GPMG/MG kit loose optics in update?

KneeHiGh · 2013-08-23, 14:16

I choose the MG kit on Al Basrah last night the normal one not the ALT and there was no optics... I asked my other squad members and they had the same result on other maps - a GPMG ironsights only.

Is this to be a permanent change now, only iron sights for the MG gunner kit?

Brits never had a scoped GPMG for their machine gunner kit.

Same for Canadians but perhaps they never had it. I don't remember.

Canucks dont get it either. The only blemish on an otherwise perfect army.

That's why I find it weird that GPMG, which have better accuracy (single shot) and less damage drop over distance when compared to LMG, often lack the scope; while all LMGs have the scope. This makes no sense IMHO.

Who says it has less damage? Its got the 7.62 nato round? The LMGs generally only have 5.56?

Less damage drop over distance

I.e. the 7.62 retains its killing power better over distance. My wording was apparently ill-constructed in my previous post.

From the combat videos I've seen, that featured M240/FN MAG, I only saw the Americans use them with optics. Speaking of Americans, most of the time USMC had M240's with a 6x ACOG with a Trijicon RMR on top of it. Are we gonna see it in a future release or...?

I provided references for it, but it was modeled with the wrong ACOG. So hopefully.
