I thought Robbo was in the Army?

Lmfao, No...applied for Royal Marines though need to wait for them to get back ot me

@Dirty Harry he said it inst possible to have IRON sights not a SUSAT.
@MaxFrag actually you are wrong

Their is still the Iron sight rail look carefully.

And the M16A4 with M203 and ACOG will be sweet i hope it will be Black unlike the M16A2 place holders...
Is 0.7 when the whole M16 EA series is replaces by shinny new PR M16A4s?

I hope they look like that

Well I've seen pictures of guys in iraq with iron sights.

Not with a UGL on an A2 on it you haven't.

If support troops (medics etc) don't get issued SUSATs and are issued rifles with iron sights instead, you can bet your balls they aint issued UGLs

Medics only carry weapons for self-defence. Taking part in offensive ops means they forfiet the protection granted to them as red cross representitives under the laws of armed conflict. Walking about with an underslung grenade launcher is probably a little too 'aggressive' for field medical personnel

IRT the original question, please be aware that the mod's main aim is to get the British Forces into the game, although we'll be adding to each faction as we get the assets etc.

Some seriously exciting new maps will be in 0.7. The new M16A4 range will be introduced, new vehicles will be introduced, and the main 'gist' of 0.7 will be to further polish the assets, classes and factions we currently have ingame, 'completing' the factions. bThese points have been covered before in various guises by other Devs, so I'm not mentioning anything new

imagine that medics with UGL's launching giant sized Paracetamol's and painkillers.

I didn't no you could get UGLs on the A1:S didn't even no we had UGL's when we had the A1 i thought we had Rifle grenades?

Anyway any chance of some teaser pics of the new M16s?

Try telling that to the guys who's shooting at me while I heal people in PR

Part of the early stages of the FIST programme. Never actually issued though, as far as I know.

Anyway, for v0.7 the USMC will get a punch in their collective face if they don't stop asking for teasers and complaining about the M16.

The M16 is one of the best weapons in BF2/PR, why complaining?
One burst in the torso and your enemy is done for it.

I can see it now, all the Devs with their terry cloths and polish, swirling maddly as the deadline approaches, trying to achieve the best shine possible

tbh, I want scopes on Medics weapon.

Why:
-people will start using the kit
-better self-defence

-so they take the load off the Riflemen, who are the only ones with scope

Why NOT:
-becuase its not realistic, and this is a reality mod, which basically kills the idea

Enough?
I scream for a medic, check the map and see one or two red crosses on the entire team, one on an average day.

And even that one just stands around to find the glitch, where he can heal himself, but gets shot or bleeds out before that.
Or he doesnt even know, how to use the medibag and stares at you, while you bleed out.

But now back to topic.

Works fine by me, do you just not like having full auto available.

I vote for more explosive barrels on maps so we can have a target practise comparison of these guns.

I'd also like to see Binocs taken away from the Medic and the Engineer class. EVERYONE can't have Binocs!

Maybe the USMC will get an AAV of sorts?

A soldier can't afford $20 binocs?

10x50mm binoculars cost at least $50
the ones in game with good clarity and mil-dot crosshairs for range estimation would definately go for $200+

to make binoc shooting (using binoc to aim and then switching to iron-sight rifle and headshot) impossible, the supposedly $20 binocs should lose the crosshairs
