OK, I can finally get these things off my chest for now.
*** NEW VERSION! ***
Basically updated models, nothing too special about them. Not too many features engineered into this lot, I'm afraid, but basically I've run out of time for my deadline, real life of course being the culprit. Updates will of course follow, when I get time.
*** CREDITS ***
Johannes aka Jonny - base model and most if not all of the MOLLE pouches, extremely large thanks to him for being generous and letting me modify his work, he basically owns this addon more than I do.
Theo aka Plaintiff1 - my first anonymous modelling friend, this Canadian guy was good enough to actually get me started. Although the DAPs are all that remains of his gargantuan effort to make stuff for me, if it wasn't for him I'd never have actually gotten around to it. EDIT - The collar on the IOTV is also his work, legendary as it is. Kudos to Theo once again. 
Dasquade - legendary Belgian, provided several crucial parts to the models in his own time. Kudos to him and his l337 sk1ll5.
Jahve - attempted final preparation and useful beta testing + reference pic provider from Norway. Helped quite a shiteload. His company was extremely [JimCarreyVoice] PRODUCTIVE! [/JimCarreyVoice]
Ebud - helped in a way we both cannot tell the community. Don't ask.
*** SPECIAL MENTION ***
Andrei AKA NSX/NSXr - offering and succeeding in taking many fully awesome pictures of the new blokes, and lending support. Ta comrade.
THANKS:
Clavicula_Nox - advisory shtuff.
olemissrebel - advisory shtuff (good luck wherever you are).
US_Navy_Dude - advisory shtuff.
Jahve - normal maps worthy of Mordor.
Wipman, Nephillim + the DSA modelling team - for granting me permission graciously for using stuff that actually didn't make it into the final addon.
Ebud - boot + other stuff help.
CrazyBump Team.
Adobe.
Pauliess - support + comments.
Architeuthis - support + comments.
ColonelSandersLite - promises of a replacement pack, apologies for my tardiness.
newbieboka + Knight31 - offering to beta test, despite my slackness - sorry lads. 
Everyone else who dropped a kind word or constructive criticism or spam in my thread.
*** FAQ ***
Q) Are the rank patches customisable?
A) No, not yet. Expect it in updates, potentially.
Q) What about nametapes?
A) See above, except it may not ever happen due to circumstances beyond my control... for now.
Q) Why didn't you make two unique SAW dudes, fireteam leaders or grenadiers?
A) Ran out of time. Perhaps later.
Q) I see you have given each unit class unique camo. Wicked sick?
A) Aye, wicked sick.
Q) Have my babies?
A) Refer to Jonny's USMC thread, he's the man you should be talking to.
Q) Why are those guys wearing the same gay old BIS MOLLE pack?
A) If someone makes me a pack worthy of Mordor, I'll gladly use it. Camelbak Motherlodes would be nice, please.
Q) SF?
A) Maybe later, hopefully someone else will make some.
Q) Other units besides the 1st ID?
A) Probably the 101st blokes again, in a little while.
Q) WTF?
A) Left leg plus spider kneecap.
*** ISSUES ***
- Completely ArmA.rpt error free at this time as far as I've checked.
- Optimised to BIS standard. Later updates should hopefully be up to ~75% more optimised, however, motivation will be required.
- No missions included in ZIP, perhaps if someone could make a really good one I could include it in time.
- NOD textures need tweaking, at the moment they're comparatively bare, not like you'll notice, though.
*** PICTURES! ***
Check them out, before you download - NSX took quite some time making these, the least y'all can do is take a little time viewing them.

#3
#4
Great pictures, eh? Thanks again, NSX!
*** IMPORTANT! ***
- Versions with different configs will be released shortly, once I've written them. Namely, I've got a Wipman config, a Vilas config and a RobertHammer config in the works. The only issue with these is that people will have to manually swap out the config as for some reason I don't seem to be able to properly binarise the file without the config in the actual folder, and I'll be damned if I'm releasing ODOLs. 
My only ask in using this addon is that you PLEASE MAKE MISSIONS FOR IT! I've made these blasted things, now I'd like to be able to use them ingame for once. So please, open up the editor and go nuts.
OK, now, what you've been waiting for:
Link (FileFront)
Link (Armed Assault.de)
Thanks to all collaborators, and I hope the community enjoys this addon, which has been yonks in the making.
If it doesn't work for any reason, just scream out and I'll get onto it tonight.
