cleggy has released an updated version v1.2 beta on the BI Forums.
I've been messing with the config and have come up with some new variants which I hope will be of interest. Models are unfinished hence the (beta).
First up we have an ambulance version in woodland and desert camo. In the best traditions of 'Thomas the tank engine' I've named the woodland version 'Florence' (as in Nightingale) and the desert version ... er, 'Florence of Arabia'! If that joke ALONE isn't worth a download - then how about a bit of indirect fire support for your beleaguered Brits from a 81mm mortar carrier?
Comes in two flavours, the _Mortar version is meant for player control, works with the new artillery computer and has the correct weapon defined.
The _ARTY version is meant for AI control, works with the Artillery Module/SOM etc. but is armed with the standard M252 mortar. (I've put this under the BLX_Support tab in the editor).
Nixo released today an alpha version of his Generic Special Forces on the BI Forums.
Why do I release this?
- I messed up this addon. I created too much work for me to handle. I have hyped everyone with this addon and promised alot of things. But I just can't work on these anymore. I am sorry. Don't expect any HQ stuff. Credits. DaSquade, for the only HQ stuff on the units. Helmet light& IR strobe Johannes for awsome models.
Nixo informed the community on the BI Forums that he has released his CDF Conscripts units for ArmA 2 & CO
The marpat is still on the naval units. I kind of like them, so they will wear them for a while, if there is alot of protest against it, then I will probably change it.
Description: After the Chernarus conflict the Chernarussian government decided that the country needs to start conscripting young men to the defence forces. The ministery of defence agreed that in order to restore and maintain peace the defence needed a larger force. All men above 18 years of age will serve atleas 18 months in the defence forces. The most popular branch to serve in is the army, which also is the main force.
There is also an option to join the newly formed Naval Infantry, also known as the marines, which is a part of the navy. The issued gear is a bit outdated but that is because of economical reasons.
