iirc there have been plenty of debates on the GL launchers, so the only discussion here should be regarding modelling etc of the Dutch version

not directly quoting, but I believe that the result of the discussion was that it would be akin to a APC HEAT round, and a community member made a LOVELY model of the mk-19

imo you guys have plenty to do without making a weapon like this, so if you can get a hold of that mk-19 model, use it as a placeholder and get other stuff done

Its the correct transalation but in the wrong Englisyh order, The order is correct in the Dutch way.

But yea, just skip this until the later stages when as you may need extra things to counter the 14.5 mm vodnik etc...

the 40mm would basicly act like a normal APC-round with a larger splash damage & less accuraccy.

The 40mm round is exactly the same round like a 40mm m203 round, only fired at a higher velocity not requiring a arch trajectory.

Its belt fed with 25 rounds on one belt so if you would give the jeep 3 belts, inlcuding 1 allready loaded ( 1+2 ) for balancing, so you have 75 rounds.

lol... This would be like epic pwn in the servers =P
Me like it XD

But yeah... if adding such weapon to PR then the other community mods will demand Automatic grenade launchers as well. I'd say that if added it should be in very limited numbers because the damage it could cause is... well... a lot :twisted:

My idea was just to have only one mounted on a jeep and have the rest use .50 cal.

Well we have decided to put it in, so if anyone would like to volunteer to model it? KP?? :)

It has a low priority atm since the weapon platform must be created first. ( MB209/FAV )
