RHS has a similar announcement on their Facebook page.

 

On one hand, today is April 1. On the other hand, ACE3 was announced on April 1, 2015.

 

So who knows.

This would be a very cruel joke if false. But I think the real, core joke is to keep people guessing by announcing it on April 1, similar to ACE3's announcement.

 

It'd be very nice if this was true, because official SCARs and getting access to CUP's DAP would be fantastic.

give me the strykers and lavs and im happy

Man I'd cream myself if these two teams got to work on joint packs together. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a 1st of April meme.

Yep. But two different announcements... supposedly. The first announcement is that CUP + RHS is combining into one mod. The second is that they're developing official vanilla content.

 

We'll see™.

[Maj (Ret) Ray]

RHS still has the announcement up on their Facebook page…

 

... but CUP has announced it was a prank.

 

Quote

As many of you have already guessed it by now... this was an april’s fools prank.

Many of you consider CUP and RHS as competitors even though that is hardly the case. What we wanted to show that it is absolutely possible that two of the biggest mods for arma, that have different goals, workflow and approaches can work together quite happily to pull a gig like this. So can others, and not just for April Fools or Arma for that matter.

 

Working together is what kept this creative community alive for so long, sharing information, skills, ideas and the interest into this unique game we all gravitate around.

 

The dedication and tenacity of the modding community is part of what makes this game so special for all of us. This goes for all the modders out there, especially the ArmA ones: Keep on going, continue to expand the armaverse, help each other out and push things to the limit. This game wouldn’t be the same without you all.

 

You might wonder if RHS and CUP will ever merge? We already have people who are part of both development teams, so who knows what might happen in the future, especially with a new iteration of the franchise on the horizon. For now, we’ll carry on sharing information and knowledge just like before, but each with its own development path.

 

Now for the good news, neither CUP or RHS have any intention to put a paywall between their creation and the community as part of a DLC.

 

Contrary to popular belief, it is not CUP's goal to simply port old content to Arma3, but also to bring this content up to the same level as the Arma 3 content. This includes the level of detail, textures and the support of new engine features. Since we are only a small team, we have to move bit by bit towards this goal. Good examples of this are the LAV-25, the upcoming Landrover and many more. The upcoming Tank DLC contains some really interesting features and you can be sure that is only a matter of time and manpower to adopt these new feature in our mod.

Apparently the Strykers are real. And SCARs!

Some of RHS most requested content is already in the late WIP stages, including Strikers, LAVs, scars etc. We will release some shots in the coming weeks. Pending Tanks DLC, there will be more changes under the hood, adopting the new BI damage values and systems, which means RHS mods will play better together with vanilla other 3rd party ones, including CUP.

If they're far enough along to show screenshots means that we can probably count on them being included. The SCAR looks completed or nearly completed, and the Stryker model looks like it just needs texturing.

 

RHS 0.4.6 perhaps?

This sounds to me like they'll release the vehicles after the Tanks DLC. Weapons don't really need to wait.

While true, there are also plenty of opportunities for alternate gameplay with S-2 roleplaying. We had a combined arms scenario in TFA's final FTX, as an example.
