M202A1 FLASH

[Adetter]

I have a little suggestion here, what about adding the M202A1 FLASH (Flame Assault Shoulder Weapon) to PR:V?

Aka.Grim Reaper

Grim Reaper: "http://www.youtube.com/results?search_ ... cher&aq=f"

I know, it is a semi auto rocket launcher, so it would be owerpowered unless this would be done:
1.Maximum 8 shots(2 mags)
2.Not high damage(just enough to destroy huts,bunkers etc.)
3.Normal speed but looses hight quick(which means not easy to fire at long range)
4.Not effective against armor, also not HEAT ammo (High Explosive Anti Tank) but maybe a low damaging ammonition type based on HEDP (High Explosive Dual Purpose) since it has to make shrapnels
5.Only one class, taken from crate or maybe just like in Forgotten Hope, a class found only certain places
6.The class has only two weapons, the M202A1 and a Colt M1911(or another sidearm) + some equipment
7.And if possible, make the damage against infantry just as much as a 40mm GL, but still able to destroy huts

Just a suggestion, no flaming please

[Doc.Pock]

this might work but dunno maybe little overpowered

I imagine Eddie will be in here shortly enough, but as I understand it very few, if any, of these weapons ever made it to the field. It would be a bit ridiculous to add it to PR:V when its use in Vietnam was basically 0.

Isnt this in the new CoD?....

[Eddie Baker]

The M202 was not formally type-classified until 1972 or 1973. Could find no word on how many actually made it to Vietnam. There was a similar, prototype launcher, XM191, that was tested in Vietnam, but only 300 were ever fielded during it's evaluation period (late 1969 to early 1970).

Isnt this in the new CoD?....

Yes, along with several other anachronisms (it's set in 1968, if wikipedia is right). From the sound of things it's basically MGS3 without mecha and superpowers.

[Adetter]

Is it in CoD? I knew they had M134 prototype but a M202 in CoD must be, owerpowered?
If PR adds any maps based on after 72/73, maybe it could just be one class in the crate .But stupid thing is, the troops got started to pulled back in 73,.....

[Teek]

We need a swarzenegger class called Commando with this, a shotgun and a m60

[Adetter]

Unless its not owerpowered, which PR could prevent making it. It wouldnt be Schwarzneger....

Then why have it if we cant portray it atleast a bit accuratly and realisticly?

[UberWazuSoldier]

Make sure to have it periodically blow up in the player's face as well! From what I gather, it was not a very popular weapon outside of its five minutes of fame in Commando... Gotta love that movie though.

[Adetter]

Is Commando a movie? I actually havent seen it, i think it was on a TV Show or something...

[Adetter]

I also agree, if it never was used in Vietnam by regular troops, since PR aint making this special forces, dont have it in.

Yeah CoD : Black Ops is really strange, having a Steyr AUG in a battle in vietnam is kind of wtf, but the game is cool, its still fun.

[Adetter]

Why the !@%" should US Soldiers use AUGs in Vietnam :/
You see, i have the game. Got it a few days ago. But havent played singleplayer that much.

This doesn't happen.
The only mission with the AUG comes way after the Vietnam ones and takes place in Russia. Don't know about the dates the mission is suppsoed to be but I heard the Devs on a video say something like because it was special forces they could use weapons which hadn't been brought into full manufacture or service yet. Load of bull.

[Exonar]

Can't wait to see the G11, Spectre and China lake suggestions as well.

Don't forget that PR only implements weapons that were used in the majority of conflicts during the given time periods and in given role.

I Also feel that they need to put in a kit with a mini gun a crossbow with exploding bolts an under barrel flamethrower and some kind of small child's toy packed with 5 lbs of plastic explosive. From what I have read This was stander ed issued to American grunts.

No.. it was only issued to cool super l33t special forces dudes who talk like they don't care about dying..

[Adetter]

What part of no flaming didnt they understand? And why cant you realize i didnt play the game until 5 days ago, after i made the thread. I saw this on Discovery or something. And China Lake actually had a small useage in `Nam by Navy Seals.

Dont forget that nowadays there is alot of weird weapons out there. Like "The Corner Shot". Not trying to say that your wrong, those weapons were made (many of them never got past alpha stage aka.Prototypes). They just werent used.

As stated before, if the M202 never got used by regular foot soldier, then dont even think about putting it in.
