Squad Is Getting The MG3 | Complete MEA Faction Overview: All Weapons, Vehicles & Kits Coming in B22

[@Ditchy69]

Still remember early days when me and my old clan walked around with a couple of devs on a server and they were showing us things like bullets hitting water barrels etc getting excited about small details and the future of the gamd.....and now we are here. Love this game!

[@WhiteRhino27200]

I was there, I think it was alpha a or b I don't remember. Sadly I have yet to play the game I expected to play back then, but we are getting close (need INS revamp) !

[@snipzgamer1828]

The right way. The communist way.

[@reubs91]

Still needs to fix some mechanics. My mind is 5 moves ahead and if the game fucks up, like having to stop double tap space to get over a object that should be a one tap, for example, it gets me killed, not for a lack of skill but a lack of better programming.

[@slyderace]

If they could only fix the damn lag for helis, I'd return to squad. I stopped playing Squad since V21 because the heli lags so badly! They fixed it with V20 but then ruined it with V21! :(

[@slyderace]

As you can tell from my name, I'm a pilot. I don't play squad to run and gun! I have over 600 hours of flying helis in Squad :P That's why I never play COD, no helis!

[@Seanmurdoch66]

I appreciate the new kits and MEC faction especially the MG3, In Project Reality the MEC crewman have MP5's which I was hoping to see carried over.

[@TheSunderingSea]

I was hoping to see some KH-2002's for the MEA, and not just an MEC copy.

[@Gerwulf97]

My favorite memory from PR is with the MG3. The map was Muttrah, and we as the MEC had pushed back the Marine assault nearly all the way into the sea. There was a large cargo ship in port, and myself and another machinegunner climbed our way to the very top of the superstructure and had a perfect angle on the docks where the Marines were making their last attempt of a counterattack. Helicopter after helicopter landed, infantry squad after infantry squad tried to cross the expanses of the docks, but they were cut down by our MG3s, pouring tracers from the bridge of that ship. I am so happy we're getting the MG3 in Squad. Can't wait!

[@EcchiRevenge]

Unfortunately Squad has even more Blufor bias than PR - M4 burst is interruptible without downside *and* has no artificially delay between bursts. Also, it seems Squad has way more recoil on MG3...etc.

[@Gerwulf97]

@@EcchiRevenge Except that's how 3 rnd burst works. Every other game gets it wrong.

[@EcchiRevenge]

@@Gerwulf97 Squad got it wrong too. If you haven't heard, Stoner burst counter doesn't reset when you let go of trigger(unlike H&K burst) so if you click once in burst mode, next "burst" only shoots two rounds. Or you interrupt burst at two rounds and the next burst(which you wanted to be 3 round burst) is just one shot. This has *always* been wrong in Squad. This is the real reason U.S. military kept teaching newbies to *not* use burst - because people can forget where they interrupted the burst and click out an amount of rounds unintended.

[@Gerwulf97]

I do wish that the MG3 and NSV technicals could do 360 degree aiming. Otherwise, those look a lot more powerful than existing open top technicals, thanks to their high ROF weapons. I am glad that the ZF1 can be ranged because I hate having to guess were shots are landing with the 1P29 and SUSAT optic. I do wish we could see the AKM, as that is still heavily used by the Iranian Army(which the MEA seems to be based on) alongside the G3. It would also be cool to see the MPT-9(Iranian MP5 with straight magazines, like that seen in Insurgency Sandstorm) for Crewman Kits. Also can the MG3 be ranged?

[@kasrakhatir]

Don't forget UZI. Iran and Turkey both use them

[@dennislongbeard9412]

WOW.. i love when they put the G3 and the MG3 in games, both weapons i used when i was in the Army.. love them.. cant wait to get my hand on them :)

[@RamaOneShot]

"T-72 with reactive armor", well russian T-72B3 also has reactive armor, it's turret is covered with reactive armor as well as hull frontal plate (hull ones are covered by thin steel plate, they are harder to notice, but you can see bolts that hold ERA on the frontal plate). T-72AV uses contact-1 (small blocks, effective agains heat, useless against APFSDS) , T-72B3 uses contact-5 (larger blocks, effective against heat, lowers incoming APFSDS penetration).

[@EcchiRevenge]

Apparently Relikt bricks were used to replace Kontakt-5 on newest T-72B3.(despite outer casing looking the same, since individual bricks are of same size) Not that OWI will let RUS have obr.2016.

[@RamaOneShot]

@@EcchiRevenge Nope, T-72B3M still uses Kontakt-5. It has additional 4C23 on the backside of the turret and 4C24 on the sideskirts. Relikt is installed only on T-80BVM and T-90M.

[@EcchiRevenge]

@@RamaOneShot Nope, what you see from the outside is just the casing; real K-5 blocks do not look like that.

[@RamaOneShot]

@@EcchiRevenge T-72B3M doesn't have Rekilt and thats a fact, if you are reffering to Eng. Wikipedia, the article is wrong.

[@EcchiRevenge]

@@RamaOneShot Not at all. The side mount looks like that of T-90MS because that has *better coverage* not because that's the only container that Relikt fits in. Tell me, did you think the actual ERA blocks are shaped exactly as outer shell lines suggested? As far as I can tell Relikt is of same general dimension as Kontakt-5 but it has two moving plates instead of one. T-90MS's upper frontal hull arrangement just angles it more effectively and provides better coverage(more blocks covering where towhook used to be on UFP, while towhook was moved onto LFP). So while it's not as optimally angled/covered, it's still Relikt. Otherwise, do you think Russians are retarded, upgrading all the fancy optics, engine, and even side armor but neglecting the frontal armor?

[@HeyRay07]

The rocket artillery on the BRDM and scout car look like a hell of a lot of fun

[@sovietbottle-cap1649]

The mea is just saudi arabia with russian vehicules. Most middle eastern countries are equipped with mostly either western or russian weaponry cause you can't have strong military ties with 2 rival blocks at once.

@@LynxErgo well but Kornet and 73mm gun for long range for example kohat would do very good but lack of stabilization would surely make it more balanced.

[@oomerimunni]

The 4x scope really isn't a sniper scope. It's a marksman scope or a combat optic. I was a marksman and my service rifle was the Swedish AK4 with the Hensoldt Fero Z24, the same on they added to the G3. It's a pretty good optic for being from the old ass age.

Why do game devs insist on making diopter sights on the G3 and MP5 block you entire vision. That isn't what it's like to look through the rear sight of a G3 in real life. IRL you look through the sights with both eyes open so the rear sight mostly blurs away into you peripheral vision.

[@SaturnVII]

Because that's on paper how it works when in reality we just aim with our dominant. HK diopter sights aren't the pinnacle of engineering. They're my least favourite part of my PTR in all honesty.

[@sam8404]

I haven't seen any game that has been able to capture what it's like to use those types of sights in real life. I don't think they insist on making it that way rather they can't make it work as it does in real life, at least not in a way conductive to good gameplay.
