Technicals

Post by Rhino »

(was the only pic i could really find :( )

any ways. Why not give the MEC some Technicals? it would work really nicly in my map, and some others and give it more of a feel to some maps. Put a LMG on the back like a RPK and then only give it so much ammo ect. Then the rest of it can be used as fast transport. Im sure the MEC would use technicals as they wouldnt get much funding anyways.

also you could put a AT rocket on the back of them ect for diffrent 1s :)

What you all think?

Well Technicals are kind of insurgent-like and low tech. Isn't the MEC an organized army thats well-funded?

If you can load some of the buildings too.. like the school house and shopping center... I think that would be kinda cool to look at.

America was a tad late into the First World War. They redeemed themself's and came in slightly sooner in the Second. Now they seem determined to start the Third.

yes but they wouldnt not have anything like as much funding as the USMC do. So they would probaly make some of these for a cheap asset to there forces.

How would know the MEC's funding? If they can afford Russia's latest export weapons, why would they resort to technicals? Lets stop stereotyping middle-east nations for being generally poor.

Technicals aren't going to do any better than the Vodnik in terms of special operations missions. In fact BF2 actually missed probably the most important feature on the Vodnik; that its amphibious.

Doubtful. The middle east is generally very wealthy. If most/all major Arabic states formed a coalition, I can guarantee you they're budget would be alot larger than that of the UK's. Technicals are generaly a cheap, easy to maintain, pickup with an old Soviet made, easy to aquire and maintain, machine gun. The main point of them is that they're extremly cheap. A MEC would have no use for them. Period.
