There should be less .50 cal technicals in Insurgency

[unrealalex]

I'm not sure but in real life, isn't it rare for a helicopter to be shot down by a .50 cal technical? In PR, it happens all the time. Most times I've read about a helicopter being shot down it was due to anti-air or RPG's.

I think the number of 50 cal technicals on Basrah and Ramiel should be decreased by half.

I also think we should return the non-armed truck that can drop ammo as insurgents do use cars to transport weapons.

What would then be the reason to protect caches. This idea only encourages non-cache defending practices.

I'm not sure about real life, isn't it rare for 200 coalition soldiers to be killed by insurgents in the space of an hour?

A decent pilot, who knows what he is doing alongside a well organised team in PR should never get shot down by insurgents. It's all down to the players.

Remember, this isn't a military simulator, it's a game.

Helicopters arent built of that strong materials, the reason you never see helicopters really getting shot by is they try not to land that close to enemy positions unless necessary.

Fair enough scratch that idea.

A realistic game. Why don't we have 4 sniper rifles instead of 2? Same application. PR does try to simulate a realistic battlefield.

PR is a game, not real life. Go outside for that.
If anything there is not enough technicals in Insurgency. The crappy things blow up on small bumps, can be destroyed by one guy firing a mag into it and the .50 cal gunner has less protection than a guy standing in the middle of the road.
Seriously, I've seen players that switched to the RPK74 when defending with them just to avoid getting shot off 0.2 seconds into manning the thing.

So true.

Because 1/8th of the battlefield is not comprised of snipers.

Otherwise agree with you on that Outlawz.

Well you also don´t tend to pop out of fog irl. Normally you can stay out of range of such weapons.
