Three Question on .7

[LtSoucy]

1. I know the Huey will have 7 passengers and 1 pilot.(WIP)

2. I dont think so the Bradley is used as a Anti Air but if or when the Stryker comes it will becxome the APC.

3. No M-14 is used by normal combat troops. The SF forces mostly use it.

What we have in game now is not a Bradley...its a M6 linebacker(a variant of the Bradley). And yes i do believe there may be a chance of the M2 coming from USI as a placeholder maybe or something(because the stryker has no cannon so the army needs the bradley really to go up against every other APC/IFV in game). One of the DEVs said that "he hopes to get the USI humvee" I dont remember who i will look that up when i come back from work.

1) If this mod is supposed to take place in the near future, why exactly are they adding a UH-1 variant? UH-60's and CH-47's are the norm for transport rotorwing, both would be well suited for PR. Someone is already working on a Chinook, although I am not aware on the status of it making it into PR.

2) As stated, the vehicle currently in game and used by the US forces is the M6 Linebacker. The M6 is a modified variant of the M2 model, with the TOW tubes replaced by a quad Stinger launcher. The targetting system has also been set up for ADA. Unfortunately the M6 is being replaced, with the Avenger already seeing deployment. Although having an Avenger in PR would be more realistic, it might not be suitable for the current style of gameplay (It's just a humvee fitted with a launcher on the bed).

3) Not sure why you mentioned the M-14. The question was about the SR-25, which is mostly a DMR version of the M16A4. Right now the USN and USMC use it as designated the Mk 11. The US Army is slowly starting to use the M110, which is a modified version of the SR25/Mk11.

The SR-25 is chambered for the 7.62mm round and not the 5.56mm, and is pretty much a modern AR-10 on steroids. It was designed to replace the M21 (a modified M14), but the two weapons are in no way similar. SR-25's are in use by all branches of the US military, as well as a few other nation's military forces. I actually think it would be perfect for PR to replace the DM rifle we are using now. I'm not a modeller though, so I can wait until someone has the spare time. It's not a game-killing aspect, the M21 variant we have now is fine.

The SR-25 is a very nice weapon. It's a bit lighter weight, has more mounting options, is very easy to transition between it and the M16 (especially for armorers), and fires very well. Any soldier who is used to the M16 (as all of them are) will find it less complicated to learn this weapon. The parts are also a lot easier to get, including modifications. I actually might buy one after Christmas.

Sorry about title, accidenlty hit enter instead of the big delete button XD, could a MOD please change to 'Three Questions on .7'

No they are very lazy. . But I fully understand them. If people would follow the rules use the search function, their time here would be much easier.
Besides there are some 0.7 thread, keep the questions over there, over there.

Why do I do this?

PR-Devs add an UH-1Y because this is a reality mod and the UH-60 is not and will never used by the USMC. Their plannig to split up the US Forces in US Army and USMC, so there have to be an UH-1Y as the primary USMC transport helicopter.

[markonymous]

anyone know if the devs are gonna add a chinook?

[LtSoucy]

Its possible, No WIP on it yet.

Not sure why you mentioned the M-14.

Its the USMC DMR rifle.

And for anyone talking about Huey look in the Guide. its where you find your answers.

[Ironcomatose]

anyone know if the devs are gonna add a chinook?

The official word is no but there is a chinook in the works in the community mod section. The DEVs know of its existence and judging by their reaction to it i would say that it might go in game if its good enough. Go check it out.

The transport choppers are finally getting their full capacity (8 seats), is this true? mayyyyyybe

Will the U.S Army APC be the M2 Bradley from USI mod? don't want to spoil your christmas present




Will the SR-25 be brought back as the US Army Marksman rifle? For this, I unleash Bob Marley

Yes, heavy transport choppers are due to have 8 seats.

2. Top Secret But a M2 Bradley is an IFV, very comparable to a Warrior but with TOW or Javelin missiles. The M3 Bradley is a Scout Vehicle, much like the Scimitar. Its basically the same as M2 Bradley but carries fewer passengers and more ammo. The Stryker is an APC, sort of like a pimped out (very heavily armored and armed) Saxon.

3. No, SR-25 is a SOF Rifle. The M14 EBR is the current Designated Marksman Rifle of the US Army IIRC.

[Hotrod525]

Im sure we got M2 Bradley from USIMod for the simply reason they're in BSS... lol If we can got some fregate from North Conflict (as static) around Carrier will make it more realist than a lonely Carrier... they'are never alone...

[supahpingi]

AFAIk,the marine amphibious carriers(or something)are able to work alone.

[Rambo Hunter]

Will the SR-25 be brought back as the US Army Marksman rifle?

It's a Mk12 Mod 0, not an SR25

Sorry... I couldn't help it...

[Hotrod525]

Yup and in Real combat they will made Great target Like USS Stark

Official sanction from an [R-DEV]! You all saw it! Theres no denying it!

SR-25?

When was that in PR for it to be brought back? Eh?

There has never been an SR-25 featured in PR. Ever.

The following Designated Marksman Rifles have been featured in PR:

1. Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova (Dragunov Sniper Rifle, aka SVD)

2. QBU-88

3. L86A2 LSW

4. M14

5. Mk.12 Mod 0 (IIRC, it might be a Mod.1), fitted with a suppressor.

None of these can easily be mistaken for the SR-25 rifle. I would also add that the no rifle of the designation SR-25 has ever been fielded by any of the factions in PR. The closest would be the SR25M (which is actually a redesignation of the Mk.11 Mod.0), which is fielded by the USMC in a limited fashion.

Also the US Army does not field, and has no plans to field the SR-25. It does, however, possess a similar rifle, the M110 SASS (civilian designation SR-M110 SASS).

So no, the SR-25 will not be appearing in 0.7 for the US Army faction. And it definetly won't be returning, as it has never been featured before.

The SR-25 was briefly fielded by some Army Special Forces Groups and the 75th Ranger Regiment sniper-observers in the 1990s. From what I understand, the SF Groups didn't like them so much (however the SEALs adopted a version of it they designated the Mk-11, which may also have made it into SF Groups and has definitely made it into the Marine Corps). However, the Rangers seem to have held on to them for a while, and may still have them, possibly until the M110 (which when you cut right down to it is a family member of the SR-25) is fielded.

Everything else you said is correct.

[LtSoucy]

lol talk about unleasement, Its like over kill.

[Jaymz]

The way I see it,

M14 - US Army DMR

MK12 (preferably without a suppressor) - USMC DMR
