A problem I see with making a Russian army in PR.

Now, I'm not sure if this is a major problem but here it goes: Russia now uses the AK-101 as it's standard assault rifle for it's military, it fires 5.56mm NATO rounds. It was meant to replace the AK-74M, which fires 5.45mm rounds. The problem I see is that almost every other small arm that the Russian army uses fires the 5.45mm round, not 5.56 NATO like the AK-101. Now this is my idea. When and if the PR team decides to add the Russian army into the game, I think that you should give the Russian army the AK-74M instead of the AK-101, this way the guns share the same ammunition, making things more realistic. Although from what I have seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_Weaponry Russia seems to use 3 standard types of ammunition, 7.62 x 39 mm, 5.45 x 39 mm, and 5.56 x 45 NATO. So maybe this wont be a big problem after all. Just putting that information out there for everyone.

PR is not adding the Russian Army...

Furthermore, the Russian Army does not use the AK-101 as it's standard assault rifle.

AK-74M - main service rifle
AN-94 - designed to replace AK-74M, possibly limited usage
AK-103 - possibly limited usage

no AK-101 however

Oh, I read somewhere that the 101 was the main service rifle, my bad.

AK101 is an export weapon.

Who said anything about a Russian Army in PR anyway...

BTW, when they add elephants for the Indians to ride on, make sure their ears are smaller than the African elephants please.

Aww...I was kind of hoping for a Russian army when I read this thread

. The US and GB really seem like they could use the help, considering they're fighting offensively against the Chinese, MEC, and Insurgents (presumably all at once).

Next faction that is most likely to happen after the ARMY is put in would probably be the Canadian forces. I have seen them talk about that before.

EDIT: Although, we eventually would need another Axis faction.

Lol..... who said the PR team are going to keep going after the U.S Army is implemented?

[PR]AC3421 · Post by **[PR]AC3421** » 2007-03-31 19:17

I said the most likely faction after that IF it happens, because I have seen devs talk about it.

Nobody. AFAIK the US Army is the last faction, right after the Militia.

I dont think they ever stated it would be the last. i think they are always open to adding more things, be it another faction, or whatever.

I would love to see the Russian army in PR.

After all, since PR is building up as "what BF2 was supposed to be" and since by reading the first previews of BF2 it was hinted that we would fight in the Middle East, Russia and China I don't see any reason to why the PR team should not ever add the Russian army if they ever desire to, either as an allied or axis force. Comparing it to adding Indians in elephants is nonsense in my opinion.

It would be likely that Russia would engage in an armed conflict. Just think of what's happening right now in Eastern Europe and the missile-shield affair. Russia threatened to launch nuclear missiles into Europe in response to the USA plans of building the shields. That's what I've been hearing and reading in the news at least... it's like a Cold War II is starting... or a Cold Peace so to say...

Just my 2 cents.

PS: Sorry if this thread seems to be in the wrong forum, but I was redirected here from the "Already Suggested Suggestions" thread so I wouldn't create a new thread for an already suggested suggestion!

Russia has an actual Army?

Russia threatened Europe? Cold War II?

Right now there is a Canadian Army being built and the DEVs had said (or hinted to) the adding of the US ARMY. I havent read that they will stop making factions but that, if they do, they will come after the 1.0 release or PR. If you want to see the Russians in PR any time soon, then you might want to start making them yourselves.

Eh, the Canadian faction is a community project, not something the DEVs are cooking up.

There is also another community faction in the works, but I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say about that.
