Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) They've been mentioned many times before and some of them are really very cool, in an insane Mad Max sort of way, so gentlemen, nominations for your favourite Jihad Mobiles! No VBIEDs please (they are crass). Here's my current favourite (handiwork of the Afghan Taliban): That has to be the coolest HMMWV mod ever!

LongLeftFlank Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) ... Just kidding, here's a few from my neck of the woods. Not jihadi rides though... those are mostly Mk-I flip flops, with a few Hiluxes and here and there. Yup, that's Philippine rush hour all right... M113 chopper refits. ... Hey, waddya know. Ok finally found a Maute technical. Nothing exotic, other than the M2 50 cal mount. Most of their weapons come from AFP stockpiles, sold off by corrupt pricks....

LongLeftFlank Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) The wonderful ingenuity of the Pinoy (alas combined all too often with total lack of practicality). https://rhk111smilitaryandarmspage.wordpress.com/2017/07/23/the-wooden-armored-vehicles-of-marawi/#more-6284 Perhaps *not* rolling into tight quarters like this might help some. Presumably the ordnance loads also later ended up as IEDs. Edited October 7, 2017 by LongLeftFlank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Some fine new candidates: Minimalist Heavy Trucknical Death Race 2000 All Terrain Technical Just plain mental! So @Battlefront.com, what's the chances of seeing some of these in CM:SF II? Edited November 2, 2017 by Sgt.Squarehead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 We already have something very like the pickup with the .50 cal mounted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLeftFlank Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 No time for CM these days but it looks like the Maute attempt to stage "Mosul East" in Marawi failed dismally, with the trapping and death of most of their command and key combat specialists (trainers) in house to house fighting. Most notable was the near total absence of the suicide jockeys that bedeviled CTS; most of the suicide belts found turned out to be dummies. While Malay warriors are renowned for extreme acts of suicidal bravery (amok), it seems calculatedly becoming a human bomb isn't part of the code. It's about the extravagant display, not the body count. While virgins in the afterlife don't hold as much appeal in a society with relaxed sexual mores (even among Muslims). No doubt there are exceptions of course, but it was a fatal miscalculation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) My sympathy for them is somewhat limited, they made a right mess of the place: TBH that just makes me want persistent map damage even more.....Apologies to @LongLeftFlank, I know that's in rather poor taste.

LongLeftFlank Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Sympathy don't enter into it. After 10 of 13 Abu Sayyafs slipped out of a daylight 'cordon' held by over 200 AFP and police troops in Bohol back in April, I was terrified hundreds of the Maute including their key leaders would likewise elope out of Marawi to keep building their forces in the hills. But it seems they either chose to stand and die, or else the AFP tightened the perimeter down properly this time and made the choice for them. Based on what I've read and heard this debacle has set the extremists back years - it is a Tet offensive level disaster. They aren't gone, sure, and will still do terrorist acts, but they can't defend an 'emirate' or secure base area anywhere, even against rival Muslim paramilitaries much less the army. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Which is damned good news IMHO.....Presumably your SFO guys will be up in those hills hunting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hopefully, it's their fellow Muslims who hunt them down, the MNLF and (wait for it) MILF. The latter trapped and massacred 44 police SAF troopers back in 2014 when they did a raid on their turf without notice (or proper support). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Are those the mobs run by the pair of barking mad brothers.....I seem to recall reading something along those lines somewhere? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
