new more powerful infantry weapons

Hello I've been playing since .2 feel and I feel like the weapons in your mod are underpowered. You guys should check out the new weapons the US army plans to field as early as 2010
I want to be able to use the NLOS-launch system (missiles in a box) and it would be absolutely devastating! I think it could be the deadlier replacement to the javelin/SRAW weapon system used today.
discussed here (https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f22-mi ... os-ls.html)

overview: The NLOS-LS is a highly transportable box the size of a port-o-john that houses 15 precision attack missiles (PAM) which have a 40km range (possibly 60 km) these missiles launch from the top of the nlos-LS and travel at supersonic speeds to a target area. The PAM is first guided by GPS then guided directly to the target by 1 of 5 methods:

1 laser guided by the soldier’s IR laser or a laser designator on a UAV
2 Use thermal mode to home in on a vehicle/personnel closest to the GPS co-ordinate via thermal FLIR camera
3 direct GPS co-ordinate attack
4 operator guided, the missile has a thermal/video camera and can send video feed to the soldier/commander who can redirect it while in flight
5 GPS/laser/operator guided delay fuse. This makes the weapon penetrate bunkers and bridges and detonate inside

At the target it can detonate it’s warhead in 2 ways

1 Direct attack mode - for armored targets
2 Air-burst grenade mode for anti-personnel role

The NLOS-LS can be airdropped/helicopter sling loaded and humvee mounted. The army also plans on developing the robotic M.U.L.E. I suspect they’ll want to have autonomous missile system carried by an autonomous vehicle.
The plan is to later add a Loiter attack missile (LAM) which would have a range of 200km and the ability to circle over the battle field for 30 minutes as a UAV then nose dive for an instant attack on the demand of the ground soldier

What I think is creepy about the LAM is that they are developing a search and destroy ability. Using image identification it would be able to ID enemy vehicle types (t-72, BMP-3) and attack them autonomously; though I’ve heard the LAM program is temporarily suspended because of poor performance- still this is cool stuff :-P

Could you guys implement this in your game? Modeling a box that shoots missiles should be easy though PAM missile AI could be a bit of a challenge

other factions would also be better with some sort of ground based AI fire support that is called in by the infantryman.

also can you please add the FN f2000 rifle with the fire control system?

the f-2000 isn't widely used. it's more of a specialty weapon for contractors special forces and cia ninjas, still I'd love to use one of these

Sportsmanship doesn't exist in warfare or gaming.

for the NLOS, its not currently in use. the devs arent gonna add something that at the very least doesnt have a schedule to be in use. stuff in the development phase, like basically everything you see on futureweapons {nlos}, is basically out of the question.

and the f2000? again, tell me an army that uses it? yes i know its an awesome uber 1337 rifle {actually i think it looks hideous} but the devs dont add things because they look cool. they only add that which is in current use by whatever factions are in the mod at the time.

"it's really cool, but it isn't used by any army I know of, can it go in PR?"

No ;)

Locking for re-suggestion/future weapon-ness.
