Go back in time as the US army from 1983!

No M249, M9 or Humvees. The M16 still has the fun switch, and the grunts have M1 steel pots and M1911 handguns.

Replaces the US faction, all existing vanilla missions that use the US army will use this updated faction.

Additionally! Hot off the press! If you just want the gear without changing the vanilla US faction, check out the equipment-only version here:

what about 240s?

mortal sundial Jan 2, 2023, 7:09 PM

#

What about them? As far as I know they weren't in use in the infantry role at this time

Question, will there be more varieties of the pot helmet like so,

Apologies for the photo was a quick photo grab from Google but I was curious if some would have no camo covering and some with goggles?

mortal sundial Jan 2, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

I might do a couple other variants to round out the collection yeah

Quick feedback when you are using the M16A1 with m203 grenade launcher, when loadout is saved and you die with it the barrel is no longer attached when you respawn with it the handguard basically with the m203

brazen topaz Jan 2, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

*Handguard disappears with the 203 on respawn

mortal sundial Jan 2, 2023, 9:35 PM

can you show me a screenshot?

Death is getting one right now

Oh great, thanks!

Sorry for the wait I also have a clip too but basically thats it, was waiting for the clip to upload

How bizarre, I have no clue why that's happening, will look in to it, cheers!

No problem always happy to help I love the mod creators for Arma they bring great work so keep it up man 🤙

If it helps it seems to completely revert it to the standard vairiant because it even removes the GL function

mortal sundial Jan 3, 2023, 11:21 AM

#

yeah I understand what's happening now - for some reason on respawn the M203 attachment disappears (this is how the M16a1 triangular handguard is handled too, but that doesn't disappear) - bit of an odd one!

@mortal sundial we used the mod in our deployment op on Monday the guys love it, thanks for making it man lot of us appreciate it.

We hop to see more come out of this 🤙

Any chance of a Soviet equivalent? 👀

mortal sundial Jan 5, 2023, 12:20 PM

#

What would that consist of? As far as I could tell the soviet faction is pretty much as it would be back to the late 70s

More uniform variants I suppose, Inside of just the single tan color mix in the KLMK and various ranked uniforms.

I mean there's a mod out there for it in a dumbed down version the expanded Russian uniforms, could send you the details on it if you'd like my boys use it specifically for setting up Russian Spetsnaz Forces to fight against like so

Can't wait to see more M1 variants!

Any updates on how development is going?

mortal sundial Jan 28, 2023, 1:01 PM

#

No - putting this to the side whilst focussing on v1 of British forces mod and moving house

@mortal sundial just to keep you updated with the new 9.8 update your modded items are no longer in the arsenal box.

mortal sundial May 12, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

Wonderful! Unfortunately I still don't have my PC setup from my move and I'm off travelling from next week so I can't easily remedy this, great mod-friendly update control

mortal sundial Jun 8, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

Update

Pushed an update to both mods that updates the arsenal config so it should work again. Enjoy!

Thanks!

#

Can folks using this on a server do me a favour: does it save loadout correctly?

mortal sundial Jun 9, 2023, 12:14 PM

#

interesting, I have no clue how to troubleshoot this

mortal sundial Jul 2, 2023, 7:16 AM

#

So the new experimental update brings the m1 helmet, my take is I should probably hide my one from the arsenal and use the vanilla one unless anyone has a good reason why not?

#

Are you ever going to make a Vietnam version

mortal sundial Jul 3, 2023, 3:29 PM

#

Probably not, I just did this to get a bit of experience doing the whole mod thing end to end

ornate stump Jul 3, 2023, 5:21 PM

#

Alr thank you!

Will this ever get a reupload by any chance?
