OPFOR: Republic of Iraq:

-M80 (Iraq) added, based on report from SnipezTheII: Thank you!

Iraqi forces were known to utilize M80 and M90 helmets, which were derivatives of the U.S. M1 helmet. The Iraqi variant was known to be extremely weak and unable to provide proper protection against incoming rounds. Therefore, asset is a retextured CUP M1 with modified attributes (Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M80_helmet_(Iraq); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_M90_helmet; https://www.iraqimilitaria.com/iraqi-helmets).

-Iraqi Ground Forces Squad Leader and Rifleman (AK-47, tan uniform) helmets changed to M80 (Iraq).

-added “joke” image as a poster based on a similar image found on the Half-Life: Firearms “Basrah” map. All due credit to the Half-Life: Firearms team, as well as the source of the original base image:
