Historical accuracy vs L33T new gear!

So basically if the L33t new gear becomes common on the battlefield then yes it will probably be implemented. But just because something new has been adopted by a country doesn't mean we'll be in a rush to but it into PR like for example Multicam for the US Army.

Thats not what Im asking though! I'm saying will the new things (whatever/whenever they are) be put into maps where they are not actually historically accurate!?!

The question isn't actually about new stuff in game but the historical accuracy element of it!

Nah, they are on about the old design L85A2 with the greenish handguard at the front instead of the new RIS.

Yes, the old design will remain on Al basrah, and new RIS will be slapped in elsewhere, or in al basrah until they find a new home (e.g, the desert panther CLV)

Well, let me elaborate on this quote. As of right now, the Marine infantry is currently replacing their M16A4s with the M4. All non-infantry MOSs will still use the M16A4 except for those that the M16A4 would be impractical to have, I.E. air crew, armor crewmen, and SNCOs will all carry M4s. It's just like the M27 IAR might replace the M249 SAW in the infantry (pending Gen. Conway's approval).


To Everyone:
Just because something in-game doesn't correspond with something IRL or there's some historical inaccuracy, it doesn't mean it has to be changed. I know that the Marines might end up replacing the M249 in the infantry and if it does, I'm not going to complain that it's not right. Just like the game is modeled with the M16A4s and I know that the infantry is replacing them with M4s, I'm not going to go after the Devs to get it changed. Just play the game and have fun.

There is no history in PR the map makers decide what factions that should be on the map. After that whats added to the factions will also be on those maps I guess.

PR is supposed to be set in a fictional future setting. So we are not trying to be historical, and copy the war that was fought. We are trying to capture a fake war thats not being fought aside from in the PR community

The OP created this thread in response to Rhino's comments in the Panther CLV thread, which contradict what you're saying:

It's already clear and understandable that PR has a double standard when it comes to accuracy, as it represents both fictional and historic conflicts. But it gets complicated when you update a factions' equipment in response to recent changes in the field whilst maintaining maps based on old operations (eg. Basrah).
