PLA and MEC using SA-7??

The Strela-2 (SA-7) is over 30 years old, the Russians have developed and exported much better MANPADS since then! I propose giving the MEC SA-18 or at least SA-16 MANPADS and China their indigenous QW-3.

I think it's because it'll hardly make a difference, they don't look that different either. The SA-7 is already effective enough and will be even more in the upcoming server patch, so there really isn't a need to replace it. Although i do agree that the Chinese should get their own MANPAD. These are just cosmetic things though really, if the grail sucked ingame then i'd agree though.

Gameplay > Content - once the gameplay is sorted. Content ftw. :razz:

"The laser guidance enables the QW-3 missile to be immune to the heat flares"
pilots would hate that ;)

I think SA7 is ok for now (although it is IR and not radar guided in RL so I dont think enemy pilot would know that he is being targeted)
