wwoody23 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Are there any U.S. Armored Personel Carriers available that I could use in a Mod I'm building? wwoody23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakarion. Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Apart from the in-game Bradley ? El Oso did a excellent M113 APC - and thats about all of the ones that are currently availiable (I think - anyone else know of any others ???) (Shameless plug time) I will be releasing a re-worked M2 Bradley, LAV-150 and off course a uparmoured/armed Hummer models fairly soon.

blakarion. Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Please - if your gonna release your Mod, you MUST ask for permission from El OSo to use his M113 model - he's a good bloke, and Im sure he will have no problem with u using it : BUT u MUST get his permission before u do so As for my stuff, well wait and see if u like them, and if so please get in touch.

BrandonKappel Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 @blakarion--are you still going to release your vehicles as a stand-alone mod? My 56K don't let me download too big of mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakarion. Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 @wwoody23 : Im sure El Oso will be right back to u, and sorry about the "desperate" post about Permissions - I should have said that in the original post @BrandonKappel : yes, I will release all the vehicles I have done so far, prob before Xmas/New Year - and it will be two seperate "Packs" for Allied and OpFor vehicles. And I hope u will d/load Operation Dark Star when I release it m8, I expect a full test report from u about it @DWG : A 8x8 LAV with 30mm turret (cant remember the vehicles designation at mo) is in the works, and its pretty easy to then convert thatinto a Stryker afterwards - I'll even have ago at the anti-RPG 'fencing' around them (VERY topical at mo), Warrior and Saxon, Im afraid there a bit futher down the (long) list but eventually, yes.

I believe the post refers to AMERICAN apc's, and those last two are not used by us yankees. You might try looking for an AAV7 A1, the Marine's landing vehicle. Its big and boxy, but packs a punch with a .50 MG and 40mm GL There's also the Marines' LAV 25. Same 25mm Bushmaster as the Bradely, but in an amphibious wheeled format.

blakarion. Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Well, the US used APC are few in number (Bradley, M113, AA7V1, Stryker and LAV-25) are the ones off the top of my head. But then now I come to think of it only two of those are in GR (unles u count ASLAV / Coyote for the LAV-25). It all depends it u count the up-amoured armament Hummers as APC's ?? The are impervious to small arms, have a heavy weapon mount and carry troops - seem to fall into the 'Wheeled APC' type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a variant of the Commando family in film clips from Iraq, a quick web search suggests it's the M-1117 Guardian Armoured Security Vehicle used by the USAr's Military Police -- http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/sys.../ground/asv.htm For the timescale of Ghost Recon the Marine Corps' Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (ex-AAAV) should be starting to appear, and the Army's FCS APC variant should be in evaluation. We know what the EFV will look like, but the FCS is still too immature. It all depends it u count the up-amoured armament Hummers as APC's ?? The are impervious to small arms, have a heavy weapon mount and carry troops - seem to fall into the 'Wheeled APC' type. I barely count Saxon as an APC, the uparmoured Hummers are just a protected utility vehicle like the Armoured Landrovers we use. Suitable for patrol in low threat areas, not for serious combat use. The UK designates the new Panther as a command and liaison vehicle, which is a good measure of what they should be used for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakarion. Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Tru, all good points m8 : I was thinking current vehicles used in main uesage, and while the armed/armoured Hummers are not ideal APC's, they are much more numerous then Bradleys ! As for the future vehicles, who knows about waht they are - we thought we where gonna get the Commanche Scout Heli as well - DOHHH ! But, yes we can certainly make educated guesses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
