if they pulled as much weight then they would have been considered a major nation, they contributed not nearly as much as the US, USSR, or UK
The US made it so no matter how much weight Canada pulled they couldn’t be called a major. The forced it to be illegal to call any of the dommion a a major.
On top of that, the US would cry until every glory Canada could have gotten was theirs.

still didnt pull nearly as much weight as the US, USSR, or UK
Canada has like a quarter of the people of those nations, it couldn’t put as much in. 10% of the population took part.
The US made it so they couldn’t be called a major. As they hated the idea that Canada could be strong and independent.
The US uses those deals to block Canada from buying weapons. Canada pulled it, weight, the US made so that wouldn’t be known by stealing their glory.

what deals? and what do you mean, Canada is a pretty big US arms customer
This one:
Also big customer? wha-? no, it is not. We don’t use majority of US stuff. More is domestic, Belgium and elsewhere.
The only thing that is primarily American right now is aircraft.

I have yet to see the addition of vehicles or gameplay features start anything other than an argument.
isnt the infantry rifle basically just an m16a3
No, it is not. Its development paralleled the M16A2 but it isn’t a M16A3.
The C7/C8 is domestic (that is news to me). There was trading of info during development but it’s two different guns with the same answer.
Machine gun barrel heating is a nice addition:

thats been around for a while now, time flys
Shows you how often I use 50 cals!!
its a thing for every ground automatic weapon, very evident on the m163
or that either - nor on various other light AA that I do use - will keep an eye out
The C7 is a licensed colt rifle. Canada was present during the Marines testing for development of upgrades to M16A1 hence the large similarities. But for all tense and purposes the C7 is an Canadian built M16A2.
Yes and no.
If it was a Canadian-built M16A2 it would be licensed built but it isn’t listed as. It’s more like Canada rebuilt the M16A2 from scratch, ironically this is listed to make it closer to a prototype variant than the production one. From what I’ve read on it.
So well you can argue the C7 is an M16A2 it still doesn’t make it bought from the US in any way.

uhhh- wrong screenshot?
If it says it is a licensed-built M16A2, I’ll admit I’m wrong(and what I read was wrong) but I don’t see that there. It’s just list everyone who bought the C7s and C8s.
Oh, I see it. I’m, in the wrong. ya, it licsend built. Don’t know why it isn’t listed as such elsewhere.

Yeah still Canadian rifle in a terms but it’s a license built. Goes along the same terms as the ACV that is just a license built piranha.
