Snake Man 407 Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) PMC Somalia Realistic Somalia mod, 1993 to present day Included units, in-game: 160th SOAR pilots African militia AH6 / MH6 Littlebirds Blackhawks (well BIS placeholders) HMMWV Mogadishu city in realistic dimensions US Army Delta Force US Army Rangers US Navy SEALs AH1 Cobra is included from stock game content. Planned features: 5t Truck Ruined buildings for present day Mogadishu United Nations Pakistani units Note; included units are fact, they are in-game and you can play with them today. Planned features mean that it is not 100% guaranteed that they will appear in this mod, we do everything we can to make it happen but no promises. This modification is currently under development and very much work in progress, basic units are in-game and playable, but modeling, texturing and config values are not finished. Especially buildings and their placement are mere placeholders now. If you want to join our team, we are looking for people to help with texturing, modeling, beta testing and research (facts, 1993 photos etc).

We are planning on releasing early alpha soon. More development details from the official PMC Somalia forum. FAQ Q: Your models etc don't look like anything on Black Hawk Down movie, why? A: This mod is about realism, not about any movie. Q: Does this big city lag on my computer? A: No, our design goal is to have decent enough frame rates in the city. Q: Will the weapons be like M16A4, Rangers used M16A2 in 1993? A: Weapons on few of the screens are just ArmA 2 defaults, we will make realistic load outs for soldiers. Q: Will the units be just re-textures? A: No, we will model more realistic gear to those units, if we find research material. Q: US Navy SEALs were not used in 1993 battle of Mogadishu! A: It was not so much publicized fact, but they were there. Q: How can I help? A: By doing research on historic realism (weapons, gear, units, uniforms, city photos, etc), texturing, modeling, also Visitor 3 or other tool terrain editing and also beta testing. Send private message to me for further details. Q: When is the release out? A: Stable release is "when its done", development releases you could even get now by asking / joining the team.

Z.agge 10 Posted July 17, 2010 Wow... This looks awesome. The city is going to require a lot of work and my computer will probably die if I try to run it, but still, I'm totally looking forward to this! Oh and by the way. The rangers look outstanding!

Janat 10 Posted July 17, 2010 Awesome, I've always wanted to have a huge city in Arma 2. All Chernarus and Takistan cities are so small compared to this... I hope it'll run well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fox '09 14 Posted July 17, 2010 well it's hard to say right now, the map is filled with low-poly blue, white, and red huts, but of course that will all be changed... very wip so it's hard to tell at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snake Man 407 Posted July 19, 2010 We have one reference problem, the SEALs. Would anyone have any references, photos, even pieces of information of what camo/gear SEALs used in 1993? If not, what would be the "educated guess" of what to use for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devil Dogs SF 13 Posted July 19, 2010 I couldn't find any pics, but I'd guess they used morealess the same equipment as Delta seeing as both are considered 'Elite'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
