Blimey 39 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Have made some changes to the look of the Russians to represent unconventional forces. Made the helmets transparent. Ditto some of the pouches. Added some rag-tagging. Also mad use of some of Aris' RT faces. Credit to him. As this mod replaces the Russian infantry it will have to be tagged for scenario creation only. Should be ready in about a week or so.

sburke 2,003 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 you can't fool me, those are Russian regulars under those balaklavas. I am calling the OSCE. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pelican Pal 121 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 You might want to consider using this on Ukrainian troops. I find that their equipment is better suited to representing Separatists. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
antaress73 69 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) The DPR army doesnt look like that anymore.. They look like a regular army with body armor and gorka uniforms or olive green with plain helmets (plastic looking). Let me find you some pics.

satan 0 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Great idea just a note on uniforms. Just as the Ukrainian army uses Yelllow armbands for ID( to avoid friendly fire) the Sep.'s use white armbands to avoid friendly fire. Might be a good look. REF.... Armbands and Novo russia patch PS: A lot of sep. have helmets, lots of Uke Arty...... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blimey 39 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Antares73....thanks for the info. Guilty. But I wanted something that sets them apart from the conventional forces. Too close a resemblance and it's not worth it. Appreciate that may be frustrating for those wanting accuracy tho. I could probably reinstate some conventional camo. Satan...thanks too. Useful attachments. Reinstating helmets causes some problems. May all have to have them to avoid artefacts. I'll look at it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wiggum15 32 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I also would love to see more realistic NAF soldiers with gorka uniforms and helmets. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blimey 39 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Here's how it looks now. Armbands. A few more Russian Camos in the rag-tag mix. Helmets.No bare heads. Sorry, but I want to keep the rag-tag look. Those wanting something more accurate or different can of course mod the mod when it's released. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

antaress73 69 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Can you remove the camo on the helmet to get an olive drab plain one ? or maybe even alternate between the two , a mix. Would help on getting that rag-tag look. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
agusto 238 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Wow, good job Blimey. I can wait to get my hands on them. IIRC someone is currently working on donetsk airport map, would work great in combination with this mod. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blimey 39 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 antaress73 - the plain green helmet is in there. Just can't see it that well. Have some bearded faces lined up but problems showing up. See other thread. agusto - thanks.That map should be interesting. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RepsolCBR 444 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Blimey...I Think these looks VERY NICE ! I'm currently working on a scenario with seperatists vs ukranians but unfortunatelly i'm using ukranian troops on both sides (standard vs digital camo)... This MOD would have been perfect in this scenario i think but it will have to wait for the next one...My first scenario for CMBS is pretty much finished (the briefing screen and some more testing left to do). Thanks for your MOD ! I will most certanly use it in the future... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blimey 39 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 RepsolCBR - thanks for the kind comments. Shame your scenario can't include them. Sadly, if I swap the textures over to Ukraine they'll show up on both sides. Nevertheless, am looking forward to playing your scenario. Here's the latest screenies. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Yubby 2 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Blimey, the latest post looks a lot like Sean Connery :-) Mark G. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
