SEB Nam Pack 2.0

[Eviscerator]

well 40mb isnt that much if you think about it, take winter nogojev for example(38mb), you get an island and some retextured troops/vehicles, with the pack you get a much larger island and scores and scores of brand new units and vehicles, and weapons, so it isnt that too unreasonable a download, i have a 56k myself and ill have to download the release version to overwrite any beta versions and im not worried

I'm gonna take a stab at a CH-46 Sea Knight....? No.....oh well, i'll get back to you on that one.

Looks nice, but is it gonna be in the pack?

wont be in this pack, maybe in an air module in the form of a modified ballistics CH-46 (like the OH-6 in this pack)

[Eviscerator]

while you boys are arguing over how to spend your time, nip over to the OFPNAM site, which looks like it'll be a decent site for getting missions for the pack, theres also a handy litle clock so you can agonisingly count down the time while we pla..'beta test' the pack

Was the CH-46 in the NAM

[Vyper]

Indeed it was, haven't had a good look but the pic attatched shows the back end of one.

It was used in basically the same role as the CH-46 was...never really for assult (to my knowledge) but occasionally for medivac.....so yea, it was.

The Chinook was certainly in Vietnam.

It was used in retieving other downed Helos. Their are a couple of books out, about Marine Force Recon, lots of stories about chinooks being used for insertion and extraction of Force Recon teams.

the USMC's CH-46(sea knight) did pretty much the same job as the army's CH-47(chinook), its been the USMC's medium to heavy lift helo since the early 60's

The mission of the CH-46E Sea Knight helicopter in a Marine Medium Helicopter (HMM) squadron is to provide all-weather, day/night, night vision goggle (NVG) assault transport of combat troops, supplies, and equipment during amphibious and subsequent operations ashore. Troop assault is the primary function and the movement of supplies and equipment is secondary. Additional tasks are: combat and assault support for evacuation operations and other maritime special operations; over-water search and rescue augmentation; support for mobile forward refueling and rearming points; aeromedical evacuation of casualties from the field to suitable medical facilities.

a couple of comparisons between the CH-46 and CH-47 as they are commonly confused:

I've been following this topic since page 22, at which time I said "wow, that's a lot of pages for one topic". I am very impressed with the work done so far. Hell I love the original nam pack. But one question, when do you guys see yourselves finishing this pack?

I know what goes into this kind of work... it takes a while. I'm currently helping someone write a 3d game engine. It's a long and toilsome process.

Keep up the good work.

Reply # 1000 :wow:

Nice comparison Evis. Learn something everyday around here.

I thought that they were the same bird.

[CODY2622]

reply no. 1001. This is truly a day in which no one will forget the nam pack2. I don't think there is more than 500 on any other site ever.
By the way. The SEB nam pack2 will be too big. I'd rather try myself to edit the existing models and have them be cool. BUT, I don't know how to use oxygen so I will not even attempt this.
  ;D :gunman: Lend a helpong hand to kill a few terrorist at my site which is not up yet but will be soon. I will put it up later.

I'd say next Friday to be safe for the release of the just the SEB Nam pack 2.0. Over the weekend all of us worked on fixing bugs, refining textures here and there, adding last minute weapons, etc, and trying to test the heck out of it to make sure it all works.

So to be safe, I'd say next Friday... just to make sure. Now what get's released after that is up in the air. There will be MORE than enough to keep anyone busy for months to come. People will complain about the lack of fixed wing units and custom armor, no ARVN units to speak of, the list goes on. But I have to say that, if this pack doesn't knock yer socks off, then you are a very jaded individual

One of the things that ST has implemented is increased dispersion for all of the weapons, along with normal dispersion mags if anyone wants to use them. This has to be played to be appreciated. It is just amazing. It feels like every firefight you read about. Lots of lead flying, not as many deaths, more injuries... it really feels "right". If anyone here plays GR, the use of suppresion in that game is pretty close to what this feels like. Very few 500m headshots... lots of bullets hitting around you,  and a few lucky hits that will injure you more likely than killing you.

The helicopters are very well done for you folks that are rotor heads. I haven't played with them that much, but from what little I've played with them, you'll be happy. The Loaches are my favorite

The units... very detailed, and beautiful to look at compared to the old pack. The new Special Forces and the Seals are my favorite. Lot's of time spent on them and it shows

The weapons are also well done, with Evis and Joe doing quite a bit of work as well for them. Really nicely done. For the most part photos were used for textures when available, but a few of them had to have custom textures made, but in the end, the overall difference isn't that noticable. Now the weapons sounds will probably be debated, but they sound fine to me.

I just have to say that I think SelectThis has done, and is doing an amazing job organizing all of these addons and figuring out how to get them all in a cohesive pack.

I've been using Devil's Guard's and Nixers missions for testing, and they work really well since they all use different units. If you've played them with Nam pack 1, try them again once this is released I may actaully play the 1969 campaign now.

I just had to do a write up on this. You will not be disappointed after downloading the 40+ megs.

just a tad bit longer.
