The biggest advantage of the L85 was the SUSAT sight, and now the ACOG or ELCAN sights that really improve the accuracy. From just being able to hit the target at 300m, now you can choose where you want to hit them, if you have the time. |
At least the L98A1 will be rare in TW2000 as it was planned to convert them to L85A1s.
