nice skyhawks and pucaras
Pucara! Great aircraft, would love to see that as part of this for ArmA 2. Following with interest!
To NZDF and Nickeleye:
Skyhawk model is from an argentine guy who is making his own model using some parts obtained by Colonel _Klonk A4F, while the Pucara is completely his stuff started from scratch.
Need some improvemnets/enrichment in textures and weapons, but the work is quite completely done.
We need some help making british troops and pilots...
Do you have time or anyone to help us ?
Thanks for your positive feedback guys.
Last minute update:
Sea King S-61 of argentine ARMADA esquadrilla de helicopteros in two tone green camo and armed with two mk46 torpedoes.
Konyo is working very well making three version of the Sea King for our mod:
SH-3D Royal Navy armed with torpedoes, SH-3D RAF or RN Commando transport, S-61R Argentine Armada both with and without torpedoes.
Depicted an example of the argentine armada in two tone green camo, the same of the two examples wich made a daring rescue mission on Pebble island at the beginning of June 1982.
Looking promising. Is there any chance of a few screenshots of the cockpit and cargo area of the s61?
As you mentioned your looking for British stuff thought I'd mention these two threads (albeit they're a bit old)

There are two types of ships in this world.... Submarines and TARGETS
Hi gents,
again some nice pics from Konyo about the argentine S-61R Sea King:
Here you can appreciate better the two tone green camo than replacd on some examples the standard US. Navy white livery.
Once the argentine flag is added and the markings are placed another step is done for the mod.

Well done Konyo
Well, there are the BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) addons out there too. I did not download/play/test those personally, but from the screenshots it looks like a solid base for improvement (textures/materials are rather minimalistic); they have some rare 70's/80's British stuff

Of those, only the Bedford MJ was used in the Falklands War (actually they were probably Bedford MKs since we only started converting the trucks to diesel in 1981; but they look the same). The rest would be of no use to this mod.
The only armoured fighting vehicles that Britain had in the Falklands were 9 CVR(t) from B squadron, Blues and Royals (4 Scimitars, 4 Scorpions and a Samson). There was also a Centurion BARV and a CET or two, but there's not not much use for those in ArmA. Fox, Ferret and FV430 were never deployed during the conflict, and Chieftain MBTs were certainly never sent there.
Otherwise, there were Land Rovers (Series III 109, 1/2 ton Lightweight and the 101FC), Volvo BV 202s and the Bedford MKs I mentioned before, plus towed weapons like the Rapier, 105 Light Guns etc. AFAIK the rest of the land vehicles used by the UK in the conflict were mostly cargo loaders and tractors like Eager Beavers etc.
