It's far easier to make content for SQUAD than it is for ARMA. So don't worry about that

Really? Why's that?

UE4 is very userfriendly

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

ARMA 3's modding tools are pretty difficult to learn and use in comparison to UE4. Far more tutorials out there for the latter too

And yes ARMA 3's engine is built off of an engine developed in the late 90's. First game that used that engine was Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis

Released in 2001

I have yet to find a picture of an R1 with a wooden handguard. Which leads me to believe there weren't any?

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

Sure will do although I believe he was in the SADF with the R4 already in use. As the R4 was adopted in 1980 iirc.

The R1 is seldom seen in pics during the 80's

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

Ja

I believe he was in in the '90s

When you've got gyppo guts...

You gotta do what you gotta do...

Some troops wore shorts but not as common as our Rhodesian brothers.

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?

SQUAD already has an FN FAL but it isn't the same variant as the R1. I'll have to model the R1 as a consquence. No problem though. I'm going to cheat a little and use the SQUAD FN FAL as a base to model over.

Ja shorts were a bad idea. Not just for the notorious haak n steek (thorn bushes) but sunburn too

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

Likely just preference. Rhodesians didn't fancy trousers in the blistering heat and humidity. Probably considered the thorn bushes as worth the risk for the increased airflow and thus comfort of shorts.

Rhino G6-45

Love this photo... a South African will improvise a braai regardless of the circumstances he finds himself in.

Sexy G6

No braai? Fuck that lets braai on a spade.

I'd love to have the ability to load rounds directly into the G6 as seen here. But definitely not something I'd include in the initial release of the G6 in OPS.

I can imagine pressing F to pick up a projectile. It then pops into your hands and you run over to the back. Press F again to pop it into the G6. Load and fire...

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

I won't have a full interior for the G6 though as I have no reference of the interior.

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

With SQUAD's vaulting and climbing. Players will be able to climb in and out in a similar manner to how it was done in reality.

Angolan village

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

or SWAPO. As they were the primary enemy. FAPLA just got in the way. Which led to contact with them as well. Although there were many instances where FAPLA was directly targeted but the end goal was always to undermine SWAPO and thus stop their yearly cross border infiltrations.

Parabats with the m83 helmet and wood grip galil.

I prefer the m87 helmet personally.

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