US. Army questions (Now that .6 has been in effect)

charliegrs · Post by **charliegrs** » 2007-07-25 00:12

you know if you want the models to be 170 % percent accurate like that i hope you like waiting a realllly long time for .7 {or .8 whichever version will have the army} to come out. i agree about having the proper vehicles and gear, but to totally redo the marine models i think is asking a little too much and the devs have more important things to do than redo models that already look great and are pretty damn accurate.

However, I think that if we are going to devote some time to getting the Army right, we should devote time to getting the USMC right.

The whole "They aren't just the Marines, they are a combined force so forget the Huey" won't work anymore cause they are no longer a combined force. This means the correct vehicles for the Marines are needed. And I feel that we should do away with the old Dyce models and update the models for the players themselves. The models we have now are wrong for both branches and no amount of reskinning will fix it. I'm sure this is the same for China too, but I don't know much about their gear so I can't really say. How about we fix player models eventually, once we get all the pressing matters in?

Quite.

I think it will probubly work out as the "US Army" actually being the "US Army and USAF" as they will operate with USAF Jets for air support, where as the "USMC" will be the "USMC and US Navy" as the USMC will have the support of its own, and possibly the Navy's aircraft.

And of course, splitting them up means we get the Huey!

Turn up the Rolling stones, load your full auto '16 with a 20 round mag and light up a fat one.

Now we need some F4s, A-4s, a couple of A-1s and a whole lot of Napalm.

Seriously, you should watch me play the WiC Beta.

Indeed man.

Though I do think Napalm is a little overpowered in WiC. Mind you, I would say that, being an infantry man!

The army is awesome and it IS coming. I dont think there is anything left to be said and if you want to know what the Army faction will have then go find out what guns the Army really uses!! Chances are most of the "doable" weapons that have a place in this game(use your heads meaning dont come back with like "OMGZ Th3 PATRIOT MI22i13!!!") will be in game.

US army ACU
its very different from what the marines wear. different color, body armor is a little different, helmet is smaller, and the same camo is worn in all enviroments, desert, forest, city etc. whereas the marines have MARPAT camo, which comes in desert and forest versions. personally like the marine camo better and the DEVS already got that in game and i think it looks great

USMC marpat

Holy shit. That top photo is of SSG Schroeder, now out of the army. He was in my platoon during my last tour. Got hit threw his arm/nick the lung in a fight we got in. Where the hell did you get that photo? That's us helping guard the construction of barriers for a voting place I think.

And to that I say: I love his M4. Looks just like my AR-15 here at home lol. And on my infantry models suggestion, I don't mean in .8, more like .9 or 1.0. I just know I will be very very perturbed if I have ot play PR into eternity with accurate uniforms on everyone but my favorite military force lol.

Added a fourth Q. I wonder if a dev could delete the chat people are having here...

luvin those m16a4s in the marpat pic
guy on far left has m203 AND acog on his...so giving the .7 usmc grenadier isnt merely for balance issues

{9thInf}GunnyMeyer · Post by **{9thInf}GunnyMeyer** » 2007-07-25 02:07

In all honesty Billdan, every Rifle should have an ACOG in the game for realism purposes. That is unless you want ot play as a Rifleman who saved up his money for a long time before he went to Iraq and now has a EoTech sight lol. I would play as that rifleman any day.

LOL,On the Einstein thing.But when the Bradley IFV/CFV is added in,it better have AT missles in it's missles pods,and not Stinger missles.Also it's 7.62 machinegun next to it's 30mm. cannon better be enabled also.And plz imporve the armor and damage that thing does,it should take at least 3 tank shots to take it out...And the cannon it has should do LAV-25 type damage...But can't wait for the U.S. ARMY to be added...Will the National Guard be next?LOL.Also,about their uniforms,they wear the same battle uniforms as the USMC,at least as far as The pixilated Camo goes...

WNXKENWAY you really know that soldier? wow its a small world. i just got that image doing a search for ACU in google i dont personally know him. thats pretty crazy though.

as for the guy that said the army and marines have the same camo, yeah they both have DIGITAL camo now, but the colors are different. the army ACU camo only comes in 1 version, the greenish-grayish all purpose camo. the marines have more distinct desert/forest versions. and theyre are differences in the style as well, just look at the helmets, the army helmet doesnt cover up the ears, the marine helmet does. and body armor differences, etc the point is no they are not the same.
