This picture was listed as Rhodesian Selous scouts but I don't believe it is as I don't recall the Rhodesians ever using nutria uniforms

I like the foliage on the helmets. Would be nice to have such an option.

Mortar squad. One thing I dislike about Squad's mortars is that they feel very static. It is difficult to relocate as it costs you build points to assemble and you don't get them back when disassembling the mortar as far as I know. Would be far better if those build points used were restored to the logi when digging down the mortar.

Helicopter coming in to refuel at an HAA. I hope fuel becomes a thing in SQUAD at some point otherwise helicopters will be constantly flying over the operational area without needing to refuel.

2019-09-04 14:13:01 UTC  

Ooof probably nope

2019-09-04 14:13:25 UTC  

@Kooijpolloi do you know if the koevoet uniforms were the same cut as the sadf browns?

2019-09-04 14:13:41 UTC  

If so that'll make life far easier for me

2019-09-04 14:16:39 UTC  

Lol

2019-09-04 14:16:57 UTC  

Koevoet sometimes fought in civvies

2019-09-04 14:17:12 UTC  

But yes they wore standard browns for most the war tho

2019-09-04 14:18:50 UTC  

I know they wore browns too. Just wondering whether their camouflage uniforms were the same as the browns just in a camo pattern that way I don't have to sculpt two different uniforms. Just one that has two different textures, one nutria and one koevoet camo.

2019-09-04 14:19:20 UTC  

The camo pants were long pants but they sometimes cut them short

2019-09-04 14:19:34 UTC  

Since it gets fuck hot in a casspir

2019-09-04 14:19:52 UTC  

Read this book btw

2019-09-04 14:19:54 UTC  

Very good

2019-09-04 14:20:09 UTC  

I'll see if I can get it at some point

2019-09-04 14:21:06 UTC  

There is that same palm symbol again

2019-09-04 14:22:05 UTC  

Any pic descriptions?

2019-09-04 14:22:29 UTC  

I'm going to include various insignia and symbols on SADF vehicles too where they were historically such as the 61 mech logo on 61 mech Ratels

2019-09-04 14:23:02 UTC  

It probably had one but finding it again is a mission

2019-09-04 14:24:22 UTC  

Hmmmm never seen it before

2019-09-04 14:24:56 UTC  

Might be SWATF

2019-09-04 14:25:00 UTC  

What base is that in the background in the first pic it looks very familiar

2019-09-04 14:25:11 UTC  

Oshakati?

2019-09-04 14:25:57 UTC  

I've seen that same base in several reference images. Maybe Ondangwa?

2019-09-04 14:27:04 UTC  

Oshakati also had a similar tower

2019-09-04 14:27:09 UTC  

With an AA gun on it

2019-09-04 14:27:29 UTC  

At the top of that tower is a double 23mm yes

2019-09-04 14:29:00 UTC  

Concrete one was called alpha tower I believe.

2019-09-04 14:29:14 UTC  

Hmmm yes

2019-09-04 14:29:48 UTC  

Twin mags... wouldn't want to be on the receiving end

2019-09-04 14:30:06 UTC  

How the hell did they fire both at the same time...

2019-09-04 14:30:23 UTC  

One hand on each

2019-09-04 14:30:28 UTC  

I suppose?

2019-09-04 14:31:00 UTC  

Nope

2019-09-04 14:31:08 UTC  

Its connected to a spoon trigger

2019-09-04 14:31:34 UTC  

They had one with 3 Mags

2019-09-04 14:32:37 UTC  

I'll have to do my research on that then as I'll be including dual mags, 30s and 50s

2019-09-04 14:33:04 UTC  

On casspirs and buffels.
