WW2 SAS LRDG Jeep Willys (v1)

Description
A custom composition offering a WW2-era Willys MB Jeep, kitted out to resemble a vehicle that might be used by the SAS or LRDG. I used a miniature from the Bolt Action tabletop game as reference. Includes a couple of usable weapons, but no ammo (you can adjust the cargo of many of the objects in the editor).

Shouts to Anytature's awesome modern custom compositions that inspired me to give this a try, check 'em out:

If you enjoy or use this composition, please leave some love, and check out my SP scenarios in my Workshop!

Please note:
* This Willys Jeep is available in the Editor in "Groups (F2) > Compositions" ... assuming you have the required mods, this will not show up as a separate addon in the Arma 3 Launcher.
* Ensure you have turned off vertical mode and surface snapping when placing, and be sure to place on a flat surface (feel free to test it in the VR map) or you may encounter bugs
* Some items appear out of place while driving the vehicle in first person view, they appear normal when viewing in third person or while riding as a passenger or gunner.
* Due to the naming convention and how the items are attached, you will need to go in and manually change the init of the Jeep itself (sasJeep) to include the correct item names (sasGear), the easiest is just to add _1 to both the jeep and to all references to it and the gear in the init field.
* Composition includes only the Jeep, the units in the screenshots are not included.

Any chance of the dependency being updated to the new ifa3 mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2648308937

@Thire™
There used to be an Austin included in either IFA or FoW, I think due to licensing or some such it was removed. I have heard scuttlebutt a proper WW2 CDLC is forthcoming, not sure of the location, but with the recent Western Sahara DLC (so disappointed to see it's set in the Arma-verse, will still def check it out as I liked A2 PMC) I think it's unlikely it'll be what we're wishing for. Definitely give my SAS/LRDG missions a go if you want to see how close I was able to get. If someone were to release proper vehicles and gear in the future, I would definitely give it some love in the editor.

Yea, the British need more love. I've recently commissioned someone to make a Austin K5 for my unit. I might ask for one of those after a jeep with a K mount.

I really wish there would be a proper mod or DLC released for the SAS/LRDG with everything from the headgear to the Chevys and double-mounted Vickers guns.

That Keffiyeh headgear must've disappeared with the WW2 Units Mod, any idea if anything else is still around?

You and me both! Hope you enjoy. I have a SP/COOP scenario SAS Ops in Libya (remake of a mission from H&D2 Sabre Squadron) nearly ready for release which uses these vehicles and tries to create some proper SAS loadouts. Stay tuned.

I've been looking for LRDG & SAS units for Arma3 for years! A huge Thanks for these, I'll try them out once I get my PC setup running in a couple of weeks.

You and me both, I really wish someone would release a proper LRDG Willys or GMC w/ dual lewis guns and like a .50 cal, but this was the best I could manage with what's out there. Enjoy!
