Now that the 3CB weapon pack is out, is this back on track?

Yes, we're working on integration right about...now. ;-)

I've just sent Apollo the updated whitelist (now with @3CB BAF Weapons :)) so hopefully we'll have this up and running sooner rather than later :)

EDIT: Apollo got here first

Just checked it on the public server.

To me it is a good step in the right direction but a few things could be imnproved in my opinion. Those are mostly minor things, which are not really important. My main issue right now is thankfully Machine Guns are restricted, but AT-Launchers are not. I would like to see more heavy launchers like the NLAW, or the Javelin restricted to some extent.

Thanks MeFirst. It'll be interesting to see what reaction it gets.

Our aim with this mod is to remove equipment that:
1) is not Blufor, to reduce mistaken blue-on-blue
2) severely detracts from the fun of other players (e.g. thermal scopes)
3) is redundant (example CUP weapons replicated by 3CB BAF weapons)

However, we are not trying to force people into uniformity with British kit or certain weapons per role - on the public server people are free to choose alternative uniforms, vests, backpacks and variety of weapons from the list available. We, as 3CB members can educate by explaining the benefits of role-playing with the right weapon per role, sharing magazines etc, but it needs to be left flexible so that people can experiment, learn from mistakes, but also have crazy fun when appropriate (after midnight?!).

Well In terms of some AT-Launchers, I dont think that only the AT-Class should have access to them. However in theory a few roles should not have access to the heavy launchers. Not because realism, but because of gameplay reasons. So for a example I dont really think a medic should walk around with a Javelin from the start.

Same would technically go for pilots and crew members. However especially those classes will often be tasked with delivering supplies to other players and so they practically need the access to them.

That is of course if you wish to go down this road of per-role restriction, which I think is too inflexible in terms of general day-to-day public play.

Which I explicitly stated only 2 posts up is NOT the intention. There will be no per-role restriction. There is currently no per-role restriction. 

Don't for one minute think that a bunch of NCO's sat round looking at each and every piece of equipment (how many THOUSAND?), making notes just in case someone asked "where did my favourite Iraq vest go?". We focused mostly on weapons in detail and the rest with a bit more broad brush. 

If there is a particular piece of equipment (like the "Iraq vest") which you think should not be removed, please do let us know with an exact description of it's name and your reasoning, and there's a good chance it'll be put back in.

Try reading all of it, rather than just quoting the first sentence.

I thought I'd already answered your question.
The 3CB Minimi's have NOT been restricted (white-listed?) for certain roles. They are available to all roles. If that's not answering your question, can you clarify with more detail what you want to know as maybe I'm missing the point.

As far as I'm aware we've only removed Opfor, Civilian and VR uniforms. Which Blufor uniforms are you missing?
