New stuff with the US Army, etc.

[EOD_Security-2252]

First off, I just want to say in response to the CROWS thread below that the all the factions can have their nice, safe inside-controlled turrets, but the USMC should not. This is because, and it's been true all along, the Marine Corps doesn't get new stuff. Marines will probably continue to have outside turret gunners for sometime to come, just like they still have hueys and Sea Kings when Blackhawks are a superior platform.
Also, does anyone else think that when they add the US Army there should be a requestable Airborne kit?

on the airbourne front there was a detailed discussion a while ago http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f66-...ight=airbourne

And I agree on the CROWS front since AFAIK the open turret, perhaps with a gunner protection kit, is more common?

[Maxfragg]

the point is, that on some maps the crows would now actually balance it, when the have the new Vodnik and the chinise VN3

The Marines do get new stuff, just it would really unbalance the game and till other factions recive theres it wont come in.

I'm not saying CROWS is a bad idea, it's a good idea and giving all other factions CROWS-like stuff is ok too, but please list some examples where USMC actually gets new stuff (in real life, not in PR). Even the EFV, they were looking at getting it etc, but they never really got it to replace the AAV.

The M16A4 newly designed weapon. given to the USMC.

Well in all honesty, for the use of the HMMWV CROWS system and the M1126 Stryker it should be in the hands of the U.S. Army. At the same time, the most practical use of these light vehicles with remote gun controlled systems should really be on an Insurgent map with U.S. Army forces. But there really isn't any maps that fit that description at this time to the best of my knowledge.

Not to be a pain but the M1126 Stryker is useless on all major front line engagements against a well equipped army. Such as the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) and the Middle Eastern Coalition (MEC). Don't belive me? Think about it, how often do you see an LAV-25 Pirana or a BTR-90 sitting back at main base on Kashan Desert because no one wants to use it? It's not surprising. And in actuality, they're better off than a Stryker.

In Project Reality a single Tank shell, Heavy Anti-Tank missle, or 2 Light Anti-Tank rockets will most likely destroy these things. It's just the way it is. So there really isn't anything spectacular about these vehicles. Hopefully they're atleast amphibious as they should be.

To the best of my knowledge, the only Stryker varient the U.S. Army forces will have is the remotely mounted .50 caliber machine gun. But it takes several different varients to work together as a team. Maybe if we could get varients of these craft in an attempt to simulate a coordinated mechanized squad it'll be useful.

I doubt we'll ever see the Mobile Gun System (MGS) varient. However the Fire Support Vehicle (FSV) with the mortar may be possible.

Yeah U.S. Army is pretty advanced...but we cannot put this in PR cause "Thing have to been balanced" and most of those system will not work well ingame.And i think rely to much on technologie is a disadvantage on its own... what happen in a nuclear conflict ? or just EMP over battlefield ? all you're stuff is down.
