That's what I don't understand.....why does everything have to be balanced 100 percent..............I mean if i find a Chinese or Russian Support Truck Version with a Gun mounted on it I will post it, but the Chinese or the MEC side doesn't have a TOW Humvee equivalent?

I am not ragging on you sonic, but you are saying that a .50 cal mounted machine gun on a support truck would sway battles too much? maybe because i'm still at work and its been a crazy day that i don't quite understand what you are getting at, but how would a mounted .50 cal machine gun on a vehicle sway battles in favor of the US?

I see what you are getting at sabre, i just thought that this could be utilized even in only insurgent based maps...for example the insurgents have a huge advantage against the US at the start of the Korengal Map, when I thought of a mounted .50 cal gun on the support truck that map came into my head.

Whats the equivalent to the TOW Bradley on the MEC or Chinese side? You can Say APC, the APC doesn't fire a AT Missile. Yes the BMP could be somewhat comparable, but at the same time both are completely different.

How about with Helicopters? The US has an advantage with the UH-60 over the COW.


The MEC is restricted to the Russian Military Vehicles/Armor and weapons (with the Exception of the expensive black market H&K's that are in use).

The Chinese is restricted to the Chinese Military Aresenal with the exception of Russian Influences.

The sad thing is that I knew right away people would say that the .50 cal mounted support truck would be then used as a frontline vehicle, which can be curbed by other people saying how its not used for that purpose, but then again i've seen it used as a front line vehicle.

I just don't understand with PR and with the development that if one side gets something the other side "has" to get something to the same equivalent, that is all.

The 5-ton truck is a huge logistical asset to the US Military, and the.50 cal mounted gun is in use as we speak.
