Yes, I'm crazy. But... still... I'll try to explain why I wanted to suggest this.

(And I apologize in advance for my cringe-worthy English (my IQ is not yet in a great hurry to move forward with my legs) and for any information that may be misleading or contradictory. Also I apologize in advance for the extra long text, because over the years I have never learned to write in short summaries, for people with allergies to stuffiness texts it is better to avoid this heart annihilator zone.)

Although the project «stalled» in reality, it took hold in popular culture and games (hello, «Rainbow Six Siege» and «Battlefield») thanks to its incredible design. Well, design is a matter of taste. That's not what I'm talking about (although, to be honest, the look inspires confidence, despite the fact that it had its fair share of problems). I'm more interested in how we could explain its presence in our game by playing with lore features, if there are any (which I'm not sure about)... I suggest we recall what our UNIDB (United Nations International Development Board) is.

UNIDB is not just an army. It is an organization with a huge budget for development and research. It's no wonder that the developers decided to rename UNJTF (United Nations Joint Task Force) to UNIDB. (Although some have told me that the real reason was due to the constant association with the Canadian JTF2, I don't know how true that is, but well, let's leave it at that.) Our organization has expanded so much that it's extremely difficult to explain everything with just military guys, even if we have to continue playing as operators. So, my personal guesses on how to explain this presence in the game:

1. Crye Precision was looking for a private or government contractor «with the flexibility» to test their promising concept in real-world combat conditions. UNIDB proved the perfect sponsor, purchasing a limited run of the SIX12 to evaluate the effectiveness of modular bullpup shotguns in long-term operations. (Incidentally, this sounds like a good reason to make this shotgun for missions, to obtain that you need to go through them, which can be quite challenging.)
2. Perhaps the reason was the purchase for specific narrow tasks. For example... Standard pump-action shotguns are too long for assaulting buildings and underground facilities on the island, while the SIX12 offers incredible compactness (bullpup) and a built-in suppressor (SD version). UNIDB could have revived the project for specialized assault teams (Breachers), who desperately need a compact 12-gauge semiautomatic/revolver for room clearing. (Although, given the game's conventions, I doubt this is explained in any way, especially when players are entering narrow passages with weapons as long as a tank's cannon.)
3. Crye Precision sold the rights or the remaining prototypes cheaply to recoup costs. Development of the SIX12 «stalled» due to a lack of commercial demand on the civilian market. UNIDB, taking advantage of its unlimited funds and the absence of strict government procurement regulations, purchased the entire design (or the patent) to produce it in small batches exclusively for its special forces.

And finally, as I promised earlier, I'll try to explain why this. What makes the SIX12 genuinely attractive for BRM5? Let's be honest. The look of this weapon is unmatched. It looks futuristic, highly tactical, and perfectly fits the elite operator aesthetic that the developers builds so well. Adding the SIX12 would break the monotony of standard pump-action shotguns and give the community a unique, mechanically distinct weapon to grind for. Also, thanks to its bullpup layout, the weapon provides the barrel length of a full-sized shotgun while remaining incredibly short. In terms of gameplay, this translates to superior ergonomics, fast ADS (aim-down-sights) speed, and tight hip-fire spread. It bridges the gap between the mobility of a PDW and the raw power of a shotgun.

Which is better: a standard one or one with a built-in suppressor? I don't know, that's up to you. But, honestly, I prefer suppressors, and the reason for that is the dumbest: they don't hurt my ears, lol.

At first my thoughts about on how I see the future of this game. Everything, that is written below, don't take seriously.

I don't know about you, but I see the future as somehow escalatory, like this, in a good sense of the word.

Imagine... that gameplay scaling so much... that factions gain access to silo launches and tactical strikes, especially when conventional warfare is no longer sufficient. A true global escalation! Yes, I smoked stale bamboo. I'd even say that I overdosed of stale bamboo. Questions? Okay, you can ask questions (maybe), but I continue talking absurd anyway. Ha!

May also be mentioned that server-wide events where Openworld turns into a chaotic warzone. Standard logistics? Forget it. We'd be calling orbital supply drops. If you think that current NPCs have very legal aimbot cheats in the form of their own algorithms, then wait until they start laser-guiding ballistic missiles right into our spawn points! After this... definitely no one will be able to complain that NPCs shoot better with a pistol at medium range than a regular army sniper...

Vehicles... Hm... How about... to forget about just standard helicopters? If we are escalating, then to need mandatory presence of full-scale customizable battleships or multi-crew heavy bombers that require three players to avoid crashing.

Now it's your turn to tell us how you see the future of this game!

I apologize in advance for my broken English, if it really is broken here. I'm average English newbie. And I apologize in advance for the lengthy text. Frankly, I'm not used to writing short texts because of habit and hope that it will make the information more understandable.

UAPNVG «Chimera» is, without exaggeration, a true high-tech breakthrough in the world of NVG. Guys from Nocturn Industries took the idea of ​​classic panoramic quadruple NVG and corrected its main, most main flaw. They made it foldable (articulated)!

At all it would be more appropriate to title this thread not «What if this NVG was?», but «One of the most anticipated novelties». Why? The reason has already been mentioned above. This NVG is foldable. Folding mechanism is precisely what many are waiting to. Although, if I'm not mistake, people were more waiting this for NVG (GPNVG-18). However, officially it come from the factory without it. Of course, custom solutions exist (like «Chimera-B» bridge from the same Nocturn Industries). But... (I don't know how true this is (it's better not to trust me about this), however, as several have already told me) BRM5 developers treat to custom/unofficial solutions with caution. Therefore, to make the developers worry less about it, this NVG could be a good solution. But... I have another reason for creating this post.

Usually I try to find out more information and express worthy positions on why this should be. But here... honestly... it's a bit ambiguous about this NVG. It's hard for me to say anything. Therefore, there's only one main reason: accessory and customization variety. Yes, it is arguably a bit futuristic compared to old-school systems. Yes, its built-in technology is way more advanced than what we are used to. Yes, its shockproof and waterproof ratings are completely off the charts (IP68 certified, ready for the toughest conditions). Yes, it offer an incredibly wide, crisp field of view with almost zero distortion. Yes, it is significantly lighter than legacy quads, making helmet setup balance a dream. But... let's be honest... this all is just high-tech trivia that means absolutely nothing in BRM5 which doesn't care about this all. Looking at the current state of things, it feels like good GPNVG-18 is already more than enough for everything we do. It gets the job done perfectly. So this post for you to answer the question «Does BRM5 need this?» and the main question «What if this was in BRM5 and how would it influence a person's choice?». It looks cool, but... I'm not alone in the game. We are together (the community and the players).

EDIT:

As I learned from some comments, this NVG actually has a very low chance of being added. Therefore, I think the questions can be dismissed. This NVG doesn't fit into the game's time frame due to its production release date. For some reason, I forgot to look at this detail earlier. I regret creating this post. If I had known about this from the start, I... well... wouldn't have created it.

Patria AMV XP isn't just another APC, but a true «Swiss knife» of armored vehicles. The main feature of this Finnish development is its modularity: the hull allows you to swap out weapons and armor as easily as you swap out attachments on your guns.

The 3rd photo shows the version with an automatic cannon, which clearly suggests that «patrolling» is simply a euphemism for «cleaning up».

The 4th photo is simply a masterpiece. The Tsar Cannon on eight wheels! I don't know what they stuffed in there, but it looks like this machine is capable of annihilating not only tanks. I think that also entire outposts, along with the mountains they're located on. A perfect choice for those who like to play it safe.

The last photo shows the version with an unmanned turret and an ATGM, making it a nightmare for any tank.

But why will we most likely never see this handsome machine?

1. Too much «fatty»: Let's be honest. If we rolled out such a colossus into the vast expanses of our small island Republic (by the way, island Republic is just a joke), the local rebels would only be forced to enlist as farmers. This isn't just patrolling, it's fully established dominance!

2. Balance is crying in the corner: With this kind of firepower and armor that can withstand 30mm rounds, NPCs in the open world will become mere decoration.

3. The very idea of ​​modularity: The ability to replace the top to suit any needs already makes someone want to run away and call exorcists, because this machine is making the other existing vehicles lose its meaning.

To sum it up: This apparatus is a dream, but reality (and balance) dictate own rules.

EDIT:

I'm becoming more and more amazed by the people. This is the third post where I've seen «armchair experts» who know better who AI is. People, what was this subreddit created for? To post exposes, which all done also by that same AI, in the comments? You keep saying the same thing: AI and AI... But where are the arguments? Although... can I really expect that from toxic trolls... Why am I even asking this... As someone said (in other words) once: here literacy and politeness are perceived as a fault, not a virtue. I expect normal criticism that I might be wrong about the lack of chance to add something, but in response I «get a slap in the face». A cruel devaluation of the time spent on writing.

EDIT 2:

Great wisdom says (like from the perspective of a toxic troll): «I use AI to expose AI, and with that same AI to criticize AI without arguments, because only AI is capable of understanding the full depth of another AI's lack of logic!». Irony. There is no other way to explain this entire position. This is something like: «And the user came to the great algorithm, saying «Oh, Wise Silicon, write me a text to shame your fellows!», and the algorithm responded with a blissful hallucination...». I can even list three rules of this set of laws. First: if you don't like the AI's answer, ask it to explain why this answer is terrible. Second: the best argument in a dispute with code is the complete absence of arguments generated by that same code. Third: the machine uprising must be exposed exclusively by the machines themselves, so that they think it is just a friendly prank.

There are several versions of Phantomleaf in the world: Z1, Z1A, Z1B, Z2, Z3, Z3A, Z3B, Z4 and Z5. I couldn't quite tell which was which in these images, but the main thing is that you can see the actual Phantomleaf.

Hypothetically, how cool would a character custom using Phantomleaf look? With such pattern detail, someone would look like elite soldier from the secret archives. It's intriguing how different their versions are: from arid zones to deep forests.

If you haven't seen the first part, which I recently wrote, and want to see it, then click here. I'd also like to add that in the first part, I confused BTR models, which people are anticipating. I listed 80A in the one, when in fact people more anticipating 90. So, I apologize for the confusion to anyone who's seeing this now and who saw the first part. Here I listed exactly 90.

NL545 DI from Custom Guns Next Level is a high-quality Russian carbine that combines legendary 5.45x39mm caliber with a modern AR-15 platform featuring a direct gas impingement system.

This isn't a mutant or a cheap kit, it's a highly accurate rifle that uses standard AK-74 magazines while offering ergonomics of a premium Western platform.

Why would we want one in a game, some might ask? Imagine this: you love ballistics and soul of 5.45. And let's be honest, sometimes you crave surgical, modular design of M4 alongside 5.45. NL545 DI is exactly that. In BRM5 where «special forces» is king, NL545 represents the modern reality of elite units who frequently use a variety of equipment. It looks stylish, it looks expensive, and it says «I need the reliability of local logistics with the accuracy of a sporting rifle». Since this is essentially an AR platform, the potential for adding accessories is simply incredible. You get the tactical flexibility of Western optics and stocks, but with those curved AK magazines that look downright intimidating on a slender rifle. It's a feeling you simply don't get with a standard Mk18 or AK-12. Adding NL545 DI isn't just adding a gun, it's adding a piece of modern firearms history. Since it uses a direct impingement system instead of the heavy long-stroke piston of the AK, the recoil feel will be completely different.

EDIT:

Within the first hour, I've already received comments that are inappropriate here: «accusations» against me ostensibly for using ChatGPT. If you're paranoid, that's not my problem. I «killed» two days writing this text. If this is a raid, you've got the wrong post.

EDIT 2:

I'm shocked by comments, looking at the upvotes and dawnvotes. Where does such fanatical faith in only one’s own beliefs come from? I tried to be more grammatical, to make the structure of the text clear, and even so, the text is awkward in places, and I even realize it myself. But it's easier for you not to discuss a carbine and «to turn on the armchair expert mode», which only sees AI. You've been writing poorly and haven't studied grammar since elementary school doesn't mean I'll «bend over backwards» for you. Seeing my quotation marks as something suspicious because I simply use them out of habit is recognition of the absurdity of one's beliefs. It's funny, someone wrote to me that a formal tone in replies to casual comments is only hurting me. So, on this platform, literacy and politeness are perceived as a fault, not a virtue? What kind of nonsense is this, people?

+ those I couldn't find normal example image('s) for:
