M240B is MIA

[mdterp1987]

This mod does a great job of depicting modern warfare through great selections of weaponry and vehicles. Yet whenever I log in the M240B is always sadly missing.

For those who aren't up to speed, the M240B is the U.S. army's platoon level heavy weapon. An infantry platoon almost always has one attached and they're used extensively. I myself am active army and can say for certain that the army now prefers the M240B as their coaxials. PR has a .50 on top of most vehicles, but current units are switching over to the 240b since a .50 is simply too much.

On a related note, the PR has also always irked me for it's less than stellar depiction of a .50. These things devastate their targets - vehicles do not need 10 rounds or whatever it is to be destroyed.

In conclusion, one of the most exciting weapons in the U.S. arsenal is sadly missing from a great game. A .50 in urban zones should be much more limited but also 10 times higher up on the destructive scale. A 240b is the perfect weapon for the engagements PR is making.

Added note: Yes I did a search for this topic. I know my way around these forums as I've been around much longer than almost everyone left here. Please add any feedback we have and hopefully this weapon will be given some attention for a future build!

Discussed to death, I'm afraid. "M" designations aren't always long enough for the search feature to work.
