@Rusty Rat The viability of the electric tanks is pretty tangential to the post topic but in a round about way you're making my point for me. If the US is supplying the no-pats with what would be the latest advancements in vehicles such as practical, battle ready electric M1's surely they'd be getting the AMP rounds as well. Not rounds that would have been out of production for over a decade by 2042.
@TheCompton73 I was referring to your statement saying the US was supplying them with electric tanks.
As in my original reply, I agree they could be supplying them. They could also be supplying older stock and keeping the latest for their own troops. The military hate to dispose of anything that might be useful and you would be amazed how big the stockpiles can be. If they have not had a major conflict requiring them, there is a good chance they would still have rounds from a decade before in storage. I remember being given 7.62 mm rounds on the range because they were getting towards 30 years old and they wanted to use them up (Had rations the same sort of age as well).
If they hadn't come up with the no pat idea to explain why the same specialists were on both sides and kept with two clearly defined sides, then latest developments could be incorporated into the game. As the Russians would be supplying one side and the US the other, simple balance means that something equivalent has to be available for both teams.Unless the US were supplying the Russian forces as well (or the Russians have copied them), then the AMP rounds can't be in the game.
@Rusty Rat Once again you're reply is 99% off topic and based on hypothetical theories you have about whats going on in the fictional world of 2042. What I'm arguing/asking for is for this game to reflect the reality that AMP rounds will be standard issue.
As for your final point about why they shouldn't be included, are you forgetting that asymmetric capabilities already exist in the jets and transports? And with a quick search I found articles talking about Russia having advanced rounds in development as well with rounds that have air burst capabilities and guided munitions with extremely long range.
BF4 did a fantastic job of incorporating current and near future tech in fun and interesting ways for upgrading the vehicles but 2042 really fails in that department.
