Hi Sakowski, I thought about that too, but then I noticed that Chernaruss language makes use of the cyrillic alphabet, not the latin one, in spite of BIS having taken as a base the Czech language. You can see it on the road signs, propaganda banners, the letters written on the side of the police cars, and even on the police officers' badges.

Another picture you might find interesting: Chernarussian National Police's Antiterrorist Group "Wolf" operatives sieging the house of a suspect of spying for PRSZ, in Zernovo village. When two Chernarussian Intelligence Bureau officers approached the house for questioning he opened fire on them with a concealed handgun, seriously injuring one of them. On the image you can appreciate the new SUVs used by the CNP. Edited: I have deleted the picture since I didn't ask permission from the original author of the SUV mod to modify its addon, and I have just read on the forum rules that it is not allowed to publish a picture from a modification even if it is for personal use if the permission is not granted from the original author. Sorry for the inconvenience. A closer view on the Interior Ministry armpatch, "Wolf" unit armpatch (operative on the right), and "Militsiya" identification on the ballistic vest: Gossamer, if you are interested I'll send you the config for the reserve forces and the SUV textures, I'm at your service. Best regards.

An easy way to get some new units for the CDF could be the use of the soldier in cap model (CDF_Soldier_Militia, see the following picture) as if they were a reservist force. I've been playing around with this idea a little bit. I have armed them with AK74 instead of AKMS, in order to standardize them with the regular CDF soldiers (AKMS uses a different cartridge). I have created a version with PK machine gun, RPK-74 automatic rifle, SVD sniper and RPG-7 launcher. Only the platoon leader carries GPS and binoculars, but none of them are supplied with night vision devices. Without helmet and ballistic vest they should be tasked for second line operations. In the following picture a CRF (Chernorussian Reserve Force) unit receives Prime Minister Aldanov on its arrival at Moschnyi Island during 2012 electoral campaign: PD: Another nice config modification could be to make versions of General (CDF_Commander) and Officer (CDF_Soldier_Officer) models with Makarov pistols only, instead of the AKS-74U shorty assault rifle.

These units are a retexture of the USMC Force Recon Team Razor. I have used as a base Binkowski's "Generic Army Special Forces": http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8488 This is a private testing project to start learning how to create/retexture addons, I didn't get any permission from Binkowski, so I can't release them. I'm sure that if Gossamer feels like making a rework on them and release them on the next PCDF installment he will get the right permissions or rework them so that no permission from other authors is required. Best regards!

Hello everyone, Gossamer, on a previous post you stated that you pretend to save the MVD look for the PRSZ, but I've been practicing my texture editing capabilities a little bit (they're pretty low at this moment) and I wanted to show you the result, and the idea around them: Chernarussian Police's Antiterrorist Group "Wolf". Based on Miroslavl, its main duties are to support the regular police officers on the Chernarus-PRSZ border towns, roads and rural areas, hence the camouflage uniforms borrowed from the CDF. A sister unit, Group "Dagger", is based on the capital city Novigrad, tasked with the protection of the Prime Minister and principal members of the Cabinet, and also as a quick reaction force due to is air assault capability. Due to the small size of both units the Interior Ministry could afford to acquire Heckler & Koch material. Group "Wolf" operatives on a regular road check near the Chernarus-PRSZ border. Notice the MP5 submachine gun and the MG36 light machine gun. Black vests with the Militsiya word (милиÌциÑ) identifying them as police officers. Best regards, Asier

Those vehicles look great Gossamer, congratulations for a well done job! If you feel like working with more planes there's a chance to get a Sukhoi Su-22 ground attack plane to ChDKZ or PRSZ side. On May 2011 "Franze" released several unfinished planes (Su-22, MiG-23 and AN-12): http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14228 The Su-22 is 99% done, except for a couple of textures on the cockpit, although I'm sure that we can live without them. It shows the Sahrani Liberation Army emblem, which is very similar to the spray painted ChDKZ red star. Even the green and sand libery is very similar to the one used by ChDKZ on its vehicles. It would be necessary to make a small cpp modification to set it on the ChDKZ or PRSZ side. Unfortunately the MiG-23 interceptor would require more work, it even doesn't have engine sound. Best regards, Asier

Thanks for attending the suggestions Gossamer!! I'm sure that the Spetsnaz with PRSZ colours will look great!

I've been playing this afternoon with Sander's RCIR CDF Special Forces addon and I have made a little modification for personal use to test my texturing capabilities, these should be the Chernarussian Interior Ministry troops: At least I have managed to remove the black hood (the base for this model is the Russian MVD operator, so setting faceType = "Man"; was enough); and I have managed to place it on the CDF faction. I also wanted to turn the vest to black, maybe with the ÐœÐ¸Ð»Ð¸Ñ†Ð¸Ñ (Militia) wording on the back on yellow, (like the guy on the far right side of the following picture: maybe even with the Chernarus flag on the shoulder or chest, as PCDF's werternized troops. But after four hours I have surrendered, I can't manage the layer stuff on GIMP. Gossamer, if you accept more requests I would ask you to give a shot at these units for the next release, and maybe even to the other more Spetsnaz like units by Sander: As talking about CDF SOF what's the status of the unit you showed us a picture las week? The looked pretty well, it was a pitty not have them at release 1.04. Here it goes the picture: Best regards, Asier Edited: Resized a picture size

Thank you very much for the 1.04 release Gossamer !!! One thing I've noticed, it may be a slip or maybe you have made it deliberately: On the western troops, the marking "US" can be seen on some of the pouches they carry around the waist. And one question, you have added some new units to the PRSZ Militia side, with woodland trousers and Eastern style camo jackets. Is this a new model/retexture? or is it a existing ChDKZ character moved to the PRSZ faction? Anyway they look great!

I am amazed Gossamer with your unit production speed!! Mentioned the policeman and you make the police van, another mention on the woodland vests and inmediately done. One quick addition to PCDF might be the original BIS USMC Humvees from Arma2. They are painted in woodland camo without US national markings, so the addition of the Chernarus yellow star on the doors or the hood could suffice, unless you prefered to give them the full CDF camo scheme. Classnames: HMMWV HMMWV_Ambulance HMMWV_TOW HMMWV_MK19 HMMWV_Armored HMMWV_Avenger HMMWV_M2 It may be even possible to use these vehicles without any visual modification, just a config tweak on the cpp to set them on the CDF side manned by CDF riflemen. Indeed most US/USMC/Russian land vehicles don't sport national markings, the only exceptions being the AAV7 and the LAVs, with tiny USMC markings. Maybe it is not even necessary to bother since it is easy to make it manually on the editor, just placing them as empty and then using "moveindriver" and "moveingunner" commands. As I'm talking about cars maybe the Czech SOF LandRover from Arrowhead could be an interesting vehicle for the upcoming CDF Special Forces, with the appropiate CDF camo repainting. Classname: LandRover_Special_CZ_EP1 And now switching to the PRSZ side, as they are so great I really feel like getting in the fight with them. So I would beg for a couple of more infantry units to this side to add some variation, possible models may be the cap wearing Team Leader, Spetznatz with headscarf, Spetznatz with beret, or the Interior Ministry troops. For a change the Interior Ministry troops might show the colors of PRSZ policemen instead of the soldier camo, as if they had donned the combat vest and helmet over their police uniform. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Infantry#Russia I don't dare asking more from you, thanks again for all the great work you have done.

Precisely before seeing the "Western troops WIP" picture I was going to mention that the PCDF with western weapons lack machine guns. M249 automatic rifleman and M240 machinegunner would be a nice back-up to the CDF riflemen. Classnames, so that you don't have to find them on the Bohemia wiki: Weapon: M249 Ammo: 200Rnd_556x45_M249 Weapon: M240 Ammo: 100Rnd_762x51_M240 I have also noticed that the CDF beefed up forces don't have night combat capability, just officers carry NVG. Maybe an AKS-74 with NSPU night sight, or AKS-74 with GOSHAWK thermal vision could solve the situation: Weapon: AKS_74_NSPU Ammo: 30Rnd_545x39_AK Weapon: AKS_74_GOSHAWK Ammo: 30Rnd_545x39_AK Also, it could be nice to have a version of PCDF and PRSZ policemen just with Makarov pistols, to resemble common patrolmen, I suppose that the default police weapon is not an AKM: Weapon: Makarov Amoo: 8Rnd_9x18_Makarov But enough begging from my part, time to contribute a little bit. As I'm in love with the PRSZ forces I have researched how it would be written the name of the country on the game's languages: English: People's Republic of South Zagoria Russian: Ðародной РеÑпублики Ð®Ð¶Ð½Ð°Ñ Ð—Ð°Ð³Ð¾Ñ€Ñ‹Ñ Chernarus (Czech in reality): Čínská lidová Republika Jižní Zagoria (Not a Russian speaker myself, probably native speakers could check if it is correct). You might use it on a banner, flag, the tail of a VIP plane/chopper... Thanks again Gossamer for all your effort!

Thank you very much Gossamer for your effort, Project CDF provides great mission making possibilities to the Armaverse, and PRSZ is a sweet unexpected candy!! Just one suggestion for your consideration: to include Special Forces to PCDF. Maybe a version of BIS USMC Force Recon, or US Army SOF's from Arrowhead in CDF colours, with western weapons or modern eastern weapons like the ones used by the Czechs in OA. A couple of years ago "Sander" made the "RCIR-CDF Special Forces", Spetznaz on CDF camo scheme, maybe you could add it to PCDF: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6660 It would be great to have some CDF SOF insertion by those new UH-60s. Thanks again for your great job, Asier

Hello everyone, I would like to thank wld427 for RACS faction, it is by far my favourite faction in Arma2: great models, great weapons, I play 99% percent of time with them. As I've seen that you are working on a new update package I would like to mention two improvement possibilities that I have found, just for your information: 1) Marine "Mk-19 AGL": instead of a marine manning the AGL there is a soldier from the 1st Infantry Division. 2) Indestructible Pinzgauers: bullet proof windshields, two full magazines shot at blankpoint needed to damage a tire. (I think that you already know about this bug, but I wanted to mention it just in case) Regarding the previous posts about the RACS Marines my personal opinion is that I LOVE them, they have a lovely "retro" touch from the eighties. In fact I would like to kindly request RACS team to reinforce the Marines a little bit with some retextures: - Retexture BIS USMC AAVP7A1 anfibious armored vehicle to RACS Marine camo. - Retexture RACS Army HMMWW M2, Mk19 and TOW to RACS Marine camo. Finally thanks again wld427 and all contributors to RACS for such a great mod, with your effort you have provided the community a full new faction!! Best regards, AsierB
