Kieme(ITA)

Call me old fashioned, but I would have taken as many T-72B3 I could. If it was UA, then as many T-64BV I could..

I belive that reloading a turn over and over again is not exactly the best way to play... Mistakes can be done, you have to deal with those more than any form of perfectionism. If you want to "beat" the game somehow please note this is not the kind of game to be beaten, but mastered.

Thanks for the feed-back. After reviewing the tank today I have decided to make another version with a darker tone, it's not a big deal because it can be done in no time. I stick with the desaturation because, in any case, darkening saturates the color already. Looking at it should be the original BTR's green. T-72B3 - darker green color optional This option changes the colors of the original T-72B3 mod into a darker tone. Download: https://app.box.com/s/akgz9isilqy1xuila6uergp8qdymg1sd Preview: How to install: if you prefer this version please download the original T-72B3 mod, then copy the contents of this download into the previous T-72B3 mod folder and overwrite the files.

I belive command vehicles have better capacity dealing with support requests, but I never tested it (might be linked to the intrinsic organization of the specific unit). Other than that, on the maximum difficulty level they are essential, on the lower difficulty levels this essentiality is taken away for the sake of simplicity.

Thanks Peter, I'll look into the common gear. The US gear was covered with the abrams (it's in that mod) because it was the first of the US family. I'll see what's what with the rest that slipped. As regarding the tank HMGs, some were tied with the single vehicles, some were not. Not sure what was going on there, but I also saw some troubles as few mods were not showing up properly... yeah I missed a file with HMGs for the US. I'll try to set it up Tomorrow, thanks for the reminder. As regarding the PKT, like the one on the mtlbu, I belive it must be modded toghether with infantry weapons. Another reason to make a "2nd hand weapons" mod.

nevermind

Kieme CMBS T-72B3 This mod starts with BTR 's research and conversion of russian vehicles into a realistic green color, so all credits shall go to him as the author of the original texture, which is in my opinion a great digital version of the original modern russian green, therefore special thanks to him and his work. the original thread is found here: http://community.battlefront.com/topic/117857-testing/ I have desaturated and slightly brightened the green color and added layers of dust, dirt, rainmarks, scratches, details etc. and enhanced the normal maps a bit.

Kieme CMBS reworked USA uniforms This mod slightly changes US soldier uniforms, mainly by adding some weathering. I decided to go with not excessive weathering because the look of it would be quite horrible compared to the base colors and the camouflage, just a little to avoid the original "fresh new" effect. Changelog: -light desaturation to the base colors of uniforms, helmets, backpacks, camelbacks, large pouches, boots. -enhanced details -3 layers of dust, dirt, mud applied to the clothing.

Thanks for your kind words people. I have taken a look at the US uniforms. I am one of those who don't particularly like the look of the new camouflage (which might be better in person), but there's nothing to do about it, like it or not is a great fit in game, very similar to the real one. We could mod the old '80s woodland one in, but it wouldn't be much of a sense wouldn't it? It looks bad sometimes due to the stretching effects that textures show on the soldier models when they have certain postures or do some movements. So I will try to apply some mud and dirt on the lower parts for now, just to make the uniforms a bit more used and dirty.

Great pictures! Thanks again, I really enjoy this AAR.

We'll see, I'm not really into making new camos, it takes a lot of work and the result is not guaranteed. I'll try the usual weathering on existing camos, that's for sure.

It's Tricky. If the scenario has to be played by the US side only, for example, I'd go with a Farm A, Farm B etc. or something like that kind of naming. As I would expect US troops to use this kind of code to identify local keypoints. If the scenario is for UA/Rus I'd go with the personal, original names, which are quite recognizable for the russians and ukrainian already.

Thanks for the suggestions Panzer, as Always. The guy has been booted out. It's quite hard to find good pictures, and it's creepy too. Another variation:

Hehe, I knew my men would not be fit for Panzer's! On a side note Panzer, those are MARINES... this is the Army... I should get crazy on the russians...

Yes, american soldiers will be next. Trying to mod some new faces for now. I would like to add as many new guys as possible, but it's quite a long process, even with good pictures.

Nice sum up BTR. As for the tactical symbols as long as they don't depict a putin riding a bear I'm fine.

I don't want no phone calls from moscow..
