Sorry, i never saw this message. We haven't really got much news at the moment because i have as well as others in our team been busy with exams etc. But internally we are on our 5th Beta of the Iraqi soldiers and after this week things should start to get back again with the following release of the Iraqi soldiers teaser. Also the site is being updated too and we have now deceided to only be making the Iraqi side like the FDF mod has done. But we may work on a few Kuwaiti units but just use a lot of addons for the west which have already been done or are planning to be made and these will be used in our campaigns and missions.

Have seen the pics - looks very good from what i can see of it!

The Owen Mk 1 is an Aussie weapon as this website below points out: Aussie Guns Here is a pic: Pic 64-3 + 64-4 are Owen Mk I's:

We haven't been working on this because the Iraqi men have been out priority. Will be going back onto this at some point tho.

Col. Klink's tutorial on the Hawk missile is here: Tutorial

You can start to post all this in the IM:UC topic now seeing as your with us IM:UC Topic

Here is a nice lil teaser for you: Republican Guard - Under Fire To check out the rest of the screenshots go to our forum at: IM:UC Forum More soon

You might want to check out this excellent site on Russian/Soviet uniforms of the army, navy and airforce: Russian / Soviet Uniform Site This particular page has two versions of the KLMK as one piece suit and also a two piece version. It has the KMZ too as well as many others. I would check this out is really good!

Since that pic was taken we have put more detail in the model etc. as there were some inaccuracies. Got a mine plough version as well and these will be our next target once the Iraqi men have been done.

Sorry its been awhile - is progressing slowly. Have got our next version of the Iraqi troops done and are been prepared for a release as a teaser again. Will get some pics sorted soon am very busy working at the moment.

No the SKS isn't one of the weapons we will be using. I think that there may have been the odd one used by soldiers or civilians because i have photos of German WW2 Kar rifles or something similar used by soldiers. But thx for offering we won't be needing that

Am making my own set for the Iraqis - it gives me something to do There are about 19 weapons used by the Iraqis and once i have done the models i can't msg you about texturing them. A lot of the weapons are just variants of say the AK-47 etc. Shouldn't be too hard but enough to give a good variety for the Iraqis

Yeah thats right - i have pics of the Iraqi mine laying tug boat - was captured in the latest Iraqi war. So i have pics of the boat itself and the anti-ship mines. About the missile boat - will be making the russian OSA-II class missile boat as they were used by Iraq and look cool. Yeah civlian arabs will be coming but all in good time

Yeah they did but was very small compared to the army and airforce - will be doing a partol boat and a missile boat for part of the campaign. But in the two gulf wars - hardly much happened on the navy side for Iraq

Yeah they are updated ones with bugs fixed - still need a little tweaking before release. When the complete pack of Iraqi men is done it will feature fedayeen, republican guard in many camo's, republican guard military police, airforce, some navy if we can find images of any personnel but thats quite hard to find. But there will be a wide range to choose from. Thats a long way off so will be releasing this infantry teaser update pack to keep you amused for some middle east missions. Thx for the comment tho.

Yes thats right - we aren't going along the same road as OPGWC and have our own different objectives - this was made clear right at the start when we first started up and OPGWC had asked about this.

Not sure if this website is of any help SASR Sabre - but i thought it had some interesting angles on pics of the SA80 SA80

Nah we aren't doing any Kurds  purely cause we are concentrating on the Iraqi army from Baghdad down to Kuwait. But it would have been cool to have the Kurd fighters

I am not sure that is a mission - The Frenchman was just doing some photography. Yeah i know what you mean about the heavy body armour i have a pics of the armour itself used by the Iraqis. They will be added at a later date though.

No you can't make depressions as fas as i know - but i am going to see how it looks in-game and see if it doesn't stick out too much.

Yeah thats a great idea - go for it would like to see them used in a good mission. Will be planning to make a mission to go with the Iraqi soldiers on Nogova but that will be a pretty basic one compared to the one you have thought of.

Actually, Iraq did not have any A-50 aircraft at all. They did however attempt to convert a small number of Il-76's into AWACS aircraft. One design was a failure, the other, called the Adnan, produced at least three functional Adnan's. One was destroyed in the first Gulf War, one was still beleived to be in Iraqi hands during the second Gulf War, and the thirds whereabouts was unknown. Possibly defecting to Iran as with so many other Iraqi aircraft during the first Gulf War. Yeah there was the Adnan I and the Baghdad I which were both Il-76 converted AWACS And what do you think the A-50 Mainstay is? Yup... its a converted (some in the factory, some in re-fits) Il-76 Candid State the obvious! An aircraft is just the shell of any AWACS system. The content that makes the difference is the systems, which is the difference between the Iraqi Il-76 based AWACS aircraft and the Russian/Soviet Il-76 based aircraft. The A-50 AWACS system was purposely designed, with the backing of the soviet war machine. The Iraqi attempt was home grown. They could have simply adapted a few of their dozens of Il-76's to A-50 standards, using Russian equipment. Instead they chose to develop their own system (From memory, one of the designs was using an existing Radar system that was not intended for the AWACS role, possibly from old Mirage aircraft.) rather than following the beaten track. A truly commendable technical achievement. Nice progress with the mod by the way. Oh i see and thx Should have a new version of the Iraqi infantry out soon enough with the bugs fixed, improved models and textures.

Got an update for Baghdad objects:

The mod campaign will take place in 1998 or sometime around then. We are going to try and make it as best as we can. @ DeadMeatXM2 - i was only reinforcing what ozanzac had said. Wasn't trying to better him or anything like that

Just to say we now have a new website address here: IM:UC Site There is a link to a new forum too!!
