MG's for APC's

Severloh · Post by **Severloh** » 2007-05-28 20:16

First of all, obviously, thank you very much for the mod, I know you guys are already tired of reading this but it is never too much.

Well I am no military expert and nothing, but I was doing the vehicle manual for the Brazilian PR community and noticed that every APC have a coaxial machinegun along with the main gun. Are you guys planning to do this on future releases? I haven't seen it on "already suggested suggestions" and I think that would be really useful, for both realism, since APC's have them, and gameplay, since you don't have to use your precious explosive 30mm ammuniton against every soldier you see. So, there is a small suggestion

cheers

.6 has given every APC a coax.

On the subject of APCs and MGs, can we get rid of the weapons the passengers can fire? Or, if we keep them, can we at least get a new sound?

I've only ever heard of the portal guns being used on BMPs which consisted of a soldier locking his AK-47 into an airtight glass view port and firing as he would normally. I don't know about the LAVs, BTRs, or (whatever that chinese thing is).

I use those guns regularly. I've saved countless APC's that way. It's main downside is it's lack of aiming ability.

My god i swear I've looked at the 0.6 changes a thousand times and didn't see the coax MG. Sorry about that

When I first saw an APC firing its coax, I thought, "hey, that makes sense... It was probably there all along." I didn't even realize it was a new feature.

We have a crazy messed up M16 variant for firing ports, being the cunning Americans we are..

For a viechle that no longer has firing ports. The M231 is also an army exclusive, so using it as an excuse for firing out of the side of the LAV-25 makes no sense. Also, the firing ports for that weapon face rearward.

Though I suppose it could be a contender for the US Army crewman weapon when they are introduced.

I'd be up for that. Make it a bit different looking.

Don't get caught outside of your APC with one of those. They don't have front sights, so aiming might be a bit difficult. Might be a good way to prevent Crewmen from abandoning their vehicles.

Ehh? One of the vBF2 expansions already has the P90 as an unlock, which we can take and use for PR... There's no need to make a new whole model or changing the sights...
