Fallujah West Stuff

[=Romagnolo=]

must play this map

Trust me,you can fit an LAV-25,and/or M1 Abrams on those streets...And,all the main streets hopefullly will be paved when the map is released,or it won't be like actual fallujah...But looks cool.

Tank + Narrow Street = Bad

[agentscar]

Well,LAV-25's then...hopefully...

But seriously,have you seen those narrow Iraq streets that Abrams' roll down...it's awesome,lol.

LAVs would also be unrealistic in most situations as they are only used by the Light Armed Recon units, although in game I guess they are placeholders for AAV7s. I'd prefer to just have 3-4 .50 Cal and 2 TOW HMMWVs. I dont recall if they were involved in Fallujah at all. I know they had a role in Najaf.

While it's mobility lends itself well to recon elements, to say it's strictly used by recon units is inaccurate. In 2007, there were more than 700 LAV's in use by the USMC. There was/is a healthy mix of LAV's and AAV's in Fallujah (and in theater in general). To leave it out of any map hinting at "realism" would be a crime.

Guys i don't think the map is making a look like the attack and the huge battles fought there. It looks more like duck wanted it to be a USMC partol and INS all attacking. Some what like Basra.

But still a M1 should be put in knowing that if it goes into the cities more narrow streets its going to get destroyed..So it should only be driven on the main roads/streets and outskirt of the city. Providing fire-support for the Marines.

No. It shouldnt. The entire purpose is a small scale infantry battle with light vehicle suppoort. Its a small map. Its not the recreation of Operation Vigilant Resolve or Phantom Fury.
