Taliban clothe change?

[ComradeHX]

Here is a nice picture of what Taliban can accquire: East German raindrop camo.

I would like to have this implemented as it would possibly make taliban blend in with surroundings better(or not...) and look better (unlike what we have now).

I found these pictures here: DDR Rain Drop Camo Exports

So, are these do-able or will they look bad with lower quality textures?

[GeorgRavioli]

This could have some potential, but I'd prefer it be only implemented for some kits.

[Rudd]

here is a picture of a talib wearing odd shoes, I think this should be implemented


Can we have a bit more than one picture please?

I heard they were heavily exported to third world countries and shipped as raw material to the Northern Alliance in Afganistan in the 90's during the post-Communist civil war. (from knowledgeable comrades) It only makes sense for Taliban to be able to easily accquire them, right?

Anyway, as many picture (including the one you posted) shows... Taliban has all sorts of camoflages, we can implement a few into the game for different kits.

That Chinese AK chest rig is also a good thing to put in (from personal experience, they originally hold 4 mags only, but they can be soaked in water with mag shells stuffed in to be able to easily hold 2 mags each pouch, making it hold 8 in total).

looking at that photographer's pictures (some nice ones btw) http://www.stevemccurry.com/main.php looks like he was in afghan a couple of times in the 90s and 2006, and he got a close up shot of Massoud, so I am starting to suspect the above pictures might be northern alliance? the first picture is labelled as /Mujihadeen/mujinstrichtarn.jpg which is rather odd, I'm not sure that is a talib since the black turban itself isn't the primary symbol, but the way it is tied. Need more sources.

Rudd, i doubt thats for real what he wears. He's probably got some foot problem which requires he keep them aired out

[dtacs]

We'll most likely see an update to the Taliban kit geometries since its pretty important but you have to remember its alot of work. Of course the core changes would simply be a woodland M65 for every few kits, those headwraps they wear and the Type 56 chest rig (the Chinese one)

Insurgent ones are coming in and thats the first update they've had in awhile.

I have heard the Taliban wear sandals in the mountains.... It would not surprise me that if this guy really wears that into battle. Theres a movie out there where some army guy explains it better...Cant find it tho...

ma point is that we see too many shallow suggestions

*picture*

"add this please"

instead of more reasoned arguements, such as extracts from sources or at the very least "my friend in teh Army says"

there are dozens of locked threads on this forum that go like this

*picture of m4 with lazer, UGL, EOTECH, handgrip, silencer, light, blah blah"

"add this please, the army use them"

the pictures don't give any indication of how COMMON it is.

Personally I wouldn't have throught the taliban would be fans of camo most of the time since their similarity to civilians in dress is one of their advantages.

[Wakain]

a bit taliban love would be wonderful, but I doubt the need for NVA raindrop patterns. the odd erdl military jacket or vest would be good enough to me.

btw I'm looking forward to the kit updates for the insurgents, perhaps some of those will be used as well for the taliban?

Taliban will look alot better in 0.95.

That is all.

Well, it is cool as long as the have some sort of camo.

As for the rig, it should probably be the Type 81 chest rig (I have one made in 1983) due to Type 81 rig being 4-celled(can hold a maximum of 8 mags) instead of 3-celled(holds a maximum of 6 mags).

That's why I visit these forums.

The warm fuzzy feeling

[Unit3d_Kill3r]

I think it should be in a marksman kit or maybe a "Special" RPG kit, where they can truly blend in and make it hard for the Allied forces to spot.

Great Idea and fully workable.

Yes, I needs a Taliban in a moomoo with mismatched shoes. You could have one of his buddies have the other shoes. They could be the comic relief. Jk

Can't wait for .95

[ankyle62]

good ideas, good luck doing it.




btw your avatar creeps me out.

[Redamare]

IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR EVER ....... its not Just reclothe its mainly remodel the kit dynamics ... every kit has RPGS sticking out the back and Granadeer holders on the chest.... also still the medics have paddles and engineer has some sort of GAs tank on his back :L ... i say the next small kit model pack thingy should be for insergents
