    Many of the variants shown on that picture are still in experimental stage. The version with the 105mm cannon for example has tons of problems and may never become operational unless they replace the cannon with one that has lower recoil such as something like the 100mm low recoil cannon seen on the BMP3.

    Actually, most of the versions of the Stryker are now operational. Hell I have video of the TOW carrier version launching TOWs in Iraq. The M1128 MGS has begun LRIP, and has been in production for like over half a year now with 72 of them being produced this fiscal year alone. According to the Pentagon and the Army most of the problems with the MGS have been resolved, how true that is, I have no clue.

    This mod is why I still play OFP. Thanks, guys. If anyone plays this mod with Frenchpoint stuff I have a handful of missions I'm working on based (loosely) on the French assistance to Tchad during the war. If there's interest I can post them.

    I'd be very interested in playing those missions

    I edit all the configs on my unit addons so they use the weapons in this pack. I miss some M16a4 M203 with scopes, though. And camoversions of the M4 m203's?

    It's actually not that hard to do, I added sights to the M-16A4/M203, along with the camo versions of the M4/M203's, of course I did this for personal use, and managed to get them to work properly thanks to the help of Jackal via PM. Thanks again Jackal! Love your pack man!

    actually static ships like the one you're building could be used for much more than just cutscenes. For instance a starting/refueling point in sp-missions or as a respawn-base in multiplayer. And as far as I know such ships aren't driving when they are executing a landing operation anyway.

    A stationary carrier?

    A great way of having a shot at sinking a $500.000.000 vessel.

    Carriers are always on the move, that is what makes carrierlandings so difficult.

    Aircraft carriers are on the move so that wind is produced over the deck, it assists a/c with producing lift, and with the speed an a/c has to hit the deck at. It is also difficult to land on a carrier because the deck is angled, and lets not forget that the ship can and does pitch and roll especially in rough seas.

    By the way Marines curently use these things here:

    DPV (Desert Patrol Vehicle)

    HMMWV (High Mobile Multipupose Wheeled Vehicle)

    LAV-25

    M6 Bradley Linbacker

    M1A2

    F/A 18 Hornet

    HH-60H Seahawk

    AH-Super Cobra (I think the 1Z version)

    AAV (Amphibious Assault Vehicle)

    Thats just to name the basic things at our disposal.

    Now when talking about Specific units and regions.....thats a differnt story. For example I forget which Expeditionary Unit uses the Hovercraft for beach assaults.

    I can give the fully monty if you'd like, Just ley me know.

    The Marines do not use the M1A2, nor the M6 Bardley Linebacker, or HH-60H Seahawk (the only Blackhawks in svc with the Marine Corps are the VH-60's assigned to HMX-1). The M-14's the Marine Corps has taken out of storage has been accuarized by the armory at Q-town that builds the M-40A3's, and hence it is the DMR. Well actually there are two versions of the DMR in the USMC inventory. The M-14 DMR is mostly confined to 2nd MarDiv, but it is slowly making its way to West Coast units as more become available. In the mean time the West Coast units were slapping a bi-pod, and an ACOG sight on M-16A4's and giving a rifleman within the squad some additional training to employ the A4 more accurately. As I said, as more M-14 DMR's are becoming available they will also be heading out west. Unfortunately the armory at Q-town is rather small, and they can only produce so many, as they are taking in M-40A1's and converting them to M-40A3's.
