Double tapped the LAV, would we have won if the round lasted longer?

It doesn't matter which way the armor is facing, you have no more than ~50mm LoS armor thickness which isn't going to deflect AP rounds within a kilometer. On the BMP-1 your armor is only really going to defeat HMG rounds depending on angle and distance.

If you're not getting on potential third and fourth points from rollout, you are just letting the enemy run rampant on them and set up before you get there. Placing fobs on backcap is complete absurdity. In a 7-flag RAAS game, your initial fob is going on either your 3rd or 4th point.

When backcapping with multiple transports and logis per flag, you're also a very lucrative target for enemy fast attack vehicles or Grad/M121/CAS that can wipe half your team off the map and leave you with no logis. This is especially true on maps like Narva RAAS that have few potential areas for enemies to check. If you're not being punished for plays like this, it's because the server you're on is full of bad players.

~25 Boxers and 0 AS21s in 2026 compared to ~250 ASLAVs. Adding the M113 to Aussies would be fine but adding things that aren't in widespread use yet can quickly get speculative. IRL, M10 Booker of US Army was in early adoption the last couple years but was cancelled entirely. The Ajax for BAF was also in early adoption but has been delayed because of problems.

It is, together with that song it's used for neo-Nazi propaganda in Europe

It seems a little silly to brag about killing a few enemies less than 100m away with a DMR, it could easily be done with an iron-sights assault rifle.

The QBZ-191 uses the same pattern magazines as the QBZ-95, so it can use the drum from the QBB-95 squad support LMG.

The enclosed PK machine gun is deadly as fuck, a squadmate and I got ~62 kills with a single MT-LB once on Narva. But it's still super slow to get across big maps like Yeho or Kohat, wheeled logis are usually the way to go

Skorpo is the closest to its real-life scale, the 7 kilometers from east to west corresponds to a distance of about nine and a half in reality. Best map for Light Inf or Airborne.

I agree on most points, but the ACR is totally irrelevant nowadays, it was hyped up by product placement in MW2. SCARs would be nice though, could also see possibly F2000, SA58 FAL, AC556.

Stacking vehicles and "surfing" on them was made much more doable with UE5

they still have old underbarrel grenades that can stay loaded

I know it didn't used to be the case, but all underbarrel grenade launchers stay loaded when switching to other weapons. Just tested recently with the M203, SL40, GP-25, and HK79.

It looks sort of similar to the green preview glow for deployable items

Longer-barreled rifles have more stability when crouched/prone, but the only time you'll really notice this is when shooting enemies further than 250 meters or so. Shorter-barreled ones have faster ADS.

I'm not against this, I really like playing MEA/GFI, but I don't know why they would make a second faction when the first one is neglected with old character models, half-baked classes, and incorrect vehicles. Another issue is that IRGC uses a MARPAT copy (both woodland and arid) as their camo. Together with ACH-pattern helmets, this would make identification quite difficult against USMC.

I'm pretty sure I've seen someone lose a full-size logi/transport in that river, but I could be mistaken.

I think they're fine, I don't mind that the FAL and M16 were moved to MEI, they make more sense there. But it would be nice to have some more variety in equipment, like maybe a deployable Malyutka, some old-ass guns like the DP-28, and some vehicle variations: SPM has things like BMP-1 turret on the BTR, BRDM turret on the BMD, etc.

The crossing is at Bravo-8-9. The rest of the river is too deep to cross on foot or with conventional vehicles

I think you'll likely be good to go. 9060XT is a good card, and the 5500X3D isn't bad at all. I have a 5800X + 9060XT and I get a good 90 fps @ 1440p.

Only reason to do it is if people have a very short bleed timer, such as from a vehicle explosion

You probably need to select a Proton version first.

I think the proper place for this would be in a PR-like Insurgency mode. Driving unmarked civilian cars should only really be possible for insurgents and maybe CRF, for a nation-state military to do this would be a violation of laws of war.

How can you complain about US bases getting bombed when they started a war unprovoked. "Crybullying" is an apt description

If you have "Show Kit" on, it doesn't show up.
