I prefer the m87 helmet personally.

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

2019-09-12 23:33:21 UTC  

Yes m87

2019-09-12 23:33:51 UTC  

Mine

2019-09-12 23:34:30 UTC  

Similar to a pasgt really

2019-09-12 23:34:33 UTC  

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

2019-09-12 23:35:27 UTC  

All I know is the troops preferred wearing the bush hat whenever possible. Wearing a helmet in such heat and for long periods wasn't glamorous.

2019-09-12 23:36:11 UTC  

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

2019-09-12 23:36:46 UTC  

Best aesthetic of the SADF imo sure the pat 70 and R1 were great too but I prefer the 80's aesthetic

Never seen that picture but I have to agree with you

2019-09-12 23:38:17 UTC  

Pat 70 kit and R1

Americans will recognize this vehicle as it was adopted by the US.

2019-09-12 23:39:56 UTC  

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

2019-09-12 23:40:12 UTC  

You're welcome

2019-09-12 23:40:19 UTC  

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

2019-09-12 23:41:27 UTC  

It was called chubby by us

2019-09-12 23:41:36 UTC  

Americans call it husky

2019-09-12 23:42:05 UTC  

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

2019-09-12 23:43:21 UTC  

Used extensively in the Border War and Afghanistan War. It eats mines and ieds for breakfast

2019-09-12 23:51:39 UTC  

I hope the performance won't be too bad with how thick the bush will be as seen here.

2019-09-12 23:52:05 UTC  

Unsung pulled it off, right?

2019-09-12 23:52:37 UTC  

There are more open spaces as well though.

2019-09-12 23:52:50 UTC  

For SQUAD.

2019-09-12 23:53:01 UTC  

Oh shit right forgot what server I was on

2019-09-12 23:53:09 UTC  

😂

2019-09-12 23:53:48 UTC  

Is SQUAD more prone to lag with environments than ArmA?

2019-09-12 23:55:19 UTC  

It depends on your specs. SQUAD definitely runs better then ARMA but also suffers from lag in regards to too many assets on screen

2019-09-12 23:55:54 UTC  

But it is being continueously optimized

2019-09-12 23:56:30 UTC  

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

2019-09-12 23:58:18 UTC  

Alouettes would spot and shoot the shit out of SWAPO whenever they were in a chase. The descriptions I've read of what the 20mm could do were pretty grotesque.

2019-09-12 23:59:10 UTC  

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

2019-09-12 23:59:31 UTC  

Yes and no

2019-09-13 00:00:04 UTC  

Look out for SAAF or Rhodie roundel

2019-09-13 00:01:22 UTC  

Though sometimes there would be no roundel usually with SAAF helicopters operating in Rhodesian ops in order to conceal SA support.

Saaf roundel seen there
