Members Ssnake Posted April 10 Members Share Posted April 10 I've never seen on an actual Abrams. The image shows a version with 105mm gun, so M1, or M1IP. At the time they had the MERDC-pattern, usually, which is quite different from this one. This here looks like a late Wehrmacht pattern where they lathered some green paint on the yellow factory primer and called it a day. Maybe someone thought it'd be fun to see how it might look like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart666 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Abrams when they were delivered from the factory, came in a colour called 'Forest Green'. Then when the maintainers had the chance, the vehicle would then be repainted in MERDC. In photographs, there was often a significant lag, largely because MERDC was seasonal based. It seems it fell out of favour because units got hacked off having to repaint all their vehicles every few months. So, its my guess, they avoided painting them till it was the same season as the rest of the unit had the same scheme, and then repainted them so they all looked uniform. Maybe this was more common in the CONUS rather than West Germany, I dont know. This looks like something that was cooked up for an exercise. Id guess its probably somewhere like Fort Knox (or maybe even Fort Irwin?), and someone painted it up with mud over the Forest green delivery scheme, just so it wouldnt stand out completely against the background.I do know there is a picture in Zalgoa's new osprey book 'Tanks from the Iron curtain 1975-1990' showing 2 M60's in a winter exercise painted with a whitewash scheme. Conceivably this is something like that. it would be interesting to learn more details of where this scheme comes from to research it, but I think it fair to say, it was probably a one off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart666 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 'Another M1 from the 1/11th ACAV at Reforger 83. These tanks were adorned with tree branches and patches of mud as a deception'. Nice schemes on here actually. https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/coldwar/us/m1_abrams.php?amp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamfritz Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I've seen actual Abrams tanks. When I lived in Pittsburgh there was an Army detachment that had 4 M-60A3s. They were replaced, 2 at a time, by IPM-1 Abrams tanks. I have blurry 110 photos of them somewhere. They're surprisingly ... flat? Short? Yeah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apocalypse 31 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 (edited) Templates for the BMP-2_2P, BMP-2_turrets, and T-72B3_T-90 Edited October 11 by Apocalypse 31 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSnake79 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Well, I uploaded the T72B3 one. But its going to be a bit on the BMP2 templates, they exceed the max file size for the server(double), and must be edited down. And I'm up to my eyeballs in other work atm, so I will get to this when I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSnake79 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Ok HELMET, I think I've uploaded everything you asked for. Not sure which infantry template has the chest rig your looking for on it. So I just uploaded a few different ones I found. Let me know if it is not in this selection, and if not, what the file name is of the texture, if you know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj.Hans Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Two requests: 1. Modern Woodland, Winter, and Desert skins for the M901 ITV that can be used for more modern scenarios instead of the default MERDC. 2. A modern Woodland or a single color all over tan scheme for the M113AS4. I am debating using it in some scenarios as a substitute for the AAV-7P and would appreciate if I could rig it up to look a bit more US. Particularly for around the 1990/1991 time frame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj.Hans Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 A while back someone figured out how to make certain vehicle components invisible... Just curious but any chance we could get one of those mods to remove the empty protective cage from the Leopard1V and repaint it into a Leopard1A1A1? Would fit in better with the Cold War stuff I typically do than the Chilean scheme that it comes with! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have NATO 3-color and Desert sand versions of the M901 that I did a few years ago. They're frankenskins made by cobbling together pieces of the stock eSim FISTV and M113 skins, but I think they turned out fine. I can upload them. Sorry, no winter version. Edit: I see that for the desert version, I just copied over the OPFOR skin, so you already have that. Just copy the two files from the desert/red folder to wherever you want to use them. NATO frankenskin appears as below. Edited October 24 by Splash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind, can I also have the Leopardo 2E turret top and the Eagle IV template? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
