Medium APC (Cannon and Coaxial weapons, EG: LAV-25, Warrior, etc)
Heavy APC (Cannon, Coaxial and AT missile / weapon, EG: M2A2 Bradley, BMP-3)

This gives us a lot of flexibility as to how we can put on our maps and how we can balance them

Now hold on, is the BDRM now even considered an APC? I mean, my guess is that it is the equivalent of the U.S. HUMVEE (despite the 14.7 mm cannon). I would love to see someone make a chart showing which vehicles are equivalent to each other.

Anyways, so this is the MG on the the MEC T-72 tank currently huh?

na, this MG is only used on vehicles from what I've seen, would need to confirm it with HeavyZ but I have not seen it used on anything but vehicles.

Well, the BDRM aint a APC, in PR it comes more into the class of "recon vehicle", ie, what the Scimitar fits into as well, but only with a scratch hehe.

And na, the MG on the T-72 is the Kord, its a vBF2 MG that was never used ingame

Hey Rhino, I've got a friend here I would like you to meet, his name is Mr. Scotch...

Regarding some questions about this new MG:

1. It will be only used on armored vehicles, not the deployable machine gun positions. What's unique about this machine gun is that it could aim and shoot at an angle almost perpendicular to the the ground level. This aspect would make this weapon quite effective against choppers, especially little birds and other transport choppers.

2. Like Rhino stated, it'd be rather difficult to snipe the gunner out of the cupola. However, explosives will do the trick. The gunner of the MG will be almost impossible to kill when he aims the gun above ~35 degrees since he ducks in the turret. In real life, at around the ~35 degree point, the gunner could use the optic box mounted on the stand to provide accurate fire from inside the vehicle (he basically ducks in the turret but is still able to shoot).

i dont like receiving headshots while gunning the .50. but not anything in pr is mirror balanced, nor is it in rl.
so im sure ill like using the vehicle and trying to keep away from snipers and strykers.

Like HZ said, you should be more afraid with anything with explosives than bullets since any explosion that goes off near that shield will most likely kill the gunner

Looks GOOD.

And really, if your gunner gets exploded out of the turret, you're probably screwed anyway.

Sweet!

Now how about some more choppers for the PLA, eh? *nudge nudge*

Very nice job!! Bravo .

A gunner still needs crewman kit for operating the turret?
