Seems that you don't understand current MEC loadout pattern . . .
You have Cold War era NATO weapons used by regular soldiers,
which is fine since Russian AKs are really becoming overused in
video games,and it doesn't conflicts with RL stuff,since G3 is most
used rifle besides AK by Arabic and Iranian armies,most of them
are locally manufacturing it,same goes for MG3 and P226.
What would be a problem is that RPK uses 7.62?39mm rounds
while all of their other weapons such as G3,MG3,SSG69 . . .
Uses 7.62?51mm NATO rounds,such "diverse" mix you suggest
fits unconventional faction weapons loadout,and there are already
few of that kind of factions in game,like I said MEC represents
regular ARMY,and regular ARMIES don't mix up handheld weapons,
they must be really poor if do something or in years long war,
so they couldn't think about standards,rather take what you can
and go to the frontline,in that cases there is not used just mixed
weaponry,rather anything you can find from WW2 to present day,
example - countless Battlefields of Africa.
Now you can say to me : But how IDF have such a diverse weapon loadout ?
Well if you look closely they are using two types of rifles (M4A1 and Tavor)
which uses same type of Stanag mags,and same 5.56 ammo.
Even Negev LMG can be fit with that kind of mags.
As for the vehicles . . . That is different story . . .
Vehicles don't work that way . . . It is not that some army just have to opt
for Western or Russian vehicles or aircraft,they use what suits their military
doctrine,or budget,so we can see for example Serbia using Both Russian Helicopters
and Gazelle Helicopters,Iran using F-14s and MiG-29s,Poland using two main battle
tanks such as Leo 2A4 and PT-91 Twardy (T-72 derivative).
So like I said,handheld weapons and vehicles are oranges and potatoes.
I don't mind inclusion of Scorpion on MEC side,it is quietly common in Iran
and of of Arabic countries,I would not mind Patton on MEC side also.
