I at least did not think it was disrespect, and Dildo is totally something a tank crew might try to name their track, I'm just saying CPT D Co commander type would have rejected it.
 
 
Dracul (Dracula would have been sort of lame, but Dracul just looks like a typo, and after Twilight, vampires are lame)
Dragon's Breath (NERD ALERT.   Also our sister Battalion had a Dragon on its unit crest, so I generally shot down Dragon related names to avoid the confusion)
Daddy (just weird)
 
I can't remember the rest too well, this is a conversation I had nearly a year ago.  One of my PLs was rather attached to the game "Bioshock" and I remember having to tell him "dude, just no" over some name related to that game, but I can't recall the name now.  I also rejected anything that was just "Da' XXXX" on principle.  
 
On the other hand I did allow an appeal if the entire crew wanted a name I considered dumb.  I just did not want the crew to be stuck with a stupid name their LT dreamed up.  I made sure my dudes were okay with it when I renamed my tank just because at the end of the day, they're the one doing most of the work on it.
 
 
Here's some markings that sometimes occur:
 
1. Driver's and vehicle commander's names on the front window (this is common on all trucks, but it's done in black so it's not super-obvious.  Honestly think it's more of a way for the Battalions CSM to know who to yell at if the truck is parked poorly)
 
2. Bumper number and Battalion number on the front/back.  Also worth skipping unless you're making a mod to spectically put C Company 1-72 Armor into the game though.
 
3. Sometimes a "VS-17" Panel will be displayed on the "trunk" lid.  It's a two sided canvas deal that's got an orange side or a pink side, and is a very common recognition symbol, usually mounted on the top of a vehicle to ensure the USAF doesn't shoot you.  
 
I have not seen a named HMMWVV. 
 
I am also zero help on Strykers.  I spent my entire career in the armor type recon units, or combined arms battalions.
 
Yep.  Dildo is already out, but it had more to do with I had a QB with an entire platoon of Dildos.  I'm just contributing what I know in the hopes it's useful.

Start on Strikers...
 
As a first thing I wanted to make a very good wheel (the original one is still very nice); first of all, I doubled the resolution (HD wheel!) of the original file, then I grabbed the pneumatic (and tread) out of a real striker photograph, changed the colors a bit, and "mounted" it on the original rim.
 
 
Still needs weathering and maybe a bit stronger normal map (I have corrected the trim after looking at this picture to match the correct scale):
 

You do know you can easiely remove files you dont like? Very happy though that you share your knowledge on the matter. And thanks Kieme for making the mods  

Kieme CMBS USA Hummer

You got it, strikers next!
 
I might still have an ace under the table for the hummer...

This is a mod a really like.
The colors of the camouflage are very good for my tastes and the plain helmet is a must in my opinion.
 
Thanks for sharing.
 
On a side note, if you want you could correct the graphic bug about the soldiers' shoulders, take a look here:
http://community.battlefront.com/topic/118188-bug-report-graphic-russian-infantry/
 
I used a cloning tool and made the vests shoulders a bit longer up to the edge of the bmp file.

Updated version is on my dropbox.

aha remarkable to be able to talk to someone who was there. Thanks again for your support.
 
What do you think about this low-visibility tentative?
Ouch, found a problem! Cheap BFC used the same basket texture to cover the lower part of the turret sensor...
I shall move the text on the bolted plate above where it is now.
 

Kieme CMBS USA Bradley
 
Covers all Bradley versions.

Kieme CMBS USA Bradley desert ERA add on
 
This is just an option.
This mod adds some ERA blocks of a different color (desert yellow). These blocks will be shown on each Bradley in a random fashion, thus making each vehicle different.
The texture for desert blocks has been imported from the old CMSF.
If you like the concept, it creates sort of a camouflage.

Kieme CMBS USA Bradley graffiti add on
 
This is another option for the Bradley.
This mod will add a funny hand-written graffiti on the back ramp of each vehicle. There are 23 different short phrases of various kind that will show up randomly on Bradleys in game.

Hi all,
 
I've been plugging away at a National Training Center terrain mod over the past couple days, and I finally feel complete enough to post it and get feedback. Even though CMBS is set in Europe, with the magic of mod tags we can take our M1s and T-72s and throw them against each other in the desert of California. For those not familiar with what NTC is, it's a US military training center in the desert of California, and for the last 25+ years has been the premier center for armored manuever training. For many years an NTC rotation was the "superbowl" for manuever commanders and a poor showing could end careers. Literally hundreds of battles have been fought over and through the manuever corridors of NTC, and almost every major pass, important terrain feature or passible wadi has a unique name that is unforgettable to those that have been there. A quick google search can pull up a myraid of "war" stories that are prime material for CM scenarios.
 
The terrain is mostly a mashup of tiles from CMSF, CMFI, CMRT and my own terrain mods. I've tweaked the colors so they all blend. You can also obviously use this to model any sort of desert type environment, but it's intended to replicate NTC. It's not 100% complete, but enough is there to create something that hopefully looks like the California desert. As I'v'e only had the pleasure of visiting NTC once, I'd love feedback from those who've spent more time in the box on how close I've replicated the look and feel of NTC.
 
This is not complete! There is more I need to polish up. The mod tag you need to use for scenarios is [NTC]: https://www.dropbox.com/s/raeujlvb8rxog1y/AD%20CMBS%20NTC%20Terrain.zip?dl=0

Kieme CMBS USA Abrams - tank names add-on
 
Ok, this might not be for everyone taste, so it's just an add on. If you want your tanks to display a nickname on the gun barrels (noticed this was the case in CMSF too) you just need to download this and put it in your mods folder.
I also noticed that US M1A2 SEPs in recent europe training had these nicknames stenciled on the gun barrel. I managed to find a nice font, very similar to the original one. The names are in White but not too large or bright.
Anyway, grab it if you like it, otherwise you can keep your M1s with no charisma at all.
 
Download:
https://app.box.com/s/hb49kaaisph12f6h69tsjsl4yolekpaa
 
Changelog:
-tank nickname added on the gun barrel right side (39 different names)
 
The names vary from WW2 tributes, to obvious ones, to "cool" or actual ones, got a dirty one there, too.
Hope I didn't make any mistake. 
The large file size is due to the number of textures... these should be enough to ensure a certain variety, although you might still get doubles (or blanks).
 
Preview (yeah I know, pretty obvious one):

Debating wether i should make a Azov Battalion mod or just make it a generic UA mod....

 

 

Kieme CMBS UAZ-URAL UA
 
Quite heavy weathering. Changed the base colors to better fit the other UA vehicle mods. Changed color of the URAL tarpaulin to a brownish one.

Thanks guys.
 
After UA I'd go USA. First because their vehicles have already a nice camouflage, second because there are less vehicle types than RU. Moreover, RU vehicles have basic colors I don't like one bit, so I'd like to see if someone comes up with a solution to that first (changing the base color of the textures is very hard for me).

I will check the standard versions of roads and buildings, didn't do that properly.
 
Kieme CMBS BRM-1k-PRP UA
 
These two vehicles were slightly changed in color to match the BMP-2 mod.
UA vehicles almost done, UAZ and Ural are the next ones.
