I knew about all there reasons and that.
But, now a days, it's much more likely that if a bomb was found in the WMs, it wouldn't belong to the IRA.

The only Police Service in the country with a Bomb Disposal section is the Met, as far as I know. Also, I didn't think the TA did Civil Bomb Disposal; I know only the Royal Navy, The Royal Air Force and the Royal Logisitcs Corps do. If you could find a picture of the WMFS Bomb Disposal that'd be cool. :12:

the TA is basically the UK version of the US national Guard, and also the TA are the reserves, so there may e TA personnel in the RLC and other parts of the Military.
I cant find a picture of a WMFS Bomb Disposal on the net and the few local stations by me dont either, the ones that i know thta have Bomb disposal anre at Solihull and Major Bimingham Stations, there may also be one at Major Wolverhamton Stations.

Yeah, I'm thinking about putting a bomb robot in, I don't see how hard it could be, just use a model of the bomb squad robot as a bomb disposal person and don't give it any bones or anything so that it does not move like a person. Then it can be taken around in a van. Would be cool to also get it to not be counted as a casualty if it ends up blown to pieces :P

Another idea for you, is there going to be a inshore RNLI lifeboat, because we have a lot of major rivers run through WM, the RNLI have inshore stations for floods, etc

These are the two boats that the RNLI use during floods

next time if you want to send anything like that, send it via PM to avoid going off topic.



I hate to break it to you, but you're the one that keeps going off topic with your weird assumptions like the one below.

somtimes the KGB can be called a terrorist Organisation, because they all kindnapp people and hold them to ransom


Just a friendly word of advice: stop reading James Bond novels and start living in the real world. The KGB doesn't exist anymore, in fact it was abolished almost twenty years ago when the USSR collapsed...

All off topic deleted so let's just talk about the West-Midlands mod again.

**The water outlets on the pavement may be replaced with much flatter, labelled squares on the ground, as is such in West Midlands and most of the UK.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think these exist in or are planned to come to the West Midlands.

As for the RNLI lifeboat, I probably will add that, thanks. Don't see why not, the map will probably have a river anyway, especially if it does turn out to be the default map with modifications. Can the smaller one travel faster than the bigger one, or ..?

yes the smaller one does travel faster but because they are designed to be inshore lifeoats, they both go very fast

I just have a question .. what are yellow police cars for? They might be traffic cars, but they're also E3s ...?

Also the reason I wanted to know was so that I could give people a reason to send the smaller lifeboat instead of the larger one besides availability.

hey, i know its a bit off topic, but because most people on this particular fourm are from the WM, i thought i bring it up.


Has anyone gone to the Midland Soldier this week at MoD Stafford, there is a Show where they show all the different regiment and information and you can hold the weapons and go in the tanks, it finishes the end of this wekk or month, not sure, if you go and ask or call Army Jobs by visisting www.army.mod.uk you should be able to find when it is. there is the RPC Bomb Disposal there and also the Royal Military Police and a load of other Forces, id suggest that you moddelers for the mod go there to get better looks at the bomb disposal units and also could add the Royal Medical Corps and Royal Miliary Police

Well ...

Imagine that, except where the main body colour is yellow instead of white. I saw one earlier, and I've seen them patrolling, the one earlier pulled over a car (damn thing nearly ran me over as I crossed the road, because it suddenly turned its lights and sirens on when at the lights).
