You need to update your DP with new kits in PR 1.0 - Machine Gunner and Spotter + add LMG class weapon (M78 Valmet for example).

We'll use PKM on both, MG and LMG classes. I never saw a Valmet M78 during my service, hell i've not even heard of it

I don't think the Valmet M78 was ever taken into use by Finnish Forces. The home produced machine gun, and only one actually called light, that is in use is Valmet KvKK 62 (Kevyt konekiv??ri 62, Light-Machinegun 62)

I would think that be the weapon to be used as light machine gun. Of course that would require someone model and animate it. However I have never seen any sort of optic been slammed on it, but I don't think modifying these ugly things would be that difficult if it was ever required. And would every faction need a optic for LMG?

There is talk that FDF is looking to replace them with PKM so its not really unreasonable to not have it in, but I think if nothing else infantry weapons between factions should be as different as possible, for the fun of it.

Well considering the Negev doesnt have a optic, its not necessary for every faction to have it.

Huh, third conventional faction without LMG class weapon (along with MEC and probably Polish). But yes, M78 wasn't used by Finnish Army. Last LMG was that Valmet KvKK 62.

Who would bring small weapons why u can bring somthing bigger:P

Is this M72 LAW going to be the new 66 KES 12? If the russians are going to have more armor the additional punch for LAT would come in handy to balance the situation.

Raic · 2013-08-22, 02:00

What? 66 KES 12 is the identification used by FDF for M72 Law, they are the same.

Hulabi · 2013-08-22, 07:41

66 KES 12 = M72 EC LAW Mk.I, 66 KES 88 = M72A5.

66 KES 12 is not yet in widespread use, we'll think about it later but for now it'll be the 66 KES 88.

Yeah they look the same but 66 KES 12 has a penetration of 450mm while the old M72 has 300mm. So it's even better than the AT4.
