birdstrike Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I've so far been unable to locate the GMG-equipped Jackal in the Brits OOB. When I pick the light infantry recce platoon, no matter what equipment quality I choose, I always get the GPMG and HMG versions. Is there another unit using the Jackal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Marshal Blücher Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Fire support sections in the light infantry rifle companies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Nope. I only have the Defender WMIK variants there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Land Rover Wolfs, technically. Defenders went out of service before Iraq, AIUI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 AFAIK, Wolf is just the military's designation, the vehicle still is a Defender. I like Defender better - because Wolf always makes me think of the German army's Mercedes G-class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Is any one sure it made it into the final game? in the scenario forum we were talking about a few vehicle models that didn't make the final cut like the "Snatch 2" patrol vehicle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Defender better - because Wolf always makes me think of the German army's Mercedes G-class. Afraid not, the military vehicle is heavily modified from the basic defender, so while it's based on the Defender, it isn't one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 A bump for this in case any one found the Jackal birdstrike is looking for. I'd like to know myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think it fell out in the wash. Might we see it get put back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futon river crossing Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Also what happened to the Mastiff? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainsaw Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 the Mastiff was never planed to be in the game. so it didnt happen much with it. But I cant find the GMG Jackal either... so maybe its been dished out by error? it isnt mentioned in the manual either under "buying" stuff how to get the GMG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I just found it. There's three GMG Jackals in the Light Inf Battalion - they're the Maneuver Support Group recce HQ vehicles. I had originally thought it was a 'poor' equipment thing but no. Every HQ gets GMG Jackals no matter what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 If I recall, there was/is a similar issue with Stryker HQ vehicles. Always, .50s (I think), equipment quality has no effect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sorry, no luck here. I checked the Recce HQs, but mine all have a GPMGs, no GMGs. However, I did just notice that Jackal gunners can button up (or rather duck). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainsaw Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Same here, so what is Birdstrike and me doing for wrong when MikeyD succeed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thGalaxy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm sure they crop up when I get Jackal platoons in QBs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Must be some Beta Tester Mojo Mike is using. There were three types in the video released July 9th. Maybe it went the way of the Snatch patrol vehicle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Oooooh, I'm sorry - I'm an absolute idiot. My post above I was thinking GPMG and typing GMG. No 'Grenade Machinegun' (spelling it out) that I can find. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webwing Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 You won´t be able to find the GMG in the Jackal, unfortunately. Should be back in the next patch though. - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Okay. Good to know. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Excellent news. Now if we all put our heads together and find out how Snatch Land Rovers are organised in the British Army TO&E there's a good chance they'll add them too. Cassio you know you want to! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
