CROW.

After extensive searching I couldn't find any suggestion or thread relating to the fairly obvious point of updating the HMWWVs with CROWS - Common Remotely Operated Weapon System. (Except in Military Tech. Threads)Possibly it was lost after the forum change.

The reason I ask is that I read in a random thread that this was being worked on.

Is this true? And if so, when can we be expecting this in-game?

Thanks :razz:


PS. how did I manage to spell the title wrong...

Was in OPEN Beta because the Proving Grounds map was accidentally slipped in.

If you don't understand, it means that yes, it's ingame and working (maybe still WIP though), but not been released for the Public yet.

we have it in PR we just do not have it in any maps as we need a asymmetrical map to use it in, put it in any symmetrical maps and it will throw off the balance with the PLA, MEC, brits etc not having them.

only 1 USMC vs Ins map at the mo (off the top of my head) and thats Desert Storm, which they would not be very effective on.

I guess AGLs wouldnt be bad as defensive positions on mains, to reduce teh_rape....But anywayz, the stryker gonna have something similar i would think?
I think all the APCs could use the 'stryker optic' effect, with all the pannles and buttons. Its what it looks like IRL anywayz.

Well, make it inaccurate on the humvee's, like IRL! and limited ammo supply of course even if its over powered its a good weapon system. insurgents has RPG's, IED'S VBIED's.. if you wanna make it even more fair why not add bigger IED's, supplied by vehicles on the road, with a right click, if you right click again it detonates :)

:shock: :-D

But yeah, CROWs were in the beta, hopefully they will be in the mod sometime in the future.

They might come into play a lot more in Objective based insurgent modes...beyond what we have now.

That's it. We need a faction representing 'THE A TEAM' and that has to be thier main ride!

I support the A-Team Faction

IRL there is never balance. The last time there was a balanced battlefield it involved knights and horses. Rather than strive for balance we should go for accuracy to RL. Just look at Basrah and Mestia, the team with the superior equipment does not win most of the time I play.
