US Army 2009 Units

[Binkowski 26]

You're right, it is, but I just can't stand people talking out of their arse. Suhsjake, provide your sources, please.

Bink, I presented the question elsewhere, but don't recall seeing an answer:

Why are you using the HSGI Woosatch A variant for your special forces guys? Most of what I had seen was a CIRAS or an Eagle MBAV. For the sake of realism, I wouldn't use the HSGI Woosatch, considering its not part of the SFLCS kit. The earpro is spot on though, good to go.

Also, as just a suggestion, other than making a reskin for the MC troops, maybe you should update their equipment? With MC being a potential camo for the Army, I don't see them continuing to use the same old SDS crap like the FLC on their kit. Maybe try the KDH plate carrier in MC or something?(even though it pisses me off that KDH got the contract over Eagle).

Here are some pics of the KDH plate carrier that the Army has chosen:

*WARNING* Those pics are kind of large, might take a minute to load.

I'm just lazy, and don't have the time to be honest. Put that together in a few minutes (my SF anyway). I'll probably end up changing it eventually. Not to sure yet.

could you perhaps provide the specific names of the custom weapons the units have in the readme?

Something bugging me, all the M4's are firing full auto, and all the Army M4's I've seen only fire on semi and burst.

[SpiritedMachine 10]

The M4A1 has a "S-1-F" (safe/semi-automatic/fully automatic) trigger group, while the M4 has a "S-1-3" (safe/semi-automatic/3-round burst) trigger group.

-From the M4 Wikipedia page

[gabe_ruckus 5]

Yeah, I know that, but the army doesn't issue the M4A1 on a wide scale. I'm basing this on my unit, the 1st ID, and the rifles carried by the 1-87 infantry Rakkasans of the 101st Airborne Div, whose M4's I've seen and held in my hand, and have semi and burst firing modes. That, and the army got away from full auto after the M16A1 and the Vietnam war because soldiers were firing without aiming, just spraying rounds in the direction of the enemy. The US Army is one of the best fighting forces for accurate fire, because we drill careful marksmanship, and DON'T have a full auto setting on our assault rifles.

[Binkowski 26]

My unit as well as the M4's with semi / 3 round burst. Unfortunately, in ArmA2. The only class that they made was the M4A1. Unlike in ArmA1 where there was the M4 and M4A1. We'll just have to deal until well, someone modifies it.

[Hvymtal 1251]

having full auto can really help if you're in a pickle, but a burst option for longer ranges could help, too

You can't miss too fast, to win.

yes these replacement files go great with the ungreatness of MW2. Still waiting :D

[clawhammer 10]

Hey Binkowski, what do you think about making something like this:

I saw it in the Movie Hurt Locker, would be dam cool to have such an BombDefuseSuite

(In the movie its used by the us army or am i wrong?)

[CombatComm 10]

Is this signed for online use? im currently on a coop with these units.

[RUDOLF 9]

Will you make any US troops for early 90's or in 80's for future plan?

[gabe_ruckus 5]

Clawhammer, those suits are only worn by EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) units, a very specialized MOS. But yes, the Army uses them for that.

[Binkowski 26]

Is this signed for online use? im currently on a coop with these units.

Yes it is. You can download my public BIKEY from here. I used to have it hosted on OFPEC, but that data loss that happened a few days ago made me loose it.

[Solarghost 10]

wasup man, any updates?

I wanna see a radio soldier, woot!

[Binkowski 26]

Just been busy solarghost, with everything. Haven't made any real "strides" per-se on these units. Or any of my projects for that matter. I'll post up more when, well. I have more time.

[Solarghost 10]

All good bro,

Take your time :)

[clawhammer 10]

I found much more Shadow issues:

Is it my fault that i have this? Or is it an addon sided bug tough?

Thanks for help!

(Same issue with ArmA2 without any Addons)

Binkowski i hav found a bug on the "Rifleman" Unit, to kneel.

[maza94 0]

hey, can you make sniper like more that?

[vilas 478]

as i know, US military have also some more camo, do you think you could make :

- tricolor units DCU ?

- navy digital camo ?

- USAF digital tiger ?

People always love "special forces" "marines", while a lot of more soldiers units are present i.r.l.

[reconteam 19]

Just for reference, the new USAF camo looks very similar to Army ACU out on the field, probably not worth doing unless you have plenty of time on your hands.
