Chinese weapons, update time
In a team meeting some time ago in preperation for 0.91 it was decided to give the chinese weapons an overhaul.
The weapons in the overhaul was to be:
QBZ95 (assault rifle)
QBB (LMG)
QBZ95b (smg)
QBU88 (marskman rifle)
Each of these weapons except for the QBU88 share common parts, this includes sight attachments, bolts, bullets, and common buttstock. And the whole system is actually quite smart.
When the original weapon was made we had not yet decided on the higher tri count that we have today.
Therefore there was quite a few things we could smooth up and update on.
To further make the creation process hard back then was due to the lack of reference pictures that we had back in the day.
This can be seen on the sights and scope attachment especially, that in real life looks like this
But ingame is just a cube with a hole and a solid handguard.
This has been fixed though
A year or so ago [R-DEV]Z-Trooper had also travelled to china, shooting and taking pictures of the rifle, therefore giving us some much needed references, this together with the new pictures emerging on the net and the new version of the rifle that was being distributed in the chinese military made it time to update our arsenal.
Sadly due to the extra work in the creation of the QBU88, we have not yet have had time to make it.
We have though finished the uvw unpacking of the other weapons. but not all of these have been fully packed yet. Due to us trying to keep the number of texture sheets to a minimum (to maximize your performance ingame)
This means that the QBZ95 will most likely be featured with some aestetic updates in the next patch. While the other versions will have to wait just a bit longer
The creation of high quality assets for the opfor are in full spin, and look forward to seeing more.

Holy ****! thats amazing!
Awesome work
Why does the QBZ look like the foward part is a P2000?

Re: Chinese weapons, update time
Very sexy indeed! These were already my favorite weapons since they got their fire sound changed (I think it was when the m4/m16 also got their sound change.)

Re: Chinese weapons, update time
great, that will also mean scoped MG for china finaly (as well as probably unscoped marksmen)
slightliy OT, but is the PLA actually using any reddot-optic at the moment?

Re: Chinese weapons, update time
As far as our research goes we have not been able to find any pics of red dot type weapons being used yet.Maxfragg wrote: is the PLA actually using any reddot-optic at the moment?
They do have the ability to manufacture and use them though. although they have to be made for their rail system and not the picatiny rails.
I have seen a picture of a pimped out QBZ95 though, although i believe a setup like i found is very rare and that customization of their rifle is very very rare. the barrel does allow for flashlight attachments and similar though, but only one thing at a time.

Re: Chinese weapons, update time
Good thing the Chinese get some love too .
So you guys will finally manage to get rid of all vanilla stuff. With these and the new SVD the remaining BF2 weapons are PKM, some pistols, Eryx, SRAW, MP5, substitute Chinese sniper rifle and G3 (is it ?) IIRC.

Re: Chinese weapons, update time
That's because like 80% of the maps that were removed in PR 0.9 were Chinese maps.

I think most of these are fine as they are, except PKM and perhaps the Chinese sniper rifle.So you guys will finally manage to get rid of all vanilla stuff. With these and the new SVD the remaining BF2 weapons are PKM, some pistols, Eryx, SRAW, MP5, substitute Chinese sniper rifle and G3 (is it ?) IIRC.
And is the MP5 even vanilla? I remember that the vanilla version was a grey.
Most of these weapons are acceptable quality imo. Perhaps the PKM and definitely Chinese sniper needs to be replaced.
