Bingo. It kind of sucks because you want them to get everything right in the game, but there are certain things the you just can't say.

More than likely they will be either "sold" to the Iraqis or moved to Kuwait as PREPO like we did after DS/DS. Look at the fleet of M1114s, they are practically giving those away to the IA and INP.

I would say you guys were the exception not the standard. Though I see your point on the MTOE, the MRAP certainly isn't on it thought we had them coming out of our ears. I think the bigger issue with the ASV is, neither it nor the MRAP are going to be seeing front line duty in an invasion. The ASV is an Armored Security Vehicle after all.

I asked a very similar question about the US CREW systems. Steve's response was something along the lines of "the US vehicles have a lower base chance of falling victim to remote IEDs". He also said that they would look into it to ensure that it was functioning, or something like that.

Roger that. I'm guessing 3/69 AR?

You took that out of context, they were describing the M707, which is in-game already. "Is developing" means was not in service during the time frame of the game. The 200 or so that were in service at that time would have been assigned to MPs and FA guys pulling MP duty.

Okay, well I was in a HBCT and am currently in an IBCT and I can tell you the only people using the M1117 are MPs. The "Armored Knight" is what the MPs use for route security missions or whatever it is that they do.

AFAIK those are exclusive to the MP branch, so I would think they would be outside of CMSF's scope.

You guys can get wildly rich off of me anytime. Thank you for making games for all of us tactical nerds.

It was the please wasn't it?

Not so. As far as the Army is concerned, the M4A1 is only in service with SF and the 75th Ranger RGT. The M231 Firing Port Weapon is also a rarity. That being said, I have been asking about the M249 Para for the US Army for a long time, it appears that BFC is too busy/not concerned about it. As I have said before, the short barrel and collapsing butt stock for the M249 has been the standard for infantry units since pre-2005. Maybe one day we will see it in-game. I hope. Please?

Thanks for the feed back. I hope you guys enjoy it.

I changed the INF icon to represent a generic "rifle/automatic weapon" symbol in order to better represent the FBCB2. I also noticed that the circle with the x in it is actually a marker for a "coordination point", according to FM 1-07 Operational Terms and Symbols. The original INF X symbols are still in the mad folder, you would just have to rename them. I probably should have put all of this in a "read me" lol.

Good idea. I will have to see what I can do.

And here is is... BAM! Thanks for the feed back

Thanks! I made the icon for the grenade launcher, I guess I need to figure out where it went! There will be an updated version posted this evening.

I updated my NATO icons mod to include the equipment added in BF. I also tweaked the original set to make the icons a little more crisp and fix the issue the REDFOR icons had around their boarders. Get it here while it's hot

Bummer. Thanks for the info.

I'm guessing from this photo that the M1114 isn't getting a proper turret. Is this correct? I find it odd that the LMTV has a fully enclosed turret that was designed for the M1114/M1151 series. In fact, I have yet to see an 1114 with out an enclosed turret IRL. Can some one confirm or deny this, please?

Cool. Thanks for the reply.

Steve, since the Brits picked up some CREW systems, are the US units going to get DUKE or CVRJ?

So are all US vehicles in-game now equipped with DUKE or SSVJ CREW systems?

That would be awesome.

Ya win some, ya lose some, right?

It's time for another video contest.
