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

Post by **Bob_Marley** » 2007-07-25 02:45

1. From what I gather, Yes. They will have the Bradley. And yes, it will have TOWs and M240.

2. 3 Tank shots. WTF? No way. Its no where near that tough.

3. Yes, I would imagine it will do LAV-25 type damage, as it is the same Bushmaster M242, and all.

4. No, they dont. The Marines use MARPAT, which has several different patters (currently used by the USMC are the Woodland and Desert patterns) where as the army use ACU uniforms, which only come in one pattern.

M242 Bushmaster fires a 25mm, not a 30mm, agentscar.

I really think the U.S. Army's loadout should vary depending on the map. For example on urban maps the Army would have M4s or M4A1s but on some other maps you would get M16A4s.

I think I remember being told that any US army soldier out in combat has an M4. I'm sure Kenwayy will elaborate. Speaking of Kenwayy, woooow such a small world the fact that you actually know that guy. In fact, you told me about him on TS a week ago......-insert twilight zone music here-

Any word on a redone model (eventually as in not in the next 2 releases except for the Army)for the armies that need it? Such as China, US Army, and US Marines?

What? I don't remember talking to you about Kenwayy on TS a week ago.

The main weapon really varies from unit to unit. Some reserve forces have the M16A2 and I know some Army units choose the M16A4.

Besides for that you have modernized M14s being used by some regular soldiers in combat zones and probably some rare M16A3s too.

At the squad level, what's the army got for extra reach?

Well I don't know if it is true or not, but from what I've heard/reard here, once you are issued a weapon, you are essentially stuck with it. I don't mean that you have no other choice, but you cant essentially have a M16A2's and a M4A1's serial code with your name on it and switch between them every other mission.

Maybe their basic unit has a M16 in it?

This looks interesting:

Seems that the m14 has more widespread use than I thought
