75th Ranger Regiment ACU Units (WIP of course xD)

[Binkowski]

Well, those of you who know, and don't know, ArmA2 has only US Marines! No US Army units unfortunately. So I'm going to release more of my ACUPAT units for ArmA2, at first it's just going to be the 75th Ranger Regiment, maybe a later release will come with regular infantry. Not sure yet, anyway. I've been working on the textures for these, and just waiting for BIS to release the editing tools so I can really start working on the models etc.

I haven't added any patches yet, but the 75th will go here. Which is why I'll be using the tan camo, I may add the IOTV at a later point, maybe the IBA. Not sure yet.

The USMC Engineer uses the standard US Army MICH Helmet for some odd reason so a retex wouldnt look too out of place if it was on that unit.

I have noticed that the DMR unit in this game uses the ACH model helmet for some reason, not sure why.

The Rangers are starting to wear multicam. They are supposed to be fully outfitted by 2010 I believe.

Ah, maybe I'll be doing these in multicam! Thanks monty.

Are you going to change the body armor? Army doesn't use the MTV. Only Marines, cause we find it acceptable to wear body armor that will decapitate us in an explosion.

Rangers don't wear the standard Army issue interceptor body armor. I'll get some pics of what they're wearing now and post it up here.

UPDATE:
RLCS (Ranger Load Carrying System) is what's currently being used. It's basically just molle in ranger green. It's alot like the MTV.

@monty67t
No offence, but is there any source for the switch to Multicam? This discussion was in the military forums in 2007. Soon after that, there was a statement from the US Army that the swap to another uniform isn't gonna happen. The swap would be tooo expensive.

I saw some Ranger-Multicam pics too, but they were from a FCS evaluation.

A complete uniform inclusive the Crye Multicam Chassis and the Battlebelt is priced over 3000$ for a private person. Way to expensive for the Army, even if they are an elite unit.

If you have a trustfull source, i would be pleased to read it. Would be intersting. Thanks

@Binkowski
Thanks for your affort. Look at this topic on militaryphotos.net . The Rangers have there own color for the 2nd Line of Gear: Ranger Green.
They wear bodyarmors from Eagle CIRAS to Eagle Chestrigs.

Would be great, if the Rangers would realy look like US Army Rangers.

Looking forward to this. Only Marines (they are good too) is just a little bit boring.

Thanks!

Yeah I'm going to change it. Not going to have the MTV.
