Field Cap (Global Mobilization)

The Field Cap is a wearable hat used by West German military forces in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany Creator DLC. ^{[CfgWp 2]}

Overview[]

A modernised iteration of World War II-era ski caps, the Field Cap is worn by both enlisted personnel and members of the officer corps. Field Caps have a weight of 10 "mass" units.^{[CfgWp 1]}^{[CfgWp 3]} This includes 1980s-era Field Caps that have an M62 combat helmet slung to the wearer's waist.^{[CfgWp 2]}

Field Caps do not provide any protection against damage from small arms fire or indirect explosions.

Olive: Standard olive green colour scheme. A dedicated sub-variant with an M62 helmet slung onto wearer's waist is also available.

3-Color
5-Color

These schemes are intended for 1990s forces:

3-Color: Wüstentarn desert camouflage pattern.

Trivia[]

Despite the fact that it has a helmet hanging off the wearer's waist, 1980s Field Caps with M62s do not weigh more and share the exact same weight value.
Prior to the addition of 1990s West German forces in Update 1.3^[1], the Flecktarn/Wüstentarn Field Caps were hidden from the Virtual Arsenal and could only be enabled via custom addons or scripting commands.
