PLA in need of fixes:

I don't know about the rest of you but there are some major issues with the PLA right now. IE the fallowing:

Type-95: This gun for some reason in the mod has a full atuo setting. In real life it is just like the M16. It shoots in eathier burst, or single shot modes. It has no full atuo. It realy ticks me off when I see PLA troops ingame rip into full atuo with this gun when the real life weapon can't do it.

Here is a link for proof:

here is also an exsert from the site that prooves my point:

Standard sights are of the open type, graduated from 100~500m. The front part of the barrel in the standard version assault rifle is left unobstructed so that it can launch rifle grenades. It also can be fitted with an under-barrel grenade launcher or with a knife bayonet. Fire controls of the Type 95 rifle consist of a trigger and a safety/selector switch, located at the rear left of the receiver, behind the magazine housing. The rifle is fitted with a 30-round magazine and can fire "single shots or bursts."

Here are some things the PLA need to have added or changed for them:

Typ-98 mian battle tank: This was at the time BF2 was made the tank that they were testing and had not been pout into full production. Also it was given a new name under the Type-99 and had new armor and camo added from the version we see in BF2. Here is a link to that tank:

here is a picture that clearly shows that they added both an EC: "Electronic Counter messure" system, and explosive reacitive armor to the turret and the front armor for better protection:

Here is a close up of the EC system on the top of the tank:

The Z-10 is also wrong due to the fact it was still being tested and the PLA had not decided on the weapons it would carry:

It dose not come fitted with the USMC style 30mm nose gatling gun. It comes with a russian style AT gun like on the US Apache or the Russian Havok.

Here is a shot that clearly shows this:

They Also need the AK-47 model and gun replaced with their current main battle rifle:

Type-81: This is still their main assault rifle in the PLA. It is currently being phased out but for now is still their main weapon. Note the diffrences in both look and make to the AK-47 and Type-56:

If these things were added and changed the PLA would more closely show the military they are now. Not this throughen togather BF2 junk that EA came up with. They would help show off the PLA as they realy are like the US, and British are in the game. I'm not saying we have to work on it now but will there some day be a patch totaly dedicated to the PLA to fix these issues and make them more like they should be?

I thought the PLA Rifle was handcrafted by an R'Dev.

Gunwing, please do a search next time. These are minor issues we have been aware of for some time; the PLA in-game is not lacking in anything that would significantly alter gameplay. We did not make the models for the WZ-10 and Type 98, and correcting models that EA/DICE made isn't a high priority. Most of this stuff will be corrected in time, but unfortunately the WZ-10 is likely to stay to have rough equivalents of most vehicles in the conventional force factions. The QBZ-95 is going to stay the primary weapon of the PLA in PR because of the "near-future" setting.
