How good is your knowledge about everything from weapons to vehicles to everything when you play PR. Let's say you pick up to be the Chinese auto rifleman, would you know the name of your weapon it's accuracy in meters etc etc... Or let's say you enter the British Armed Recon Vehicle, would you know you are inside the Scimitar IFV it's capacity and armament?

My knowledge suck, so I wonder how the rest is.

I've been playing PR for a while and have played with everything there is, tons of times with most of it. I might not know the names for everything by heart, but I know how they'll react and what you are capable of doing with them.

basically what dunehunter said. I might not know all the names but I can use everything except for air vehicles without too much trouble. And more importantly I know how to destroy/kill it no matter what it is! :D

Anything with tracks and a long *** barrel is a tank to me.

A rifle is a rifle and if you arent that far away from your target and aim carefully you can kill it.

It's just a weapon to kill with. And im not going to print the names in my head... ( still has nightmares of the 100000 items I came across in WoW )

MAKE IT STOP!

Anything Chinese, just call Type followed by a random number and you'll be half right...

Imaginative with names, those Chinese.

I mostly don't know the names of weapons I rarely use and the Chinese ones, I have no idea what the PLA L-AT or marksman are called, only know QBZ (rifle) and QBB (support) and I also did not know, that the MEC .50 cal is called KORD

I memorized all of the weapon names in vanilla, due to localization text and kill messages. Without kill messages in PR, I only know the names when I check them out on the site, or scroll through the weapons.

I'm verse with the Insurgent weapons, but there are so few so it's easy. :p I know G.L.T.D. stands for Guided Laser Target Designator. I know the acronyms for Rifleman Anti-Tank, Anti-Tank, Automatic Rifleman.

AP rounds are for vehicles and bridges, HEAT rounds are for infantry and light vehicles. Smoke is another option for the gunner of all armour.

When in doubt, hit C/X/right-click to zoom. I recently discovered the Stinger placements have a zoom that gets rid of the eye piece and zooms in.

I know there's a wait time for the HAT to set up, aim, settle and fire. Can't fire from the prone position. Has two rockets, very handy. Takes time to reload between rockets.

Is this a test? :p

I just know all the weapons name/general stats (maybe not the exact deviation), factions general specs, units name, rules of engagement, how vehicles works/reacts, blablabla...

It's Experience and Passion, a habit inherited from all the BF Saga.
Maybe passion for weapons from RL. :)

uh, a tip for editing my new sign

If it's a tank, of any side I say "TANK!"
If it's a jeep, of any side I say "JEEP!"
If it's an APC, of any side I say "APC!"

Do we see a pattern here? :D

Don't matter what the name is, as long as my squad knows what sorta weaponary we're comng up against.
