After a 14 year break from releasing an addon, I'm giving it a new shot. Helping fill out the British armed forces faction with the CVRT Scimitar and Scorpion. Light tanks designed and deployed in the 60s/70s, the CVRT range is an interesting anomaly in the history of armoured vehicles: light, fast and roadworthy. Scorpion had a 76mm gun, Scimitar the 30mm rarden cannon. Scimitar is being replaced by Ajax/Scout SV and RWMIK over the next couple years and Scorpion dissapeared in the 90s, but these still seem like the perfect class of vehicle for the armaverse: Not totally impervious and steamroll capable like Challenger 2, but more than handy in an infantry support role or zipping around Altis as formation recce. Planning to cover different variations from its timeline, but probably will hold off on Scimitar 2 (a UOR that mated Scimitar turret with Samson APC hull to add more IED protection and ECM gubbins) unless I get around to making CVRT Samson to the level of detail it deserves. Similarly, not gonna bother with CVRT Sabre (Fox armoured car turret on the CVRT hull). On the cards: different hidden selections, camo options, markings and potentially some OPFOR faction variations for Scorpion in particular - it got shipped around the world. Progress on variations: Early cold war era Scorpion with wading screens and old style engine deck. Perfect for Germany, Norway, defending the homeland and the Falklands deployment. Mid life gulf war era Scimitar with IR plates, storage and other gubbins slapped on in the attempt to fit into the harsh desert environ and keeping up with the combined arms battle space. Late life uparmoured Scimitar. A diesel engine upgrade and Thermal Imaging extended the lifespan and capability of the tank far into our recent incursions in the middle east. Bar armour and ECM will also be an option.

160 Infantry Brigade: Authentic, immersive light role British milsim
Sjt. J. Brown posted a topic in ARMA 3 - SQUADS AND FANPAGES
'Swift & Bold' 160 Infantry Brigade is an ArmA 3 military simulation unit emulating one of the British Army's Adaptable Force Brigades; focusing on the authentic and immersive depiction of light role operations. The aim and ethos of the Brigade is to present the operational capacity of the infantry and the trials and tribulations undertaken by British servicemen with respect, attention to detail and an attitude befitting the discipline, determination and tenacity of HM Armed Forces on operations across the globe. Careers Subject to basic recruitment requirements listed below, 160 Infantry Brigade accepts all recruits applying through our website submission form for a 20-minute retention interview in our TeamSpeak server. This interview covers a wealth of topics from personal experience and eligibility to situational light infantry questions to test and develop an applicant's common sense in a military environment. Once through this interview, the applicant is accepted as a Recruit and assigned either to the Rifles Training Company within 1 ITB or 2 Army Training Regiment depending on desired role. Prospective infantrymen looking to join 1st Battalion, The Rifles as part of the Brigade's primary deployable combat force will then undertake a condensed version of the Combat Infantryman's Course which lasts between three and five hours over the course of one evening and teaches all basic skills required to operate as a Rifleman at section level. Prospective Signallers and Combat Medical Technicians participate in a more basic version at Phase 1; a two hour Common Military Syllabus (Recruits) course, before moving on to Phase 2 for either the Regular Radio Users cadre or Phase 2 RAMC. Experience is key within 160 Infantry Brigade. Although every step is taken to ensure an authentic experience representative of the modern Rifles Regiment, the unit deviates in key areas from British Army doctrine and it is the wealth of experienced gained as part of the unit as opposed to an individual's experience in milsim that defines our leaders. For those with enough time and dedication under their belts, potential junior non-commissioned officer courses are held when positions open to determine candidates for the next generation of section commanders. Successful JNCO candidates then undertake Phase 3 training as part of the section commander's battle course; with further options including the platoon serjeant's battle course available. Basic Recruitment Requirements: - 16+ years of age - Based in a European time zone - Excellent grasp of the English language - A working microphone and copy of ARMA 3 - Able to attend the majority of Friday operations - An interest in organised, realistic and teamwork-oriented military simulation - The will to learn and support the unit's development Other Information 160 Infantry Brigade is a small milsim unit, representing at largest a single infantry platoon of 1st Battalion, The Rifles. Our aim during operations is to focus in on light role infantry combat, eschewing supporting elements such as joint helicopter command or recce platoon in order to concentrate our efforts on producing the finest infantry milsim we can possibly achieve. Those looking to perform pilot, vehicle crew, sniper or special forces roles will not find this unit accommodating for their tastes. All Brigade operations take place once a week on Fridays at 1900Z. Unit communication, warning orders, leave of absence and administration is handled through a Discord server and steps will be taken to discipline and eventually remove members who fail to communicate and/or contribute adequately to the unit.

Who are we? Number 2 Company of the Coldstream Guards was created on the 2nd of April, 2018. We are a semi-realistic British milsim unit that operates in modern times. Since the Coldstream Guards are a Light Infantry unit, most of our events consist of maneuvers on foot at a Section-level although if we need to cross long distances or get somewhere quickly, we utilize lightly-armoured vehicles for transport such as Coyotes, Jackals and MRAPs. Event Information We conduct 4 types of events in No. 2 Coy, C. GDS. These are: Field Training Exercises (FTXs) Trainings Standalone Operations Campaign Operations Our events start at 7PM EST and can last anywhere from 1 hour - 3 hours depending on the type of event. We will give appropriate notice if the event will last a while. Structure of the Unit The Coldstream Guards are one of the Foot Guard Regiments of the British Army and is the oldest regiment in the Regular Army that is still in active service. Although we are technically underneath 1st Battalion of the Coldstream Guards, in reality there is only a single battalion anyways so we took that out of the equation when naming our unit. Our long-term goal is to grow and fill up an entire company and have linked support assets working alongside our guys on the ground. Although it may take a while to ever get to that stage, we are confident that with the right people helping organise and lead the unit, we can get there. Everyone has a part to play! Available Roles Since we are a brand new unit, we doubt they'll be pilot slots or sniper positions opening up anytime soon. That being said, there are plenty of infantry-based roles that might interest you: Rifleman Grenadier (Underslung Grenade Launcher) Pointman (CQB) Marksman (7.62mm Designated Marksman Rifle) Light Machine Gunner (5.56mm belt-fed Machine Gun) Medium Machine Gunner (7.62mm belt-fed Machine Gun) Junior NCO Positions (Cpl. and below) Senior NCO Positions (Sgt. and above) Signaller (Communications) Medic For those of you that enjoy helping units stay organised and would like to get into the admin side of things, once you've been in the unit for a couple weeks and have shown a good level of commitment and loyalty, we can look into getting you incorporated into our admin staff. Recruitment Process If you would like to join the unit, please contact one of our Recruitment Officers or comment below and we'll get in touch with you ASAP. (Please see bottom of the post for a list of our Command Staff and Recruitment Staff) Once contact has been made, we will answer any questions you might have and get you to fill out an application form. This gives us a good basis of what kind of person you are. After that, you will go through a quick 2-3 minute interview where we will ask you some standard questions and all you have to do is answer them to the best of your ability. Finally, you'll be tagged up on Steam, asked to start getting the mods downloaded, invited to the Steam group and voila, you're now a member of Number 2 Company of the Coldstream Guards!
