1) I always thought it would be cool for one of the psychos to have a bag that permits him to carry his head collection around since there are 7 unique heads.
2) The camouflage covert ops pic could possibly be a briefcase that contains the disguise and makeup.
3) I believe that the crowbar was replaced by the hooligan bar. The crowbar probably should still be found around Arulco, in sheds for example. I found it.
4) The SWAT helmet could have a transformation that lets the goggles come down. In the pic we can see attached goggles.
The zip ties were a nice touch. What are the differences in handcuffs? Are they based on usage and thus need to be repaired?
Is the drugs feature going to be further utilized? I noticed that a KILO of llello has been in AIMNAS quite a long time.
What's up with the boxed in view of the game now? In fullscreen the game is not spread. This happens regardless of resolution option.

Vince7403Is the maximum item mass limit still at 25kg or wherever it was? I think we can carry corpses around now, so I think that limit's been raised. The M2HB wasn't brought in before because it would break the old item mass limit.
As it is, it would be overkill anyway, since there aren't that many vehicles to shoot at. I myself suggested the Kord 12.7mm Soviet "light heavy" machine gun knowing it was overkill, but it fits a bit better in the more mobile sort of campaign JA2 tends to have. Plus, you can fire the Kord from the hip, which isn't very practical but it's just the sort of ultra-macho nonsense some of our mercenaries would participate in.
I understand your point but I am thinking about sector defense, for example I had waves of enemies attacking my position in Drassen Mine and my defense was a small well-equipped 6-man team of mercs as of that time any town militia was almost non-existent and of little to no use (they were obliterated at turn 3) I managed to put a lot of them down but had to retreat anyways. So 2-3 M2's positioned at some choke points and the favor may shift a little bit.
Regarding the overkill, as the M2 is indeed a very serious gun which is able to pin down and annihilate superior numbers of assaulting infantry it is still a support weapon and not very mobile so if you don't know how to use any HMG the superior firepower can't outweigh any inferior battletactics. Not to mention if I look at the vast selection of firearms and the great selection of antitank weapons we enjoy in the modded versions of JA2 nowadays (thinking about we only have a few dozen tanks to encounter on our way to Meduna) then you could also call this overkill, as for my part I like having a big selection where I can choose my guns from.
Regarding your point about using it against vehicles I point to my earlier statement about using the M2 as an anti-infantry support gun. Not to forget that this was originally the role the M2 Browning has been designed for.

Good luck with life, man. Working with students, whatever their age, is tough.
I've been following the thread for a couple of years and your latest post jolted me into action.
Seriously, AIMNAS is a huge undertaking, for me it is the essence of JA2 modding.
I keep my fingers crossed that you will not drop it completely. It is your brainchild.
The above mentioned insight on the item/weapon selection process gave me some ideas about some unique firearms that could someday be included in the mod, perhaps:
The Italian 6.5x52 Carcano M91, the JFK murder weapon. A light, accurate, fast firing bolt action rifle.

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Carcano_M91/38
The Austrian 6.5x54mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1903 carbine. Similar, but faster firing, with a heavier bullet. Ernest Hemmingway referred to it as the world'd finest rifle, iirc and "Karamojo" Bell, who shot more than 1,500 elephants used it for approximately 300 of these kills.
http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Mannlicher-Schoenauer_1903_carbine
The Czech 7.62x39 CZ vz. 52/57 rifle because it was favored by Che Guevara over the AK-47.
http://world.guns.ru/rifle/autoloading-rifles/chex/vz52-and-vz5257-e.html
http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Czech_Vz._52_Rifle
The French- American .30-06 Chauchat machinegun, because it is arguably the world's worst weapon ever. Mass produced and insanely unreliable. As a nasty prank to players.

The Brazilian .30-06 Model 954 Mosquet
