We're considering adding SEALs into the mod as there was a team present in Mog during the battle (SEAL Team 6, now called DEVGRU). However, we're at a slight shortage of ideas when it comes to making them unique and different from the other Special Forces teams. Here is a list of current infantry units and what sets them apart:

75th Ranger Battalion
-6-man squad
  -1 medic, 1 LAW, 2 SAW
-Special Abilities:
  -offensive: Grenade launcher
  -defensive: sprint

1st SFOD-D (Delta Force)
-4-man squad
  -1 medic, 1 LAW
-Extremely accurate, elite troops
-SA:
  -off: demo charge
  -def: sprint

Pararescuemen (PJ's)
-4-man squad
-heal faster than normal medics
-SA:
  -off: emergency heal (restores large amount of health instantly)
  -def: smoke grenade

CCT (Combat Controller)
-single-man
-SA:
  -off: call in Little Bird strafing run
  -def: reveal area (UAV scan)

Delta Force Sniper
-2-man team
  -1xCAR-15, 1xM14
-increased ROF
-SA:
  -off: rally (accuracy and ROF increase)
  -def: sprint

Engineer
-single-man
-can heal vehicles
-SA:
  -off: demo charge
  -def: sprint

CSAR/SST TA (Combat Search And Rescue/SAR Security Team)
-deploys:
  -1x2-man PJ squad
  -1x1 CCT
  -1x4-man Ranger squad
  -1x3-man Delta squad

SEAL Team Six?
-4-man squad
  -2xSAW, 1 medic
-SA:
  -off: suppressive fire (increase in ROF)
  -def: ?

Any suggestions for Special Abilities or weapons? All comments and help filling in our question marks are appreciated.

Try going to Shared Documents\World in Conflict\mods and see if there's a folder called Blackhawk_Down with a file inside of it called Blackhawk_Down.sdf. Make sure both the folder and the file are spelled exactly the same way

have you updated to patch #10? if so, none of the user created mods are currently working with the new update. until we figure this out with massive, you guys are going to have to play vanilla WiC

hey iasaun, it may be a while before the next we release a new version as my team is pretty much MIA and my desktop was KIA. There won't be much work getting done until I get a new computer or figure out how to fix this one, but in the meantime, i've been teaching myself python, so maybe we'll be able to figure out some pretty neat new additions for WiC.

I'd also like to ask you guys to take a look at a new project I'm co-developing along with 3 of the other leading modders for this game: Tevkid, MadMonk, and Gen.Kenobi. The project is code named MADCAT, and more information can be found at Madcat.2ksite.com
