What do you want to see in a Realism Mod?

Hi everybody,

Firstable, this mod is realy fabulous.

I think it could be interesting to add a "training map" in solo mod (sorry if there is already one but every time I try to create a server in solo mod, BF2 close).
In this training map you could place every vehicle avaible for each team (airplane, helico, ...). Just to allow people to practice off-line before piloting on-line. How much BF2 vet try to fly and kill all the squad because piloting under PR is realy realy hard.

Sorry for all mistakes (I am french )

There is a pilot training map out there. It showed up in the Community Modding section some time ago. Have a go at the search function, and I'm sure you'll find it.

And your spelling is better than that of many of the native English speakers in here.

My opinion on the up coming implementation of Flashbangs:

They should be restricted to maps where conventional forces fight Insurgents. Flashbangs are only used IRL where the use of Fragmentation or Concussion grenades could have unwanted side effects, such as seriously damaging poorly made buildings, and so possibly endagering friendly troops or harming civilians. In any other situation it is perferable to use fragmentation grenades or concussion grenades.

Due to the fact that you cant really blow up buldings in PR with frags, there is no reason for Flashbangs to be present on maps where conventional forces battle each other. In my opinion they will would be unrealistic and would also, probubly, cause problems and degrade the quality of gameplay.

Agreed very much. And what're you banned for?

Yea KP you are right there would be airplanes and helicopters fighting, wouldnt be like D-Day but more crazier becuase the bombs and large explosions. It was just an idea but it would be cool to have a map

The map could be made, and I'm sure it'd be cool, even if it's not too realistic. Have a snoop around the Internet, and I'm sure somebody made a vBF2 map like that. Then it should be a matter of "PRifying" it. Otherwise, you could post in the Community Modding forum and see what people think.

probably been mentioned but i havnt seen it soo ill say it anyway.
is there any chance of having a swim underwater function, like swiming at normal speed but it takes "breath" away. maybe even just the SF kit

[KP]

Not possible in BF2, I think.

I want to acknowledge the maturity and intelligence in this thread and for the most part on the forum. Aside from the blight of requests from the younger players for their favourite alphabet soup spec ops team to be represented, this thread makes for entertaining and level-headed reading. Compare a similar thread in the official Armed Assault forums where every request is for a new gun in the next patch or for some obscure vehicle, here people actually throw around ideas for maps and gameplay. I'm impressed.

What about my UH-1Y poast?
*refresh*
I noticed you guys are adding UH-1Y venoms on the Wiki Site. I want to say thats one of the best and most psyching ideas.
However, I noticed it was under the transport Helis.

I wonder if it'd be possible to attach rocket pods and/or m240Ds on the racks above the Huey skids. This and having door mounted m240s for crewmembers to operate. This would be the gun ship version, but it could have room for 4 passengers (The UH-1Ys have increased capacity as well as speed and maneuverability).
So granted, you could have a transport UH-1Y Venom, and a Gunship version. The GunShip will encourage team work and squads because it'll have room for several people. All people operating the guns need to be in the same squad/pilot & crew kits.

Or, if this sounds unbalanced, just have the Venom with rockets and door mounted m240s or just rockets.

If you could implement that, that'd be awesome!
Thanks, and keep up the kickass work!

And before you guys say anything about the AH-1Z and not needing this, the UH-1Y can have rockets and transport peeps at the same time! It's engines have had a major upgrade so its possible to do both. Or, like the little bird, the UH-1Y can have a transport version, and an armed light gunship version.
Also, the UH-1Y can be on maps the Little Bird isn't, or just be a more souped version of the little Bird, less spirally, but more versatile. I hope these ideas are considered by the PR team.

EDIT: also, the UH-1Y will have a .50 Cal Machine gun in a pod next to the rocket pods, M60 style. Maybe the mods would like that idea as well.

And also, what about modding in the m240 instead of that piece of **** known as the m249?

[Danthesandman]

not a swim around anyway you want under water. just across under the surface. so u can swim under and not been seen when crossing a little river.

[agentscar]

I'd love for the Bradley IFV/CFV to be able to select stinger and regular AT rockets for the TOW launchers it has,also can u gies at PR make the 7.62 machine gun it has next to it's cannon work.And let it to be able to carry the actual seven troops in the back,and also,it needs a seperate operating driver then gunner,not a driver that's a gunner too,to be realistic.And also,on Al Basrah,can someone PLZ push to have the 2 beautiful Abrams taken off and replaced with 2 Bradleys.And put the F-15 in it instead of A-10,or whatever that one jet is that the U.S. has on Operation Greasy Mull.ALSO,lol,take the Cobbra off Al Basrah and add the Apache instead.Thanks!

hey guys , i'm new for the whole pr mod community , i only had bf2 for 3 months , i been currently switching mods , i came across this and i am impressed i am downloading right now.. anyway

idk if anyone added this but , be cool if their was a map where us troops had to parachute in.. , like a 747 where it held 20 troops or more.. (including pilot) , 2 jets , 1 cobra and maybe one black hawk , their would be a neturlize base close to the us airfield for them to capture far away from the enemy.

the only thing i can think of that could go wrong is that a idiot pilot crashes everyone... but since i haven't started this game idk if they're are noobs , i seen vids and i see a lot of teamwork which is really cool because bf2 i am sick of immature peeps

if you read this all thank you i appreciate it..

Have a look at the changes for .6. I think you'll like them

Have a look at the map Airport. It features Paras dropping in on a MEC controlled airport. It's a .5 map, and will be dropped - no pun intended - for
version .6, though.

And the n00bs...well, they're there, but when you find a good squad - try to link up with someone from the PR forums - you'll have a great time. The n00bs are normally outnumbered by the good players.

And welcome to the community!

[PlatinumA1]

nice =D and thx you 93% done now

[agentscar]

I'd like if the MEC used the weapons they do in original BF2.And SWEET my Apache request is a reality!!!!But now it's Brits. that'll be a fun change....And does anyone know if the Bradley is gonna be able to go as fast as the abrams,and won't get stuck on small hills that the abrams breezes over on greasy mull,and if they'll actually put armor on the Bradley this time,that doesn't get periced and let the vehicle explode in two shots from an RPG?

[KP]

Why should the MEC use vBF2 weapons?

You mind if the Brits use the Apache? They do IRL.

I don't know about the Bradley. How fast do they go IRL, compared to an Abrams? Do they get stuck on small hills IRL (just kidding, I'm pretty sure they don't)? And how's the real life Bradley armoured?

And do we even have a Bradley in PR? I'm pretty sure I've never seen one.

[Outlawz7]

And the U.S. APC in game is LAV-25 not Bradley...

[agentscar]

PLAY OPERATION GREASY MULL OR STEEL THUNDER there's a bradley there,and I know the APC in PR is the LAV-25,but in real life the Bradley is an apc and fighting vehicle.The Bradley has Explosive Reactive Armor,and it has Aluminum Armor under that,which means it can take about as much damage as an Abrams,though an Abrams can probably take about 1 RPG more than a Bradley,but anyways...I don't care the Brits have the Apache,th Brits. rock,and that'll eb cool in the game.And the Bradley does get stuck on hills the Abrams breezes on on PR...The Bradley can carry 6 troops and it has a gunner for turret and a driver.PR should give it an APC symbol,not an AA symbol cuz it's not AA.The Linebacker Bradley variant is,but not the M2,or M3 Bradley IFV/CFV.the Bradley can go 41 mph. and the Abrams can go 45 mph. I know this for sure,I even double checked on wikipedia.

[agentscar]

The weapons the MEC used in BF2 were more realistic of what they would use, the economy and technology of the Middle East would not be able to support G3's...

[Lampshade111]

The M6 Linebacker is what is currently in the mod. The Marines don't use the Bradley or the Linebacker but EA got that wrong and gave them the M6 instead of the LAV AD which would have made more sense.

The M2A3 and M3A3 Bradley are pretty well armored IFVs but cannot withstand hits from many of the heavy weapons the Abrams can. Few APCs and IFVs are as heavily armored as MBTs because of cost and logistics issues that would come with such a higher weight.

The G3 battle rifle is an older and reliable weapon that is rather easy to produce keeping costs low. At shorter ranges it is not as effective as an assault rifle but it has a greater range than such weapons. It could easily be supported by a fictional MEC with plenty of oil money.

[agentscar]

True about the G3,cuz yes oil money,but the USMC do use the M2/M3 IFV/CFV they don't only use the linebacker.I've saw many videos from Iraq where the USMC gies will have an M2 rolling with them.

[El_Vikingo]

How old are you, mate?

[KP]

Keep in mind that the "USMC" in PR isn't the USMC as such. It's rather a mix of the USAF, US Army, US Navy and USMC. The "Bradley" in PR is indeed a Linebacker, which, like the Blackhawk, is not used by the USMC, but by other parts of the US military.
