Re: rifles gripes
i would imagine however that is a game of technology. there should be no question as to the comparison of individual rifle technology on the average combat power.

If you wish to experiment with different combinations of accuracy, HE kill and range for rifles then run tests as to how those changes affect gameplay and REALLY look at the results objectivly.....please, be my guest. Have fun. make sure you don't turn everyone carrying an AUG into supersoldier. We already ran those tests and that's why the numbers we use in the game are the number we use.
The "real combat terms" I mentioned in regards to rifle usage is training and experience. They are the main factors on how well any given weapon works on the battlefield and that co-incidentally is also how it works in the game. The better the experience and moral, the better the results A rifle is just a useless lump of steel, wood and plastic in untrained hands, It has no "accuracy" until given to someone capable of using it and that's were experince and moral come int.
The bottom line in game terms a rifle is a rifle and we've already gone through this debate and the decision was made to treat all modern assualt weapons equally becasue saying an AK is a 1 accuracy and a M16 a 3 simply does NOT make a change in game play . ( but it does to people who scroll through the OOB's looking for things like this ... would we be having this discussion if the M16 were a 3 accuracy in the OOB??) Weapons issued with scopes have a higher accuracy number ( and others have been added in the new OOB's like the AUG ) but it has a very small effect on the game. The rifle does not win battles, the soldier carrying it does and that's what you'll see in the game as well. The nations with the better weaponry always have better experience and moral numbers and those are what carry the battle. Tweaking the nations carrying an M16 to 3 from 1 makes next to no difference but increasing the experience from 65 to 70 does. Giveing M1A2's to the Egyptians does not make them equal to American crews in the same tank. Same basic weapon though.
