-SA58 (w/ Baby poop camo)
-M16 (w/ Baby poop camo)
-L1A1 (Really bad, my first custom weapon)

The white Rhodesian infantry

[fallen flare]

@proper rose Racially objectional/offensive content is forbidden on the workshop. White minority rule fell on the wrong side of history and is universally considered objectional/offensive.

[proper rose]

This is not intended as anything racial or such. I honestly just like their camo and gear. I am sorry if I stepped on someones toes, it was not my intention.

[restive geyser]

Lol

[gray fossil]

Their gear and such is interesting but it is understandable why Steve-E says what he does, Rhodesian stuff attracts a very... interesting group of people

Not to imply anything of you plekter

[crude tusk]

I think you making a Rhodesian mod is rather cool

[summer tangle]

Was not racial its just a camo damn

[restive geyser]

Real

[fierce flower]

This is true. But we also have a Tiger tank directly beside this showroom entry, a vehicle built by Nazi Germany. So where is the line drawn? 🤔

But I must say the WW2 is more historically significant to more people than bush war in unrecognized, white-ruled African nation. So there would be more questions asked, why?

[quasi lagoon]

Ethnostates, not cool

A very unusual, and a bit distasteful mod to create.

[untold pagoda]

It’s literally just a camo and some guns

None of the content within this mod is hateful or even racial whatsoever

[summer tangle]

Bro actually needs to calm 💀

[mighty lagoon]

💀

[fallen flare]

Your bullshit is transparent and we can see straight through it. Nobody is seriously into Rhodesia because they "like the camo and gear". It ain't Hugo Boss. You're a provocateur playing out a sick little racist fantasy.

[proper rose]

Ok, that is your opinion

[untold pagoda]

Most chronically online thing said in the arma discord

[arctic gale]

I can use these guys as an OPFOR faction in some upcoming works

[untold pagoda]

Most people that want Rhodesian gear in arma most likely just want to play out a Bush War Op. it’s not some “sick little racist fantasy” it’s an arma Op, people just want variety in their Ops. Just because someone wants the gear of a military group in a game doesn’t mean they agree with the ideals of that group.

[arctic gale]

Probably some Somalian pirates or something

[arctic gale]

Its diversity
Cant have just Asian, North American, and European factions
We need to show our African brothers some love

[proper rose]

That would be cool. I will try to put them in groups and make a proper faction so it is easier to spawn them on the fly. Still learning enfusion

[arctic gale]

Are there premade characters with them?

[proper rose]

Not yet, I have been having some issues with it.

[arctic gale]

Imma have them as Somalian Pirates on Gogland

[arctic gale]

I can show you how, its not too hard

[proper rose]

That would be amazing if you could!

[arctic gale]

I made the Taliban a playable faction using one of my fellow DarkGru developers taliban gear

[arctic gale]

you have time to call? Imma shoot you a friend request

[proper rose]

Yeah

[ember lichen]

this is like that vice report where the dude tried to portray all the guys fighting for germany in a ww2 reenactment as "nazis"

bro just made some camos he wanted to share, and steve-e is making up a battle to fight

[hot dome]

Reaching

[fallen flare]

Not at all. Zimbabwe camo is almost exactly the same thing. If it was really about "the camo"... then it would be a Zimbabwe camo mod, instead of a mod named after a bunch of racists.

[hot dome]

Still reaching for something that isn’t there homie ngl

[lavish mica]

How about we all drop it if you don’t like the mod don’t download it

[hot dome]

Fr

[lavish mica]

Ez Pz

[iron lark]

Great job on representing the weapons and camos from that time period.
Dont let those obscure opinions pull you down.

[proper rose]

Thanks!

[untold pagoda]

Yeah don’t listen to negative voices. No matter what a modder does, someone’s going to find a reason to complain

[pallid path]

There’s a WW2 mod that includes Nazis yet I dont see you complaining about that

As much as both of these armies were ethnically offensive, there’s people that just like their guns and gear

[fallen flare]

Here is Plekter litterally complaining because the mod with Swastikas in it was removed from workshop: #enfusion_workshop message

[pallid path]

I said YOU

but thats also good, they should replace it with the iron cross as its a little bit more acceptable

[fallen flare]

This is a thread for this mod. Sorry for not complaining about some unrelated mod here for you.

[pallid path]

I know, I’m just saying there are other offensive items and this is like a cautious sign

[leaden turret]

I see him asking what happened to the mod but not complaining about it.

[eternal kite]

This mod is not a issue @fallen flare, we do understand it is a sensitive topic to some/many, but yet this mod only represents the clothing and not the facts that happened in the past, if that was the case: yes you are right. And like the german 1940-1945 uniforms mods that are allowed this also counts for this mod, would it have (deliberately) be used for gore and banned logo's like swastika what some German clothing mods had: different story.

[ivory light]

bruh, why would they call it Zimbabwe if the nation was not Zimbabwe at the time?, wouldnt that literally be an insult to the nation that Rhodesia became?

ah yes, lets make a mod for the Bundeswehr and then proceed to put them in nazi gear and see how that goes. Better yet, lets grab all those confederate outfits make a mod based for them for scenario's involving them and then call it the US Army uniform mod.

[eternal kite]

@ivory light let's end the discussion here about this, I took it up the moderators team and reactions were like i posted before, let's get back on the topic of this mod to give feedback/compliments/suggestions 👍

[ivory light]

good enough for me, just wanna see more cold war gear and equipment instead of post 2000's.

[quasi lagoon]

Now that I think of it it is just a mod, I was prolly taking it a bit too serious

[restive geyser]

Yes

[summer tangle]

Shit yeah

[untold pagoda]

Honestly yes. Anything thats not another freaking M4 variant is a win in my book

[ivory light]

that cold war aesthetic of everyone trying everything out pre-2000's is just Chefs kiss Immaculate, once standardization set in everything gets boring for me so i much prefer arma going back to cold war than to go into the future or the present.

[peak pagoda]

Is this from here

@proper rose

[mighty lagoon]

What the heli

[peak pagoda]

Fr

[shy shadow]

The wildcat

[sweet helm]

What mod

[proper rose]

No, that is the AW159 from the Rhodesian armes forces group I belive.

[leaden turret]

Is that what the mod is called?

[proper rose]

It is not listed for people to download as of now I belive

[leaden turret]

Dang

[hard trellis]

Yo how are things with the mod

[small warren]

@proper rose you’re doing an awesome job and I can’t wait to fight against enemies wearing this (mostly AI) with my Spartan Company boys

[arctic belfry]

Is this mod still up?
