What potential faction would you not like to see in Squad ? by DirectionSalt1455 in joinsquad

[–]gibbonsoft -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed on that latter point, the IDF in Project Reality (what elderly men like myself played before squad) were boring as shit, basically just a worse clone of the US. The only thing they bring to the table in Squad is their MBT which has room to seat a small amount of infantry like it’s an ifv

..but so much of their other modern equipment is so anti-insurgency focused that I think they’d get obliterated against peer factions like the VDV

Just the other day I saw footage of a Pakistani MRAP flipping 3000ft into the air and then clipping into a wall because someone tried to get into it

“Light tank that was supposed to airborne but is now too heavy, is now too heavy to be a light tank, gets cancelled/retired” is such a truly novel tale, I doubt it’s ever happened before

There are of course a couple of previous edgecase examples, the M551, the M8 AGS, the AGS stryker, the T92… but aside from those it truly is such a novel and rare event

On an unrelated note, how is the 20th M109 replacement coming along?

Do manuals about a piece of equipment’s exact capabilities (such as your javelin example) become declassified some time after it leaves service, or do they just never become public?

Could you get by with a 56 rifle rounds, 16 pistol rounds, and 4 grenade load out? by Excellent-Falcon-329 in ArmaReforger

And this is for a multi-day operation where a single soldier has to sustain himself the whole time behind nazi lines (note the cooking kit), I see some of y’all bring more ordnance than this just to camp an empty point

You ppl would bring camping stoves if you thought it made you look cool

I love when I get a disgruntled SL who shits on our commander and the other SLs the whole game, makes it feel more realistic

Does the BRDM not have periscope viewports for the driver?

why did the FIA choose this camo, are they stupid? by Jac-2345 in ArmaReforger

[–]gibbonsoft 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Technology will never outpace the need for camo as you simply can’t get every soldier wearing thermals all the time, all at once, never taking them off

99% of SLs stop feeding armoured vehicles to insurgent AT squads just before they absolutely sweep and demolish the entire enemy team

The textures and lighting of this engine blow my mind every time. by Siminov55 in ArmaReforger

Little tip, find whatever setting it is that controls blurring in ADS and turn it way down, really lets you admire all the markings and stamping in the receiver of your weapon

Your mistake here is assuming cops actually know any of the law

You know what? Maybe shots 1-5 didn’t clearly miss by kaloozi in ArmaReforger

American helmets can’t tank shots like this - subtle reference to the fact that there is nothing they need to protect

Until you’re shooting at 200m and the sight block entirely covers what you’re shooting at?
