liquidcactus Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hello! Ok, so I've attempted a few of the missions that have US airborne infantry involved in the scenario. I played the map called Deville as Germans defending against 101 airborne company.. I noticed that the US texture models for that particular map are just the standard US uniforms & not airborne models so I assumed they weren't added into the game by the developers.. Than I tried brecourt silence the guns map and sure enough Dick Winters and Buck Compton had their signature 101 airborne tracksuits on .. I haven't tried any of the other 82/101 Airborne maps for that matter.. i just thought it was a bit odd I downloaded the Airborne skin mods from the repository and tried them but couldn't get them to work either.. after following the instructions which are VERY EASY to follow i might add.. but im finding only sometimes the repository CMBN mods work for me.. its quite random anyone else have the same issue(s) or am I noobing up a storm here ?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Only occasionally do Mods conflict. As long as you put the unzipped file into a subfolder entitled 'z' in your CMBN 'Data' folder it should work no problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Perhaps when playing as the Germans you just see a generic US Infantry model no matter what? Does anyone know? Or could someone test and confirm, I'm not at my PC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 The troops in Deville are glider infantry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 That's what I was about to mention. Textures aren't conflicting, the glider infantry and paratroopers do dress differently. No sense in being issued jump boots if you aren't jumping. TO&E is very different too. Glider infantry also field B.A.R.s while Airborne have the M1919A6 MG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Correct. Glider and Para are quite different in pretty much all ways. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Am I correct in believing that glider infantry are basically just vanilla infantry that ride into battle in gliders? Did they receive any special training or TO&E? I have heard that they did not receive the extra hazard pay that the paratroopers got. That latter was really unfair in light of the casualty rates they suffered just getting on the ground. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
