Lack of US/PLA equipment changes

Ok we have all heard this before, but I and many others are vary consered right now over the current State of the USMC/PLA in the game.

For one the USMC are not uesing their correct vehicles. They need the fallowing:

UH-1Y Huey: Agian they don't use the BlackHawk, never have, and never will. they claim it's too heavy, and to slow for their needs. IE thats why they use the latest UH-1Y Huey. Also for the love of god give it something other than Mini guns! Not every darn chopper in the USMC has Mini guns on it. This one would be perfict as it has two M60E4s on it. Perfict for dealing with enemy ground troops.

LAV-AD: This is the vehicle the USMC uses for Anti-Air defence not the M6 Linbacker that the US Army uses. They have for many years refuesed to use the Bradly for it's lack of amphibious capabilities, and it's lack of cross country speed. This is Basicly a LAV-25 with a GAU-12 Mini gun for AA defence, as well as 2 quad mounted Stinger missile pods. Perfict for dealing with enemy choppers/Jets.

Last but not least the BF2ish M1A2 SEP needs a remodel big time. It's missing the Gunners' M249 SAW with blast sheild, and the correct side bags, and armor look too it. When compaired to the new Chalanger 2 that we have ingame it looks crapy, and toned down. There is also the next model that I can't find any pictures of the M1A2 Tusk: It has a remote crontroled 50.cal, as well as all the up grades from the other models. But it also includes some new Armor tiles for extra protection agenst RPGs.

Note: this one has a M240 on it.


The PLA are next: They need some major over hulls to their guns, as well as they are missing key vehicles for their troops:

ZBMD 97 (Type-97) IFV: This is their current Infantry Fighting Vehicle. IT has a 100mm main gun, as well as a 30mm coax for infantry support. it would be a major help on the battle feild. Plus it's alot different from anything we have ingame right now. IE it runs on treads not Wheels, and is fully anphibious.

ZTZ-99 main battle tank: This is the correct tank in use by the PLA. It has a massive 125mm main gun. You can't keep the PLA useing craptacular equipment when they have this kind of stuff already in their military.

Note: All I can say is thats a mean looking tank!


Also the PLA Need a fix on their Type-95 Assault rifle: It dose not have a fully automatic fire setting in it's fire selector. This gives the weapon a vary archadizh gameplay style. Fix this! We have asked it to be fixed for over a year and it's so easy to fix it's not even funny. Yet the developers are focused on the USMC/British. I'm not mad, just upset that something like this has been this way for so long. If there was a problem with the M16A4, or the L85A2 you would of fixed it and did ages ago. Please fix this gun! It can only shoot in bursts or single shot.

I hope this helps the devs with ideas over what to do with these two armies. As we the fans wan't them to be as correct as possable.

As I'm sure you're aware, the Project Reality team are insanely busy working on the content for the British at the moment. If they had more hands on-board to help then I'm sure some of your suggestions would be made/changed.

As for the Type 95 only being able to shoot in burst or single fire:
'The rifle is fitted with a 30-round magazine and can fire single shots or bursts.'

Straight from your own source.

Alot of these has been said before. It would be nice to see but it would raise the mods size to a higher amount. And most dont want that.

US will split into 2 groups in the future:
&+*The following are estimates on equipment, etc.)

This would be my guess in terms of equipment

Repost.

Very, very repost. The DEVs can't do everything at once. These are all known issues and will be dealt with in due course. If you're so concerned about them I suggest you pick up your modding tools and get on with it.

Also, it does not state, anywhere, that the QBZ has a burst limiter. 30 rounds is just as much of a burst as 3. Being able to fire in bursts is, unless specifically stated that it has a burst limiter, the same as saying it is fully automatic.

The "USMC" in PR are currently a composite force of all arms of the United States Armed forces, as last time I checked the USMC don't operate F16s or A10s either, but I didn't see you complaining about that.

Locked.
