MEC Crewman Suggestion

Naruto-kun · 09-16-2009, 05:42 PM

As we see a lot ingame is massive abuse of the Crewman kit.

i Would like to see the Crewmen with a G3A4

Top one

this is a more equal to the US/GB Crewmen as they pretty much use a standard rifle, plus the G3A4 has a collapsible buttstock which adds more realism to it, plus it might end the abuse of the 1337 Crewmen.

As far as i know the Norwegians have a AG-3F1 which is very similar to the G3A4.

meh. I'm betting it would be roughly the size of a m4 collapsed so i'm not gunna argue. Mec are really the only guys who have a smg for crewmen.

yea, just change the bloody weapons for crewmans!
Make a burst fire or single fire! and DONE!

even with a collapsible stock i doubt any crewman would want that in his vehicle.

^ I agree with the g3A4, and Max is right.

He also has a great sig :P

The crewman kit at the moment is extremely fun but a bit too awesome. G3A4 is a cool looking gun. +1 for this suggestion..

Yeah I like this (though it will be an end of awesome times when your APC is down, and you and your gunner and trapped behind it's brunt out hulk holding off hordes of US marines.... *sniff*)

If I'm brutally honest I think all crewmen should just get Pistols like Pilots did. I've been inside a Scimitar several times and a challenger once (driving position at least) and there would be no where I would want to keep an assault rifle - it'd just get in the way.

The problem is the G3 is a big, chunky gun. On paper the difference between a collapsed M4 (757mm long) and a collapsed G3A4 (800mm) isn't that big, but the G3 is not a dainty, easily handlable rifle. Even the German army never issued tank crews with G3 variants (they used to get the MP2). The MP5 is a sensible choice for them.

Big battle rifles, or even full sized assault rifles, are extremely rare in the hands of tank crewmen. Historically they carried pistols or submachine guns and more recently carbines. As the MEC are employing a big battle rifle, it would be accurate to give thier crewmen and such either a 9mm SMG or handgun. If you look back at gun crews, engineers, etc in armies using 7.62x51mm rifles you'll almost always see a Sterling, grease gun, uzi or some other SMG strapped to thier backs.

	Guys, when a new player comes, just answer his question and go on your merry way, instead of going berserk! It's THAT simple!

	The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.
