Project Reality Forums

i looked in search forums and found one reference to this, but that was to the old versions of PR, are the devs looking into the CROWS system on Hmvs at all? Or is it still a map issue placement?
YouTube - Common Remotely Operated Weapon System. Ala vBF2

i hope that they bring it in sometimes soon, is is a great thing, and well, okay it is inbalanced, but that is reality, the balance should be fixed with something else

Why does there always have to be balance as in adding another vehicle to the opposite side?

I like the idea of the CROWs system....but I think it would just promote a similar action that is rampant in game already....the single crewed tank sniper.

People would just lone-wolf the CROWs mounted vehicle.

Asymmetrical Balanace FTW!

The DEVs don't appear to be big fans of the heavy jeep concept (humvees, nanjings, etc), generally teams start with APCs, which are basically just more heavily armed and armored heavy jeeps. I wouldn't mind seeing some CROWs humvees, but I imagine the stryker will be much more prominent, and given that it doesn't seem all that necessary to have another vehicle with a remote weapons system.

I think crows might be too good. Its not just about team balance but the weapons themselves should have some skill and risk to their use for the sake of a good game.
In theory we could just sit on a fully armed and operational carrier and bombard the shoreline and that'd cover alot of the maps, it'd suck as a game though.

Stuff like jdam works because you still need one very vulnerable guy sitting in a field with a simple pair of binos or whatever. Crows at least vs non rpg infantry would be close to unbeatable

well, and because it is glitched sometimes and does not cause damage to people.

I think the best way to resolve the whole .50 cal problem (people are not afraid of them and just shoot at it to kill the gunner) then 50 cal gunner can survive more (consider this even because of a new .50 cal deviation system they are adding)

there is also a new vodnik model done with a 25 mm on it? something like that. This would be even if (for example) the mec team got 4 vodniks on their team while the usmc got 2 crows and 2 tows.

Been suggested before.... By me

It has the 14.7mm.

14.5mm KPVT with coaxial 7.62mm PKT. It uses an upgrade of the turret found on the BRDM-2 that was originally installed on the BTR-80.

A HMMWV with CROWS would probably be similar in gameplay to the BRDM-2. But, as pointed out, this has been suggested before, so I am locking this thread.
