Project RACS

I think you just dont seem to understand its pointless to make one plane with 2 bombs and then the same exact plane with 4 bombs instead.... why not just make one with 4.

no one bitched at southy when he released the french versions with 4 BGLs and 4 AS30Ls.....

I reckon for gameplay purposes it would be better to have the 4xAS30L or 4xBGL versions. Whichever versions you end up with in the end, chances are I'm gonna play around with them in missions anyway  

thanks and i am sorry if my words came across a bit harsh. i really do enjoy the discussion of our addons. it has actually helped add and remove items from this project. We also want to make sure this doesnt turn into a flight sim mod as we have lots of other cool stuff and i dont want it all to be overshadowed. The ships are coming along so well and Scars09 is finishing the last couple issues witht he leos.

@Leitner.... there will be a jeep pack that is ont he drawing board covering just what you suggested as well as other versions and technicals.

Ok, thank!

speaking of jeeps I found Bobos OLD Racs HUMVEE reskin that look really good

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1866

maybe project racs could with bobos permisson use these humvees. HEck maybe make a 105mm Rifle. and m240 versions. maybe even one with a carl gustav instead of a tow. be a nice little nasty suprise for Sla armor who think there just dealing with a Scout platoon.

recoiless rifles fit on the land rovers too...... MUUUHHHAAAHAAA

and FA Dalai Lamar has a thing for them so im surprised we dont have motorcycles equipped with them....

Sahranis speak Esperanto; "Regna Armea Corpuso de

Sahrani" (the hard "C" is a Sahrani affectation - strictly it

should be Korpuso).

In reality it's a British colony and maintains a Royal Marines

naval party (NP 8801) who are responsible for training the

feckless, mincing, posturing, nancy-boy, Johnny-foreigner

floppys. The American connection is just a B.S. fiction to

appeal to the US computer game market.  

And please get your history straight. The Sahrani islands

were "reclaimed" after the Crimean war by dint of the RM

ship's detachment of H.M.S. Bundook storming ashore, kicking

any pathetic foreign military off it and intimidating the locals

into becoming British. That was in early 1857.

Portugal had territorial designs on it but their crack invasion

force was kicked off in 1982 by a scratch task force

comprised of ACF, ACC and WRAC personnel.

[wld427 1705]

thats a different twist......i like it

[fritz160 wolf 0]

i know man i know Im just saying a good mix of landrovers and humvees Could kick the Sla sry BRDM and UAZ fleet ass. 24 7. it would be nice to see the humvees in the ELITE king divison maybe. also blnds open and medical humvees maybe a good choice.

[fritz160 wolf 0]

and about the Bike. ya MEan like this.

http://static.flickr.com/139/323354239_ab016bf84a_o.jpg

i can see it like that on the sla side. but on the RAcs i can see it as a possibly been towed via cart.

The retexturing on mirage 2000 is done

here are some shots:

looks nice!

The plane could use some dirt on certain spots maybe

[Daniel 0]

These aircraft are amazing in game, I especially love the Puma gunship!  

How do I use the AS30L missiles in game?

Some of the planes still have the cockpit bug that was present in Footmunch's first F16 release.

Also, i'd suggest a bit of wear, dust or scratches over the Sahrani Airforce markings, they look a bit pasted on at the moment.

[Imshi-Yallah 0]

That really is rather nice.

Still waiting for those ground units first.

Some divs should get together and plan a Racs campaign with a strong narrative to give life to all of this stuff.

[fritz160 wolf 0]

well since Majrunis released the RACS t90 in his t90 pack this is how i personaly see the armored forces line up.

sahrani conflict 2007/2009

M60a1 patton 252

m60a3 pattons 525

panzer leo 1. 321

Leo 2 a4. 152.

M60 2000. 20.

.... .

AFterwar. Possible ww3. timeline

M60 fleet totaly upgraded to M60 2000 standerds

434. estimating losses of 1 out of 4 pattons.

LEo 1 Retired from service. OR converted to Engineering vehicles.

LEo 2 320 possible A4 with A6 elertioncs. possibily bought more.

T72. 120. EX sla or bought from ex warsaw countries.

T90 SA. 150. Possibly From Unifacation of the sahrani island and armies or bought. from ex warsaw countries.

just my own little theroy

[wld427 1705]

some random WIP pics.....

Sailors.... still need alot of work.....

Ships.....

early workon paratroopers....

[Benoist 0]

The para need a little more of work, but they are in good way.

The sailors in the other hand... I know it's a WIP, but they look like more like civilians with weapons and/or militar equipment.

[wld427 1705]

well really the naval guys should not need to look like anything more than that. The helmeted soldier is an assault soldier for a storming party or manning rhibs. the soldier with the vest and hat is the boarding party. and the soldier with rifle and flak vest is the deck crew to man guns. One more soldier will be added in the blue BDU with no vest and a hat as the regular sailor. The last guy is the admiral. They are VERY early WIP so once FA Dali Lamar is done with them the texture will be much inproved on the uniforms.

[eble 3]

They look good, wouldn't expect the navy to have much more equipment than that anyway.

[Leitner 0]

The sailors look good, but it can be nice if one of the two sailor have an helmet...

[cbfasi 4]

It will be worth considering sailors in full actions stations kit, helmets etc for use on the ships.

What you haev shown however is great for them situations such as boarding parties, and low risk actions.

If any threat posed against a ship they would done helmets etc

Yes but what about Marines? In the US the marines are a special Corps, another branch of the Navy, but in most of the countries are a part of the Navy, and they sail with the sailors in the boats.

I'm telling you this because I'm going to be a Marine.

Erh.. just wondering

Where are you going to have room for all of those??

Sahrani is 400m2...

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

So thats roughly 14~15% of the island stacked with tanks side-by-side...

Then counting the crew.

Sahrani location (BIS info)  39°57'0.00"N 40° 1'12.00"W then moving west to find whats close and might be a real Sahrani.

The island Azoren / Flores ( 39°25'19.03"N  31°11'21.00"W)

Area

-   Total 2,346 km² (n/a)

Population

-   2006 estimate 243,018 (n/a)

-   2001 census 241,763

-   Density 104/km² (n/a)

So i ask .. Where are you gonna put the vehicles. And is the whole population of Sahrani made of male soldiers?

You might need more realistic numbers

well congatulations on becoming a marine....Im in the Army so i feel there is nothing special at all about the marines

our naval infantry will be completely separate from the sailors. yes they will have a full host of equipment. I only showed thise solders as they are the ones we made to man the ships. They will have completely different uniforms and equipment as the US maries do form the US navy.

there are more addons in the works.... .just thought i would show a few pics of whats ont he workspace lately.....

thanks for the interest

That's not the mod speaking Raven don't worry. We, Project Racs, in particular me think theat there would be no more than 60-70 tanks total on the entire island North and South tops.... Both sides. We are not professing numbers at all, but just leaving it up to the fanbase and mission makers to decide. I totally agree those numbers are out of this world crazy hihg considering Georgia which is connected to lots of countries and a former soviet republic, had like 100 tanks and a population of millions. I originally thought RACS should have like 20 tanks period. My first plan was to make it primarily a wheeled APC army with a few outdated light and medium tanks.

Ah cool

A number of 12 Leopard 1A5 DK woulden be unrealistic. (Denmark got 12 of em rotting on an airfield looking for someone who wants em) <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Google earth 56°18'36.27"N 10°36'1.99"E

I would reduce the number of people, Sahrani is full of small villagies than cities, and I don't know where they could store so many planes and tanks.

I chosed Marines over Army because they have better equipment, I never understood why the USMC are so praised
