SBP Slovenian Soldiers

[icebreakr 3157]

Sahbazz from our team is preparing out units from A1 to be released for A2. Here's one teaser shot. This army will probably also be used as official Island Panthera Government army ;)

p.s. guns in photo are just default BIS, our army of course uses FN Herstal F2000 and it will be present along as F2000S.

Glad to see these guys in ArmA2. Great work!

[mr_centipede 31]

Is it a port? I always wanted to port ARMA1 marines... (my reskin troops) but it always crash when I hit preview in the editor.

On topic... very nice camo... looked really fit in Chernarus :)

[icebreakr 3157]

Mr.Centipede: yeah, a lot of config fixing and model altering is needed.

p.s. Its not Chernarus, its Island Panthera ;)

One more WIP shot by Sahbazz:

ohohohohohohhohohohohohohoh....and NOW I ask you:a good slovenian like you knows the recent history of your region so why not a mod about balcans war with units and a map with mostar or sarajevo?

[icebreakr 3157]

We have all weapons made from Ex-YU conflict for ArmA1/2 for personal use, for example M70AB2, M72 MG, tromblon mines, Zolja and stuff like that. But otherwise I refuse do any recreations of bloody wars of 90's, memories are still too fresh and mostly I don't want to offend anyone.

You can find YU weapons in SBP4ACE 1.5 for Ace Mod, that only works in ArmA 1. I guess you'll have to wait some more to see it in A2.

Cool textures, but I'm wondering if you will go beyong retexturing and make some differences in the model or not.

Anyway, textures are pretty good as I said.

I question just how many african faces we should be seeing in the Slovenian army.

If I'm wrong then please correct me, It's just I've been searching the internet and I can't find one picture of a black Slovenian soldier...

Go ahead acuse me of being 'racist', I don't care. If I'm going to use european units then I expect european skins, If I want to see african militia then I don't expect to see a bunch of europeans, If I want to play as the People's Liberation Army, then I don't expect half of my team to be of african descent.

I would have hoped the maker would have cast aside political correctness for realism, like the maker of the upcoming PLA mod, Fromz. If black or caucasian faces were used in the upcoming PLA mod then it would look ridiculous, the same applies here.

To answer why I care so much, it's because, to me at least, ARMA2 is meant to be about realism.

Sky999: well, you are right. Slovenian Army doesn't have a single black person on the roster. That is a shame, but I think that will change soon, too. We accept all people, all races in all areas (work, sports, friendship, army) and we are a proud member of EU.

In A1 we removed black faces and there were couple of guys calling me racist because of that (couldn't be further from the truth). I agree, realism matters. And therefor we will have Caucasians only. When that changes in RL we will fix it in A2, okay? ;)

New WIP shots:

Desert camo

Standard camo

Thanks go to our member Sahbazz and Maj Z. New AI soldiers have random Slovenian names and all are Caucasian as in RL. Weapons Herstal's FN F2000 and F2000GL are already in A2, but they are tweaking the configs and polishing out the details. Soon.

heh

some community members search for not existing problems or had no geography lessons ?

in Arma2 you can simply inherit class from CDF and they speak Czech (Slavic language)

i wait when someone will tell it about Polish army, hehehe

or if someone will do African country army addon or Japan army than should there be white blonde "for political correctness" ?

Good work man, love the camo.

Any new WIP pic !!

[icebreakr 3157]

Team is finishing up a new version today, but we're still converting FN F2000 from A1. Otherwise we're using them for months now ;)

[icebreakr 3157]

Completed betatest of new weaponry and Isla Duala v1.05 (only non-public, pre-v1.1 test)

(Click to see 800KB full-size image)

Hats off to creators Sahbazz and Maj Z. from our SBP Team!

Pack will feature woodland and desert camos. Default weaponry is FN F2000S, FN Minimi and M9 (Beretta), but pack will feature older Yugoslav weapons too: M70AB1 and M70AB2 (with tromblone mine), M72B1 machinegun and M80 Zolja RPG.

M-80 Zolja features advanced functions:

~15% of shots will fail. 3% fins won't open properly and will fly off wildly to other direction, ~7% will fail on impact with a little bang and very little damage to vehicle. Soldier throws the used tube to the ground and a small heat smoke can be seen coming from the now useless tube lying on ground.

This is Bosnia: we're well aware of Slovenian new camo that is currently still in testing phase. When it will get official we will take hi-res photos and put it to A2.
