universetwisters Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Out of curiousness, has anybody noticed any of the patches the soldiers at Fort Zancudo wear and if they're based on real ones or not? I've seen a few but I couldn't identify any of them off the top of my head. The only one I could point out was one of the 1st Calvary, which I ended up taking a picture of.

THE_TREVALEV Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yes. Not sure on the unit, but at basic and AIT, they had giant paintings of unit patches and it was on there.

universetwisters Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yes. Not sure on the unit, but at basic and AIT, they had giant paintings of unit patches and it was on there. That's neat. Do they have those for each base or is it just one? I remember one of them had an airborne patch, or at least it had the "airborne" lettering arching over the patch. The patch itself looked like a group of sticks tied together, but I can't recall it too good.

universetwisters Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 The patch on the bottomost right reminds me of the one of the 16th Military Police Brigade but with some extra stuff around.

Officer Ronson Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Well they are pretty much the ones who patrol out of Ft. Zancudo and arrive in the Jeeps, so they might be the Military Police inside of Ft. Zancudo.

ddyoung Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The one with the spider looks like this 135th Airborne Division patch.

PhillBellic Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 For the same reason John Grimes is a bit of all. The name on the name tag part of the LCPD badge actually says 'JOHN JAMES'.

AzelfandQuilava Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 What's weird is even though they're all part of the Army, some of them shout stuff relating to the US Marines ("I'm a f**king Marine", "Semper Fi", etc). I'm still disappointed that the soldiers in Zancudo don't wear that awesome combat gear that they wear in the Paleto Score...

PhillBellic Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Point 1: What's weird is even though they're all part of the Army, some of them shout stuff relating to the US Marines ("I'm a f**king Marine", "Semper Fi", etc). Point 2:I'm still disappointed that the soldiers in Zancudo don't wear that awesome combat gear that they wear in the Paleto Score... I have modified your post for ease of reference, Point 1: It is all part of Rockstars inconsistency with this game (perhap a by-product of being too long in development). As an easier example, look at the difference with the Sheriff Cruiser and Sheriff Granger, the former is all white whilst the latter is black and white. Point 2: I believe the soldiers that appear at the Paleto Score are different models then that appear inside of Fort Zancudo. What are your thoughts? Cheers.

universetwisters Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 ^ I'm almost positive the soldiers during the Paleto Score are the same as the ones in Fort Zancudo. I don't have much of a good chance to look at their patches, though. But yeah, it's odd seeing as the soldiers at Fort Zancudo yell out Marine slang even though they're part of the Army. Speaking of, do Army bases have runways and fighter jets? Or is that only Air Force bases? Heebie Jeebies.

Officer Ronson Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 They're internally known as Marines, whoever made the textures probably didn't know and so put Army patches.

Officer Ronson Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Actually the soldiers who show up at the Paleto Score are also in the base, but they're only inside the patrolling tanks. Plus there are around 4 to 6 different soldier models including a mechanic who is internally known as Armymech.
