I doubt it's clever to use one of those things in a crowded airport.<span id='postcolor'> Now, if you are such a gun person you should know thats the job the LSW is designed for. it is a superb weapon for use in a built-up enviroment where accuracy and range are key. its in the "fire support" role that it struggles. and you'd not want someone laying down supressing fire in a crowded airport now would you.

yeah, we're getting there. honest

I don't think that they have any APC's at Heathrow ... the Armoured Vehicles are Scimitar Armoured Recconaissance Vehicles (Scimitar CVR(T)). And i would be very surprised if they "left" them anywhere a Rocket Toting Terrorist could get at them (the RPG not being the easiest weapon in the work to conceal). The Danger does come from terrorists with SAMs around the airport .. but they have changed the flighpath for the jets coming into Heathrow (its oddly quiet around here without them)

Well for one thing they aren't "tanks" per se. they are Scimitar Recconaissance Vehicles from the HCR so maybe they are a little more useful for sitting and watching for stuff. And as for "scrubland" they have closed down Windsor Great Park (about 2 mins from where i live) and the place is absolutely crawling with police (not just Thames Valley, who are the local force ... i've seen Metropolitan and Surrey police). They have vans or patrol cars on every major junction, loads of Foot Patrols in town and they mounted Vehicle Checkpoints by all the motorway junctions round here. Also there are more Armed police than i have ever seen before. The army deploying to Heathrow isn't a "new" thing either ... its one of the reasons they are kept at windsor .. i think they did it pretty regularly during the 80s/90s when PIRA made threats against the airport.

Looks like US Woodland to me (same as both the screens) just the photo is more "faded"

Excellent news. looks like a good start too. nice one

Uh oh. NASA was afraid this one might be a Terrorist target as well (because of the Isreali astronaught) .. but surely you can't target something at 200,000 ft? .. this has to be an accident.

The basic unit is the company, commanded by a captain  100 men = 2 platoons = 4 sections = 8 squads A company has the following officers (commissioned and non-coms):  Captain (1), 1st. Lieut. (1),  2nd. Lieut. (1)  1st Sgt. (1), Sgts. (4) and Corporals (8). When the company was divided into platoons, the captain commanded one and the 1st Lt. the other.  There was a sergeant for each section, and a corporal for each squad.  The 1st Sgt. "ran" the whole company. BATTALION and REGIMENT.  Battalions and regiments were formed by organizing companies together. In the volunteers (Union and Confederate), 10 companies would be organized together into a regiment.  The regiment was commanded by a colonel. A regiment has the following staff (one of each):  Col.; Lt. Col.; Major; Adjutant (1st Lt); Surgeon (maj.);  Asst Surgeon (capt.); Quartermaster (lieut); Commissary (lieut);  Sgt-Major; Quartermaster Sgt. There were also volunteer organizations containing less than 10 companies: if they contained from 4-8 companies, they were called battalions, and usually were commanded by a major or lieutenant colonel.  The (Union) Regular regts organized before the war (1st-10th) were 10 company regiments like the volunteers.  When the NEW Regular regts. were authorized, a different organization was used. The new Regular regts were organized 8 companies to a battalion and 2 battalions to the regiment. Thus new Regular regts contained 16 companies.  These regiments frequently fought as battalions rather than as single regiments.  However, often the 2nd battalion could not be recruited up to strength, in which case they fought as a single regiment. <span id='postcolor'> By the end of the war the average size of a *battalion* was around 300-400 men

from http://west.flashpoint.ru/ Some Alpha Spetznaz to download. you may need to login to get the files tho. Pretty good, althought some glitches on the models themselves.

was the AR-180 not based on the FN-FAL .. the British army used a version of the FAL (called the SLR) before they adopted the SA-80. a non-bullpup sa80 wouldn't make a lot of sense...

outstanding Glad to see you back in the world of OFP addon making too. (if you ever fancy doing some brit helos be sure to let us know )

I Do, but you should probably check out This Thread.

@Avon they are in the Weapons bay, You have to open the bay doors.

you know, i thought Drakken had gone awfully quiet after that superb Littlebird. still guess i know why now :-) Excellent work, looking forward to this one.

Good News. look forward to seeing some more screenshots.

Marcel (Mars911) is working with the Invasion '44 team now i believe. And the chaps at the World War II Engineer Centre seem to be a similar loose confederation of ww2 addon makers.

During linebacker II B-52 gunners were credited with two confirmed MiG kills. (Fifteen B-52s were lost during this operation.)

Sarugo Island Exceptional work. Right up there with Nogova in my most played.

they have a site @ http://www.lwp.of.pl/ but the last entry is </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">As you can see, our webpage wasn't actualized for a very long time. Our jobs, families and school duties (read: a lack of time), lack of motivation, OFP's engine restrictions, earlier - lack of tools, and almost no collaboration betweet team members - all these factors forced us to cancel works on LWP MOD. You can be sure that you'll never receive this MOD in the shape we designed it earlier. It's simply impossible. Feel free to post any comments, ideas how to reanimate the MOD, or just complains on our Forum. PS.: I'll release Mi-2 as stand-alone add-on later (it's still not completed).

Dont panic. it will be small packs roughly along the lines of the buttons. We know do know that its a lot. But its always good to have a plan

Project: UK Forces has a new home. Courtesy of those lovely people at BAS. Who have kindly agreed to host our addons and give us the necessary technical support and encouragement we are now at http://www.concept-5.com/ukforces/ and have nice new webpage courtesy of Jonno. There are some new screenshots, and some more detailed plans. So please come and have a look. Cheers Vade_101
