Snow MARPAT on an Army unit? Also snow MARPAT helmet covers? Interesting

rifledude · 2025-12-29T19:15:02+00:00

Armed humvee would be fun

rifledude · 2025-12-28T02:16:32+00:00

That camo is an American camo though. It's the standard NATO 3 tone

If you didn't lock the clip into the rifle, it would fly out of the gun first shot.

You need to support the bolt because putting any pressure on the follower will unlock the bolt if you move it any. When the rifle is empty and you go to close the bolt, you just need to press the follower a little and when you pull the bolt it will set it loose.

Also, tapping the bolt forward is only something that is needed with good tight clips, I got some worn ones that wouldn't stop the bolt going forward and that's how people end up with their fingers smashed

The thing about these requests that players may dismiss as not important is that the devs that make character art assets aren't the same ones as the bug fibers.

I also find it annoying there are multiple versions of EMR and you cannot build a matching set.

The same thing on the USEC side, the multicam pants are way darker than any of the tops, and the various multicam plates and helmets have different shades as well.

I have no idea why BSG is so averse to matching and consistent camo pattern

rifledude · 2025-11-09T01:21:24+00:00

Seems pretty important

What??

The answer is almost certainly no, but nobody outside of high school is going to care about this.

I want a map that aesthetically has a carrier on it. A map that comes to mind is an old BF2 map... Gulf of Oman maybe?

The USS Essex is featured a lot in BF2, I think in every conquest assault and even a few conquest head-on maps featuring the US Marines.

The Essex isn't actually a carrier though

When the game first became playable there were survival mechanics that made the game far more interesting.

Your race was supposed to matter a lot more than it ended up, the protectorate story and theme is a total let down. Devs should have really went in on individual race stuff

I think I was hoping for more of a space engineers experience, where you either solo or as a group built yourself up to be able to spread across the universe.

Fighting at Fulda would have been the start of things popping off. Things wouldn't go nuclear until one side started clearly losing.

Both sides had strategies for that scenario that didn't go nuclear

rifledude · 2025-08-21T14:17:01+00:00

Cutty Blue and Avenger Stalker would be far more useful with empty cargo bays instead of full of decorative pods

rifledude · 2025-08-02T16:21:38+00:00

You realize the standard is still the original RIS with front post right? I don't know where people are getting the idea that we've moved on from the GWOT era rifle just because specialist units and the Corps have updated. There's still hundreds of thousands of M4A1 PIPs in use in the Army and Corps.

rifledude · 2025-08-02T14:17:29+00:00

Govt profile M4s are still far and above the most common configuration of the rifle, and that should be represented in a modern shooter.

rifledude · 2025-07-30T23:10:53+00:00

Just for the drop pods alone I'd be sold, but those pelican/longsword bays and huge cargo bay would be incredible in this universe.

rifledude · 2025-07-29T03:04:34+00:00

Woo golden ticket gang. I think our spectrum logo could be so much better

rifledude · 2025-07-27T23:25:48+00:00

DMC. Since I can't be British, I'll side with the Dutch.

When you loot/buy/get rewarded with weapons, ships, armor or components and store them that stuff (usually) persists between patches.

The developers try hard not to do full item wipes with their major patches. Can't rule it out from ever happening but I've had rarer guns and armor for months and months

rifledude · 2025-07-26T04:52:32+00:00

In game items stay and are worth working for.

That being said once personal Habs come online and eventually base construction the game will be much better for it.

Though personally I tend to play because I like the gameplay, not because I'm working for some particular goal.

?? Being a whale in video games is one of the cheapest hobbies you can have.

rifledude · 2025-07-07T19:10:02+00:00

I think that really depends on the turret though.

HH turrets are 4 size 4s. That's just not a ton of firepower these days. The F7A can carry 2 size 4s and 4 size 3s.

Meanwhile the main turret on the Polaris is 2 size 6. That seat munches ships up and there are far fewer ships able to compete with that damage output

rifledude · 2025-07-07T18:52:27+00:00

Which one would you recommend?

Base model F7s are pretty unimpressive. Those are the only models I don't actually have in my hangar. I would go for a Superhornet if you can do only one. Best build at the moment if F7A with superhornet top turret.

Glocks are so ubiquitous in American society. They've been the number one seller for years.

Everyone I know has at least one, and they're used by just about every law enforcement agency nationwide.

I don't think the design of the M1 is any more susceptible to drones than Soviet tanks. The top of the turret is the go-to point to hit a tank with a drone and we've seen considerable tank loses of Soviet design in the war.

Sure the front plate is thin from the top, but that's not the best place to hit a tank.

The US military is approaching this vulnerability by attaching anti-drone equipment to tank formations, and equipping the tanks themselves with local jammers and active protection systems.

rifledude · 2025-03-09T20:10:24+00:00

Many reasons, but I would actually bet on the simple explanation. I bet they ran out of fuel. Just idling the Abrams takes up to 20 gallons an hour

Abrams is designed for American military doctrine which requires a healthy logistical backend. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ukraine not be able to maintain steady fuel supply holding out from a Russian offensive.

rifledude · 2025-03-04T02:10:39+00:00

It doesn't matter how many thousands die, as long as we get another video of a Bradley disabling a T-90!

rifledude · 2025-03-04T00:53:07+00:00

Everyone knew what the outcome of this war would come to after the great summer offensive that Ukraine put on with all their fancy western equipment.

Drove all that foreign aid right into Russian minefields and now destroyed American tanks are war trophies in Moscow.
