Being able to see the UAV with the small possibility of shooting it down is nice. Even if you don't shoot it down you know you are being scanned and that in itself tells you that enemy are probably in the area or artillery is coming your way. So eyes to the sky for a warning.

As for the P90 it doesnt' seem to be much of a difference over the stock Anti-Tank kit weapons. You will still have a pea shooter. Will it's damage be more than a pistol since it uses tne 5.56 NATO Round? After all that's the purpose of it according to:  http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg13-e.htm
I see it says Med/Low Damage and Accuracy on that one pic that shows it with the kit. I'm not getting my hopes up.

Also the British L96A1 looks interesting. http://www.snipercentral.com/l96a1.htm
it's another M24 variant in a way. Bolt Action and accurate. I guess it gives the MEC/PLA/Insurgents etc. an option to have a M24 like rifle in their hands instead of the M95. Don't know what the draw is going to be for the L96A1 as it uses the 7.62mm rifle round. It's probably not going to do anymore damage and it's not going to be any more accurate than the M24. For those already used to the M95 it's a wasted unlock probably. I think a semi-auto Sniper rifle would have been a better unlock just to give the USMC another option over the M24 or M95. As it is only Non-US Armies get a semi-auto and there are times honestly that I would rather have one over the M24 or M95.

I guess we'll see how everything plays together when it comes out.

All the stock smgs are rated as low/v.low for accuracy/damage. However, they are still fairly grim to encounter short range because their rate of fire is just nuts.

The p90 otoh, is rated as medium/low.

Thats actually a decent improvement. If its rate of fire is still on par with the stock, it might be pretty freaking nasty.

If its recoil is still low, it might actually be only slightly less lethal than the dao, at much longer range.

P90 also has a laser-dot scope.

I think it's almost impossible to satisfy everyone )) As for me, I think US snipers are overpowered with M24, 'cuz the archenemy of the sniper is another sniper, and MECs/Chinese often can't get US guy, just because their rifles (including M95) sucks and very inaccurate. I 'm playing for US only, using M24 for headshots and for huntin on enemy's snipers, and when server force me to play for MEC/Chinese.... oh.. that's upsets me much.
