Alright lekker, I needed to know because I want get the equipment more or less accurate per operation of course not every operation will be featured as not all of them were major ops
Yes yes
Ja I have a few questions on my mind right now
Shoot my man
I've found a couple of images of the Unimog soft skinned vehicle in use in SWA were these used quite often? As I'm not sure whether to include them or not as the Buffel is pretty much the same thing just with the armoured cabin.
It may just be a waste of time and resources to include this if it wasn't used in high numbers.
Second question.
Was the Y2 MGL widely issued? I only have a few references of it and nothing more. I'd like to know what units and roles were they issued to and what time frame? 80's?
Unimogs are early war, after 86 only SF in mozam used mogs
You could maybe just use the buffel
Ja I may consider doing the soft skin Unimog down the line just to flesh out the SADF early war period a bit but it's not a priority at the moment
Have you shown them my Buffel and other vehicles?
Snotneus was only issued to fighting units as far as they know
My dad only used it when they were attached to 62 mech
Wasn't the Snotneus the M79?
Or was the "snotneus" nickname also applied to the Milkor Y2 MGL?
My Milkor Y2 MGL still work in progress. Been awhile since I worked on it though as I was preoccupied with the other models.
They applied snotneus to all GLs
Ah alright good to know
They started using more MAGs per unit as well
More mortars as well
Lots of 60mm
The M26 grenade was also used by troops correct? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/M-61Grenade.jpg
Yes m26
Was the writing on the grenade in English or Afrikaans? Since I believe they were locally manufactured the writing on the grenades if there was any may have differed from the US version? Might be something difficult to recall though.
It's the small details like this that while not super important are nice to get right.
English
Okay cool. That's about it for now, thanks man.
All english
Cool cool
wait
unimogs in africa
Ja the SADF used plenty of them. The Buffel uses a Unimog chassis
superb vehicles
