I'll start off with the Chinese, since alot of the most popular maps feature them.
Chinese
- Type 81 Assault Rifle
From what I understand this is the most common rifle you'll see in the PLA. It's a complete seris unlike the Type 56. Sporting a SAW and collapsable stock version.
Also... almost every source I've seen notes that the Type 81 replaced the Type 56 long ago. Virtually, we're the playing the 1956 chinese team at the moment.

- Type 95 Assault Rifle
This is probably China's most modern looking rifle. Most sources say it's scheduled to replace the current Type 81 rifles, and other say it has replaced alot of Type 81s as of now. And seeing as how it's some of it's variants are already in game, let's just put in the full package shall we.
It would be a nice alternative to the Type-81, serving a lighter 5.8mm weapon against the heavier 7.62 weapons.

- Type 03 Assault Rifle
It's essentially another 5.8mm weapon. Though it's been finalised, it's not known whether or not it will enter service to to complement the current Type 95 rifles. It's just something to consider though.

- JS 9mm Sub-Machine Gun
Also relatively new (And damn sexy I might add). Do I need to say more?

- FHJ-84 Twin-62mm Rocket Launcher
If you guys consider Special Forces based maps in the future, consider giving this bad boy to the PLA team. Though I guess the main problem is just finding some good information on it.

- PF-97 80mm Fuel Air Explosive Launcher
One thing I would like to see is the inclusion of thermabolic warhead weapons (Basically RPGs designed for infantry). This is the Chinese canidate. Can't say more than that.
http://www.sinodefence.com/army/individual/pf97.asp
- PF98 (Type 9
120mm Anti-Tank Rocket LauncherThis is the latest recoilless launcher being developed by the Chinese, and is expected to replace the older Type 78s and Type 65 recoilless launchers.

- Type 87 Grenade Launcher
Greande Launchers should also be added to the game. This here is the one and only Chinese version of a GL.

Now for some Vehicles
- EQ2050
A Humvee copycat for the Chinese
http://www.sinodefence.com/army/transport/hmmwv.asp
- All Terrain Mobility Platform
This made me laugh. Though I would love to ride around in one of these things
http://www.sinodefence.com/army/transport/all-terrain.asp
- QL 550 Light Armored Vehicle
I thought of this as an interesting vehicle. It offers the transportation of a normal jeep, but is much more armored and much more suited for the battlefield.
http://www.sinodefence.com/army/armour/ql550.asp
That's all for the Chinese.
Next up we have the Middle-East Coalition
MEC
- Khaybar KH2002 Assault Rifle
Just recently saw this at World Guns. It's being developed by Iran (Which we all assume is apart of the MEC). So perhaps this AUG look alike (IMO) could find a place in the MEC's arsenal.
http://world.guns.ru/assault/as81-e.htm
- AK-103
In the attempt to make the MEC look more "modern" I would suggest the AK-103. I would have suggested an AK47, but it looks abit old alongside the Khaybar I suggested previously. The AK-103 looks like the AK-101, but it fires 7.62mm rounds. This can add variety amongst all the G3 rifles in the MEC's arsenal.
http://world.guns.ru/assault/as05-e.htm
- AGS-30 Grenade Launcher
To continue with the GLs, heres the latest from Russia that would be ideal for the MEC forces.
http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl22-e.htm
- RPO-Shemel
For some more anti-infantry rocket goodness. We have the RPO
http://warfare.ru/?lang=&catid=278&linkid=1847
- Kornet Anti-Armor Missile
The MEC needs their own anti-armor emplacement. The Kornet would be my suggestion.

- Vodnik & Variants
I know it's already ingame. But if you've ever seen pictures of a vodnik, you know that the ingame vodnik really isn't a vodnik at all. First off it's actually amphibous (That's why it is nicknamed the "waterman"). And the model just seems awful. And like the other vanilla jeeps, the passengers need to be concealed.
http://warfare.ru/?lang=&catid=247&linkid=1793
- Some other things in general
We need an enclosed Humvee, when was the last time you saw a picture of U.S troops riding on the back of a Humvee? Same with the Vodnik (As mentioned above) and the Chinese Nanjing as well.
That's all I have for the moment. Feel free to contribute.
