    RHS Escalation (AFRF and USAF)

    REFORGER88 replied to soul_assassin's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE

    This. A thousand times this. I was trying to make missions with USMC gunships at first, then using the Apache sans radar as a stand in for the classic Cold War AH-64, and was baffled as to my inability to use ATGMs accurately. Then when I tried to get the AI gunner to lock the laser and then target a vic, I pulled my hair out at the AI's inability to put the crosshairs directly on those dirty Commie tanks. Real bummer.

    Task Force Arrowhead Radio

    REFORGER88 replied to nkey's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE

    Just a question regarding the mod and vanilla campaign. One of the campaign missions in Adapt requires a generic short range radio, but every time I pick one up from the supply room, it magically turns into a tfar AN/PRC in my inventory and I'm unable to start the mission. Is there any fix to this, or does the mod just generally break the campaign? Thanks in advance for any help rendered!

    ASTPAT seems to be a fairly interesting and unique pattern, and as far as Arma 3 goes it is unique amongst the camouflage in-game. I don't think the fact that Canada and Estonia, two less-than-popular nations represented in any kind of media let alone video games, use some kind of green digital camouflage disqualifies ASTPAT from being original.

    CSLA Studio - A3 WIP

    REFORGER88 replied to EMSI's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION

    Ah, well the more the merrier. And if it includes some lesser-showcased Cold War vehicles, even better. I'm watching this mod with baited breath, there's just so much Cold War goodness! The only thing that could make it better is if it included an honest to god AH-1S or F. CWR2 had it back in Arma 2, but I never got into the modding scene in Arma 2. A real deal Cobra in Arma 3 would be perfect.

    Cold War US Army Loadout Question

    REFORGER88 replied to REFORGER88's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL

    That's the dilemma, too many mods lol. I hope Conflict '85 includes a new M16 model, or I'll be stuck waiting til CSLA releases theirs, which seems to include a new A2 model. So far, CUP doesn't a have a very satisfactory M16A2 model, or reload animations, and I'm stuck going to either RH M16s or Unsung, neither of which are on Steam. Oh, the humanity.

    Hi all, I'm new to the forums but I have been playing for a while now, with a special interest in the Cold War era. I came here hoping for some assistance on a question that has been bothering me. I have something of my own personal headcanon for the events of the Armaverse, and I wanted to start making missions that take place during the Cold War. The timeline I've worked up involves a conflict between the US Army's 193rd Infantry Brigade and the Soviet 2nd Guards Motor Rifles in the year 1988. Now, I know that the M16A2 was phased into US Army service in 1985-6, but I was wondering about the feasibility of equipping my US Army infantry assets with M16A1s. I have the RH M16 pack with its well-textured and modeled M16A2s, but I recently downloaded Unsung to see the variety of Cold War assets I could translate into the 1980s setting. The M16A1 model they have is quite exquisite, and the selection of Cold War vehicles, aircraft in particular, is also very interesting. I wanted to know see if I could get some input as to what model of M16 I should use, because I can't decide. For anyone who takes the time to read this and comment, thank you very much in advance!

    Cold War US Army loadout question

    REFORGER88 replied to REFORGER88's topic in ARMA 3 - USER MISSIONS

    This is a particularly interesting note. I actually have an old copy of the no-shit Team Yankee graphic novel, with all the gloriously accurate lingo and illustrations included, and it even has notes between chapters about the weaponry and tactics of both the US and Soviets during the Cold War. That has to be my hands-down favorite graphic novel that I own. It's amazing what you get when you have a writer and illustrator both interested in accurately portraying all the technical details in the military equipment and story in general.

    CSLA Studio - A3 WIP

    REFORGER88 replied to EMSI's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION

    Very excited for this. I've been piecing together Cold War missions with mods like RHS, US military mod and Unsung, but this will be great to make missions I can release without requiring a million different dependencies! Just a quick question if anyone can answer, what exactly is the Midland Coalition that the AFMC represents? I couldn't find any information on it. Also, very excited to get a proper US M60A3 MBT so I can stop using the Turkish military mod for theirs haha!

    Cold War US Army loadout question

    REFORGER88 replied to REFORGER88's topic in ARMA 3 - USER MISSIONS

    I'd love a good Cold War BAF mod. I really dig the British armor from that period, the Chieftain is a real beast.

    Cold War US Army loadout question

    REFORGER88 replied to REFORGER88's topic in ARMA 3 - USER MISSIONS

    My MOS is 13M so we operate the HIMARS, the LMTV-based successor to the M270 MLRS. I got to work with the 270 back in AIT, and the unit I'm with now used to operate the M110 and M110A2 until they phased them out with the introduction of HIMARS. We actually have one of the old M110A2s still around on display, and I really love those old Self-Propelled Guns. I'm also desperately in need of a West German military mod, and can't wait for the one in the works to come out. If you're into RTS style games, Wargame Airland Battle is probably the most in-depth and realistic portrayal of Cold War strategy and includes multiple NATO militaries from West Germany to the Scandinavian militaries, and Warsaw Pact countries, from the 70s into the late 80s. And yeah, I have an old copy of "Red Storm Rising" in my bookshelf. It's one of my favorites!

    I second this! A higher quality m16a2 would be a welcome sight.

    Cold War US Army Loadout Question

    Yeah, I've been paying attention to the development of Conflict '85 too. I appreciate the help!

    Cold War US Army loadout question

    REFORGER88 replied to REFORGER88's topic in ARMA 3 - USER MISSIONS

    I can't thank you enough! I really appreciate it, and it's great to hear from an actual Cold War vet with experience on the subject. I definitely understand how long it can take the Army to transition weapons platforms on a unit scale, my FA unit is just this year phasing out our M16A2s and receiving M4s. Thanks again for your service, and the help in this matter!
  15. REFORGER88
    I couldn't tell you! I'm enlisted field artillery, not a tanker, and my service doesn't go back quite that far xD
  16. REFORGER88
    Many thanks! I actually meant the M60 Patton MBT, but I do use the M60 for making Cold War units! I am excited for the M1IP, and the MERDC camo is something I've been dying to see in Arma 3 for a while!
  17. REFORGER88
    New to the forum, but just wanted to say I'm really excited that the Bundeswehr has some very high quality equipment. The level of detail on the equipment you released is just astounding!

    German Armed Forces Mod

    REFORGER88 replied to GalComT's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION

    New to the forums, but I've been a Cold War nerd for a while, and I'm very interested in the equipment of the West German Army. It's nice to see that the classic Bundeswehr is going to be represented in Arma 3. I've been dying for the lack of MAN KAT trucks haha!

    RHS Escalation (AFRF and USAF)

    REFORGER88 replied to soul_assassin's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE

    New to the forums, but I'm super psyched this mod is on Steam now, and I'm really liking the inclusion of PASGT gear and German equipment as well. The Cold War nerd in me is loving it.

    New to the forums, but I've been playing Arma 3 for a long while now, and I've been keeping an eye on this mod for a while as well. I'm very excited for the assets you're working on! Don't give up hope! I really want to see how this one turns out.

    REFORGER88 replied to max power's topic in ARMA 3 - USER MISSIONS

    New to the forums, can't wait to see what I can learn here to improve my mission making.
  22. REFORGER88
    New to the forums, but I've been interested in the Cold War and military history in general for a while, and I've enjoyed making Cold War missions. I can't wait for the new options this will open up for mission making lol. I'd die for a proper M60A3 though, I'm tired of using the ones from the Turkish Armed Forces mod haha.
