Project Reality Forums

I don't mean to overlap with the whole "realism of the MEC" topic since it got locked (in a realistic FPS realistic combat mechanics are what's important, not realistic politics), but the MEC's lineup of weaponry and accompanying explaination seems odd. Where would a middle eastern coalition find the money to outfit their army entirely with new AK-101's a 5.56mm ammunition only to toss it out and replace it a few years later with old HK weaponry and 7.62mm ammo?

Wouldn't it make more sense if the story went that the MEC began with old G3A3's and HK21-E's and was in the process of transitioning to modern AK-101's?

Heh? Where'd you get the "toss out the AK-101 and replace it with the G3" from?

A little bit of me just died.

The AK-101 is going out whenever the new G3s get here.

uhm, the weapon change isnt supposed to represent any story or actual change, its just that that was the vBF2 setting and it was eventually changed.

My understanding that it was "part of the story" came from this link: http://guide.realitymod.com/index.php?title=MEC_Weapons

If it's going to go universally to the G3 in future versions, that makes more sense, though I think a middle eastern coalition would probably use a lot of old kalashnikovs as well. If they were going to attempt to adopt NATO weaponry, aquiring some old surplus MBR's seems more feesible than buying a bunch of shiny new hybrid stuff.

yeah , some time ago, i suggest give the MEC some aks pickupable in certain maps.

Or some Bizon PP19s...

Locked. This has been butchered to death by many newcomers to the forums. My advice: search first.
