Sorry m8 the pics are not working, I cant see anything.Just copy and paste the links
Can you upload them to the forum instead?
From what I understand I believe the helments look a bit funny. I always used to look at british troop helmets as a sphere cut in half almost like semi-circles.
also could we have a desert SAS troop with headscalf like the ones we saw on the News when they were in Afghanistan
I hope that someone starts making UK tanks
Stu 35, are you sure the Kevlar helmet wasn't an introduction version?
the russian 7.62x39mm bullet isnt 'huge' it has a lot of stopping power but doesnt compare to the 7.62x51mm nato round, dont let the width of the bullet confuse you, thats why they have two measurements in bullets :) i did a little searching around and the 7.62x39 is more comparable to the .223, the 7.62x39 it was designed back when engagement ranges were 100-150m, it was used because it was a lightweight bullet, so the soldier could carry more ammo, although i believe it has more stopping power than the .223, so basically, when you see 7.62 dont always think of M60-type rounds...Just found a picture for those who get a little confused about the 7.62 ammunition.
A 7.62 round will tear out a fist-sized chunk of fleshthe 5.56 will bounce on the bones inside you body doing a lot of internal damage. [END EDIT]
But only semi automatic
The thing i remember was that we had sh*t 58 webbing ammo pouches, and it didnt work to well with the magazines.
We got the SA80 a few years later, everyone in my unit was more impressed with the cleaning kit than the actual weapon lol it had so many neat things to clean your gat with, a well guarded possesion. The SLR cleaning kit was sooooooo crap and ancient in comparison.
The concept of the SA80 is good, but it couldnt take the punishement you could give a SLR.
the corps regiments have very dark blue berets as opposed to the black of the infantry regiments
Before doing this, we'd like to hear the communities opinion on the matter. Do you agree, not agree (and why)? And do you have any suggestions as to how we can overcome this problem (we have already tried a lot of different approaches without much luck)?

new weapon model - *ahem* Experimental texture.
my first texture are y'all proud of me ;-) (sorry its a bit dark)
I think the RGJ had a kind of cacky brown colour though, but don't hold me to that.
I have no Idea why us "Yanks" call American "Football", Football, and real Football Soccer, makes no sence, but that's America for ya
i could give you a history lesson dating back to medieval times, and, i will - you see it all dates back to medieval times, when football was basically a game where you would try to kick a ball through the town hall door, while the rest of the village tried to stop you, it is unclear what the rules are, probably because there werent any.
later some decided to make some rules for it, others did not like these rules, and some decided they wanted rules but not these ones - so we wound up with many different games of 2 main kinds - the kind where you could carry it with your hands, and the kind where you could not...
Now the early versions of American Football MAY have resembled rugby in some way, and from what i have found out it seems an American president didnt like the number of deaths that were incurring so a load of rules such as "clipping"(?) were made.
but since the SAS is such a secretive bunch i know that I or no1 here (or very unlikely) knows anything about all the equipment they use and why and what weapons etc
Messiah if you thought that the embassy siege was a complete f**k up. Then what about the 1980 Iranian hostage situation that US f**ked up, what about the 1972 Israeli hostage siuation Munich.
Need I go on?
The truth is there is no hostage siege that ends perfect. A perfect end to a hostage situation, would be one where the neogtiations work, so there are no deaths. No dead hostages. No dead terrorists.
I hope I've made a point to you people who say "the SAS are abso****inglutly s**t".
Right, to make sure this doesn't turn into a "my army's better than yours" flame war, I'll make one final point:Yes lets stop this flame war (sarcasm)
Hehe, don't know whether you can call 'not realising he was a terrorist' restraint
You might well get *a* bootneck for Christmas ... what would ppl prefer .. the standard DPM w/. Beret or 50/50 (Standard/Desert) w/. helmet and Daysack?
GREAT work guys, this is just what we needed, bout time there where some decent British addons, the game has been out for far to long without any. All we need now are some vehicles to go with your infantry and the game will be complete (well as far as this British gamer is concerned :) )

Hope you haven't missed DLM's Landrover http://mysite.freeserve.com/deliltmon/DLMLR110GS_BETA.zip (http://mysite.freeserve.com/deliltmon/DLMLR110GS_BETA.zip) - I am begging him to 'do' a Warrior next...
Personally I think the landy needs touching up texture wise, it tends to look a little out of place with the less detailed textures.
their MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) taste like s***e.
I'm fed up of playing as a yank
I read on the internet once that the delivery for some MH47s to the SAS were cancelled because the US needed them to replace the helicopters they lost in Afghanistan and Phillipines or Indonesia. Although the US "say" that they'll eventually give us some better, more up to date MH47 s but I wouldn't expect that to happen soon.
the SA80 gives a real British feel
Yep we do have them
Whats the status on the Uk pack? The teaser was great...now I want MORE!
The SA-80/LSW sound like BB guns

Your Point?
Your Point?
Just a simple thing, but on the radio operator I thought the standard hetset of the clansman consisted of one ear piece and a throat microphone?
A single unit for each regiment wearing the
regimental beret...Now, we plan on only doing five or six such units.
The choice is yours....(and if you could supply a pic it would be appreciated)...
In case you don't use my idea, then the Staffordshire Regiment please.
They wear very dark blue with the Staffordshire cross as the cap badge, see attachment.
Yes they're my 'local' regiment, but I did ask for 'em ages ago and you did make them.
Thanks for pointing that out Woofer.NP. Btw the sackcloth can only be seen through the badge - it doesn't line the outside edges.
Well, the sa80 doesn't have commonly issued grenade launcher. the Marines have been trying the AG36 out in Afghanistan.
The only other way of doing it is with Rifle Launched grenades. but outside of MOUT/FIBUA type training im not sure how common these are (tho i suppose i'd best find out)
Can you still have the different faces with the straps on the helmets?
I don't really see a problem with chucking in a few AG36s so that they are balanced with other units out there. But if your going for heavy realism, I don't think they even use Rifle grenades en masse.
Just a thought on the 51mm mortar - I believe it can be fired very like a grenade launcher,ie holding in hands and firing by a trigger rather than by dropping bombs down the barrel.If you're on about a real 51mm mortar, thats a big no. Unless you have firm ground or something underneath to absorb the recoil, you will end up digging it out of the ground.
PPS is the 51mm mortar a metricated ww2 2inch mortar or is it a newer pierce of kit? anybody know? ???The 51mm mortar is a redesign of the 2". Apart from switching to metric rounds, the firing mechanism was redesigned and a sight was added for aiding the elevation of the barrel.
"The 2in mortar could fire HE, smoke or illuminating ammunition. It was a smooth bore, muzzle loading, high angle of fire weapon (although it could be fire horizontally for street fighting), lanyard trigger fired mortar which was still in service 25 years after the end of the war."I would still recommend something sturdy like a tree or wall if you were going to try that - I don't have any examples like The_Dude, but please take my word for it that you wouldn't want it to be your shoulder that you fire it from.
also the british army web site describes a "short range insert device" for close quarter combat.*Puts smoking jacket on and settles into his leather armchair with his favourite pipe*
anybody had any experience of this weapon and how it operates in this short range mode?
I think the impact of firing a mortar with the butt of it against your chest or shoulder or whatever would break a bone...
I heard a story about a marine in WW2 picking up a japanese short mortar (whatever they were called, they looked like gl's though) and propped it against his thigh and fired...
Well needless to say he went home and didnt serve anymore in the war...
When Mirbat in Oman was attacked by Adoo guerillas in 1972, the enemy were at one point so close to the SAS compound that one of the SAS defenders held the red hot barrel against chest and the base of the mortar between his legs. He fired several rounds at the attackers, so it must have worked.
good luck with the uk forces ill be waiting ;D
Also attached is a picture of me so that you can take up the debate with me in person should you see me in the street... [edit] that is a joke and not an offer for a fight [/edit]
But I don't think we should bore everyone else with it any longer :P
Clansman radios in use in an infantry platoon:
PRC349 - Section (Squad) leaders and 2nd in command
PRC350 - Platoon Second in command
PRC351 - Platoon Radio operator
While I haven't heard of a PRC319 I accept that they might exist. Here's a link to more info (http://home.t-online.de/home/Oliver_Gottlob/ffr/radio/)
I think the PRC319 was mainly uset by special forces like SBS or SAS. They're probably outdated by now, since the book I found the info about them in is from 1996.*Thumbs through B20 and kicks self* - Didn't remember reading about it.
I'm getting somewhat confused by the fact that the Brit' army are using the Minimi now in there sections, but what would the Section look like know, that the Minimi and AG36 are being used?
Pardon me all,
I hate to be an absolute bore,
but I seem to be having a few few problems using the Royal Marine teaser add-on, you see I downloaded it into my Res Add-on folder (the same as always)
But They don't appear in the WEST UNIT bit,
Now I use RES v.1.75, Is this why they don't work?
Or is there something I've missed?
Do any of you good fellows use them in RES?
Any answers are much appreciated.

Hey tankieboy how's the scanner doing? ;-)
Well my brother also nagged me to do them in black coveralls, maybe we can do them in plain black coveralls, then also one with them having the camo gear, especially for when we come round to doing a Challenger 2 in desert camo, dont really want black coveralls there.
But work on the crew hasnt started yet, as we are focusing on finishing ongoing projects first.
P.S My little Brother is also in 2RTR, he is 17 though atm so no war for him, thankfully for us.
A bunch of pot smoking scrapping thugs = Queens own Highlanders
I didn't know you'd served with us mate. ;) - although we wernae pot-smokers on account of alcohol and drugs are a bad mix, and if you can present to me a highlander who doesnae have an blood-alcohol level high enough to get a rhino pissed at any given moment, ill present you with a lowlander who is actually Scottish. ;)
And those pistols dannae look half bad messiah lad.
*gulp*
:hmm:
I'll take the Lagers, but I dont really care all that much for the Royals.
