    Good looking reskin, and the first ACU release I believe
    Original OFP-er and 'old' on here, with little to no idea what's going on these days, so go easy on me. Cheers mate!

    No, the only flag on the uniform is worn on the upper portion of the right pocket. The left sleeve is wear the soldier's unit insignia is to be found, which in this case is:

    Just in the appropriate ACU color pattern.
    Ok, thanks. In the screenshots I'm mistaking (what I now
    realize is) a bare velcro patch on the left upper arm for some
    kind of "ACU coloured" insignia. I thought it was odd to wear
    a bright and a subdued flag at the same time - but that's not
    what they're doing.

    I'll download your pack and have a proper look at everything
    later. Right now my free time all goes on my own addon
    making attempts and building a website for them, but I do like
    these "insignia and reorganization" mods you're doing since
    that sort of detail appeals to me.

    Yeah, that's what I figured you were talking earlier. Where insignia is concerned, that upper flap of the pocket is where skill tabs (Ranger, sapper, special forces, honor guard, president's hundred) go, or, if your deployed some soldiers like putting blood type and any special medical patchs on there. (IE. No-Pen = No Penicillan, NKA = no Known Allergies)

    Re-reading through my readme, I accidently mispelled Ft.Bragg as Ft. Bradd and I'm sure there are several other grammatical errors.

    Glad you appreciate the detail, Faulkner. My skill is quite limited, but I'd rather have all the little details I can cram in there to give it that level of authenticity.

    It doesn't overwrite the existence soldiers, you'll find these units in the mission editor under BLUFOR - 4th Psychological Operations Group.



    That's where you find it, thanks for the download too.

    great job... glad someone made psyopers for this game.

    not to nitpick, but a few minor details about psyop for anyone curious... at least from my humble experience: we don't have officers under the rank of captain in psyop (to my knowledge). I assume due to the great level of responsiblity (and potential effect) that the detachment officer has... and its an ARSOF officer position. Not sure, but i think future psyop LTs are stuck into accession branches until CPT qualified.

    And though I'm not as certain about this one, the people I've known in 4th POG wear the USASOC patch on their shoulder which is your forum user picture... maybe they were in training or something, but its been my understanding that 4thpog wears usasoc.

    The reserve components of psyop wear the USACAPOC patch which is the one you used in your addon. I personally prefer and am glad that you used the capoc patch, though, because that one is uniquely psyop. And because I wear it in 2nd POG.

    Perhaps I may be mistaken as I'm not in 4thPOG, but this is what I've seen in my personal experience.

    These comments are not meant to be critical, though. I am glad to see these units in arma and think you did a wonderful job.

    Now if only someone would make a psyop speaker truck hmmwv addon so I could blare death metal music at unsuspecting commie bastards....

    4th Group doesn't wear the USASOC patch, they wear the patch I gave them. CA guys on Bragg, that's different, I've seen them wear both and I don't know why. I have never seen anyone from 4th wearing USASOC. I'm in USASOC, and I just haven't seen it.

    I didn't know that about the officers, but I think you might be mistaken about there being no Lieutenants. Possibly not in a tactical team, but, I will change it to a Captain anyways.

    I would much rather have someone point out little things that can be changed, so I can make it just that much better.

    When the tools come out, I have a list of Humvees that I'm going to make. First on my list is some proper Signal Corps trucks and antennas, then the speaker trucks, and possibly some humvees modified in the manner that we have modified ours.

    the bragg CA guys shoudl probably start to wear the 95th CA brigade patch. http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/CivilAf....ade.htm The active-duty CA element just tripled in size and is no longer just former SF guys- but before the transition I seem to remember some of their command staff wearing USASOC.

    As for lieutenants in SOF, it's hard to do but it happens. Last I heard they were gonna make it easier to let them in- sometimes they're not necessarily psyop or CA guys but maybe intel or medical or cross-listed. It's not rocket science to figure out that they're hard up and will take what they can get
