I'll also be making the SANDF by the way
To compete with the other modern day factions
Will be interesting how the Rooivalk, Rooikat and Ratel take on the Russians, Brits, Militia and US
Although no scopes for SANDF personnel... that will be a disadvantage
Won't be a problem with the SADF vs SWAPO and FAPLA though as neither had scopes. So they're even there.
Aren't you the guy who posts all those cool pictures to reddit?
Springbok? Ja that's me.
There's another called Vektor2000 that isn't me.
Could easily make the Rhino as it uses the same hull as the Samil 100 kwevoel. Though I believe it was a police vehicle. Never issued to the SADF?
Athough those okes in the pic are wearing SADF browns...
@Kooijpolloi any knowledge on this?
could be koevoet
Possibly although I believe they wore their unique camouflage uniforms by the this time.
Koevoet will also be included
They'll be up against SWAPO. Would probably be easier to fight against for the players on the SWAPO side. As there won't be any Ratels or Elands available to Koevoet. Only Casspirs.
Every so often I find a weird vehicle that looks like either a Casspir or a Kwevoel but not quite. In this casw it looks like a kwevoel that wants to be a Casspir.
Players complain about flipping vehicles in SQUAD when it is only reflecting reality
My word
@Springbok Some police units wore browns as well
I think this pic is from the Border War. Most likely FAPLA vehicles?
Bmp-1 and BM-21 Stalin Organ
@Kooijpolloi any idea whether identifying symbols such as that red star were common on Angolan ground vehicles?
I'm going to have to find a way to make UNITA and FAPLA vehicles identifiable from each other. Otherwise whenever there are UNITA vs FAPLA layers there will be a clusterfuck of friendly fire...
I'm thinking MPLA symbol on FAPLA vehicles. And UNITA will have their own although that rooster would look ridiculous on any vehicle...
I wonder whether this is a bosvark? I don't have any decent images of one. And all I know about them is that they were unimogs with a "bathtub" put in the back for some mine protection.
While looking for refs I found this armoured Special task force bakkie
The Ratel 81 is going to be a real nuisance I reckon. Due to it being able to relocate quickly. There is far less of a chance of it being overrun like a static mortar squad.
It gives the game new challenges
If the ratel is located it can easily be taken out by an RPG
And yes the unimog is a bosvark
what are the SADF using for there logis?
The kwêvoël
@Kooijpolloi any knowledge on when the change of uniform cut took place? Notice pointed front pockets vs straight rectangle pockets.
Samil 50 and 100
Both armoured and soft skin versions
i was about to say having an armored logi would be a neat game mechanic.
if not lightly armored
