Be All You Can Be: U.S. Army Unit Pack

[AnthonyBoscia]

Merry Christmas, all. These are U.S. Army units from about 1983 to 2005 during the "Be All You can Be" era. Thanks to Ares to Borg, whose great sounds can be found with the infantry units and the M60. A big thanks to Wyrmshadow: the Bryce videos, the WW1 infantry pack, the modern soldier collection, and especially the Apache model all were all critical in providing the know-how and the props to work in Bryce.

Edit: Merry Christmas yet again eleven years later with updated pictures and new units.

AVIATION

AH-64A Apache: Attack helicopter armed with AGM-114 Hellfire anti-armor missiles, 70mm Hydra rockets, and a 30mm chain gun. The gun is actually slaved to the gunner's helmet in Bryce and follows his head movement. Thanks for the model, Wyrm!
AH-1F Cobra: Upgraded version of the world's first dedicated attack chopper. Armed with TOW missiles, M197 20mm gatling cannon, and 70mm rockets.

AH-6 Little Bird: Light attack chopper for special operations units, armed with two M134 Miniguns.
MH-6 Little Bird: Same bird except carries four soldiers and no armament.
UH-60A Black Hawk: Transport, medevac and all-purpose helicopter. Custom sounds.​

Great set Anthony! Your animations are definetly improving! Creative animations too. Nice touch not just making every soldier a white guy. Thanks for the M60A3. Been wanting one of those for ages.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Great pack, I really like that Delta Operator.

 

[Jerry'sGoldfish]

nice to see our beloved american forces around...

 

[Manny Kant]

First...Woot! Especially for the helos.

I haven't been able to test any of the units yet, but infantry previews look like they pick up a bit of grain. (Not a deal breaker for me.) Is this just me or maybe a preview issue, or is it persistent?

 

[Redback]

Wow! that came out of nowhere Me Like!

 

[clamel]

Oh my my,
these are very good.

The helos are outstanding. Just look at the death of that Black Hawk
Can´t say I have seen anything similar....

The soldiers embarking the choppers is highest standard, Sad to know that the Apaches guns are synced with the pilots helmet moves. ????

Can anyone see this in-game (monster screen 60 inch or bigger I guess)....
If I only had one of those

Highest regard to you Anthony

Excellent pack Anthony!

You make lot frames in animation, that's cool point. And I personally like Patton's death effects

Excellent! Like your new ideas, very creative

 

[AnthonyBoscia]

Thanks, guys!

You make lot frames in animation, that's cool point. And I personally like Patton's death effects

The extra frames help with some of the animations but they do make the .flc files very large. The Black Hawk drop uses Flicster's max frame count.
The flames on the M60 are a very careful, old fashioned cut'n'paste. I'm not sure who the original creator was, but he's much better at making fire than I am.
