[quote=""'[R-MOD"]Mongolian_dude;1849880']You will find the exact translation of my post means:
[spoiler]A) The Militia's design mean they have inferior firepower, in terms of their assets, deployables, CO abilities, optics.
B) The Militia does not have access to various forms of mobility - rarely do they ever field APCs, and never IFVs, Trans Helis or anything other than soft-armoured, wheeled transports.
Although the Militia fight often on AAS, they have the defensive advantage:
They might find themselves in dense, ex-soviet urban environments, where conventional armour and aircraft become risky choices, especially when every other soldier is armed with an RKG.
They might find themselves defending flags or natural chokepoints that are flanked by mountains and forestry.
They usually have access to AT cannons that are placed around points of tactical importance.
Their weapon load-outs give their infantry access to weapons that excel in CQB:
The AK-47 is a favourite for its heavy caliber, good RoF, manageable recoil, higher-end mag size and a bayonet for the brave.
The AKS-74U is available to medics and SLs, which has a good RoF and very manageable recoil and stable accuracy and is good at both CQB and medium ranges.
The PKM and M60 both chop dudes up with their top end caliber, good RoF and impressive mag sizes. They are scary weapons in a CQB firefight.
The PPSH-41 might lack a heavy caliber, but makes up for it with a legendary RoF and mag size and is perfect for leading the charge or flanking unsuspecting foes.
Even the Militia SL had a damned skorpion as his side-arm for a while, which was utterly gangsta. I think the decision to remove it was a good one, as it was a bit excessive for one soldier.
Some of their kits are better geared to ambush warfare:
Where many standard kits and the HAT have access to RKGs.
The Militia HAT is much better at close range strikes, as it has no deploy time (20secs on conventionals' HATs), no warhead-arming time (20m on conventionals' HATs) and is hard to recognise and target amongst other Militia RPG-7s and RPG-27s.
The AP rifleman has IEDs and nade traps that offer him more options than the convectional forces' claymores.
The combat engineers Arty IEDs are one of the most powerful weapons the Milita have access to, and can present a greater threat in the natural chokepoints on the maps the Militia always seem to fight on, than the open deserts and multiple approaches the INS/Taliban fight in.
Ammo technicals are perfect for supplying these ambushes, as they can get lots of ammo to multiple locations and are able to reach hard-to-get-to positions. They can navigate dense forests, unlike many conventional forces' trans helis and are much more discrete when doing so.[/spoiler]
They also have INS mode, which makes it obvious they are a conventional faction.
They are one of my favourite factions because of all the above.

I know all of that, I posted how easy it is to attach scope to AK; I did not suggest to simply give militia scoped variant kit for everything.
They still have a lot of firepower disadvantage(even more so in cqb) if you give them scoped SKS(which is still very viable) due to obvious restriction to firepower that SKS has. Just one kit(that sucks in CQB anyway) to make Militia slightly more well-rounded on infantry level. I have made plenty of long range kills with SKS before and it would be pretty awesome to give it a scope to make it do better at the only thing it is good at.
[quote="MaxBoZ""]There's not one Militia map where any of the conventional forces can achieve the advantage by using a scoped rifle. In ANY situation on ANY of the Militia maps it is ALWAYS better to have a normal unscoped rifleman kit. This goes for both the Militia and the forces they are combating.
To be fair in PR itself on 90% of the maps it is wiser to take an unscoped kit. Not only does it give you that small ADS time but it also forces people to go for kill shots. It also makes you improve yourself by taking your time and outsmarting the enemy, you try to adapt. The sole exception to this rule is the G36, that aimpoint has horrible peripheral vision.[/quote]
There is fool road, which has plenty of thin trees and lots of open spaces(I play militia on that map the most).
Oh, and when they want CQB...british infantry can simply request ironsighted kit from apc.
Since when does scoped rifles have more ads time again?

AK-74 already got scope as marksman kit; as dumb as that is, it is a start.
Nothing wrong with adding a x4 PSO onto SKS(slower bullet speed, I assume, bigger bullet drop, no ability to reload before it is empty, low magazine capacity...plenty of disadvantages there, but gives Militia something viable for long range when one does NOT play on uber-high resolution).

In those rare situations, Militia NEVER has SVD because Militia rarely gets the APC to request from, if ever.
