Just wondering what was the rationale behind giving the APCs such a hideous rate of fire in the latest version of PR?

 

Anyone know (especially our R-CONs)?

 

FYI: Something like the US LAV-25 should be able to fire 200 rounds per minute.

Apparently they got this info on the rate of fire from their military advisors and thats why it is as is.. or thats what I was lead to believe

Warrior & Scimitar =/= LAV-25

 

Warrior & Scimitar uses the L21A1 30mm RARDEN Cannon. It has a maximum rate of fire of 90 rounds per minute. The LAV-25 uses the M242 Bushmaster which has a 200 RPM fire rate.

That link has way more info...

Lol so it is only the Scimitar and the Warrior?

 

That is ok then. I know they have a different (read retarded) weapon system, poor brits.

 

My bad I must have been playing as the brits A LOT lately and somehow got it stuck in my head that they all changed.

 

Apologies, you can lock this thread now.

 

Thanks.

 

BTW I love the new BMP-3 on Oil fields that thing has guns coming out of everywhere. Pitty it has no sabot rounds Oh well tanks have to eat something for breakfast.

 

+1 for Bradley IFV in the next version or even better all APCs getting TOW missile systems. Well all the ones that have them in reality at least.

Hmm I seem to feel the same way, strange that how there's overall more USMC maps in PR but there always seems to be more Brit maps in play...getting kinda annoying.

I thought the alternate fire shot small sabot rounds?

if you press the F key while in an APC or tank it will swich the main gun between high explosive and armour peircing rounds. although the BMP-3 might not have them but all the other APC's seem to.

The BMP-3 looks like a BTR-90 (the standard MEC APC) except more big and boxy. I think it is only on oilfield not sure though.

 

It has a 30mm autocannon like an APC (don't know what ammo type) as well as a 100mm main gun however the main gun only fires HE. I am also not sure if it has a machine gun but I don't think is does.

 

Actually it is interesting that there was so much of a big deal made about the Scimitar which is almost identical to the Warrior only worse because it can't carry troops. And I never heard anything about the BMP-3 being put into the game. What's up with that?

Primary fire on the BMP-3 is a 100mm HEAT shell. Secondary fire is a 30mm autocannon which fires SABOT rounds.

 

BMP-3 is only on Al Kufrah Oilfields atm.

I love the BMP-3. A suprise HE round on the hatch while shooting sabot rounds will destroy an enemy tank before they can even get a shot off.

Yeah the heat can take the US APC with ease as well 1 shot I nailed one last night set it ablaze, dual fire rocks
