Only the US and brand new factions will have similar amounts of work put into them, once the PLA have two factions.

Red - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I know red is a traditional Chinese color, but it was not used in any recent uniforms like in vBF2. They had red cuffs, red shirts underneath their camo, and bright red stars all over their helmets and hats. IIRC they only use red stars on vehicles, at least since the 80's.

If there still used today and we have a working model why should they remake them?

The PLA have many custom hand weapons but vehicle wise as of yet they have pretty much none, but in time that will change

how quickly and how well that change will be will depend on a few things thou which is mainly down to eggman and UK_Force to decide...

Hrrm, I was going to sig that wink there, but it's not necessarily a "dev" wink, even thought you had tags on earlier today

I could give you a big list on things we are planning for the PLA but I wont, and I asked to have my tags removed again since I had not finished my brake.

Sure, just remember, this is coming out of your pay

But really, the PLA haven't had much attention lately, but I expect that between 0.9 and 0.95 they will be getting many new assets. Their MBT and scout car for example are WIPs, and the PLAN seem to be making very good headway. Hopefully they will become a faction doing some of the assaulting, and not just the defending.

EDIT: FFS, Scot, stop it with the lolcats, you've lolled me hard enough last night.

That ZTZ-99 looks epique' and that VN3 looks like something from the MGS series. But hey, it will be great to replace that amazingly horrible beaner-mobile of a nanjing! And the camo was a not so far back suprise, so i think they've been well supplemented.

EDIT: Scot....you just killed me

lol beaner mobile

i think the PLA have come a long way from vanilla. as far as the vehicles go, well the vanilla apc probably couldnt be improved a whole lot, ive seen pictures of that apc in real life and the vanilla model looks damn near perfect. the main battle tank, well yeah atleast someone is working on the new one. i think part of the reason you havent seen alot of change for the pla is because, in all honesty, i think EA/DICE did a damn good job on them from the beginning. i know thats hard to believe, but i mean look at the player models, look at the vehicles they made. its tough to improve upon those.
