    Zeitgeist: Moving Forward | Official Trailer-

    Oh you gotta love this! This documentairy is as legit as the ones showed before IMO Why would you need a nuclear detenation? Slamming 247 tonnes of airplane in a building and leave it burning will do the job. The world is boring, accept it, no big hollywood conspiracies, no UFOs, no nuclear detenations without huges amounts of radiation. Just some religious nutscases got on a plane and did something nobody thought of yet. Now that is what I think happend.. What do you think what happend? What is that "bit" more the general population needs to know about?

    AC-130 Script for ARMA2 (0.3)

    When you use it in complicated missions it will stutter, try to lower viewdistance. Chernarus is being hard on this addon.
  3. We just begun phasing in the new Colt so the HK416 is just for the KCT for now, the HK417 will (maybe) replace the AI.AWM with the Infantry. Hope the HK416 will replace the Colt soon though, the C7A2 is just a cosmetic update and the HK416 is a real leap forward in gun technology. Its wierd they equip the whole army with the new model, could have just equiped the manouvre elements, they are the only ones who really use them. They had a pretty nice C7A2/C8A2 prototype but most of the neat features got canceled too save money. I agree we have a good armed force and within the armed force there is a real fighting spirit, its just being supressed by insane ROE's time and time again. As you said, no fighting spirit in the public society. About the WW, you should read this: will anser your questions. You are right about the economy, I hope we will get a autonomaus EU soon! But we have to stop letting countries in the EU that dont have anything to contribute or are %95 Azia. With the new Maasvlakte we will be the gate to Europe for sure. (Now just hope Vlaanderen will be annexated coming years :p) I'm afraid we wont have to help the new owners of the YPR to maintain them, the same happend with the Leo-1, we sold 250 of them to Chile and never heard anything of that again. Where are those YPR parts made? The last couple of years we always had to wait for parts from Belgium and Germany. Glad we got the CV-90! Selling our new, top of the line, classified BMS would not be such a smart move ;)
  4. Again, I know why the praying mantis PMC carry masks, my question was if they could be removed so the units would fit a larger set of roles. All the PMCs in MGS4 are nice yes. I think MGS always keeps a good balance between SciFi and reality. Its a shame these won't be updated, it's a good addon and would have been very nice units with some "set identity" commands and being able to see their face. I do hope Ardvarkdb will use the bodys to make a PMC/PSD addon than ;)
  5. @Bugkill: Exactly! The models are just perfect for a more allround PMC/PSD role. the detail in the gear is fantastic. Thats why I said "Removing the mask would make them more all round." At the moment they are only MGS PMC's, when one would remove the mask and the praying mantis patch they would fit much more scenarios. Like personal security detachements. Btw, when placed in the editor with "units" they are independent, when with "groups" they are BLUFOR.
  6. Could you please remove the masks from the units? These units are great as PMC's! Removing the mask would make them more all round. Thank you for al your greataddons!

    New Medal of Honor game trailer

    let me rephrase that: it's not because DICE is lazy but cheap And its not only the sound is the least bothering, they are actually great. Its that it looks like a BF:BC2 mod with fewer classes and options what is irritating, the spawning in plain sight without any cover nearby what makes me rage. ---- Try the NO SNIPER servers, makes the game less irritating and much more enjoyable!

    Oh, never thought about it that way. Pay freeze? like in not getting money for months? Hope you will be allright! --------- I sure hope the BAF will get a pause after 2015 to complete the modernization and (problably) restructuring. Weird to see recruitment going up in the wars, mot people dont want to get send overseas or..??

    Zeitgeist: Moving Forward | Official Trailer-

    Well , lets say some people think it where not actual aeroplanes that struck the towers. Google-> WTC UFO
  10. Paper is what makes the military world go round, especially when it comes to planning exercises like shooting at Bergen-Hohne, without the 1Ger/NLD we wouldn't get to do that. Not a formation in the flesh but we would need units on paper that have to be available in case all hell breaks lose. Seedorf wasn't the last base in Germany, we still got Münster: and there are German troops at the Dutch army base Garderen with the CISbat. I understand we wont make money with old vehicles.

    Zeitgeist: Moving Forward | Official Trailer-

    My thought exactly. 1 of them almost came out the other side, I dont think thermite is still needed to take that building down. (hope this wont turn into the "ufo did it" discussion)
  12. Yeah KCT always has the good stuff, even have the HK416 as standard weapon, p90 is out of service though, they wear to fast. Didnt hear about the MP7, intresting! :) Hope the new Colt Canada will have the same effect on relation between CA and NLD. Too bad the rest of the manouvre units didnt get the HK416 too..:rolleyes: I do think there is a reasenable percentage of the budget invested in Dutch companys. For example, the Pzh2000NL an the fennek have a lot of Dutch systems build in, a lot done by Thales and Stork. Van Halteren Metaal even build the whole tower for the Pzh2000NL. A lot of money is going to the JSF witch is being co-developt by Stork and Fokker so a lot of those euros will go to the national economy. As said by the former MoD, 92% of the euros spend on this project will go to our own economy. We do invest a lot in Dutch companys but we are not to proud of it in some way. I think national pride is often confused with nationalism so to be save its never really outspoken. On top of that, a lot of Dutch people get scared when they hear the words "weaponstrade" and "weapons development" maybe that why these facts and figures are nowhere outside of the DoD media. I dont think we will make any profit on the YPR, we still bought them, it doesnt matter in which country. Hope they will be sold fast, the sooner the better, we still have a lot of MOB complexes full of them, enought to sell to Egypt and Oman too. Storing them costs a lot so every cent we get for it will be compensation for the costs already made.

    Secondary Monitor as Map

    pffff, just automatic switch off the map when moving on foot. btw, this can be done already. press "M" and start running.
  14. Cant there just be a mine with the model of the large IED? Would make it nice to find an disarm it, or not and blow up your vehicle. Those scripts are nice, been using them for a while now.

    Ac-130

    I don't see how adding more units and vehicles to the game would ruine it. There is already a AC130 script and someone is making a model so your prayers have been heard. btw, we already got the MLRS, thats far more overkill than a Spooky II. What's up with all the nay sayers? Just because it was in COD doesnt restrict the use.(and hey, we all played it and enjoyed it) If so, we better get all the SF models out of the game!

    Does the British DoD have any problems with getting personnel? Here its pretty bad, like having battalions only half filled for years. After every rotation out or Afghanistan more people leave the service than people come in, even lowering the standard (yeah great idea right?) didnt help. I ask because 43.000 people are a lot of people getting unemployed in harsh times. On the new systems, its always hard to get brand new systems to work out in the field, be it a new vehicle or new equipment. Often problems like a few or no spare parts for the system and low skill and experience level of personnel make it even harder. What I'm trying to say is, modernization is good, but so much in such a short time might be hard or even dangerous for operational personnel. And as you said before, there is always the risk of delays. Is there a estimation when the troops will be withdrawn from Afghanistan? I think these cuts might have an impact on the British involvement in that country and on the rest of coalition partners in RC:South.
  17. The British MTP would be so sweet! Make it even cheaper to go someplace because we dont need to change all our clothing. KCT is testing the original mulitcam at the moment. But as with most projects I suspect this will be on hold for a while or will transform in getting cheap copys of the original product (arktis->whaller) The YPR-765 are going to south america, not with too much profit I suppose. I don't think the benelux thing would work, the Belgium DoD already have their hands full with some language issues.(vlaamse-walloniese war:p) We don't have enought troops to make a 1st ger/nld army corps and a benelux army corps. The 1st ger/nld army corps gives us access to a lot of german training areas, I dont think the ardennes will live up to that. Most weapon orders, like the diemaco back in the day, are placed in foreign countrys with the expectation those countrys will invest in our economy. But dont forget, the tower on the new CV90 are Dutch, only the cannon is from the USA, the rest is Dutch. Same for a lot of equipment in service are from Thales Netherlands like BMS. They made a lot of the systems on the Zeven Provinciën class air defence and C2 frigates, might be an anser to those wild bears above the north sea ;)

    Oruzgan Valley 20x20 Km

    wow, when did this happen? the sattelite pic looks like north of Deh Rawod, in the area around FOB Cobra
  19. I think ANZAC mod is doing a C-17. not sure though.
  20. Massi's 1st SFOD-Delta has 1, in 3 different camo's link: Try here. It has both airfields in there with some nice features. I don't think putting stuff you have to buy on the internet for free is legal so the BAF FOB is out of the question. You can unpbo some pbo but I don't know if that is legal, have to ask the mods. anyway here is the link:
  21. I totally agree, a body should be retrieved or taken with the platoon, and it adds more to a loss than just 1 rifle out of the fight, you are forced to clear a LZ and hold untill the body is RTB creating huge consequenses when you suffer losses. At the moment I just tell myself it has to be post battle behaviour when the AI totally ignores my orders :p
  22. No we dont have the money, we have heavy finace cuts inside the DoD at the moment. And if we had the money I think we have to invest it into something more usefull than upgrading a few flying boytoys wich are gonne be out of service within 10years. Cant think of anything the F-16's need for operational purposes what they don't already have. It would be nice to get some propper kit and clothing again. The RNLAF does more and more interception exercises last years like intercepting slowmovers. Good to see them doing it in RL, hope they took nice pictures of each other.
  23. Yeah the module is pretty nice, but it only drops a medic to patch you up and doesnt take the wounded or dead. right now I just let them "Hide Body" so its a little more realistic. I dont think emotions would contribute anything to the game and I dont think dancing US Army soldiers after shooting people in the face is the picture BIS wants to draw of the forces overseas.

    Military Discussion Thread

    Correct me if I'm wrong here. I think its odd to see half of the decisions involve serious cuts and the other half buying new stuff, its like cutting to compensate modernisation. That must be expensive.
  25. I dont think this is the time to spend money we dont have. And who cares about a figgn patrolplane anyway, just a way of Russia to say they are still there, its not like they gonna bomb or anything...
