Great to see you back Sabre, will make good use of the P-61, looks and flys great!

Brilliant! So glad to see FOW get an update. (Very happy the bullet crack sounds were removed also as they took over the base game sound.)

Thank you for your work!

Steven, do you know what the major differences between this one, and the "1.3" version also just released by "tacticool larper" - ?

How large are you making this terrain in Enfusion? I've been wanting to do Oahu but it's pretty big compared to most ARMA terrains.

The 9th Air Commando Group has recently finished our Alt-History WW2 Campaign "1947", fighting agaisnt the Red Army in Germany after the fall of Berlin.

Hey Snake, love the work you are doing on the XL terrains.

Do you have plans to populate some of the maps with buildings down the road or do you consider these in a finished state? Similar to your large desert terrain.

It would make air assault missions pretty interesting as transport from one side of the map to the other side to assault a specified populated area would be a unique dynamic. More requirements for logistics, refueling, fobs, etc.

Thanks

Jove, got a couple questions:

- Were you going to separate the female heads into a different mod? I know you had asked opinions on it in the past.

- Do these heads have different identity groups, like "toh_spanish_heads" or something like that?

Hi there, the brit mercs were based off a certain movie from the 70s. So that's the look I was going for. 😕

I am working on a separate blufor mod with additional dependencies (unfortunately). South Africa and Rhodesia are among the list of factions im doing for that one.

Well I think we all accept the prediction marker as an acceptable limitation of the game, it's just how the bomb sight works in ARMA. I was just mentioning that you used to have this and then removed it. No worries.

Hi Sab,

I wanted to inquire about the bomb dropping method on the heavy bombers. Currently there is only one option to release all the bombs, but in the past you've allowed selections such as drop 1 bomb, drop 3 bombs, etc.

The ability to drop a limited amount of bombs is historically accurate on the B-17 for example, the bombardier had a device with a dial that selected how many bombs would be released. Are there plans to re-implement this feature?

Thank you.

Very cool, will be great to have a usable carrier to transport all those navy planes.

February 26, 2022

Sab, immense thanks for adding the P-40. My all time favorite warbird, I'll definitely be cranking out the skins for that one!

January 31, 2022

The nose on his model does seem a bit off, good catch.

January 30, 2022

I don't know if this is of any use for you, but here is a shot of the P-40 from War Thunder. Not the most accurate game by far, but might be a decent reference to help with your issue?

And then looking at helijah's model. Would it be possible to move the pilot up in the cockpit so you can see over the cowl, or raise the gunsight to accommodate if the pilot needs to sit lower?

I'm sure you've looked at all this, just thought i'd try to help.

January 28, 2022

With the P-40, are you referring to the iron sights that are offset to the right? Those were not on every model P-40 and could be replaced with just the standard reflector sight if that would solve the issue?

January 24, 2022

B-17 and A-26 are looking and flying very nicely so far!

9th Air Commando Group - Cold War Factions is a lightweight CUP, CWRIII, and SOGPF dependent modification which adds a number of Opfor factions from the Cold War Period. Most of these factions have been well researched and are created as historically accurate as possible within the restrictions of the base mods.
Several reskins are included. All factions are ALIVE compatible. The purpose of this mod is to allow the members of the 9th Air Commando Group to experience a more diverse selection of enemy forces. If you are interested in experiencing these conflicts and fighting against these factions in a multiplayer environment, please consider joining the 9th Air Commando Group: https://discord.gg/RJcCzvN

This mod adds the following Opfor factions:

1950s
North Korea
Soviet Army
Soviet VDV

1960s
Soviet Army
Cuban Revolutionary Forces

1970s
Armed European Civilians
Soviet Army
North Korea
Spanish Army
Zimbabwe Liberation Army

1980s
Central African Rebels
South American Cartel
Panama Defense Forces
Grenada Revolutionary Army

1990s
Iraqi Army

These factions have been tested with CWRIII, CUP, SOGPF, Alive, and ACE and work as designed.
Additional factions are planned for the future. If anyone has any suggestions on additional factions to add (that are not already covered in SOGPF or CWRIII) please feel free to request, we are interested in new ideas.
Hope you enjoy.

Some of the factions:

An A-26 and a P-40! You are the man!

P-51 interior would probably suffice for the P-40 & P-38, and perhaps the Mosquito cockpit for the A-26?

January 9, 2022

Thanks for adding in the B-17, with an interior! Great work so far Sab.

January 6, 2022

Still excited for these! Hope you get your ARMA mojo back.

August 1, 2021

Looking forward to the new update!

This sounds exciting, ARMA needs a good F-5!

I would be happy to help out with texturing if you have a base template developed. Please let me know if you would like any assistance.

Regardless, I've searched the sources I know and pulled the best photos I could find regarding the F-5 Tiger.

For me, the most iconic look for the F-5 Tiger is that when it was first used in the Vietnam War and it had the classic SEA "South East Asia" Camouflage pattern. Both used by the USAF, and South Vietnamese Air Force.
Pictures of SEA Camo below. (Some of these are from the game DCS, and some of these are models. Not many good images of SEA F-5s publicly available)

South Vietnamese F-5 in SEA Camo - Both USAF and South VIetnam used SEA camo, note the South Vietnamese flag and AIr Force Roundel.

2-Seater (T-28) - SEA Camo

SEA Camo

Prior and also during the Vietnam War, the F-5 would have been presented in a gray or bare metal variety. The first F-5s made would have been of this type. Photos below.
This type of finish was very classic for 1960s fighter jets.

Bare Metal with black nose paint

After Vietnam the F-5 was used in a variety of roles. Some shots of the F-5 during the 1980s in various camouflage patterns. Used by the US Air Force, Marines, and Navy.
