Lost Brothers Jordanian and Syrian Military Pack

[miles teg 1]

Ok finally, we're releasing our Jordanian Addon pack as many have been clamoring for it to be released despite a few parts that have never been finished (spartan APC, EE-11 Urutu APC, F-16, etc...).   We're releasing it because our primary addon maker/editor has left the mod and if we do not release it now, it will likely never be released (or played if we release it much later).   Included in this pack is our alpha Syrian military stuff that again, is being released for the same reasons despite a few minor bugs.  

You will be happy to see also that we are including a fixed Egytian T-55 and a brand new IAF Kfir C-7 Fighter Bomber in this pack as well as a VASTLY improved ammo.pbo that gives MUCH more realistic range and dammage properties.  It also in many cases shortens engagement ranges so that now you can usually see what's shooting at you.

The pack inlcudes the following:

Jordan

Infantry-

1. Regular Infantry in Woodland and Desert cammo BDUs.

2. Paratroopers

3. Jordanian Special Operations-Unit 71

4. Jordanian Public Security Directorate (Police Commandos)

2. M60A3

3. M60A3 Level One Phoenix Upgrade (120mm cannon)

6. Ratel 20 wheeled IFV

7. M163A2 Vulcan Air Defense System

8. M113 APC (M2, M240, Mk-19, and Ambulance variants)

Cars-

1. Rokon AB23 Spec Ops dirt bike

Aircraft-

1. UH-1 Huey (troop transport and Medivac)

2. AH-1 variants

3. F-5 Tigershark (3 variants)

Screenshots below:

downloading now - great screenshots Miles!

Looks good.

Excellent , excellent Miles Teg , but it should be known that the Syrian T-72 is not a T-72M (which is t-72 ural export) but in fact either a T-72B "Dolly Parton" era (kontakt-1) or T-72S (Shilden).

If I also may ask the OFP news item that came with the old updates of this showed various other units such as the M51 Super Sherman etc... what happened to them and their future plans ?

[Chapman2424 0]

Miles - great job on the new pack - only one issue I have found - the Jordanian M60A1 has no main gun ammo - but does have co-ax & 12.7mm M2 ammo - might be something missing in the config.

Also - the Syrian BMP-1 & BMP-2 models are the best I have seen to date - I love the rear doors opening - very realistic. The Ratel 20 is also very well done.

You are right - these new weapon systems will have me fighting newer battles on newer fronts - thanks for the new lease-on-life for OFP.

Cheers,

Chapman

[miles teg 1]

Ack!!! Sorry about the M60A1 problem....I never tested that one as I usually just use the Phoenix (which is the current version of the M60 used by the Jordanian Army).

As far as the BMP's go those were done by another mod and just fixed up by Calm Terror for that mod...they were never released however in OFP and since we had permission to use them for our own mod, Calm Terror converted them to Syrian use. The Ratel 20 is courtesy of the Bush Wars Mod. Trust me, the Ratel 20 is only a small taste of the awesome stuff that the Bush Wars Mod had made for OFP....why they never released any of that stuff is beyond me. Fortunately they are converting their stuff into ArmA, however like my mod, they are doing it very slowly. I HOPE TO GOD that they convert their amazing ground vehicles!!! This Ratel 20 in our mod isn't even their latest version which is much improved from the one in our mod.

But I'm glad you're enjoying the pack. Like you I'm also still enjoying messing around with all of these packs because of the massive amount of mission scenarious possible....now if only I had the time to make more professional missions....

I still want to make a massive Naval mission for Addon Pack #3 with full-scale naval warfare, amphibious assaults, and with naval commandos being deployed from ships by both sides.

One of these days I'll have the time.

Hopefully OFP and the LoBo Mod will continue to provide entertainment for years to come.

Look on the bright side....as the years go by and computers are getting faster, we can now begin to play my 200+ unit missions in OFP.

If you haven't already try out some of my missions that I included in Addon Pack #3 (both regular and user missions).

To Universal- Yeah I realized after I released the pack that the T-72's were named wrong after I realized that the ERA was not set up in the same manner as Kontakt-5 usualy is (in a clam-shell configuration). Plus like you said, Syria still has the older model T-72's with a bit less armor. However I think I read somewhere that they were getting some newer T-72's so that may change.

I'll keep you up to date on the Isherman's. Shit...someone upgraded our Isherman's textures and messaged me awhile back, but I forgot who it was...damn..I need to see if I still have any messages from them so I can credit them properly before releasing those. But as I mentioned in PM, I will first find the right ammo.pbo for them and make sure they are working well.

Universal, if you have any experience making infantry, maybe you can help make some historic IDF/Egyptian units for a small historic pack.

I'll have to also hunt down our old T-34, IS-2, and SU-100 addons to see what condition they were in. The T-34 I know worked, but the others I remember having a few problems.

That looks nice dl and edit

Only one question - do units really wear flag patch at that place like in your screenshot?

[Chapman2424 0]

looking forward to older systems brought out Miles (T-34, Isherman, etc.)  - some of your Jordanian units can be also used as Iranian units (M-60A1 & Scorpion Light tank) - which again - adds to more endless battles.  My Iran-Iraq conflict just got more battlefield assets.

It's a darn shame that no-one came out with a Chieftain (Khalid) MBT - but we can't ask for everything.

Cheers,

Chapman

i am downloading now and one question: can you make the plastinian addon pack next time?

[miles teg 1]

To Cobra5000:

For OFP we won't be making any Palestinian addons.  However we did release a while back a Arab insurgent/civilian pack that has lots of armed Arab militia that can be used to simulate Palestinian militants and civilians (it even included Arab women).   Rebel was supposed to come out with a updated version of it but I'm not sure if he ever finished it or released it.

Yes the flag is worn on exactly that spot by the real life police commandos (the real ones actually have two flags) who do both VIP protection work as well as counter-terrorism operations.  Below is a pic of the real life unit that ours are based on:

Thanks for relasing Jordanian and Syrian pack Miles! Now, LoBo is so huge, fun and so... endless.

Pack is great, but there's no HD option for Jordanians and Syrians. It's not a big problem, but non-HD units are so deadly - one RPK kills my whole team in 30 seconds, from 500 meters.

Can you add HD units for Jordanian and Syrian infantry (Maybe as separate config or addon.), please?

Hi Miles Teg,

Good to hear from you. What confuses me is why there is no BMP-3 for the Syrians in this pack. AFAIK they have about a hundred+ of BMP-3's. IS-2 ? do u mean IS-3 because IS-2 was never deployed in Egypt only IS-3 and IS-3M (with dshkmt). That being said then for a historic pack for Syria it would then also need a STUG-III and a panzer IV ausf H.

It is possible syria is getting the T-72B mod 1988/1990 (t-90 style kontakt-5).

Regards,

Universal

[punishment 1]

Am i trippin or are some people floating and shooting in the last pic?

[miles teg 1]

Nah, in the last pic, on the upper left side, they are shooting in the prone position laying down in the snow on a slope.  The stuff in the air however is some kind of debris getting blow up into the air...those might be bodies that got blown into the air. lol

To other requesting improvements: Until we get someone to help us with fixing up this pack, this will be the last update for OFP for the moment as we'd really like to convert our MASSIVE OFP mod over to ArmA.  But it is not easy.

With that said, I'm hoping that Thunderbird84 and a few other hardcore OFP mod makers will perhaps be intersted in fiixing up some loose ends in our OFP mod.

There is no BMP3 because we never had time to convert much for the Syrians and had not gotten any permissions to convert anyone's BMP3 model. I can't find our IS2 model, but maybe it was an IS3.... maybe we had the wrong model. We did have a SU-100 though which I know was used.

As for the newer T-72's, yeah I heard Syria was modernizing their T-72's but I haven't heard if this deal had gone through yet pending their payment of money they already owed the Russians. But maybe they worked things out.

omg best ofp addon !!! + + +

[cobra5000 0]

Where is the egyptian mirage? and can you add more syrian helicopters and the regular lebanese army?

[Supernova 0]

Miles Teg,

The Syrian BMP-1's and BMP-2 are by far one of the best of all the new bmp-1 and bmp-2 models. Shame the bmp-2 doesnt come with sideskirts and bmp-1 a version without it.

[miles teg 1]

Cobra, the Egyptian mirage aircraft unfortunately got left out when we updated the IDF Kfir fighter bomber (using a totally different model). Although to be honest, the Egyptian Mirage was using a very crappy model and was an aircraft that is no longer used by the Egyptian airforce.   At any rate, while I'd love to develop the mod further, our mod simply lacks the manpower as its basically just me and Jewish Freak (formerly Soviet Freak) working on stuff and we're primarily concentration on ArmA unless we find someone who wants to help develop the LoBo addons for OFP.  

Honestly I don't think there's a lot of room for complaining as we provide a MASSIVE amount of addons and several maps for an unlimited range of missions.  I also made a bunch of missions for the last addon pack and will probably still continue to make missions for Addon Pack #3 (and these latest Arab military packs).  

But yeah right now, we just need new members.

Awsome addon pack, thanks very much man for creating and releasing it. I've very glad I'm downloading LoBo Addon Pack 3 too.

Now I have exactly what I want to create my interpretation of WW3 in LoBo's Basrah which I downloaded before.

My PC now is VERY slow though , but I am hopefully getting a faster laptop soon, and if I learn how to publish missions with all the codes, I'll release one or two - hopefully a whole campaign.

... all in the name of peace, to scare and detere us from allowing WW3 to happen in these very unstable and troubled times. Remember, war is only fun in OFP - everywhere else it's either sensationalised fictional bullshit or an evil reality.

[miles teg 1]

We also did a joint-release of Iranian units with Bucketman and the IM:UC mod made some excellent Iraqi addons if you want to simulate WWWIII there if you don't already have those addons.

The Iranian infantry pack (which includes a EE-9 Cascavel light tank and an Iranian F-4) is the last link on this page:
