NPye Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I want to make some british commandos wearing the green beret instead of the usual tin helmet, I was thinking i could adapt the Tank forces beret, the only thing is i'm on a Mac and we still CANT see the original files, so i havent got the original bmp's and MDR files. Is this doable and if so can somebody send me over the relevant files. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Jack Ripper Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 As far as I know, editing the 3D models is impossible. If you swapped in the .bmp's for the berets all you would get is some funny looking helmets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Zaitzev Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I did this once. British use two kinds of Helmets, one with net and the other without net. So with a lot of help from kohlenklaum I managed to create a mix of helmet and bereted troops. The downside is that you can't use commandos and regular troops on the same battle. It's basically Darknight (DC) Mod updated to work with the latest files, so all the files where created by him. There might be better Commando uniforms out there, don't remember which one I used. I would recommend using Engineers to represent the Commandos, their platoon structure is similar. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8rwq4lj3dpys5uu/Commandos.7z?dl=0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 To me the green berets represent the Royal Marines.  Commandos had knitted hats - but I'm basing that on the old Airfix box-lid source.  Actually also, from memory, on a statue in Fort William - anyone have pics?  So knitted hats - watch caps - would be a cool mod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Speaking of box art, here's one showing both berets and watch caps. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno what the Army Commandos wore in 1944 - tin helmets I suppose. The knit hats were more for raiding than conventional warfare (which is basically what the Commandos - be it Army or Royal Marine - were doing in 1944). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. By this point in the war, the policy of hit and run raids just to be doing something, anything, against the German empire had become superfluous. But now you had these bands of highly trained fighters who needed employment. One solution might have been to disband them and send the men back to their original units, where their training, experience, and leadership might have proven invaluable. But organizations once created can be very hard to get rid of (and besides they were Churchill's pets). So, from about the time of Torch onward, their primary role became more and more as spearheads of large scale amphibious operations.

Sailor Malan2 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Of course, whether anyone really wore berets or other soft headgear in CM style combat (i.e. not ultra-stealthy raids) is probably debatable... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Not really. Â It seemed to be down to unit or even individual preference.
