Desert Combat Pack

[Storm Grunt]

Looking Good Ares! I have tried doing some color conversions myself and the results are terrible.I take it that its not as easy as just changing the palette? Any tips you could give me would be much appreciated...

Any plans on doing the AH-1 Cobra? I'd love to see that one done.

 

[Ares de Borg]

The Cobra is on my list (Iran has a few of them).

Now what the heck did we sell such an awesome piece of hardware like that to them for? Some times I have to wonder what the US Govt is Thinking...

Good to hear its on your list. They provided me some close air support during desert storm. They look very menacing circling around you at 50ft... some were desert colored some weren't. A lot of our gear was that way just didn't have enough time to repaint them all...

Do you load these back into Poser to re-color them?

Could you make a desert helicopter? I've seen those and they have these missles and they are kinda intimidating when I see them fly in formation...not kinda they are darn startling and such.

They got the old J-version that the US sold them before the Islamic Revolution.

I use Flicster to extract the storyboards, PaintShop Pro and Photoshop to recolor the units..

 

[Storm Grunt]

Yea, ours looked better than that version...

 

[William GBTW]

Yeah I didn't want the Arab one.

 

[Ares de Borg]

Iranians are not Arabs, btw.

Desert camo on a helicopter is to hide them from enemy aircraft flying at a greater height. Since the US has full air superiority they can paint their choppers low-vis grey to make them harder to spot for ground troops.

iranians are persians, they get VERY mad if you call the arab.

can the iranians use their cobras? i know they cant use their F-14s anymore cause we never taught them how; they used a few in the Iran-Iraq war, but not anymore.

 

[William GBTW]

I thought he said Iraqis; I know Iranians aren't Persians.

No, they are.

Something interesting to read.

Don't underestimate them. They aren't a bunch of cavemen, you know.
Both the F-14 and the Cobras are still in service. The problem are spare parts and the lack of advanced training.

 

[William GBTW]

You should add the F5Desert from TCW.

 

[Spacer One]

Ares: If you could, put the hum vee on the re-color list...Id like to have one available...I see it being useful in the near future

 

[William GBTW]

Also I'm working on Desert Paratrooper.

 

[Ares de Borg]

Spacer: Okay, I'll do it.
Will: There is a desert paratrooper already, check the unit threads.

 

[William GBTW]

Oh...okay.

 

[Ares de Borg]

Will, would you like to take Roman Legions Request and recolor the Legionary? I don't think I'll have time for this, so if you want to do it, I'd be thankful.

 

[William GBTW]

I'll try my best!

 

[Storm Grunt]

Ares, could you add balou's modern inf unit to your list as well? I will need it in the near future for a scenario...

 

[Ares de Borg]

Ok, Stormie... it may take a few days though. Maybe next weekend.
