I thought that HK 79 would be more suitable for G3 in 85

I thought HK 69 is for G36

While there were variants of G3s with various grenade launchers, Bw did not have attached grenade launchers to any rifle. They had the HK69 as a "standalone" weapon. It was called "GraPi" standing for Granatpistole (= Grenade Pistol).

The G36 does have a underbarrel grenade launcher wich is the AG36 (Anbau Granatwerfer 36 = Attach(able) grenadelauncher 36)

so what with the HK79 if army had no such weapon ?

for whom it was and what with the HK33 in army ?

or maybe you know if DDR used AKM+GP

Thank you Maza, unfortunatelly we know the topic since a while now, but would be looking for evidence of greater quality that just paintings, I can use my imagination, but would like to rely on photographical materials rather.

greater quality and photographical materials

as you wish

We were talking about the Gear - Magazine Pouches, Webbings, Belts...

Prototype Camos form the 1950's won't really help

As I showed under the link - the uniform itsel is ready..

Well, nevermind

You want those ponys as an Editor Extra, or playable?

BW did have HK69 and HK79 just not as underbarrel grenade lauchers. It was comparable to a pistol.

HK doesnt produce exclusively for the Bw. I don't quite know how it works exactly but with auto financed productions, HK can do what it wants. HK 33 was a prototype and not used in the Bw (judging from wiki).

I'm afraid i'm no expert. I just stumbled on the fact that Bw did not have any underbarrel gls, instead they wear it separately. Hence i can't really tell if DDR had a underbarrel GP

Hi, I just wanted to say that i really love your work!! You've made excellent models and textures!!! ATM Project'85 is the only reason to come to the forums. I hope that you keep your top quality and really look forward towards a release!

regarding nva and bundeswehr material: here in germany, there is a shop called RÄER selling old army stuff like suits, gear, etc. unfortunately the page is in german but with the help of online translation, maybe the link is of any use to you...

HK 33 was a prototype and not used in the Bw (judging from wiki).

The HK33 was popular with a good few special forces around the globe (including British and US) , and was used by Turkey and Thailand (probably amongst others) Would make a good resistance weapon, but was never issued to the German army.

@Vilas: I think I remember reading somewhere that the East Germans used rifle grenades, although I could well be wrong.

[manzilla 1]

So folks... This is what the patience is all about.

Poor quality, vilas? They look pretty damn good thus far. I'll be sure to tape my jaw shut when some "better quality" pictures get released.

I look forward to seeing some more pix. Thanks

Today's additions

Polish Paratrooper

Reworked NVA, which is getting shape [slowly, but consequently]

[fingolfin 1972]

Nice looking paratroopers!

Do you have any plans for heavy AT weapons? Maybe BGM-71 TOW and M47 Dragon for the US Army, Milan for the Bundeswehr and AT4 Spigot for the soviets?

[digitalcenturion 20]

Any chance of a update on that SA-9? Are there plans to port the MT-LBs from OFP to enable the creation of a SA-13 among other things? From what i remember the MTLBs were visually some of the most appealing addons back then.

[vilas 477]

i have edited first post and i put there links to all units (man classes) from MOD (latest changes screen 21, 11, 12 - Poles, East Germans and quasi borning BW )

in this mod will also come M1 Abrams (105 mm)

[GodHammer 0]

As requested for the beautiful FrogFoot, some nasty loadout

Cheers, GH.
