Hi! Saw this post and thought it was high-time to sign up!
I served in the Australian Army for 7 years, RAEME attached to infantry bn and recon/mech regt. Did a 4-month jungle-warfare training tour to RMAF Butterworth with MOUT training in Singapore.
Yep, we use the Steyr and Minimi, both licensed-produced in Australia. Aussie designations: F-88 (Steyr) and F-89 (Minimi). When I discharged (2001) we still used M-79's; the MAG-58 (FN GPMG) was being reintroduced at the section level to provide more hitting power (rumour had it 1 Minimi and 1 MAG-58 per section); 9mm Browning; 66mm M-72 LAW; 84mm Carl Gustav. The Australian Army doesn't train soldiers to use the magazine slot on the F-89 so there aren't really any gripes about the weapon, at least none that I heard. The Steyr is also fairly well liked due to it's light weight and optic sight (just put the target in the black circle and squeeze the trigger). The under-slung grenade launcher was introduced for Timor in 2001. It was being trialled at the time and was rushed into service. The Kiwis had it before us!
A question for the old salts on here: what do you think of repair/recovery units? They could work the same way as ammo units: placed near the damaged/immobilized vehicle for a number of turns and then you get a repaired/recovered, battle ready vehicle. I know the time frame of 3-5 turns isn't realistic. It would be for playability and interest, and if you didn't like it you wouldn't have to use it.
Any thoughts DRG and Mobhack? Also, how do I make icons? I saw a post on here where someone made an AH-56.
Thanks!!
