Enjoy.

There seems to be an incorrect perception that the Abrams can't be killed frontally. ChrisND showed unmistakably in his vid series, though, that you can clobber it. RUS 5 on US 4, frontal, US force already spotted by other RUS units. T-90 AM line is hulldown and begins firing from 700 meters.  US disaster begins at 2:16.

Sure, finalizing now the 3-tone camo on BTRs:

Kieme CMBS BRM-3K
 
Unfortunately I lost some templates, so, at least for now, this comes only with the 3-tone camo.
 
Note: to be complete, this mod requires at least one of the previous BMP-3 mods installed, so that will give it wheels and tracks.

Kieme CMBS BMP-3-k
 
This mod covers the basic BMP-3 and BMP-3k. Green only for these two versions to better distinguish them from the modernized ones.

Very interesting, thanks for posting, So appearently from what I can gather, from the 5th Tank Brigade's four batallions one batallion was formed to be sent into Ukraine. That seems to be in line what has been said earlier here about the way the Russians organize their combat forces.
 
BTW, that "explaination" on how T-72B3 could get into Ukraine was sadly something I have read on liveleak where it was brought forth as a serious argument, not a joke.

Kieme CMBS BMP-3M
 
This mod covers all BMP-3M variants.

Plain dark green preview:

Weeeell, that or maybe the Ukrainians repaired some of their junk T-72s, equipped them with Sosna-U and export Kontakt-5 from Belarus and let those fall into the Separatist's hands to make it look like Russia supplied high end T-72s to the coal miners.
 
On a more serious note: Does Russia have a lot of old T-72 around in garages and warehouses and such which aren't getting upgraded? Or aren't they actually upgrading but rather producing new ones (given the newer models have new engines for instance),
 
I remember having read an interview with some poor sod who was arrested for DUI in Rostov and then offered to go to Donezk to repair and maintain tanks (cause he was a mechanic) for two weeks in exchange for dropped charges. The end of the song was he got captured by the Ukrainians after a column of tanks, one of which he drove, getting driven near the frontlines was ambushed. Doubt it was the same incident though, since these guys weren't supposed to fight and the crewmember didn't even know each other and weren't trained either.
 
Do you know how many AFVs were lost in that incident? From the pictures I'd say at least 3 T-72s and 1 BMP. I'd also really like to know how they were engaged. For me this is part of a bigger issue since I have real difficulties imagning what typical combat and engagements in that conflict look like, given that there is more or less parity in numbers and equipment for the most part (not like OIF for instance which was more the type of fighting CMSF tried to portray).

If Trophy APS is realistically as insanely effective against all forms of ATGM from every angle, including the massive Kh-25 which is a rough equivalent to Maverick, Russian air support AI needs to change to use cannons first to strip the APS.  I've done a few tests using two SU-25s against just a single platoon of Abrams, all equipped with APS, and the Frogfoots were completely ineffective at even making a dent until they used their cannon and stripped the external systems from the Abrams, but at this point the missiles were expended.  This happened every time (5 tests).  Helicopters were a little more effective only because they had enough missiles to keep shooting after the APS was expended.
 
I'm absolutely certain that if Trophy isn't bugged and is really this much proof against every kind of ATGM threat until it runs out of ammo, the Russian pilots would try to strip this system off their targets before they waste valuable ATGMS to explode harmlessly a few meters from their target every time. 

No no, don't worry, we will all have the regulation green.
 
 
Finalizing the 3 tone scheme on BMP-3M:
 

Kieme CMBS T-90AM
 
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.
 
IMPORTANT
there are TWO versions of this mod. You must choose only ONE of them to install. They cannot work toghether. Therefore, please make your choice: plain dark green or 3 tone camo. The weathering is the same for both.

I finished my first scenario and would like to share it with you.
 
A small US combat patrol tries to recover a downed Air Force pilot that came down near a Russian OP. Best played Blue vs. AI.
 
Tiny battle in a wooded area. 30 min. +< 10min. 4 AI plans for Red and 1 for Blue. Playing Red vs. AI might be fun, depending on how good a day the AI has, it might also completely mess it up since the job that the Blue player has to do is not something the AI is good at and also hits some limitations (e.g. AI can't remount vehicles). Playing H2H might work, but I did not test it. The forces and victory conditions are quite fair I think.
 
I wanted something similar to the outstanding "An August Morning" in the sense that the map and the forces are tiny but Blue has to cross the map to touch an objective and then retreat. To spice things up I throw in vehicles!
 
Since the repository does not seem to get updated (I submitted sometime early this week), here a dropbox link for now:
 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9849673/Airman%20Down.zip
 
Please criticize, I want to improve my scenario making skills.

Done. I am uploading new version what is more balanced.

Some sounds are little too distant to my taste. Maybe I edit them when have time.

To be clear, with "NATO" i was talking about the "already done in Shock Force" stuff (Brits,German,Dutch) a module with Polish or baltic troops would be cool !

So... new western equipment is a unnecessary addition but reusing the Ukrainian army fresh and new?
 
Both a marines module and a separatist are kind of confirmed (The separatists by Steve somewhere in the "has debalt(something) fallen?" thread and the marines both by the story and ChrisND somewhere else. I personally don't think that the jump to NATO is small enough to justify not doing it. Yes, much of the equipment is somewhat similar, but so is everything in modern warfare. Heck, all warfare is "shooting stuff with my stuff".
 
I don't think that we'll see winter anytime soon. It is a lot of work. Earlier, before the release, Steve was asked if they would include winter for community scenarios. He answered that for everyone asking for winter there would be someone who asked them to add a winter variant to all models, etc. Redoing everything, from infantry models to vehicle textures, is a LOT of work.
What I'd personally like to see is a mix. Some traditional NATO countries (Germany, GB, France) combined with other NATO countries (Poland is a must!) with new forces (Marines and Russian stuff. I don't know details about those, so please forgive me).
Ideally I'd like to see one BLUFOR addition and one OPFOR addition in every module.
 
But hey, I don't have to do the work behind all this!

What is wrong with having both .... and much more.  There is lots of interesting things that can be done under the umbrella of a 'NATO' module, like the Poles, which I would like very much like to see in the game. 

Presumably it was an exasperated old-timer: "Stop mucking about with yer fancy technology and watch how a real man does it!"
 
At present I'm chewing my way through some QBs just to get used to everything and I have to keep stopping to film impressive stuff. We've got the plucky enemy ATGM gunner getting the Fulda Gap treatment who tries to be a hero:
 

 
Should have stayed in his hole.
 
And the first time I've gotten wrong-footed by the AI: "Oh, those tanks will go around the woods and we'll hit them in the flanks with the RPGs..." WRONG.
 

 
How my two T-90s ended up on the enemy flank for the last bit of footage was epic, but I pressed the big red button instead of 'play' to film the replay and lost the opportunity. They charged through enemy infantry pinned down by a torrent of small arms fire and popped up at point-blank range next to the enemy tanks. Crazy stuff.

At first i was getting pissed i couldn't get LOS with my Javs then this happened
 

I've updated the mod with tagged night faces with 3 masks added on. Use the same download link.

Work in progress for something different, a 3-tone camo on the T-90A (still missing the smaller black patches):

 
 
 
Not easy to add camo on the T-90, as for the T-64 Bulat, the ERA blocks are not one different than another, and some texture bits are used for both elements of the couple (example: shtora emitters), so, unfortunately, I can't paint only one of them.
 
I am sure to release both the standard green version and this camo one. Both with the same weathering.
