Royal Marines enhanced

[winter snow]

Hello, fellow bri'ish enjoyers, today we'll discuss new content for the RMC based on what i was told after the latest playtest and what i've seen.
Old content:

1. F9030.
   If it will stay in the game, it will get slow auto firemode, so you wont need click every shot), get more rounds in a mag and slightly lower accuracy, so its not a lasergun. Damage will remain the same - base is M4RA but higher falloff than M41A.

Guns' names could also be changed, F9030 is a reaaaly long one, could be smth like L90 or F90 idk.

2. SMG's
   No P90's nor any other weapon. I've seen some questions abt them for RMC ingame - this platoon already has solid armory, they dont need P90 IMO as CMB which has M16's. The only SMG that i want to see is F9030 PDW in hands of aircrews.

3. Ballistic shield
   I didnt really see much complaints straight up for the shield. Right now it has a lot of HP and cannot be repaired. The only weapon you can actually use is a pistol aswell (same as M1984). Can be countered with queen screech and grenades aswell (not sure about acid shots tho, i need to check that )

4. The pink flares are for lighting only rn. May be changed for the CAS cuz why not.

5. Backpack frame will (probably wont ) be done properly but no one probably have noticed.

New content

1. L23
   It will be added but I am not sure at the moment in which way: It could entirely replace the AUG (aka F9030) or just took its place as the main rifle (so F9030 remains as limited weapon, maybe just specs weapons or smth or only ERT).
   The stats will be comparable to the M41A with ~40-round mags and UGL.

2. Proper specialists weapon:
   Main contendants are automatic GL and proper marksman rifle from cm13-pve:
   AGL would really make a lot of sense if we keep F9030 as the main rifle - they lack GL's so specialised one would fill the gap. Otherwise its just a cool addition which may make RMC too opie.

Marksman rifle - proper marksman rifle with higher damage, slower RoF and higher accuracy when compared to existing F9030A1M variant. Look at the UPP DMR, it will be somewhat similar. IFF is debatable, probably should be introduced as counter for the M60.

Ballistic shield user will probably get Vp78

3. Port of the antitank launchers and mortar for the RMC

4. RMC detachments
   This could actually be a good balance feature to add DMR and AGL squads as detachments and not main squad. Thus, already existing spec weapons such as ballistic shield, breacher gun and F9030 marksman rifle wont interfere with them most of the time and DMR and AGL will only be introduced when needed.

5. RMC Third parties

• RMC ERT - equipped with the ballistic shield and F9030 rifles. They respond to distress signals
• RMC QRF - elite rapid reaction forces equipped similarly to the ERT but with addition of the Support Synthetic and some specialist weapon (either AGL or DMR, i am not sure at the moment). Maybe with smartguns aswell. Probably not needed but the idea is that ERT is lightly armoured and QRF is basically spawn RMC platoon button
• RMC Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron patrol/raid (think of it as RMC's FORECON. May be lost as the LACN patrol is) - for some spec ops larp. May be actually 2-3 different squads with different objectives: first one is a recon squad with objective to get valuable intel (but for me it seems hard to be fun, probably wont be added), second one is a raid group with objective to disrupt GOVFOR/OPFOR/Insurency organisation, and third one is a lost patrol similar to LACN's.
• RMC extraction team - Similar to ERT. Their only goal is to extract VIP - liaison, admin or TWE Military Intelligence spy.
• RMC Recruiter/s - you represent RMC and advertise recruiting into it. Simple as that.

6. TWE/RMC Antags

• TWE Military Intelligence spy - actually a lot of potential and i dont know what to start from - kill objectives, secure intel objectives, disrupting colony's or enemy's organisation and so on. When shit get hot, can call extraction team. Really low chance to spawn as one so we wont get RMC extration team on every second round.

F9030 series has been reworked.

Now they are called L90:
F9030A1 -> L90 - automatic pulse rifle. RoF same as M41A, 40-round mags (30 in CM13), accuracy is slightly worse than before and scatter is bigger. Gets burst if someone wonders..
F9030A1/B 'Breacher' -> L90/B 'Breacher'. Similar to L90 BUT gets almost nonexistent recoil unwielded and relatively high accuracy - the main idea is to combien it with FBS-B shield.
F9030A1M -> L90M. Stays the same. In CM13 it is just F9030A1 with AP and HEAP mags, i feel like i've done it more interesting
F9030A2 -> L90A2. Stays as RMC's SMG/PDW. In CM13 it is just a reskin of F9030A1 for command so why not use it in other way.

[winter snow]

Added L23 and L23B to the RMC
L23 - can be found in weapon racks as an alternative to L90 rifle. Has 30-round mags, slightly higher accuracy, slower RoF, UBL and higher damage with no falloff - 50 vs 40 on L90 vs 44 on M41
L23B - Specialist weapon, can be found inside RMC Sealed Pointman Kit which randomly gives either L90/B or L23B. Why? Because gambling is fun i couldnt figure out how to limit it

[winter snow]

L164A3 GL and L64A3 ported as well, mostly

[mild epoch]

We could actually leave the RMC with only the L23s and reuse the L90s for the TWE less elite ground forces

[winter snow]

In cm13 L90 is ERT weapon and is slightly buffed when compared to M41A

Rn it is nerfed, so why not

Also, there are L42's that TWE use

[mild epoch]

Which one is the L42?

[winter snow]

Hmm one moment

[dry flower]

Will this be the new dmr if the l90 gets replaced?

[winter snow]

I hope you can see this well

[winter snow]

Probably yes but the DMR will be nerfed.

[dry flower]

I used dmrs in the playtest and I definitely think they are too powerful

[winter snow]

The UPP ones are not worse tbh

Scoped weapons in general are opie

[dry flower]

The upp one was really good, I killed like 5 clf with it before the garbage ied killed us

[winter snow]

The new DMR as well as MGL were planned as some ultimate weapons but if L90 goes at least DMR will be in the normal game

MGL is intended to have low power 20mm nades with fast RoF but i am not sure about it

[dry flower]

I hope the l90 dmr gets used i love the sprite

[winter snow]

At least ERT will get them

Also there is planned IASF, i would love to see l90 there as well

[dry flower]

reminds me of this

[winter snow]

Actually this makes a lot of sense. The original F designation suggested the rifle is from Australia which could be a part of IASF

[mild epoch]

IASF is planned to be more indian/indonesian

[winter snow]

Hmm

I mean, indonesia is close

[mild epoch]

True

If you have some ideas for the IASF looks dont be afraid to share them

[winter snow]

Indians actually have license for F90 irl

[winter snow]

better quality

[mild epoch]

Dont like it very much tbh

[mild epoch]

Looks like that one colony rifle

[winter snow]

yeah it is the colony rifle

It pretty much sucks in performance

Basically worse M4RA in every term

I like the militia vibe it gives but i cant see anyone else handling it...

[winter snow]

Okay, L90 now will get their own mags (yipee)

DMR will replace the L90M, the L90 will go to the ERT and other TWE squads, except L90A2 PDW which will be RMC's SMG

I think i will nerf WeYa PMC NSG45 because why not, it is essentially the same weapon as RMC's L23

[mild epoch]

Only problem i got with them is color difference

[winter snow]

between new and old guns?

[granite sigil]

Those are extended mags and not HEAP right?

[winter snow]

Extended. There are HEAP mags but they are not used

[granite sigil]

Alrighty, amazing.

[winter snow]

Also, uuh..

[granite sigil]

Just had to make sure

[winter snow]

Apparently RMC has Boiler gas grenade

and it is parity

[mild epoch]

Yeah the color difference between these looks weird

[winter snow]

And grenadier has grenades with boiler gas

[granite sigil]

I'm gonna say no until we get working gas masks done.

[winter snow]

Mhm, sure

[granite sigil]

Once we get that, go wild.

[winter snow]

Yeah i already coded it but wont use

Maybe will be useful for events

[winter snow]

Oh my god, i figured out how to make proper texture maps

I dont need to make 8 similar packets textures 😭

it looks so peak

[winter snow]

Okay, so... GL will probably in live game, at least as a test. Has:

• HE nades
• HESH nades (really powerful HE)
  All of which can be thrown by hand, next:
• Fragmentation
• Holografic
• Incend

And unused gas grenades

RMC will also get L165A1 aka VP78, it has its own pretty reqs crates and ammo boxes already

DMR has buffed 8.8x51mm ammo but with no AP, i tried to balance it smh, DMR's are really powerful

[winter snow]

Also, GL is 20mm, almost every nade is nerfed (except incend but who cares). HESH is the only more powerful nade than existing ones.

Sadly, rn there's no texture for RMC's smoke nades so they will use generic USCMC nades

[winter snow]

The idea with GL is that L23 already has UGL for basic 30mm nades - and RMC lacks any other "special" nades for GL's. The Automatic GL will fill the gap. MAYBE will add burst for lulz.

Also lots of misc corrections f.e. new names for MD's, optic etc

[granite sigil]

What do the holografic grenades do?

Wait are those electroshock nades?

[winter snow]

oh no

They let friendlies deal more damage

They work like Hornet grenades or holografic rounds for HAR M41A

[granite sigil]

Oh.

Thats cinema.

[granite sigil]

I'm doing my part!

[winter snow]

Also absolute cinema, RMC's mortar belt is intended to be able to carry the MGL

actually.. only mortar left to be ported

Crazy

[winter snow]

RMC ERT

Low on ammo and meds but 2 specs and sg

[winter snow]

yaml linter defeated 🔥

[winter snow]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hidp packets are empty
