Default Re: Cold War 2020 mod: first release!

hi plasmakrab, posting instead of pm'ing it as i would like to welcome other comments if applicable.

do you plan to remodel rifles as well? this is of course an infamous discussion to date, however i consider it essential as platoon to&e have been constructed around the capabilities of the individual rifle-men and thus their rifle - countries with "bullpup" rifles tend to e.g. have a sniper somewhere in the platoon, assigned or organic, to make up for the range shortfall, or alternativly have invested in MGs rather then SAWs.

i have no idea to what extent this is possible to mod in SPMBT, but IMO the critical tactical combat parameters for a rifle can be condensed to different range groups, and would very widely - a none-scoped "bullpup" rifle e.g. would have a higher short-range (<50m) and lower long-range (>200m) value then say the M16A1. alternatively, the OPPOSITE is true for "long" rifles, especially 7.62mm ones, thus the from my view "traditional" SPMBT approach "all rifles improve accuracy at a set rate with decling range" (i could be wrong) needs to be evaluated - if this is possible. do have an interest in going in this direction with your mod?
