ArmA Addon request thread

[Guest]

I dont know what possible plans there are in the future, but I would like very much to see a quality Huey come out for Arma, prefferably something not Namish, but more universal for any Era mission. I do miss these from Ofp, and my current Arma project would certainly use a good huey rather than the blackhawks.

WE NEED SCAR-H AND SCAR-L RIFLES FOR ARMA!!!!!

Seriously, holy crap. They would add so much to the game.

And you could... "acquire" the model from a certain other popular PC tactical shooter.

I'd like to see some equipment from the Singapore Armed Forces modeled into Arma.

SAF did have some small project done for OFP and tbh was pretty ugly and buggy. But im still hopeful for Arma.

AMX-13 would be a nice model to start with.

Or maybe the Typhoon fighter plane we just bought a year or two ago.

I'd like to have airwolf in arma, either ported from ofp but with newer textures, or a brand new one. For those who don't know airwolf

Not to mention it would be more logical to have Marines riding UH-1-N and UH-1-Y rather than Blackhawks.

its certainly as a strange a looking rifle as the SA80, true. SLR was replaced in the 1980's. As far as I'm aware its not in use anywhere in the british forces, at least not in front line duties. Same goes for the L2A3.

The uk gpmg doesnt use the red wood stock, nor does it use an ammo box. It's sprayed black (of sorts) and uses a black plastic stock. Instead of an ammo tin (in the personal weapon role this is) it uses a 100 round link belt.

we just like to be different it seems

Well the XL70 actually is an SA80. The same Armalite

AR-180 action stuffed into a bullpup format firing 5.56mm

NATO, it's just that the furniture and some external details

are different. I remember those old promo pics where they

showed a bod with the "new IW" standing beside a bod with

an SLR. The IW was always held across the chest so it

looked short and handy and the SLR was always held out

towards the camera so it looked a mile long!

And, yes, the SLR and SMG were phased out of British service

over 25 years ago - even the Senior Service don't use them

any more! They were still in use through the 1990s but by

now all of the SLRs are destroyed, legally deactivated or are

now in the hands of "soldiers" in Sierra Leone (most of the

rifles were all old and well-knackered anyway although some

lucky British lads did get brand new wooden furnitured ones

from a war emergency stock just before they were phased

out and withdrawn). They were carried [reputedly] by the SAS in GW1.

Some Brits took SLRs to the Gulf and derived some merriment

from screwing the gas regulators up tight (so they'd kick like

f**k) and then letting unwitting American boys fire them so

they'd go away thinking "what a real man's rifle them thar

Redcoats have!"!

The L2A3 was replaced in its role by the SA80 - they were

never especially popular anyway. The crappo ammo we got

in the 1980s didn't much agree with them either. You would

often either get to watch the bullet hit the ground 20 yards

downrange or have the gun run away with you as the ammo

failed to force the bolt back far enough to engage the sear!

Yeah, the wooden stocked GPMG became obsolescent when

Maranyl was approved for use for weapon furniture in October

1969! So plastic stocks were being used almost before I'd got

my first Action Man! In any case the shape of the butt on

the M240 is wrong for the British wooden butt, the flash hider

on the M240 is wrong too for a British gun and you'd need to

remove the "picatinny rail" affair on it as well, and add the

proper dovetail for the C2 and the IWS. But, OK, if one just

wants to rush it out and doesn't much give a crap for detail

or authenticity then yes I'm sure a quick repaint of the BIS

model would satisfy.

Roll on the release of the UKF stuff!

Not "different"..."better"!

edit: Sorry, the M240 butt shape is only wrong for the first

style of wooden GPMG butt. I believe that the wooden ones

are only really used by the Royal Navy and TA these days,

though. Here's the first style of wooden butt illustrated in the

User Manual for the L7A1 GPMG, dated 1962:

I'll have to be doing this early model for the boys of SPEARHEAD (qv in

a thread elsewhere in this forum)

That's very interesting. I'm sure the wikipedia article on the FAL would benefit greatly from that.

The ammo you're talking about - wasn't that stuff purchased from pakistan really cheaply. My grandfather told me about that stuff last year while I was at navy day in plymouth. He said that he would often get missfires and jamming with his Browning L9A1 on range and it turned out the ammo had seriously damaged the firing pin on his pistol.

Anyway, someone should make a mod set around the falkland islands and the 1982 war. There appears to be many parallels between opfor/ArmA and that conflict.

BF-like conquest mod and Counter-Strike mod

[BroK3n 0]

BF-like conquest mod = Berzerk maps.

CS mods = DM maps.

Your wishes have been fulfilled. Pls pay 6 dollars.

[Blackbuck 9]

The Kriss Super V would make an interesting addon

[RSharpe 0]

Are there any 7.62x51mm assault rifles in the works by add-on makers? Someone has to be on the SCAR-H and there must be some M-14 projects out there!

[wackywhiffin 0]

a few more things or plasmans UN forces, such as those white cars they have.

Also some decent, really big planes, like the one that those people made BK 32 or something like that, but more of them, for more sides and to hold even more people

WE NEED SCAR-H AND SCAR-L RIFLES FOR ARMA!!!!!

Seriously, holy crap. They would add so much to the game.

I wonder, what exactly would they add to the game, other than a different model to replace the M4 with (for all intents and purposes they are functionally identical to the M4 ingame)

Yes, the SCAR-H would add the 7.62 round with slightly different ballistics, but I still dont see what revolutionary aspect they would add to the game?

[wex-q 0]

HALO mod.

Could be cool combined with the ArmA RTS (this one) which could make it a sort of Halo Wars for PC (dunno if it actually will look like this but anyways )

Leading legions of Master Chiefs into battle with your squad, against your enemy, your friends squad, leading hordes of Covenants...

[supergruntsb78 67]

the first thing ARMA now needs are civilians who dont run like h*ll when a red guy walks around the corner (i cant figure out how to make them stand their ground )

I do not know for sure but you could try in the init of a civilian

Are there any addons being released of a Desert Humvee?

If not, could somebody make one? I'm sure it would be easy to do, I suck at things like that, trust me, I would do it myself if I could LOL.

http://www.darex.com/images/humvee001.jpg

One like that would go SO nice on the Dry Southern Sahrani island.

Cheers

[VXR 9]

Great idea, but I also do not know if there is already made one.

If there isnt made one yet, I can have a try on retexturing the BIS Humvee

[mcnools 62]

Don't think there is one, haven't seen one anywhere anyway. But yeah, it would be good to use in the dry saralite-island, desert reskins of the 5t-truck and the Strykers etc. would be nice too.

[dm 9]

Agreed, 5 Tonners and Hummers in des would be nice.

Strykers are always green tho, so no need for reskins there.

A Stryker with some extra dust and sand on it would be looking more realistic as desert version.

When the Australian SASR and Infantry are done I will have a try on retexturing those. And that isnt far away as the Aussies are nearing BETA.

[cj 1]

Yeah! That'd be awesome with the 5T aswell. Me and my friend would be SO greatful if you were to retexture them for the desert

It would be so damn godlike if someone could convert these to Armed Assault:

There are PMC's under development by 3 Studios.

Warfare Designs is talking with one about co-operation in making PMC's. One group is working on a fictional Dutch PMC.

Only have to be patient
