[Faction Proposal] JGSDF Forces

[sekiryu]

Btw, your video of the Type 89 is at the top of a youtube search of 'type 89"

My airsoft Type 89? Heh...didn't think such a crappy video would get so many views.

There's a couple islands down there near Taiwan. Shimojijima, Irabujima, Miyakojima. I was surprised to find that Iou Jima is out in the middle of freakin' nowhere.

That video reminds me of the BF2 intro, Pirates of the Carib, Metal gear solid, Blackhawk down, Ace combat, Mongols looping LB, and the US army.

I LOL'd at the part with teh sub at 0:54 reminds me of the opening of PotC woth the small boat, (but with japanese sub insted!)

Actually, I've been looking about. This could be an amusing addition.

The JGSDF dont issue scopes for the Type-89, and the DMR version of the Type-64 is ususally fitted with a 2.2x (compare with all the other factions rifleman kits who get 4x, and all but the british DMs who get 6x). From what I understand.

*loads QBZ-95*

Now, for some nice, long range enguagements...

I have seen quite a few reddots on Type 89s. I've seen one tacticooled nearly to M4 level 0_0.

Hmm, the British DMs should just have 4x, since they use the SUSAT.

[[R-DEV]Bob_Marley]

Sorry, badly worded, I meant that all the DMs BUT the British get 6x scopes. The brits get 4x, as they have SUSATs.

Anyway, the JGSDF issued red dots to the detachments sent to Iraq, but they are not standard, and there is no ACOG/SUSAT equivelent currently in service with the JSDF.

nah have the danish armed forces too, they are the only scandinavian country with a standing armor brigade, whereas sweden and norway don't have heavy armor.

There was a good video (user is gone ) that showed a Type 89 with what looked like an Aimpoint. I know they use the Tasco MD33 reddot. Apparently, they are allowed to buy their own reddots and attach them.

[[R-DEV]Bob_Marley]

True, but they'd still loose out at longer ranges against the PLA's scoped QBZ-95s.

Random idea: To attempt to balance this defficency, why not issue all classes with a rifle with an RDS, rather than having 4x scopes for the riflemen and officers?
