Immersive military mods?

[BigDaddyRat]

I read a lot of posts where the players like "immersive" elements to the gameplay, and as an immersive player myself, I feel there are still a lot of "immersive" items lacking. I like my game to be militarily immersive, having spent a tour in Germany as well as making the party in the desert in '91. My character uses only real world based weapons, such as M1911, M-16, M-1 Carbine, M-1 Garand, MP-40 and as close to a real world sniper rifle, such as the Winchester M70 as I can get. No energy weapons, 10 mm, combat rifle, combat shotgun etc. Uniform is tiger stripes with boonie hat outside base and beret in base (Castle, Sanctuary, etc.). Artillery is the 155mm Howitzer. Food source in the field is totally MRE. There are many other mods I would like to see, such as reality-based flak jackets, ALICE and LRRP packs, true LBE (load bearing equipment), an M-60 in proper 7.62 mm ammo, just to name a few. Now, I've had it suggested to me in the past to learn to make my own meshes and build my own mods, but I'm 61 years old and I don't see myself doing that. That's why I've made these suggestions, maybe some dedicated experienced modder would like to tackle them. Just the ramblings of an old man, but maybe I've piqued some interest out there in modder land.

There are few M1's and M14's, but I feel they are lacking the real life options for those guns. Even M1 had prototype with full automatic fire and 20 round magazine. Also those optics should have some differencies, like better accuracy and that goes with stocks and barrels as well. Still 3rd person animations are missing aim and see through scopes patch.

 

I know, I know "do it yourself". I can't, but some talented modder might take this as a challenge ;-)

You might want to check out the following mods to get you started:

 

• All Camo Uniforms - includes camo from all over the world, including tiger stripes. Beret is already in-game, called a "Military Cap". Armorsmith Extended will add additional colors.
• DOOM-Based Weapons: Merged - includes several realistic military weapons.
• Modern Weaponry - this is actually a patch that allows Weaponsmith, Modern Firearms, and New Calibers to work together. You'll need to download those 3 mods to make it work, links are in its description.
• Military MREs - several mods add MREs as a food, this was just the top result.
• Modern Firearms Camo Vests - offers several camo options for the vests added by Modern Firearms
• Backpacks of the Commonwealth - has a couple of good options for a military pack, although personally I prefer the one from the Creation Club
• K-9 Harness - a modern vest for Dogmeat... can't leave him out, after all

 

None of them are perfectly what you want, but all of them together might equal something acceptable. I often roleplay my character as a pre-war Special Forces operative, so I tend to enjoy these kinds of mods as well.

Man I would just be happy with true select-fire options. Currently I'm using Modern Firearms Merged with Weapons of Fate & Weaponsmith Extended (since I can craft ammo) on my survival play-through. I just wish Modern Firearms select-fire, secondary weapon, scope, etc toggles worked with all the other weapons.

Have you ever tried a game called Arma 3?

 

There is a huge modding community for it and id has about as many real world scenarios and equipment as you could think of.
