vektorboson, perhaps you could see about getting the M-48 tank from the S. Korean mod... good for US reserve forces of the period and I believe W. Germany used them as well.

does anyone have this on a more reliable server? i really want to download the 1979 mod but i cant seem to get any of the chinese servers to let me download it.

does this update include the 1970's/80's era PLA troops i saw pics of on OFP.info a while back?

another great release, shadow. reminds me of this, however... Russia Reiterates Zero-Tolerance Policy For Terrorists, Hostages

did you guys ever finish that elephant? the new savanah tonal would make for some good anti-poaching missions.

the reece guys and G85's editor upgrade.. when do we get appropriate forums?

alpha or no.. i would like to give this map a try. i am interested in seeing a realistic airbase for ofp... the unfinished nature of the surrounding countryside wont bother me much.

I miss the bridge at lorengau pass... if you knew how many times i "lased" that bridge for my air support to destroy....

oddly enough, i was thinking to myself earlier today that with the release of tonal, the RHS stuff and CSLA most of the stuff i had been waiting for is out.. I was only awaiting I44 and Falklands.. sorry you guys wont get to finish, but thanks for releasing what has been done.

dropping the bmd with the crew inside proved to be a little rough on the crew to be practical.

there are some decent North Korean units hidden in Zerg's korean army pack.

Fuck Yes!!! This makes my month!! I have been waiting for those VDV guys and the BTR since i saw those screens years ago. Thank you!!

you might want to look into changing the textures on those tents.. I dont think the US issues tents in WWII German splinter pattern camo.

Try using a base for your wrinkle textures.. I made these 6 color desert BDUs using the PSDs included in the Jon_Doe kit. It takes a while to figure out exactly what lighting , saturation, and transparency settings you need..but these dont look too bad: Dont forget Photoshops shadow settings.The pockets on the vest are drawn by hand with effects added by photoshop: Google is a good source for pictures you can use to add detail objects, the body armour on this "desert one" Delta is taken directly from a web site: as was this shemagh: If you want I can send you the PSDs with all the layers for the 6 color stuff so you can see how i did it. Drop me a PM if you're interested.

OFPCAT's units are afghan war units right? I dont recall, but if so they should be wearing either M69 uniforms or the 6- pocket M81 uniform (alot of afghan pics show soviet troops wearing a mixture of both). I dont know much about the specifics of the sino soviet border war, but i am going to assume that with the best soviet units stationed in europe, the soviet units involved would be secondary troops and border guards, and probably not equiped with the latest gear. M43 uniforms would be the most correct. If the libmod units are used  they would need the shoulder boards changed to post-war insignia..but thats about it. m43 : m69: m81:  i am looking forward to seeing some of the Chinese troops. I would recommend the green Mao-style uniform and cap. small arms would most likely be the type 56(sks), type 50(ppsh), type 68(vilas mod has one),or type 56(AK)

yo...where is that vulcan from? does it come in desert?

as far as the soviet troops are concerned, perhaps hou can use the libmod troops? soviet soldiers in the '60s were still wearing the m43 uniforms..just replace the nagant pouch with a ak or sks pouch.. most of the other gear is the same.

I couldnt think of any other logical place to put them other than the baltic.

here is a history of nogova i wrote a while back and posted in the NAFP thread. I intended it to clear up all the questions about nogova..like why do some of the towns have french names yet everyone on the island is czech? There was some debate about whether nogova should have any abundant natural resource such as oil..i put it there to give a reason behind the soviet invasion...but it could just as likely have been a purely political invasion, ala czechoslovakia or hungary. on my old hard drive i had some Peoples Republic of Nogova soldiers i had made by retexturing the CSLA troops in Edge's nogova Oak camo. they were armed with SA.58 assault rifles and UK.59 machine guns, as well as some fictional variants i had made, such as a SA.58 with PALLAD grenade launcher and a RPK-type SA.58. I also made some Nogovan Patriotic Guard troops, retextured from the nogova policeman: milita/reserve units armed with Vz.52/57 rifles and Sa.26 smg's. heres the history: "The Malden island chain is located in the Baltic Sea, directly west of Lithuania and the Russian territory of Kaliningrad and north of Poland. The chain consists of 4 main islands : Nogova,Everon,Malden and Kolugyjev. Mostly forrest and gentle hills with some mountainous terrain on the largest island, Nogova. The history of the island chain is somewhat checkered as the islands have shifted hands a number of times in the last 200 years.Their modern history begins when the lightly populated islands are claimed by Napoleon Bonaparte in his eastward drive.After the end of the Napoleonic Wars the islands are divied up, France retaining Everon and Malden and Nogova and Kolugyjev being annexed by Prussia. Being the only European possesions outside of France retained after Napoleon's defeat the islands are settled by the French during the 19th century. The influx of French settlers quickly absorbs the native population of Maldeners. The islands agriculture and fishing based economy never turns out the kind of profit the settlers had hoped for however and by the end of the 1800's most of the population has drifted back to France, leaving an even smaller population than before. The islands of Kolugyjev and Nogova are never really exploited by Prussia, and w/ the exception of a small naval station on Nogova the remain much as they were before. The end of the first world war brings a change to the islands as Germany is required to relinquish Nogova and Kolugyjev as part of the Versailles treaty. The ultimate fate of the islands is in question as the former Entente members bicker over who will take possession of the 2 islands. The solution came as part of the Treaty of St. Germain and the creation of the Republic of Czechoslovakia in 1919. The island of Nogova was given to Czechoslovakia and Kolugyjev was given to the newly indepent nation of Lithuania. Nogova was agressively settled by Czechoslovakia during the interwar (1920-1937) period as an example of cooperation between the Czech and Slovak peoples. In 1938 France and England sought to avoid war with Germany by signing the Munich agreement which ceded parts of Czechoslovakia which Hitler claimed to be traditionaly German to Germany. Due to its brief stint as a German Baltic sea base, the island of Nogova was included in the territories annexed. When Lithuania became part of the Soviet Union in 1940 the island of Kolugyjev came with her. The Malden Islands fared relatively well during WW2. The islands of Everon and Malden were seized from France after Germany invaded.The campaign to take the islands was bloodless and they were occupied without incident until Germany surrendered in 1945. Nogova saw the construction of a small airstrip on one of its small northern islets to serve as a base for Luftwaffe maritime patrol planes and as a stopover for planes flying supplies to Finland. Kolugyjev was taken from its small Soviet garrison by German Paratroopers after a short but sharp fight. It was the sight of some flak batteries and a garrison of Luftwaffe ground troops placed to stop a Soviet counterattack which never materialized. After WW2 France made a gift of the islands of Everon and Malden to the newly reconstituted Republic of Czechoslovakia in the way of reparations for the disasterous Munich Agreement. In 1948 the "Third Republic" ends and Czechoslovakia becomes a communist sattelite of the USSR. In 1950 Stalin declares the island of Kolugyjev to be a military zone. The population is "relocated" to the interior of Russia and the island is fully militarized, housing several bases, a testing range and the Soviet Baltic Fleet Amphibious Warfare School. In 1971 the Czech economy is still reeling from three decades of communism and the after effects of the 1968 Soviet invasion. Unable to meet the costs of maintaining a non-contiguous territory hundreds of miles away, the Czechoslovakian govt. turns the islands over to self rule. The Peoples Republic of Nogova is born. The PRN consists of the three islands of Nogova, Everon and Malden. In 1975 offshore oil deposits are discovered in Nogovan territorial waters. A member of the Warsaw Pact, Nogovas main trading partners are Czechoslovakia, the USSR and Poland. Nogovan oil accounts for 20 percent of all oil imported by both CZ and Poland. The prosperous Nogovan economy coupled with Communist oppression leads to demands for democratic reforms in the early 1980s. Following a crisis in the Nogovan Assembly Soviet troops invaded the islands in an atempt to restore communist control. This touched off the conflict that would come to be known as the Cold War Crisis."

i will say that zergs mod looks great!! also he's making two of my most wanted addons: M-48 Patton and M-67 Recoilless rifle.

haha ...maybe i should learn to read.

I dont think you can put "zasleh" on Launcher type weapons.

that site has a textured firefox model for download...perhaps someone could work on converting it to OFP.......

I lost this when my old HD crashed, and the link on the Spetsnaz site is not working... Does anyone have a link to this or can send it to me?

i'm going to top this again to see if anyone has dug this up.
