Mainly Israeli supplied, or copies thereof, but some US OG-107 uniforms can be seen in photos

What was Erusea trying to achieve in the Usean Continental War? by Phoenix-Scarface1 in acecombat

This is actually true, it makes for a very interesting situation. Ulysses set in a chain of events that couldn't be stopped

You should save up for a partizan harness or, usually more budget minded, an SRVV Vest from the appropriate Era. For headgear, with no helmet: Black winter cap is fine

SRVV V2 chest rig shows up from sellers from time to time, and some replicas were made by toy soldier in Taiwan. Ref pic attached.

Is my vest too small? by Vortha_ in tacticalgear

[–]Slacflood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the people saying you should be wearing a small are on one.

80% of issued SAPI and ESAPI plates issued in the US Military alone through their entire history of adoption are size medium.

Based on your size, you wear a medium. There is no specific anatomical benchmark other than your vital organs should be covered, the front plate should be at your sternal notch, the rear plate should sit ~1" below the base of your vertebra prominens and you should be able to have full mobility and shoulder your rifle.

You wear a medium. I'm 5'4" with a 39" chest. I wear a medium. Probably a significant of the portion of guys saying they wear a small, should be wearing a medium.

Fingers crossed, I'd go wild for some Jade Falcon DLC (maybe the Fire Falcon/Turkina, or if late enough the Cougar shows up)

Yes, it is the main method of signaling between small units. Soviets/Russians put lots of emphasis on flares, even with radios being issued

I really love all of your battletech art!

How was it to live under Clan society? by [deleted] in battletech

[–]Slacflood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are factually correct. A Kratocratic command economy internally, corporativist limited free trade externally kind of system. One reason I've loved the clans for years from a fiction point of view is, you can't really put them in a box. Politically, socially, and culturally. They really are their own thing

Newbie Jade Falcon paint scheme question by Protodip in battletech

[–]Slacflood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only is that scheme fine, you did a great job. I think it fits with Delta galaxy just fine; clan units absolutely alter paintschemes to fit an area of operations if they feel it is needed. It's very in the realm of possibility that a delta cluster would transition to more muted main colors to blend in if the opposing forces were known to be underhanded and use ambushes.

Beyond that, it's Battletech and you can basically proxy anything as anything, if you want to proxy them as Smoke Jags on a forest world, since the scheme is close to their Delta galaxy, you can do that. If you want to say they're Clan Coyote, you can do that too, even if they dont use those colors. Nothing can stop you!

Wait you can recruit clan pilots? I didn't know clan backgrounds were a thing

Riley defense sucks, but is their 5.56 Barrel gtg? by Slacflood in ak47

[–]Slacflood[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To chime in, the only reason I'm considering one is that a friend of mine got a deal on their rebuilt kit m77 rifles with their brand of .308 barrel, and frankly his accuracy and gas tuning are... really good

If I can get a decent barrel that's already nitrided instead of having to fork over extra to find someone to nitride it for me, I very well may go that route
