What's coming up
Hi all,

Glad you're enjoying the mod. The support and positive feedback has been extremely gratifying for the effort put in to it. I'm not lying when I say it's been a year of effort learning to build this content from the ground up.

Lots of questions around what's coming next, so here's what's on the backlog:

1) Complete the infantry offering. I'm learning this all from zero so there's still a few areas for the infantry that I'm figuring out. Expect updates soon that answer to some missing key weapons systems from this period and some optics. Also polish like proper prone reload animations.

2) The next big task after that is tackling vehicles but I'm also a rank amateur when it comes to getting them in game. If anyone has experience and would be game to share their knowledge I'm a willing student.

3) The above two will keep me well busy for the interim but I think there's also some quick wins to be made in offering a little OPFOR pack based on some of the same assets - think a mix of opfor from conflicts in that period and more fictionalised encounters.

4) At some point I'd love to release all the creative assets used to build the pack as a framework or starting point for others. Let me know if you'd be interested.

There are other bits and pieces floating around that I'd love to tackle (more theatre specific equipment, aircraft, late 80s/90s equipment) but they're definitely lower priority than the above and so far out as to not consider being a reality for now. If you're really pining for them I'd recommend giving modding a try. It's quite addictive.

Finally, if you're an accomplished and published mission maker interested in helping create some missions to showcase this content please reach out! I really want to include some exciting scenarios to go out with this mod for users who aren't so editor-savvy.

It is not a full scenario yet (I don't know if I will find the time for it) but here is a quick battle I set up in the editor showing the NBC uniforms. Combat after a tactical nuclear strike is a case I always wanted to make.

2) I'd love to help out with this mod in this aspect, hit me up if you're interested.

4) That would be awesome, especially so for those who want to get into Arma 3 modding without having to dig around for all their information. Maybe include extensive code comments to make it even easier?

2) I can't help you with actual modeling or programming but I can provide historical information to the letter (or number) regarding vehicles and where you can find them. For example, there's a tank in the Swedish Army mod, that I think is a licensed copy of the Centurion, you could use that as a placeholder before making yours. I would recommend working on aircraft first since there's almost none in arma while some ground vehicles already exist.

Hi Dave.
A quick introduction. I created the UK Add on for Cold War Rearmed 2 mod for ARMA 2.
I really like what you have done here, and I want to hand over all the assets (including vehicles) from this add on for you to make use of, as they have just sat on my hard drive here since about 2014.
I have just added you as a friend on steam so we can square this away if you would like.
Cheers

Nick, Andy Bax might be able to help him with the CWR stuff.

Jonny, i already gave this bloke all the models from the CWR2 UK Forces pack. As i said to him though they will need alot of fixing up an reconfiguring.
