XA-180
The workhorse of the Finnish army, XA-180 armored personnel carrier, is seen here on a forest road during trials. XA-180 entered service in 1983 and is operated not only by Finland but also by other nations in numerous peacekeeping operations.
The vehicle is fully amphibious and can carry two infantry squads. Several variants have been developed along the years, culminating in the Advanced Modular Vehicle (AMV) design.
Awesome! This is a machine im very familyar with. We got this model to our company back in 1994 and we loved them. Cant wait to use this and the other models ingame. Both the Leopard and Scania we use in the Norwegian Army.
Was a plan to work on a Hagglund Bandvagn (BV206) model for this mod too???
We had plans for BV206 already in OFP times. The model and textures were pretty much finished but we never got the damn thing behave like a two part vehicle so it was scrapped.
With ARMA2 attachTo command it could work but I’m afraid it will be a waste of time again :/.
Hmm.. Yeah, I see the problem. Could the BV206 been released as a static (non driveble) ?
I dont know about others in the community but I would love to place a few of them on the map
Well.. Im not gonna go on about other models when there is so many awesome ones in this mod already.
Love your work
There were some thoughts about releasing it as non-flexible, but still usable vehicle, maybe in ATGM or mortar carrier variants. Of course it would have looked really funny as such… a bit like our tractor in OFP mod
Will this be in the arma 2 version? One of my favourite finnish army vehicles!
When that XA-180 is released? Have been waiting for it since the mod came out
