in 1984 there were only M16A1, so why in OFP in 1985 all soldiers have M16A2

"Adoption of the M16A2 by both the US Army and USMC started in the mid 1980s"

Source: Wikipedia.org

So maybe, again, the soldiers on the malden isles were somehow prioritized

US Marines frist got a small batch of M16A2's in january 1985, US Army soldiers first got M16A2's in november 1986.

Besides the OFP CWC M16 is strange M16A1/2 mix if you look at the model and textures.

Can feel that I problery should not have posted this(I am like an ar15 and OFP/ARMA adict and I am trying to quit) eny way your mod looks realy good keep up the good work!

I can imagine that the answer to this question is "when it's done" but....

Do you have any eta? How much percent of the mod is done?

An another question.... Can we take part on the mod as a beta testers or the beta test is going to be private?

btw, amazing screens, i see some "parvus style" on it

Your right it will be ready when its ready.

Our goal is to release the mod in the demo state 0.36. Which would include just the one island and the various units and vehicles in that release. With that said, some of the vehicles and weapons have only been imported from elite and still require some work. At this stage anyone can test it out.

He does know how to take a good picture now doesn't he.

Any info available on the mission conversion part?

Like who is working on it and how is it done (also via the class

system or mission files editing only).

Keep up and take care dudes.

[t_d 47]

Hudson & pennywise wrote a conversion pipe for that

[.kju 3244]

Is it possible to get even more info about it please.

Back in the days I already made such a conversion pipe with

regular expressions.

To see news ideas and implementations is always good to learn

and for inspiration.

[dab_burns 0]

once CWR is released will we be able to use all the content in our own stuff like islands?

[t_d 47]

@Q afaik the converting pipe is also based on regular expressions and a lot of command line tools for de-pboing, rapifying etc.

It is true that almost no Army units would have had M16A2's in 1985. Much less any garrison in a backwater area like CWC takes place in.

The M-16A1 would be far, far more peroid correct. My qualification rifle during basic was an M-16A1 and that was in 1990.

facts about M16:

In the late 1960 the M16A1 became the military's basic service rifle.

The M16A2 replaced the M16A1 in U.S. Army service in 1983.

The M16A3, which replace the M16A2 in 1994, is basically an M16A2 with full-automatic capability and optional M4A1-style Rail Interface System (RIS).

Malfunctions and jamming are implemented in CWR-Mod?

The M16A3 is fully-automatic version of M16A2, it have standard fixed carying handle of A2, M16A4 is now service rifle of USMC, it have 3 round burst and RAS (Rail adapter system) in front, and accesory rail on top instead of fixed carrying handle, (US army now is useing M4), M16A3 was never used by US Military

EDIT:i found that US Navy is using A3's in limited numbers

I think that CWR main goal is bring OFP feel to arma and since in OFP was M16A2...

both USMC and ARMY uses a numbers of M16A4, while its the USMC who say they are going to them, its the ARMY to first bring it into fighting

M16A2 and M4 is still the standard issus and most used rifle in US ground force

mod looks promising, but it'll look like this in final stage? I mean those PBR boats, At-4, Carl Gustaf, ... will remain from OFP or you will model/retexture them to fit Arma engine properly?

But islands are realy awesome! Old OFP in the Arma, that's increadible!

OFP had/has realy attractive war scenario(ofp is still in my HDD and at least once a week I still play with it)

BTW, nice to hear that BIS supports you guys!

[Kristian 47]

then, when nogova will be re-released to arma, we can make nogville 2!

Fist of all, the M16A4, not the A3 replaced the M16A2 in the Marines, the M4 replaced it in the Army. Like the A2, it is 3 round burst only. The Army standardized on the M4, the Marines on the full length M16A4

The M16A3 is a very, very, very limited issue item. (think some special forces). Most SF types use an M4 or M4 variant.

BTW, even though the Army type accepted the M16A2 in 1983, they still did not take delivery of production quantites until 1986.

And replaced is better read as 'started to replace while older rifles continue to serve until replaced many years later'.

Black Op (Day?)

Couldn't you give them Woodland Boonies?

Would look much better I think, cause I guess you wouldn't wear such a hat on day.

They are blackops/ special ops and I guess they'd go for stealth and camo, a Black Hat isn't the best camo

[Shadow NX 1]

I think thats just a type of rifleman as he wears insignia but i could be wrong as on the other pic with the guys dressed black they also just have such cap.

For the Blackop i also say go with the Boonies and some facepaint and for the night guys use a balaclava.

Blackops (night)

you mean this one?

I think they are good as they are, maybe a little eyecandy feature with a "roll balaclava down" / "roll balaclava up" or so

If that on the pic before is a standart rifleman, I'd ask me the same: why wear a cap like that at daylight?

I guess it's not that friggin cold on malden/everon/Kolgujev that they have to wear it at day

Give 'em Woodland boonies and they'll rock

[Fred DM 0]

i can't tell you how much i'm looking forward to this after i've seen those screenies! this may just save ArmA for me. an updated CWC was all i ever wanted in the first place.

i really like the Special Forces with the black caps. but a boonie hat version sounds cool as well. maybe include both?

No that's an option for blackop night. Blackop day has a boonie. Not every unit has a screenshot.

Is it the same boonie used by default Arma units (BLUFOR/OPFOR snipers, civilians, etc) or something more stylish?

The default Arma "boonie" looks like a beach hat, id rather see the winter cap thing, i like its combo with woodland cammo.

In other words... i think the saboteur day would look better without the beach hat .

How about the sniper, that one must be a challenge..
