"Replaced Taliban scout SKS with a PPSH"


Wouldnt it be nice if the Featurelist/Bugreport could be more friendly to users who are not familiar wih everything that can be shortformed? The aboove line is only an example.
For a guy using a SKS everyday its probably cool to have a PPSH, I understand very well.

But what is a SKS and what is a PPSH... and what is seven hundered other shorts?
LAV I know its approximately the same as an APC...
But I dont have the translation table for everything else!

Please advice!

Why won't you google it instead of forcing others to do it for you? ;]

Because Самозарядный карабин системы Симонова and Пистолет-пулемёт Шпагина tell you so much more about what they are....

My philosophy is quite simple. If I don't know a thing the devs are talking about, I a) look it up or b) sit back and trust them explicitly.

When talking about specific weapons, it's really hard to get any more general than that. Unfortunately 'high capacity submachine gun' and 'semi automatic rifle' are a little too vague.
