Hey Zipuli! I havenīt downloaded your oob yet and havenīt seen anything on it. If you havenīt done it yet, correct the finnish Leo 2A4 armor ratings to the WG oob armors. Last time I checked they were different.

While studying the OOB I noticed that the SA-3 SAM appears to use a T-55 hull whit a SA-3 turret, however the unit is classed as Areal SAM and not SP SAM so it just shows the T-55 hull whit crew around it ingame (looks weird). Anyway this SAM is not an SP version so it should just have the regular icon. This is something that is in the official OOB too.

I just changed the icon to #2900

~95% done... I've had good feedback from testers. I will still add some text files to explain the formations a bit and also some for the units... pics and the OOB itself are done. I think it will take a week before I can post it here! I can see both of you Finland lovers shaking eagerly !
After the release I'll shortly upload some scenarios based on the OOB.

Only problem is that I have no idea how to do a picklist or time to teach myself to do it, so when used against AI it may buy some weird stuff. In test games I've run the AI forces have been OK, but propably it's just luck.

Maybe someone can do that later???

Colour LBM are not an option for encyclpaedia entries. The palette is wrong, and so you will get "swimming" effects if any of the pallete entries use the same entries as the game uses for its smoke etc. colour cycling, if brought up during a game screen.

Any LBM to be used for the game therefore must use the correct B&W palette.

Colour LBM are only used for the intro screens etc outside the game map screens itself, i.e where the palette is not in the process of being cycled for smoke, water etc effects. Those LBM are a fixed set (hint - the ones in there that are already in colour .


Cheers

I have used colour .lbms for some OOB mods and have not had this problem.

Hi Zipuli, I checked your OOB and noticed that where are F-18 Hornets disappeared (at least 2006)? I found them from Encyclopedia but not in OOB itself... Only Hawk was there in Strike Element. Could you fix it?

Nothing is broken... First AG weapons are to be bought for Hornets in around 2010. Now the Hornets perform only anti-fighter-duties. There are plans to buy glide-bombs for the Hornets, and JDAM is propably one of the options.

Default Thank you:)

Thank you Zipuli for all your hard work!

This OOB is like a dream come true for a player that likes to operate with the Finns! A real cultural landmark!

I'm not that big of an expert in Finnish army, but everything looks to be correct in this OOB, at least in modern times. There's many juicy things added like motorcycle scouts and new AGL's with AP-ammunition. Also all kinds of spec ops troops are included now. They're interesting, but don't have that much use in the game IMO. Still a good addition especially fro those who build scenarios. Also the new formations like Jaeger Brigade 05 and Urban Jaegers are very cool and I can't wait to play with them. The hvy snipers and new PzJaeger formations are also worth mentioning.

While I don't have any big complaints, I find the number of FO teams a bit problematic. Especially with Marine Jaegers there's too many FO teams included which makes the formation too expensive to use. This might be realistic in real life but backfires in the game. I suggest that you'd do another formation of Marine Jaeger Co with less FO teams or with and FO platoon that could be deleted from the formation after buying it.

But this is a very minor fault that doesn't ruin this great OOB in any way.

Thank you again and keep up the good work,
Cheers,
Jukka
