Still no Casspir or Eland though...

2019-09-30 14:47:14 UTC  

Or G6

2019-09-30 16:19:17 UTC  

Train ticket booked. Finally going home. Look forward to some art content popping up soon!

2019-09-30 22:03:33 UTC  

Casspir wasnt used by sadf

2019-09-30 22:03:41 UTC  

Only koevoet at that time

2019-09-30 22:03:59 UTC  

And eland was already phased out by then

2019-09-30 22:08:48 UTC  

I know, I would have liked it if they featured the COIN side of the conflict too

2019-09-30 22:09:58 UTC  

Then we would have got Koevoet with their casspirs in. As for the Eland they could have included them for earlier ops such as Reindeer

2019-09-30 22:12:17 UTC  

Anyway no worries as I'll be doing it with SQUAD.

2019-09-30 22:12:37 UTC  

Keen to finally be back tomorrow... and get cracking

2019-09-30 22:13:43 UTC  

Can't wait to see a screenshot like this in SQUAD. Not sure why that Buffel is green though.

They did a good job on the Buffel

Read somewhere the other day that 32Bn in Operation Moduler or Hooper had Ratels under their command and were painted in a different camouflage scheme

2019-09-30 22:33:33 UTC  

Check the size of those shells.... ๐Ÿ‘€

@Springbok ja but thats how graviteam operates they focus on one specific area of an operation

2019-10-01 08:07:01 UTC  

That looks like a russian ZU-23-2

2019-10-01 08:27:25 UTC  

It is one

2019-10-01 08:46:25 UTC  

@Kooijpolloi ja pretty much what I'll be doing too although I'm not just doing the large operations

2019-10-01 08:48:03 UTC  

I'll be doing the smaller battles and contacts too. So on some maps you'll play as SWATF or Koevoet or 32Bn. Going up against SWAPO. Whereas other layers you'll be 61 Mech going against FAPLA

Just passed a convoy of Italian army vehicles

Someone warn Ethiopia!

2019-10-01 08:50:42 UTC

Preparing to get back into modding. Dl'd blender 2.80

2019-10-02 18:03:45 UTC  

Going to buy Zbrush within the week

2019-10-02 18:03:58 UTC  

Updating UE4 and the SDK

2019-10-02 18:04:36 UTC  

Have to get used to Blender 2.80 though. Completely changed from 2.79

2019-10-04 16:08:03 UTC  

yep

2019-10-04 16:08:20 UTC  

well sorta

2019-10-06 00:51:43 UTC  

Special thanks to @Tillee for getting me the book Surviving the Ride by Steve Camp & Helmoed-Rรถmer Heitman.

Tons of information about South African armoured vehicles with pictures as well. They'll be of immense help to the development of this mod.

2019-10-06 09:56:51 UTC  

as i was saying i think the scouting ability would only allow ground troops and the eland/ratel to mark targets such as enemy vehicles or groups of soldiers

2019-10-06 09:57:47 UTC  

like the system that war thunder implemented with their light tanks where you can scout/mark enemy vehicles accurately for the enemy team insteaqd of placing a marker on a map on the enemy vehicles general location

2019-10-06 09:58:09 UTC  

this would also allow the G6 to deliver more effective fire onto the target

2019-10-06 09:58:33 UTC  

We'll see when the mod gets to that stage ๐Ÿ˜‰

2019-10-06 09:58:44 UTC  

but this is only an idea, i dont know if squad will allow that mechanic to work well

2019-10-06 10:00:08 UTC  

Right now I'm not planning on changing anything of the core gameplay. Only new assets and maps.

Though new game modes would probably be on the cards especially for the COIN aspect of the mod SADF vs SWAPO etc.
