Just a cool armored car

Hey Springbok, would you perchance have any pictures of the AWB in their camo uniform? Can't find many good pictures and when I do they're dressed in boomer attire.

Looks like the Tank Encyclopedia illustrations

Pinterest doesn't have anything, unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Weird, it didn't show up when I searched for the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging

Thanks very much!

I think this guy could force the ANC out by sitting on them

I've got an original Angolan flag coming in soon, except mine is the one they still use today

Indeed! I'm glad HAH could hook me up with it

High Adventure History, he makes a lot of Rhodesian themed patches (as well as others), and he sells various flags and military bits he finds

He selects which patches he sells via polls on his Instagram

Galveston, Texas.
In November he's going to have an all-Rhodesian patch poll in honor of UDI

I believe his last patch was that blue Congo one

No idea, he tends to just get a hold of things, he's definitely worth adding on Instagram if you like cool stuff.

True. I know he ships patches internationally all the time so those can't be too bad cost-wise

Anybody who pronounces 'Z' as 'Zed' and not 'Zee' is a monster that must be put down

The British and Kangaroo people do it too

One one side, there are countries that use the metric system. On the other side, is the country that's put a man on the moon.

And invented the internet

And the car as we know it

And the plane

Without US aid the Soviets would've crumpled and eventually the British.

Going from 24% of the world to an island the size of Michigan

It'll be glorious! Between this and the Armscor mod I'm so hyped!

Long as you don't bite off more than you can chew, I'll be happy with anything related to either war. Shame they're so forgotten in the west.

Really? Why's that?

Is ArmA running on an old-ass engine, or was that a different game I'm thinking of?

I have no such pictures in my collection either. Maybe ask Dana?

Oh yeah he served later on, but he's still the best person to ask that I know of

I believe he was in in the '90s

You gotta do what you gotta do...

Serious question, wouldn't shorts be a problem as they'd let your leg get all scratched up, or is that just a problem I've had in my particular environment?

Why did the Rhodesians wear them, then? Cost effectiveness?

Rhino G6-45

Now imagine doing it IRL when some commies need some hate dropped on them from the next ZIP code over

I've got pictures of a G6-*35* power pack, nothing on the 45.

That's before it's razed to the ground for hiding FAPLA troops

Is this the M87? If so this is actually my favorite military helmet

How well were they liked by the people who had to wear them?

Makes sense. It's a shame really, I just don't like the aesthetics of the bush hat.

Never seen that picture but I have to agree with you

Yeah, I prefer the '80s look.
Also thanks to you and the Armscor discord my South African photo archive has tripled

Not familiar with that vehicle, looks like something from Mad Max. What is it?

Somehow I've never heard of this before, thanks for the picture!

Unsung pulled it off, right?

Oh shit right forgot what server I was on

Is SQUAD more prone to lag with environments than ArmA?

What are good specs to run it at a somewhat consistent framerate? I recently got a new PC and I think it'll be up to the challenge

Is there a way to tell the difference between a Rhodie Alouette and a South African one?

Oh yes, I believe I saw that as an entry in HAH's last patch poll

I prefer the Rhodesian one personally

I think they're all good, but something about a lion & tusk on green is really nice.

That said, I prefer Oryx > Alouette

Fireforce Ventures, these popped up as 'coming soon'.

Those prices may be in Canadian Dollars

They all are, no matter where you go. Might also check Kommandostore?

And they will be more expensive as they're not in SA

FFV is Canadian, KS is American if I recall.
I was talking to a guy in SA about getting me a set of 80s gear, but due to SA's outrageous shipping costs that cost more than the items themselves that fell through on his request.

I thought SA pulled support after Operation Eland?

At least, that's what Wikipedia says, and they've *never* been wrong, *ever*

Hey @Springbok, do you perchance have any pictures of the interior of a *Rhodesian* de Havilland Vampire?

Wait they do? Are they relatively cheap? I don't care if they're knock-offs, they'd make good airsoft kit

What are they called?

What did they have IRL?

Was that a no on Vampire pictures?

See ya, talk later

Of course, much appreciated. I just wanted to know if you had any, no rush.

Is the country as big of a shithole as it seems

The Great Betrayal is an overpriced book too.

Someone warn Ethiopia!

What changed

I do not, I've heard it's a multiplayer game and my internet isn't that great.

I see you've added some text and changed the top right icon thing

So what exactly was the goal here? Still looks like a dead terr.

Wow, that sounds really cool. Now we just need the Joburg slums or a Brazilian Favela.

I'd prefer the SADF if I'm being honest. Sorry but I just can't stand S2000.

Do you do airsoft or is that a random picture you found?

And yeah it looks better there.

Hey, nothing wrong with that!

Still putting funds towards my South Africa nutria retrieval trip.
Huh, I think a similar law exists in Canada. It's stupid there but you never know when people might impersonate the SANDF.

It looks really cool, maybe when I move in a few years my internet will be good enough to play it. Of course by then most folks will have moved on to other games.

What is the main difference between ArmA 3 and SQUAD? Been looking at either buying Squad or getting the ArmA 3 cold war dlc.

I didn't know that, thanks! Yeah, the one problem I had with ArmA 3 is that a lot of the singleplayer missions are super clunky, and you can easily fail the mission early on when a squad lead dies and everything breaks, but of course they never tell you that.

God I loved Far Cry 2

Nope, they'd get too much flak because it's not white people or random arabs being killed, and that's racist in the media's eyes.

Probably, but after the media got on them for not saying 'white man bad' in Far Cry 5 I can tell you there's no way they'd risk the media crucifying them on a return to Africa.

We can all think that but no corporation would risk losing even a dollar over it.

Less than six months until a family member of mine is going on Safari in Limpopo!

Looking real good

Are there any good pictures of the Stormjaers? Can't seem to find any on Pinterest or Google Images

Fuck Apex. Worst game I've played in a while

Fick das Spiel und die Entwickler, die es gemacht haben!

Imagine SQUAD but it's in real life and in South Africa and we're deposing the government and throwing the ANC out of Helicopters
