I'm new to Arma2 modding and my abilities are limited to textures, like my partner. To go on with out project we need someone capable in modeling but i don't know where/who ask to... Our aim is a pack of russian special forces that started with the release of a retexture of BI Spetsnaz and their new setup with the weapon pack by Vilas. First goal is to represent GRU units; this is a federal agency which kept his "contacts" even after the purges of the nineties that saw even the KGB split in two. GRU remained untouched: as a message... They were born surely during Afghan war as most of the spetsnaz units that stormed Amin' palace were to be the first Alpha, Vympel, Vityaz and GRU members. GRU is one of the best trained elite special force in Russian Federation Armed Forces. It could be compared to Delta Force for the close relationship to the intelligence agency, even if here it's the same "office". As i said now it's just a retexture, as the pack uses the BI models that need more than an overview. We need new models for different uniforms and vests, where we'll have many particulars like knives, pouches, radio. There should also be some differences between an operator and another. GRU units use not only different camouflages, but also more than 2 uniforms: mainly GORKA and KLMK suits, but also KZM and normal BDU in different camouflages. All these should be represented ingame with similar setups as these guys prefer "light luggages" even if they use BTR armoured transports and helos; in particular i noticed they don't use scopes on their weapons. Many AK74M or AS VAL - the main weapons - are used even without Kobra dots... In the future i planned MVD units too and a generic spetsnaz unit as a replacement. MVDs will be the opposite in many ways, but except the "entry team" they are not defined yet. I hope someone will be interested in this project that is airborne already ;)

I didn't know GAZ trucks were still used...

Thanks ;) i'll wait eagerly

Is this thread still opened for templates discussion ? I'm trying to create a CHEDAKI .Psd file to put in my new camouflage. But i don't know how to create the template as RCIR did for spetsnaz and MVD units textures...

I'm more and more impressed by your owrk Alesh...

I missed the BTRs.... ;) AFAIK the T95 was supposed to be a low-profile turret MBT, 3 crew members, with a cannon auto-loading system in the crew-fee turret. That render maybe is more a possible demostration of the collocation of the Arena system...

Love the Kamish pattern Bink! great work...

Love the units in blacks shirts (last pic), GROM ?

Outstanding revolutionary outfit...my compliments :)

Maybe this has been asked before but here it is: is there a possibility to make the "copy" of an existing weapon and shift its placement in the inventory to be used as secondary or heavy weapon ? I thought about it looking at sniper teams with a secondary weapon...

Great work again m8 ! Now get back to KLMK or i'll kick u !! :D

It was moved... Rayers i'll send you a PM.

Same for me man, but i'm not downunder ;) Update incoming next week :)

I'm really looking forward to your Polish forces ;) Good luck

Good pics Zoldat, but keep in mind that three of those you posted were taken, as i'm used to say: "just out of the factory". The AN-94 is used just against targets and then goes back in armoury. The last one is from a fair in moscow last year if i'm not wrong... About preferences you don't know who you're talking to, so better quit about stereotypes...

@AKM: I was speaking in general, btw thanks for support ;) Hey what you said about Vilas pack ?! that's my choice! :D

Too often "darken" would mean a rifle "to look newer". The results are Robert Hammer AKs. I definitely prefer Vilas' look. About the PKP i remember the photograph you posted here but i wouldn't call it a "failure". I'll skip my comments about your knowledge of this stuff...

Thanks Pete, btw these are not MVD :D (at least STILL not...)

Black Sea Fleet ready to kick your a**! :D

I spoke with Massi yesterday about the replacement pack for BI Spetsnaz and he's positive :) Here's a little preview of what to come Work is going on for 1.1 ;) P.S. HERE you can find the link for a discussion i started. It's a help request The team needs a modeler. We can't go on forever just with textures. As a first step is great as you can have your units ingame and search for gameplay adjustements and so on, but they can't be final... I hope someone will join us ;)

Yes, i thought about it... As now i can say another guys joined for a brief help with textures for a BDU update. Maybe we'll go on differently by everybody else but still goin' :D

awesome... Will be available as position ?

Very kind as always Vilas, i'll have a look ;)

Sorry Vilas, but not at all of them... For example there's no AK74M with Collimator, or PK-A. AEK 973 lines are not working. It wouldn't be a real problem, but these weapons (i don't remember the others) are missing in Ammo Boxes too... :)
