@Kooijpolloi any knowledge on this?

2019-09-03 15:23:57 UTC  

could be koevoet

2019-09-03 15:25:15 UTC  

Possibly although I believe they wore their unique camouflage uniforms by the this time.

2019-09-03 15:25:40 UTC  

Koevoet will also be included

2019-09-03 15:27:27 UTC  

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.

2019-09-03 15:29:37 UTC  

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

2019-09-03 17:35:00 UTC  

@Springbok Some police units wore browns as well

2019-09-03 17:35:17 UTC  

not impossible for the SADF to use that vehicle

2019-09-04 00:03:56 UTC  

I think this pic is from the Border War. Most likely FAPLA vehicles?

2019-09-04 00:04:21 UTC  

Bmp-1 and BM-21 Stalin Organ

2019-09-04 00:05:35 UTC  

@Kooijpolloi any idea whether identifying symbols such as that red star were common on Angolan ground vehicles?

2019-09-04 00:07:04 UTC  

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...

2019-09-04 00:08:23 UTC  

I'm thinking MPLA symbol on FAPLA vehicles. And UNITA will have their own although that rooster would look ridiculous on any vehicle...

2019-09-04 00:10:08 UTC  

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.

2019-09-04 00:12:17 UTC  

That symbol for FAPLA vehicles?

While looking for refs I found this armoured Special task force bakkie

2019-09-04 00:17:27 UTC  

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.

2019-09-04 00:18:20 UTC  

It gives the game new challenges

2019-09-04 00:18:40 UTC  

If the ratel is located it can easily be taken out by an RPG

2019-09-04 00:19:07 UTC  

And yes the unimog is a bosvark

2019-09-04 00:19:09 UTC  

what are the SADF using for there logis?

2019-09-04 00:19:24 UTC  

The kwêvoël

2019-09-04 00:19:30 UTC  

@Kooijpolloi any knowledge on when the change of uniform cut took place? Notice pointed front pockets vs straight rectangle pockets.

2019-09-04 00:19:51 UTC  

Samil 50 and 100

2019-09-04 00:20:09 UTC  

Both armoured and soft skin versions

2019-09-04 00:21:25 UTC  

Pity the Ratel logistics was never adopted

2019-09-04 00:21:35 UTC  

i was about to say having an armored logi would be a neat game mechanic.

2019-09-04 00:22:02 UTC  

if not lightly armored

2019-09-04 00:23:19 UTC  

Top two are the armoured samil 100 kwevoel

2019-09-04 00:23:42 UTC  

Bottom is the samil 50? Soft skin

2019-09-04 00:24:32 UTC  

Samil 100 and samil 50 are the same truck I believe just the 100 has two extra wheels

2019-09-04 00:25:02 UTC  

Or more if they're double

2019-09-04 00:27:01 UTC  

Fapla used the btr-152 early on but quickly switched to the btr-60 after Op Savannah IIRC.

2019-09-04 00:28:33 UTC  

Captured FAPLA vehicles during Op Protea? BRDM-2, PT-76, T-34'85 and a GAZ 66? Only one of those vehicles is currently in SQUAD

You're welcome.
