Was curious what people tend to use for their loadouts for their classes and vehicles. I know this can be very dependent on map.
I was also curious why I see so many people using the 8x scope vs the 12x scope. Is there a particular reason for this? I haven't noticed speed difference. Why is this a later unlock vs the 12x? Probably a noob question but was curious if anyone had a good explanation?
Currently I am just working on unlocks so I haven't settled into a specific loadout for my infantry, but here is what I use currently:
Recon: SV98 - 12x, bipod, laser sight G17 silenced TUG (will replace with MAV once unlocked) Radio Beacon Sprint (thinking about changing this)
I will make note of my others loadouts later.
For Vehicles
Assault Heli: Stealth IR Flares Heat Seekers Gunner Stealth (don't know if this stacks with pilot stealth) Zoom ---- (need unlock)
I hang my head in shame, I still haven't adjusted my loadouts. Well I guess I did once, a long time ago. Need to do that, my gaming time is so limited, I don't want to spend time fiddling around, would rather be shooting people. I don't enjoy the 'needing to know' aspect of the game, would rather have less options. But I understand I am probably odd in that respect of the game.
Specialization is something that we need to look at more when creating squads. With four people and "squad specializations" there is a great opportunity to be a much tougher group to deal with than four individual specs.
I generally run Support or Engi and set up for speed and stopping power.
Support PKP Pecheneg Holo or RDS sights. Foregrip Extended Mag for 200 rounds without a reload Claymores for urban maps/C4 for maps with Tanks Ammo pouch MP412 Rex (don't use much) Frag specialization (soon to be Squad Frag) or Squad Flak specialization
Engineer SCAR-H Holo/RDS Laser sight (+33% accuracy when shooting from the hip) foregrip SMAW/RPG Mines 93R sidearm (don't use it much) Squad Explosives Specialization
Assault AEK-971/M416 Iron sights on the AEK and RDS on the 416 (haven't unlocked RDS on the AEK) Paddles Med Kit Frag or Ammo specialization - can't remember.
Tanks Cannister shot (brutal against infantry and good against helos) Proximity scan zoom optics (IR optics on Tehran City and the map with tunnel)
M39 EMR Ranged Maps = 12x/bipod / Short Maps = 8x Foregrip [Looking at the suppressor as a possibility] TUG for infantry Laser Thing for open Vehicle Maps Beacon -no other option there- Cover for open maps, Sprint for others.. though Frag is also an option for short engy heavy maps.
Don't really know/see the advantages other than for the ammo.
As soon as I can get a few Laser Designations then I am going to go for the L96 as a possible replacement for purely 'old times sake' feelings.
Support PKP [Until the M240B is unlocked until the MG36 is unlocked] Minor Scope Extended Mag Foregrip Ammo Trait
Sidearm is the M93R or the 1911 Silenced haven't developed a true preference yet.
I have switched from the 12x back to the 8x.. I like the crosshairs better on the 8x, I might use the 12 with Oman but that is the only place where I need that much distance. [350m headshots FTW]

I always wondered why I get killed by alot more 8x's than 12x scopes. I also wondered why the 12x was always the first unlock for recon weapons.
Been using the FAMAS a bit lately with the red dot and foregrip. I find it's the best assault gun from 0-50 yards. It just throws the bullets out. That being said yesterday I went back to the AEK-971 with the foregrip and Russian HOLO sight. It's still a beast and far better past the 50 yard range. I prefer the medic pack to the toob.
For the AT I'm usually the M4A1. Love that gun. For some reason I like having the silencer on it and the foregrip...scopes vary. Any of the wide open mainly vehicle maps I'll take the Javs, anything that's mainly city with vehicles (Karkand/Sharqi) I'll do the RPG. If no one is soflaming I'll usually ditch the Javs after a couple of spawns.
The other 2 classes I'll usually use the UMP. Should put in some more time with the P90 as that seems like a bad assed little gun.
Vehicles my loadout varies a ton...usually APC's I use the thermal scope, motion sensor and rockets. I basically just drive the thing like a bat out of hell until I role it.
Tanks I usually use the lock on shells with motion sensors and smoke.
