What I'd Like to See in a Realism Mod...

[tjyoung80234]

Here's what I'd like to see in a REALISM mod (being a former active duty Marine):

(FOR THE USMC SIDE)

-Rifleman Class (with an M16A2, One grenade or random one grenade, K-BAR)

-Squad Leader (Armed with M16A2/M203, one smoke, one grenade, K-BAR)

-Corpsman (which is what a medic is in the Marines... M16A2, or Beretta pistol, medpack)

-STA Sniper (These are your snipers in the Marines... also known as Scout Snipers... M-14 Rifle, NO claymores, no grenades, Beretta, NOT silenced)

-Javelin Gunner (These are now your anti-tank men... the Dragon is discontinued and they don't use a Predator. The Javelin should be issued with 3 rounds)

-Combat Engineer (C-4, Mines and Claymores)

-Force Reconnaissance (These are the Marines "Special Forces". Armed with an M-16A4, or M-4... and should have C-4, and Laser Designators)

I'd change the following:

-Get rid of the silenced weapons. The game bases itself on a MEU which doesn't have these weapons.

-Up the damages on all weapons to two shot max center kills. 7.62 weapons should be slightly stronger.

-Helicopters should be more sluggish, as should the tank turrets/AA turrets.

-Vehicles need to be FASTER. ie. The LAV should not get stuck going up a 45 degree angle. These vehicles can traverse terrain a LOT better than displayed in this game.

-UP the damages from rockets. ie. Cobra... 4 hits is TOO much for a small vehicle.

-Last but not least... PLEASE SOMEONE... get rid of the damn Blackhawks. Marines don't use Blackhawks... Seahawks, or "Sea Stallions" but NOT Blackhawks. The gaming and movie industry is WAY too Hollywood.

*Added Note* I'd also like to see flag captures from inside vehicles done away with. Someone mentioned repairing vehicles from inside and I also think that should be removed.


Just a start.

I disagree with Young on the helos. I fly in MH-60 Pavehawks in the USAF and the physics of the Helos in this mod are as close to life as it can be.

Azzante Active, Reserver or Guard???
I ship out to Basic the 23rd but I'm goin in as cop.

What I really would want is to get rid of the damn flags.
Instead of this CTF mode I would like to see more objective oriented missions like:
seize (sp?) and hold vs assault. For example you need to take an airport in preparation for a larger assault or it could be an entire city block that needs to be taken... You get the idea.

Demolition, meaning there's an objective, could be a dam or a bridge or a building or a combination that has to be destroyed and/or defended.

Recon missions where your team has to sneak through the map and locate the enemy (basically TDM... )

Active CSAR (Combat Search And Rescue) Paramedic. Basically sit in the back of the helo and wait till the PJ (Pararescue) Crewman brings the "victim" into the Helo. On the slow days I work with ground EMS at the hospital. I hope your "attention to detail" skills are honed for basic

I agree with cerro about the flags, not very realistic imo.
Changing this would make a big difference.

Man I wanted to be on those Pavehawks, I put down Flight Engineer, Aerial Gunnery, even thought about taking the PJ test (did take the TACP/SERE) but figured there was too much swimmin.

My top job going into MEPS in Dec was TACP, but I needed to take that test so everything moved up a bump and I put SF on the bottom. Little did I know that it was a Critical Needs.... Oh well atleast I get a gun

Hoping I can get some Special Duty Units... 820th and another OCONUS unit are pretty nice. Hear they even have Jump Qualifed squadron?

As a forum mod I must warn you that you are brutally off topic here.
Please take your fraternising to the off topic section. ;D
