I'd also like to be accurate with the changes in equipment over the duration of the war.

Such as early ops will only have bedfords, landrovers and elands

Later ops will have ratels, casspirs, buffels and samils

that would be really cool

Same with uniforms, aircraft and weapons

R1's early on, R4's later on, alouttes early, pumas, alouettes and super frelons later

Though initially I will be focusing on the 1980's

well i cant wait for the allouette 3 or the puma

As I already have the R4 and 1980's vehicles almost done

Ja same here

Will be hectic seeing alouettes flying above firing down with their 20mm's on the enemy.

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

not impossible for the SADF to use that vehicle

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.

That symbol for FAPLA vehicles?

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
