Why are attachments limited?
Ubisoft, I understand your thought process on making attachments "realistic" and "practical," but half your choices make no sense. For example, the ACSS scope in the game is used by countless competition and real-life operators on their assault rifles. Why is it only limited to DMRs in this game? I get that it may not be "realistic" to the devs, but you have legit Tier 1 soldiers and advisors that I'm positive are telling you that these things are common in their realm of experience. Not only that, but why are the PEQ-15's limited to being on the side rail with optics like the Digital scope on a MK-17, but not with a T1 on an MP7. The MK-17 has waaaaaay more rail space, and it would not be intrusive.
Also, why can't we find the "weapon variants" and use the stocks, barrels, and rail styles individually on our base models?
Not only would it make for a more in-depth customization process, but it would also make hunting down these weapons that much more worthwhile. It would also make for some interesting combinations. So what if someone wants a 18" barrel, 7" rail, and a PDW stock? It's their weapon, let them go crazy with it! You're honestly doing a great job, aside from glitches and bugs, on the clothing customization, and I enjoy having to hunt down higher Tier weapons. It gives me an additional thing to do in the game. I just want finding these variants to be more rewarding and fun. It makes the loot pool more "acceptable."
In closing, I like the way your customization is going, I'd just like for you guys to enhance the gunsmith a bit more. It's a bit depressing to get a 416, then be stuck with a barrel that is a tad too long, that I can't put my Elcan on with a PEQ-15 on top (where it would fit,) and ambush enemies from a longer distance away.
You forget one simple thing sir. The Coders writing this game may or may not have any real Weapon Experience. I am sure their mileage varies. You are asking something that is most likely waaaay beyond their realm of things.... heck they cant even get the Chambering/Caliber right on most all the weapons.
