That's because we never ordered one. The additional per unit cost of fitting a recovery arm was around €1m at the time of our original PIIIH purchase so the Army made do with a couple of winch equipped fitters vehicles.

There are a number of softskin vehicles equipped with a recovery crane or wrecker arm in service but nothing under armour unless we have the cab armour kits for the Scania 8x8s

@warden

thanks to the malvinas mod we have an AML-90

now im sure some irish lads are going, "huh? theyre used by reserves now"

well the main reason is the 90mm cannon and since the closest is a scorpion at 76

you cant say they wouldnt be re-deployed if we needed a big hitter ;)

@ The Blink and Christian....the aug weapons...they have no support weapon in them which means currently the support class in my new models has no weapon...what would you like me to add as a placeholder?

[slatts 1978]

use the M240 till i make a reskined/renamed m240

Hi Res:

[slatts 1978]

another WIP of my own

notice how the ammo box has been removed ;) afaik we use belts over boxes

also in works for an updated weapon pack is a USP 9mm(this isnt at screen shot stage yet :) )

[mr. bravo 17]

Looks very good guys! :D I've been working on that damn "240" all week as well. Still thinking of what to do about that ridiculously large ammo-box though. It will be interesting to see what you come up with!

And in case you havent done anything about it yet, the shells drop from below the weapon, not flying out from the side as BIS made it. We managed to fix that on ours, and it's a really nice touch to it, eventhough they kinda fly through the right hand that is holding the weapon atm :p Just a tip!

Anything new on the RG32 vehicle btw? :)

[slatts 1978]

happy ST Patricks day :D

@Mr Bravo

yea i noticed that when i checked the ammo links, easy fix i think

nothing on the RG32, sent a PM but no reply

[Aeneas2020 10]

Happy St Paddys Day

I hate to say it. But to me they just don't look like Irish Soldiers of any stripe.

Erm ok could you maybe explain why?

[jibemorel 10]

I hate to say it.

But you say it anyway.

tbh i see where you come from mate

but looky here

the body armour is as correct as possible without changing the model, all that is missing really is the vest.

stalkerGB made a vest for us but i havnt got the time or know-how to make a soldier with it

it will be used in the future, but for now these are correct

Personally, I think it's the helmet that really makes a unit. Seeing as the texture work and weapons are spot on, i'd say that's your main bottleneck.

[Aeneas2020 10]

They use a pasgt/spectra style helmet...the same type in the vid. Perhaps you are thinking of the helmet they wore up until a few years ago that looked like the brit mk6.

[Daniel 0]

That's exactly what i'm thinking, my bad.

there is no vizor/peak or very little on the IDF helmet. however this seems to be the only ref that shows that. The normals for the helmet are still WIP at the moment and the shape is not 100% correct but seeing as I have had some pms from people telling me im an idiot i thought i would address it here. Oddly enough none of the people addressing complaints my way have been irish or have much knowledge of the IDF at all. (daniel not getting at you mate sorry to post below you with my rant). Either way that is that.

If it is Imshi that i know (which i think it is) he is not only Irish but is also an Officer in the IDF reserve (And an Inusrance Commando - this is inside joke). Ask nicely and im sure he'll show you his cami :P

No it wasn't him. I would appreciate any refs though :) the ones for the helmet are hard to come by. :) In fact refs are hard to come by for these guys in general.

[slatts 1978]

i think maybe it was that imshi

anyway the helmets, we have a 95% similer helmet to the ones used in arma, there a little lip at the front, ours does not have this

@aeneas, if anyone complains anymore tell them to come to me ;)

@Daniel, yes we used the british helmet a few years back, it is still used by reserves but being phased out

@imshi, you may be a little confused seeing us make kit that is brand new,(dont think im calling you stupid, i know what you say) but thats what i want. Hence the Modern in the title

@All, like i said to aeneas, contact me if you feel in anyway that stuff is wrong or we are being "idiots". First do your homework and if you still feel we are wrong, i have no problem with a mannerly talk. But call us idiots or throw in a few f**ks without proper knowledge. Dont expect a reply.
