US Desert Vehicles (WIP)

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Iraqi Pattern

Current Russian Scheme As Far As I Know...

Soviet Era Pattern?

[soul_assassin 1750]

All 3 camos above look wrong to me. Iraqi's used pure sand yellow sometimes with olive drab camo pattern. Russian vehicle desert patterns as far as I rember only used in Afghan war were yellow/brown.

If you did serious effort trying to get permission and get no response in a reasonable time

frame (2-4 weeks), according to the BI (forum) rules, you still may publish the work.

Of course stating the actual source clearly.

Sorry to be completely off topic, but is this actually true!?

Yeah this is the actual tank camo pattern that is currently in use by the Iraqi's

it's just a simple sand yellow colour, nothing more. Those BMP-2's in the background seem to be a sort of grayish colour though? Strange... anyway here is another shot of some T-72's from a better angle:

I recall reading it somewhere as well, but I can't seem to find it in the Forum Rules any more..

Anyways, if you have any problems contacting someone for permission, try contacting Placebo (head moderator), according to this ArmA1 thread, he can contact the person directly and possibly give you advice what to do if you can't contact the original author.

I forgot to add to my post that the first pic is just a suggestion for his pattern. (The reason I said Iraqi is because it was under an Iraqi tank on the site I got it from.) The 2nd is the actual Russian Camo and (AFAIK) the 3rd is older Soviet Era Camouflage..

Placebo stated in like that in the forum. Search for his post.

Alright guys GREAT News!

Schnapsdrosel has agreed to let me add his desert marine soldiers in the config for the desert vehicles. :bounce3: Expect to see them in action on the next release. RicoADF will be working on integrating them into the addon.

In the mean time until we decide a good russian/ofpfor desert scheme :j: i will finish the usa side as planned with some snow vehicles for the upcoming and current snow islands.

I figured instead of giving them a snow camouflage, they might look cooler if i covered them with snow. To make them look like they've been doing a lot playing in the snow. It might look like a lot of work. but really it's not too much work. It's all about getting it to look like snow.

The First vehicle i've done are the M1A1 and the M1A2 Tusk. they were meant to be tests to see if i could achieve the right look. I think i did a pretty good job but i wanna hear what you guys have to say, suggestions...

here are the pics:

tell me what you think

Edit:

just realized the pics are over 100kb's so i fixed em

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

I'd say give them a bit more of a dusting, although they look pretty good right now. For some reason they make me think of Nuclear Winter and Fallout/Ashes.

[ricoadf 0]

Agreed with Darkhorse

[Chrisgs 10]

Bit more dust yeh, but excellent work, well done.

[Drew 10]

hate to be off topic here but the desert vechiles, dont suppose you could retexture the cobra for me?I'm making a mission and it would be nice if I had a desert cobra instead of the grey one used in my video :D

Isn't that Israelian Cobras ?

edit : ho, you added a second pic, i was talking of the first ;)

On topic now, thank you very much for your great work Marc15yo, it's a pleasure to play with your "toys" :)

[ricoadf 0]

First link is Israeli and 2nd link is an olive drab AH-1G I think, one of the old models.

Modern marine cobra's come in gray and thats it.

Ok well a little update for the Russian side. I got my desert template finished for the T-90. We can go anywhere from this. any type of camo really. It's up to you guys to decide.

1 - Desert Tan (like the US vehicles)

2 - Desert Tan with Brown camo like in this pic:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/T-90_armyrecognition_russia_011.jpg

3 - We can always go with Soviet era green with Sand covered all over it. like in this pic:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/IA_T-90_in_action.jpg/450px-IA_T-90_in_action.jpg

Really it's up to you guys i personally like them all.

Anyways here is what the Desert Tan template looks like. we can leave it like this or choose from one of the above choices:

http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy69/marc15yo3/arma22009-11-0317-10-29-68.jpg

@Drew - I guess i could do a little something. But i was thinking maybe instead of filling personal requests for people it would be a lot better if the entire community could benefit from it. maybe you guys could agree on a desert camo cobra like seen in this pic:

http://www.heliproz.com/images/cobra-3.jpg

but this one is an ah-1w not an ah-1z.

But i also need to tell you that the ground vehicles are going to be my top priority so maybe aircraft and other in game assets will come in later

I'd say give them a bit more of a dusting, although they look pretty good right now. For some reason they make me think of Nuclear Winter and Fallout/Ashes.

What exactly do you guys mean by "dusting"? i'm kind of confused a bit. do you mean i should take some of the snow off a bit more? or ADD more snow. if you guys could be a bit more specific. :confused:

[Drew 10]

Thanks man,

and http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy69/marc15yo3/arma22009-11-0317-09-44-80.jpg is the best in my opinion.

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

By "give them more of a dusting" I meant add more snow, thick in some places not so thick in others. But keep some areas with just a thin bit of snow because it looks good.

[Rodrigo68 17]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...russia_011.jpg This Desert Tan with Brown camo for the T90 looks great. As for the US vehicles good work!

Also what are you using to edit PAA's?

Edited November 9, 2009 by jakethesnake245

[Black1ron 10]

The snow camo vehicles need more of that good stuff. Looks like someone just put it through a light snow machine for half-a-second.

[thepiespy 2]

One thing you might want to consider for the winter versions is a field applied camouflage, several tank crews on all sides in World War II would try and camouflage their vehicle with whatever white paint or paint like material they could find.

[ricoadf 0]

hmm, actually that would be good, a snow 'camo' and vehicle with snow on them as 2 different vehicles

[Marc15yo 0]

Hey guys. I just reworked on the snow vehicles again, by request.

I GIVE YOU MORE SNOW:

I hope i got it right?

About the Russian/OPFOR business. i've come up with a great idea.

Russians will have 3 themes for their vehicles:

1) Desert Tan (like in the T-90 pics from my last post) except with brown camouflage just like jakethesnake suggested

2) and a Green version like this one:

http://img10.imageshack.us/i/bmp2wrubezhmby02.jpg/

3) will be the green version (#2) covered in snow

Russian Insurgents:

1) For the Insurgent Desert vehicles i'm thinking of giving them desert tan like this one:

http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/2_bmp2.jpg

except really really beat up and rusty looking.

2) For their snow vehicles they will have their current skins except covered in snow.

that's about it for the OPFOR side.

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Looks good. Keep Up the good work.
