Changes to the Page

Hi guys, I find that it's a bit odd for the RPK, RPK-74 and RPK-74M to be dumped under one entry, and for the AK-74 and AK-74M (and as a result, AKS-74 and AKS-74N) to be lumped under one entry, so I will be splitting them up. Additionally, for consistency's sake, I will also split up the M4A1 and M4 entries, and while I'm at it, also update the other articles over the next few days. I'll go around uploading images eventually as well when I have time, cheers! While I'm at it, I'll also try to add a bit more details and trivia to the weapons such as their available kits, configurations and magazine capacities (and probably the number of magazines too. -OngYingGao (talk) 09:29, 27 February 2018 (EST)

I think the M4 and M4A1 could stay under the same entry, though I think the M4 is only used by the militia; the US Army only uses the M4A1 if I'm not mistaken.--AgentGumby (talk) 13:26, 27 February 2018 (EST)

Nope, with the newest update, the M4 has been added to the US Army as well, to add to the already confusing time paradox that the Russians and US Army exist in. -OngYingGao (talk) 03:39, 28 February 2018 (EST)

Idle state images?

What happened to the idle images? Many of the weapons on this page now only have aiming down sight and reload images. They were here a few revisions ago. Not sure why are they being removed. --Wuzh (talk) 07:24, 2 March 2018 (EST)

Hi, which images do you happen to refer to? Previously, when I came to add the pictures there were only ADS and reload images too, apart from a few engine renders that are unrepresentative of the game. However, I do have a pile of pictures lying around for idles if you want them. In fact, I do not recall touching any idle images as well, because if I did i would be replacing existing images in the database, not uploading new ones. I quite like idle shots as well to be honest. --OngYingGao (talk) 07:51, 2 March 2018 (EST)

Example:

They were on the page on this version, but you removed them in this edit. You also removed an M4A1 idle image in this edit.

To be honest I have exaggerated the "many weapons" part, but I'm kinda curious (and confused) on why are these being removed.--Wuzh (talk) 08:26, 2 March 2018 (EST)

Ah, you were talking about the ones I've added earlier and removed; about those, it was because i'm afraid of making the page way too long since the earlier iteration of the page (before i came in with my image dumps) was a lot shorter and didn't have idles, but if you like them i will gladly add them all back. --OngYingGao (talk) 08:39, 2 March 2018 (EST)

I would say add them in. It feels kinda wrong (eh) to begin with the sight picture.--Wuzh (talk) 08:54, 2 March 2018 (EST)

Image Dump

I've done about as much as I could for 5 hours straight, now I need to go to bed. If anyone wants to continue fleshing out the page and uploading images, I've prepared an image dump:

Idle images: https://imgur.com/a/6rMHT I didn't include pistols, because the angle at which pistols are held makes them almost no different from aiming shots

Things to do:

• IED: https://imgur.com/a/kceW1
• M18 Smoke: https://imgur.com/a/S6Y86
• M67 Frag: https://imgur.com/a/I2mBt
• RDG-2 Smoke: https://imgur.com/a/DEaGI
• RDG-5 Frag: https://imgur.com/a/CUPFZ
• F1 Frag: (Needs retaking)
• TM-62M: https://imgur.com/a/DY046
• M72A7: https://imgur.com/a/Y3UKD
• RPG-7V2: https://imgur.com/a/HOIJs
• RPG-26: https://imgur.com/a/OswOH
• GP-25: (Not done at all)
• M203: (Not done at all)

Naturally, these are just for those lazy to take their own pics, or who want to keep the consistency, but if you have better pics please do add them, night and peace out. --OngYingGao (talk) 10:20, 2 March 2018 (EST)

Update: I've done all I can, but stuff like the emplacements I'll probably leave it to you guys - and the ZU-23-2 AA cannon isn't added --OngYingGao (talk) 05:12, 3 March 2018 (EST)

US heavy anti-tank?

So I notice that the US is mentioned as having having heavy and light anti-tank classes, but only the light anti-tank weapon is mentioned. Does the US actually have a heavy anti-tank class? What does it have? Apologies if you simply haven't added it yet.--Mandolin (talk) 20:37, 7 March 2018 (EST)
