Pretty sure that's a perspective thing.

Anyway, thanks for posting this bosco, the US Army looks great! My only big question is if the new HMMWV will have six seats (the previous USI model only had five)? Also, anyone else notice that the M68 Aimpoint is in? I would love to see that on more than just the spec. ops. rifle.

I know it's been talked to death over on the PR forums, but it would be nice to see the Stryker (which looks incredibly good) with slat armor and Mk19 variants. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to part 2 of this update, not to mention .8!

I've got to say, the work done there is pretty sexy..

Questions:

Will Driver and gunner of the stryker be looking at a screen while shooting (like driver of stryker in arma) or will it be like tanks and other apcs so far in PR?

and you think you could put on a reflex sight for the rifleman w/o a scope? Keeping the other kits with regular iron sights? (talking about the square reflex sights, like in that one COD 4 night mission)

God, I hope the guns won't have extremely unrealistic kick that only a 10 year old would receive (like the g3). Hell, I hope the g3 can be fired full auto and still have great accuracy (compared to now).

**Sabre_Tooth_Tigger** · 06-08-2008, 04:22 PM

I still prefer the auto of the AK101 when Im playing MEC but they shouldn't make the G3 any more lethal. Dont use full auto unless you have to or they are in your face especially when they definitly wont increase the 20 mag, that alone makes it a bad use of the gun

Will the US army DMR get a m21

**Taip3n** · 06-08-2008, 04:49 PM

Can't say I've fired a G3 in real life but I know even a Browning has a kick on it like a runaway rabbit when your holding it by the legs. The pistols seem tame here. The SLR (7.62 old British rifle that looks alot like the G3) I have fired and that kicked. To me the G3 on auto is as it would be on auto. Iron sights, up close and personal, is the way forward. Always a medic is handy.

The AK's I'm still having trouble with just aiming and that was my personal favourate once upon a time (noobtuber that I am). I am hoping this 'blur' I seem to get nowadays will go in the update so I can once again haunt the US presence and their new toys ^^ (though the G3 is good enough <grins> ).

you can at least fire a burst off without it hitting you in the head like it currently does.

Like tanks and other APCs.

You mean an EoTech?

As I said, M14.

**Skud** · 06-08-2008, 06:27 PM

I have no problem using bursts with G3. I just don't advise it. It's situational.

**Mix0lydian** · 06-08-2008, 06:34 PM

the question is not whether the Army gets the M14 or M21, as both are pretty similar in appearance and M14's are pretty common as DMR's in Army infantry units.

the question is whether the USMC DMR is introduced. It's basically an accurized M14 w/ a McMillan fiberglass stock. Frontline Marine units deploy with this rifle, not the current M14 in-game.

this is however low priority compared to other things like GL M16a4 and L85

the recoil of the G3 is fine

**Sabre_Tooth_Tigger** · 06-08-2008, 06:49 PM

Oh yea, hoping all the GL have scopes next version

Kat you cant expect everything to be literally true. Just for a laugh, here is what I want the US army to counter your full auto accurate G3 with, saw is so yesterday

**206 Wolfpack** · 06-08-2008, 08:02 PM

What about a javelin that locked on for the marines? HAT would definitely have a whole new meaning...

**Sabre_Tooth_Tigger** · 06-08-2008, 08:11 PM

Have a look at this list:

F3 in firefox lets you search it quick with a keyword, javelin is on there sorry
