United States Forces 1980s

Description
ATTENTION: This mod is obsolete. There is a way better mod with more & authentic content, for LESS dependencies. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2316343124
This mod will no longer be maintained nor updated.

Features:
Cold War era US Military faction
*Early 1980's (1982-1985) era U.S. infantries and groups in regular woodland, winter, and CBRN outfits
*Late 1980's (1985-1989) era U.S. infantries and groups in regular woodland, winter, and CBRN outfits
*Literally no actual content, since this is a faction config built off of inheritance

Contact DLC needed if you use the MOPP units.

This is a simple faction config I made using Delta Hawk's BDU mod, CUP, NIArms, and RHS US & GREF vehicles, and therefore requires these mods. All credits for the contents go to these respective mods' developers, and I take no credit for any content used in the making of the factions, all I did was just compile the equipments and vehicles together to create a faction.

This is literally just a single faction config file in a pbo file lol.



Probable FAQ's:
Q: Why are the vehicle origins all a mix? Couldn't you use all the vehicles from either CUP or RHS mods? And about the equipments too?
A: In some cases one mod had a better quality vehicle or had more/better/more-polished features, than the same vehicle in the other mod. It's hard to describe but go play around with the individual mods.

Q: Could you add ____?
A: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh idk


Future Plans:
**Add more spec ops
*Add desert units

does it include fighter jets for america?

Although I did mention this mod will not be further maintained, I'll still cook a new version up that utilizes S&S:NW for those that would still prefer that :)

Any planes to change out DHI with S&S New Wave?
binber  [author] 21 May, 2021 @ 7:20am 
Good point, I forgot about the radio packs DHI added. They'll be in with the upcoming update along with SOG-PF DLC dependent version's release
Not A Robot 20 May, 2021 @ 5:25pm 
I noticed the RTOs still used the Contact radios but DHI now has a great looking PRC-77.

Good job!

Loving the new CDLC, I'll probably get a SOG DLC-dependent version out
Not A Robot 11 May, 2021 @ 1:43am 
The new SOG DLC has some great looking M17 respirators. Any chance we might get a version that uses the SOG DLC similar to how you made a version that uses GM? Also if you do decide to add the M17, I know this may differ from your view of this mod, but adding the USGI gloves in the NVG slot combined with the M17 respirator gives off that MBC "look."

@Gonzo-GT @MilkShake Actual

Thanks for the link, but I'm wanting to keep the mod dependencies to a minimum (NIArms is going to be removed in upcoming update for a reference) and at the same time, I'd like to keep MOPP units so even though I'm not a fan of the vanilla MOPP gear for the time period as well, it will stay :(

I may yet make a variant of the mod that has a -massive- dependency list but attempts at a highly accurate depiction of US forces in the era and in that case, I'd use the suits from the CBRN mod and the M17 gas mask from Unsung and the M40 gas mask mod for late-80s units.

@Not A Robot,

Yep, an update's long overdue and I'm happy to incorporate it in a bit :)

Excited to see an update to this mod, especially with the new CUP updates since there is now a nomex flight suit along with a proper air crew survival vest.
