What is this mod?

This mod is an extension of the S&S mod (unofficial, but assisted by the original team). It contains unit patches, ranks, and retextures of uniforms to be accurate to the post-Vietnam Cold War era. The mod currently supports uniforms for the following factions:

US Army [US] (1981-1997)
US Air Force [USAF] (1976-1992)
US Navy [USN] (1981-1992)
Panama Defense Forces [PDF] (1985-1990)
Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces [FAR] (1980-present)
Grenadian People's Revolutionary Army [PRA] (1983)

The mod is compatible with the Eden ranks system implemented in S&S, and contains variants of the uniforms with various skill badges.

Some assets used in the screenshots are from other mods, such as Jamie's Basics.

What future plans are there for this mod?

As a mod representing the late Cold War era, I intend on adding desert uniforms and uniforms representative of allied and enemy forces of the United States in future updates. These planned assets include but are not necessarily limited to:

- US Army OG-507 Fatigues
- US Army, Air Force, and Navy desert BDUs, RDF uniforms, and DCUs
- US Navy Deck Crews (OG, BDU, and Utility variants)
- US Navy Ship Caps and Utilities
- US Army/Marine Experimental Patterns (Urban)
- French Uniforms in CCE and Daguet
- Iranian and Iraqi uniforms from the Iran-Iraq War
- Egyptian and Kuwaiti uniforms from the First Persian Gulf War
- ROK Army and Marines uniforms of the 1970s-2000s
- Haitian Army circa 1994
- Nicaraguan factions (?)

There is no estimated completion date for these assets.

Why is it called "Phantom Phixers?"

This mod is the official Sequel to Phantom Phixers: An S&S Expansion.

The F-4 Phantom II, workhorse fighter for the US Air Force, US Navy, and US Marines during the late Cold War Era has a strong culture among its pilots and maintainers. This culture often involves replacing F's with "Ph," and therefore, F-4 Mechanics were known as "Phantom Phixers." The original intent of the progenitor mod was to only add Air Force and Navy uniforms, but expanded while in the concept phase.

Phantom Phixers 1 Compatibility

Phantom Phixers: New Wave is technically compatible with the original Phantom Phixers, but was intended as a standalone mod. For this reason, there are shared assets between both mods, and there will likely be more as both mods are under active development simultaneously. For this reason, I recommend that the mods NOT be loaded together for publicly release scenarios due to possible file conflicts that the mod may create in the future, but it is ultimately your choice and shouldn't cause too much trouble.

Outreach

I'm trying this new thing where I provide updates on my current projects on Discord.

Special Thanks

- Simcardo and Goonworks for adding shoulder support to the BDUs and RDF uniforms (for a nominal fee) and making the original mod
- Remi for playtesting, giving me ideas, helping with screenshots, and generally being the best. <3

That sounds good to me. I was particularly interested in the iran-iraq war uniforms too. There are a lot of uniforms on the workshop that are mostly fine for stand-ins, but some are kind of makeshift, like republican guard uniforms with triangles on them (as unit patches in-game are only featured on one shoulder/the triangle often is too big or small) and IRGC uniforms with the patches are unavailable. Always loved S & S though so I'm looking forward to developments

Correct. The ideas for this mod have been largely encompassed into the 198X series. US Armed Forces: 198X is in development, which will incorporate the majority of the gear featured in this mod.

All, I have added keys to make the uniforms usable in MP.

There are plans to add Marine DCUs, but they're pretty far down the line. I intend on progressing this mod SOMEWHAT chronologically. This means the highest priority is the OG-507 fatigues (1976) and the lowest priority is Haitian Army assets (1994). The Marines didn't receive DCUs until 1993, to give you an idea of when to expect them.
