Yeb 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Realistic Designation version 1.3 by Yeb Download here (version 1.3): mihd Media Fire ArmaHolic ePrison.de Hi all I was kinda bored, so I decided to make this little addon that replaces almost all single weapon and vehicle names of the games from weapons to vehicles through missiles by more realistic names. It will only replace displayed names and does not replace weapon classnames, hence it won’t affect missions design and addweapon/removeweapon commands. /!\In ArmA, weapon and vehicle names are via stringtable, hence, I only replaced the names for English, German, French, Spanish and Italian languages./!\ List of what have been changed so far (some weapons may still have the default names ): Equipment: NV Goggles -> AN/PVS-7B Laser Marker -> Ground Laser Target Designator (GLTD) II Pistol: M9SD -> M9 QDS Makarov -> Makarov PM MakarovSD ->  6P9 Rifle: M4 Aimpoint -> M4 M68 M4 M203 -> M4 M203A1 ACOG M4A1 M203 -> M4A1 M203A1 ACOG M4A1 SD -> M4A1 M68 QDS M4 SPR -> Mk12 Mod 0 M16A4 ACOG -> M16A4 RCO M16A4 M203 ACOG -> M16A4 M203A2 RCO M16A4 M203 –> M16A4 M203A2 MG: M249 -> M249 SAW M240 -> M240G PK -> PKM Launcher: M136 -> M136 AT4 Javelin -> FGM-148 Javelin Stinger -> FIM-92F Stinger Strela -> 9K32 Strela-2 Grenade: M67 -> M67 Hand Grenade RGo -> RGD-5 Hand Grenade Sniper: M24 -> M24 SWS M107 -> M107 KSVK -> KSVK 12.7 Vehicle weapons: MG: M2 -> M2 HB KPVT -> KPVT 14.5mm Cannon: M197 -> M197 20mm M61 -> M168 20mm AZP 85 -> 2A7M 23mm GAU12 -> GAU-12/U Equalizer 25mm 2A42 -> 2A42 30mm M256 -> M256A1 120mm D81 -> 2A46-1 125mm GAU 8 -> GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm GSh301 -> 9A-4071K 30mm Howitzer: M119 -> M119A1 105mm D30 -> 2A18M 122mm Grenade Launcher: Mk 19 -> Mk19-3 40mm AGS-30 -> AGS-30 30mm Bomb: GBU-12 -> GBU-12 Paveway II Rockets and Missiles: FFAR -> Hydra 70 mm 57 mm rocket -> S-5K 57mm 80 mm rocket -> S-8K 80mm M220 (TOW) -> BGM-71A TOW AT-5 -> 9M113 Konkurs VIKHR-1 -> 9A1472 Vikhr AGM-114 Hellfire -> AGM-114K Hellfire II Maverick -> AGM-65D Maverick S8T -> S-8T 80mm CH29 -> Kh-29L AIM-9X-> AIM-9X Sidewinder Vehicles: Air: A10 -> A-10A Thunderbolt II AH-1Z -> AH-1Z UH60 FFAR -> UH-60A ESSS UH60 -> UH-60A AH-6 -> AH-6J MH-6 -> MH-6J AV-8B (GBU) -> AV-8B Harrier II (GBU) AV-8B (AA) -> AV-8B Harrier II (CAP) MI-17 -> Mi-17-1V MI-17 (57mm rockets) -> Mi-17-1V (UB-32) Cars: 5-T truck -> M939A2 UAZ -> UAZ-469B Ural -> Ural-4320 HMMWV -> M998 HMMWV HMMWV M2/Mk19 -> M1025 HMMWV HMMWV TOW ->  M1036 HMMWV (M220) Stryker M2/Mk19 -> M1126 Stryker Stryker ATGM -> M1134 Stryker ATGM Repair truck -> M939A2 Recovery (same for Ural-4320) Ammo truck -> M939A2 Ammo Supplier (same for Ural-4320) Fuel truck -> M939A2 Fuel Tanker (same for Ural-4320) BRDM ATGM -> BRDM-2 (9P137) Armored: M1A1 -> M1A1 M113 -> M113A3 M113 Ambulance -> M113A4 AMEV M163 Vulcan -> M163 VADS Shilka -> ZSU-23-4MZ Shilka T-72 -> T-72M Any suggestions or feedbacks are very welcomed since It is my very first add-on and I'm a newbie.

Yeb 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Thanks ofpdeadeye and Big for the mirrors. @HGuderian: Yup, seems I've messed up the closed 5-ton truck config entry for some languages. Sorry for unpleasantness. I'm going to fix it and thanks you for your feedback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monty67t 0 Posted March 30, 2008 As far as the UH-60s go. There is no way to designate weather these are supposed to be Alpha or Lima models. They are unrealistic in the fact that they have miniguns and FFAR rockets sitting next to fuel tanks on the ESSS. In real life the conventional Army uses M240Hs on the hawks and would never have FFAR rockets. The only unit to use miniguns and FFARs is the 160th and they would never mount them next to external fuel tanks. Based on what BIS decided to do with the hawks in ArmA, I think the names you have given them is probably the best choice. Good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inkompetent 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Very nice list! So gonna use this one! One thing I noted is that I do think that the Hellfires are AGM-114K Hellfire II in ArmA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted March 31, 2008 Bug:When flying the A-10, it's hard to tell if the avenger is in 1 or 2 second burst mode as it's no longer labled. there are burst modes? :S thats odd my a10 has full auto only Before the 1.11 patch it had 1 and 2 second burst modes. 1.11 changed it to full auto. I guess this addon was made with 1.11 in mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yeb 0 Posted March 31, 2008 @acadiancrusader: Thanks for the kind words but you should rather thank the real addon makers, the ones who contributes to this game by amazing and outstanding addons, I'm especially thinking about CameronMcDonald, Kegety, Solus, ACE team, IMWM team, etc and I may forget most of them. I have just made this tiny addon to contribute to this amazing game ArmA is in my own way as I have no skill in moddeling nor config. To be honnest, every one could have made this addon and some people may find this addon useless and they may be right as bis names can be much more convenient ingame. This paragraph has nothing to do with you, be sure of it . I just wanted to clear the things up. @Sakura-chan and Inkompetent Thanks, gonna fix the Ural and the hellfire. @BLUFOR I've checked in game and seems fine here, could you be more precise please? @ColonelSandersLite See Maddmatt post. But here what is the 1.11 changelog says about GAU-8 (an incorrect fix btw, the 1.08 had it right): * FIX (WEAPONS): GAU-8 fixed rate of fire Ok, I updated this addon, here is the changelog (not a big deal, the addon itself is not a big deal anyhow): Version 1.1 -Fixed M939A2 5-Ton Truck: It did not appear in some languages -Tweaked repair, ammo and fuel truck names -Fixed M119A1 105 mm Cannon: It did not appear in some languages -Fixed few mistakes for wheeled vehicles -AIM-9 Sidewinder to AIM-9X Sidewinder -BGM-71 TOW to BGM-71A TOW -Fixed Hellfire name -> AGM-114K Hellfire II (Thanks Inkompetent) -Fixed Ural truck name -> Ural-4320 (Thanks Sakura-chan) -Fixed GAU-8 for 1.08: It should be compatible for 1.08 and for 1.11 version now Download links: mihd Media Fire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robalo 465 Posted March 31, 2008 Cool little addon, thanks. Suggestions: Makarov SD -> 6P9 Silenced Pistol http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg154-e.htm Also, you might want to doublecheck, M82A3 and M107 might not be the same weapon. ARMA has the M107. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the feedback. The silenced version of the makarov is awful in arma, It's just a makarov with a silencer sticked to it which does not exist in reality. I think i gonna let Makarov silenced, I don't know. And i gonna change the M82A3 name, M107 will be more suitable for arma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pistol in ARMA is not a silenced makarov, you're right, BUT it's a pretty good representation of the 6P9 PB: http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg154-e.htm Thanks.
