Fantastic! Two questions - Why did you decide to come back? And why not make Abrams M1 or M60+ERA too?

Great! Thank you very much for releasing it! But a regular transport with a m.gun and some FFARs would be appreciated too. Actually, I think it would be a good idea to release a UK air pack from your mod some time - not just one version of the Lynx, but maybe also a Gazeele or Wasp as there are no good UK choppers. None. Good luck!

a bit offtop - I have noticed an interesting and rare bug - when you hit a T55A with a JAMed LAW a crash to desktop will occur. Like I said - it's a very rare bug - less than 10%. The same thing happens sometimes when you hit a T55A with 105mm sabot from a recently released M60A1...

So many bugs... so many things that should be corrected... Now I know why I don't like full-conversions. A RIP version is must, apart from bugfixes.

- Phenix missiles should have a HUGE blast radius and a proximity detonator. - I have a strong feeling that your new F-14 cannot land on an aircraft carrier - I think it's the same old bug with automatically retractable gear...

Yes, I agree with Xnodunitx - a desert version and anothe one with ERA for the USMC.

Oh well, make it a "tank" class, no big deal... You guys will get used to it after a few fights anyway. I vote for a tank class if there's no other way.

Are they really? I think they are regular BIS Mp5s, only heavily modified...

Remember the end of Rambo-3 movie? FIA on horses rocks!

I absolutely LOVE it!!! Thank you SO much for this addon! You guys did a outstanding job! On your site I've seen a picture of a Wolverine - just amazing!! (do you think you could release that model too?)

Alright... I didn't have a chance to read your previous posts.

such as...?

Oh, what a shame!! sorry for the offtop Alright, have you seen a preview of the Type 87 recon armored vehicle from Battle of Hokkaido mod? I wonder how they did all those cool things… This unit is clearly a "car" class and yet you can turn out plus some other things which are normally impossible to do on a car class. Maybe it would be a good idea to get in touch with that mod – they could help you finish your LAV-25 pack? I know that right now your LAVs are a "tank" class, and that's just not good at all. Another option is to contact Russian Spetsnaz mod – they did the same thing with their BRDM units.

Alright, does it mean that you will no longer work on this addon? I wouldn't worry about AA not giving you a permission to use their Striker model. You won't need it. The main point of AA is to advertise the US Army, and you will be doing the same thing. Besides, many addonmakes have already used various parts of other games in their addons – from Counter Strike to Soldier of Fortune and Call of Duty, and nobody had any complains. I believe in something I call "Balance of Powers". That means if WEST has M113, EAST should have something similar – MTLB. Now EAST has a BTR-80, and WESTern forces don't even have a basic USMC LAV-25… (Besides the one Sigma made, but it's an early beta) So I hope you guys will be able to finish your Striker. And I don't care if it's "reversed" – maybe it's an export version for the UK?

Here's an interesting scenario for your mod. (IMHO - at least better than PLA vs USMC) The year is 2004, location – Ukraine, a post-Soviet democratic republic. After the recent presidential elections the country is in chaos. One of the candidates is supposedly a pro-Western democrat and liberal, and another candidate gets most of his support from Moscow. He wants to reunite Ukraine and Russia, and create a neo-USSR or whatever. Both candidates promise all sorts of good things to win the elections, but at the end none of them can get enough votes to be the victor. The West of Ukraine supports the liberal candidate, the East votes for a pro-Russian candidate. A civil war begins. Russian forces cross the border and move towards the capital to enforce their new order. Western countries attempt to negotiate, but their appeals are ignored. Ukrainian democrats call for help, and America sends a large peacekeeping force to make sure that Ukraine won't turn into something similar to modern Byelorussia. The USMC units land in the Crimea… The reasons why I think it is a perfect setting for your mod: It's an extremely realistic scenario. Things somewhat similar to what I have described above are happening right now as you are reading this text. Ukraine looks like Everon or Nagova, so there's absolutely no need to make a new island. Since you'll be fighting against The Russian Army, you don't have to make a separate OPFOR pack. Ukrainian Resistance units resemble the original BIS resistance. You can easily use this story to make a small scale conflict or something truly LARGE – because it could be a nice prequel to a virtual World War III – East vs. West.

My God... I am speechless...

You are welcome! Alright, seriously, no one doubts your excellent modeling skills. I have already seen what you can do, and like I said before, I was extremely impressed. Your infantry models look like something Laser would do, and Mykhail Gavrilov a.k.a. Laser is the best infantry maker. The reason I think this USMC mod is dead is that it would be very hard if not impossible to finish it on your own, especially if you still plan to make a full-conversion and your own OPFOR pack. Maybe, just maybe, it would be a good idea to cancel this mod and call yourself… well, something like "USMC addon studio"? Instead of something BIG like a full-conversion mod, you might want to concentrate your efforts on something smaller, like a pack of USMC soldiers or an air pack with some jets and choppers etc. This way you will… A – attract some attention to your mod, and perhaps some experienced modelers and scripters will join you in time B – will be able to actually make and release something in the near future instead of feeding us all with tons of screenshots The last thing – just keep in mind, we LOVE your mod, it pains us greatly that one of your team members will no longer work with you, and something that you call "negative support" is just our way of expressing our grief, that's all.

Without FischKopp the USMC mod is dead... or dying. Release whatever you already have and get it over with. FischKopp - I loved your HMMVs and everything else you did for our favorite game. Good luck in real life!

Thank you very muhc for the news! You guys have two medical bmp in your IFV pack, right? Why not get rid of one and add a btr-d instead?

I don't get it... was talking about Bo-105 chopper

Correct. That's why I like American tanks - they are so much fun to fight against! Â There's also a new RPG "Vampire" - it's a rare thing, but it can desrtoy any Western tank and it doesn't matter where the missile hits - front or back. On the other hand most Soviet and Russain tanks won't stand a chance against 1 on 1 confrontation with M1A1 becasue things like T-64 and T-72 and ever early modifications of T80 have a hard time hitting moving targets. American tanks have much better fire control systems. that's why Russain tanks have those special AT radio or laserguided missiles... Oh, hell, I don't know what I'm talking about. I am not a tank expert like you guys. Miles Teg - I like those pics! And the best thing about them is that one can use the same good old M60 model to make them. No drastic changes required. OFFTOP DKM Jaguar - any news about your ADATS?

I like it a lot, but... Just HOW MANY helos do you ALREADY have ?! It's definitely "an overkill" Why not make some tanks for a change, or APCs or IFVs, or anything else instead of choppers? how many do they have? Â afaik one released (sikorsky s-56?) that's at least what i found on their homepage. so let them work on their helos, i can't have enough... (tiger?!) How many they already have, not how many they have already released Tiger is a great tank buster... (of course, not as good as Mi-28 ) But I doubt that they will make it, and I don't see why they should. IMHO that cool Messerhmit-Belkoff-Blom or whatever its name is has more than enough firepower for any mission. But it's up to them what to make. "the new german APC called Puma or the GTK" hey, I though Puma was an IFV I really like your unit list! Do you think it's realisticly possible that these units you have mentioned will be made?

Is that what project "Smerch" all about? Soviet and Russain MLRS and tactical missiles? Very interesting! Do you think you can actually make it work? There are already two working SCUDS based on the original BIS model, but I don't like at all, the model looks terrible, and scripts as well as "special effects" could be improved... Oh well. You guys don't make "Tochka" or "Smerch", do you?

Hey, I am impressed! I still like the USMC by E&S better than this model, but now I see that you really can make excellent infantry models. Maybe in time your pack will replace E&S marines...

What's that? http://homesoft.no-ip.com/~heliporto/gal/wl/wllynx3.jpg But UK tank buster Lynx has the same targeting systems as the US Ah-64, right?
