Description
Currently being remade.
The initial release will include most of the infantry equipment and the entire faction config for the AAF itself, future updates will probably include vehicle and possibly weapon retextures to finish the faction out.
This mod will stay up, but be switched to Unlisted so as not to break any existing factions or modpacks. Classnames will differ quite significantly so any missions or mods built with this mod will not work with the new one out of the box.
There will be dependencies for the remake, notably Western Sahara, Arma 3 Aegis, and JCA MCP. Honestly I wasn't happy with the amount of available content the vanilla game had, and said dependencies provide plenty of options for me to use, so it seemed like the most reasonable choice. That being said, if there is enough demand for it, I can make a lighter version without dependencies, albeit without as much content.
One more thing; at the moment, I am planning to make extensions of the remake to add more optional content. Said extensions include, but are not limited to FIA, pre-coup AAF, post-EW AAF (NAAF), and Altian police vehicles, equipment, and possibly weapons. Of course, it'll take a hell of a lot of time to make all that so it's a "maybe" for now. We'll see.
Anyhow, I'll shut up. Any questions can be popped in the comments or sent to me on discord @ polybius.6394.

What is this mod?
This is my version of Arma 3's Altis Armed Forces, not necessarily meant to be lore-friendly, but it looks kinda cool so it's good enough for me. This is not a replacement for the existing AAF, so you won't see this gear in the campaign or other vanilla missions.

What does it add?
Altis Armed Forces faction. (Inf. equipment, faction config, vehicle textures)
Freedom and Independence Army faction. (Inf. equipment, faction config)
Pro-AAF militia units.

What is planned?
More FIA equipment. (selection is rather limited atm).
Vehicle inventory fixes.
Unique vehicle textures (atm it's just vanilla stuff with extra insignia).
Helo retextures.
Merkava config changes (IFV version with less ammo and passenger slots, MBT version with more ammo and no passengers).
J-39 config changes (configuring pylons for CAS & CAP variants).
Better preview screenshots, especially ones not made while sleep-deprived at 3am.

Known issues
No unique icons, missing icons on uniforms. (Honestly I really don't care, so expect it to stay this way).
Other than that, none as of now! Please let me know if you find any, and I'll fix it as soon as possible.

@NF_F16 Simple fix, just been busy. Just finished up a move so I'm still running around the house doing stuff, and also got 2 major projects I'm working on.
I might end up remaking this mod, I'm not really happy with the way it turned out.

Regardless, great mod, still using it ;)

Is it a simple fix or do you have to re-do the code?

@NF_F16 Ah I see what you mean. I think I messed up a character in the randomization script. Whoops.

Just noticed rn and Idk if it affects the Armed Forces faction too
NF_F16 14 Dec, 2023 @ 2:26pm 
Idk why but some of the FIA units spawn without uniforms, like naked I mean

@NF_F16 Sounds neat! Will make sure to give it a sub when it's released.

Great work as always thanks for the update, planning a late 90's/2000s Altis Armed Forces using this mod https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3031504854

@NF_F16 I actually hadn't thought of that. I'll go edit the faction config right now. Thanks for mentioning it.

If you don't mind, changing the "Altis Armed Forces" tag to this "(poly's) Altis Armed Forces" would be great considering the fact that the name conflicts with another Altis Armed Forces mod you might be familiar with
