"Replaced Taliban scout SKS with a PPSH"
Wouldnt it be nice if the Featurelist/Bugreport could be more friendly to users who are not familiar wih everything that can be shortformed? The aboove line is only an example.
For a guy using a SKS everyday its probably cool to have a PPSH, I understand very well.
But what is a SKS and what is a PPSH... and what is seven hundered other shorts?
LAV I know its approximately the same as an APC...
But I dont have the translation table for everything else!
Please advice!

Why won't you google it instead of forcing others to do it for you? ;]

Because Самозарядный карабин системы Симонова and Пистолет-пулемёт Шпагина tell you so much more about what they are....Zoors wrote:"Replaced Taliban scout SKS with a PPSH"

Re: Shortform lingo
My philosophy is quite simple. If I don't know a thing the devs are talking about, I a) look it up or b) sit back and trust them explicitly.

Re: Shortform lingo
When talking about specific weapons, it's really hard to get any more general than that. Unfortunately 'high capacity submachine gun' and 'semi automatic rifle' are a little too vague.
