I'm not sure what the solution to By78 and Qiusiyu back and forths are.

Objectively it is correct to state that PLA infantry competence is poor and they lack discipline, have poor taste and do not deserve excuses to make for them. In that regard Qiusiyu is incorrect and By78 is correct.

But on the other hand explicitly posting their incompetence consistently from By78 in a manner designed to generate a reaction is clearly deliberately meant to target Qiusiyu to irritate him, even if it is not factually incorrect.

At a certain point I am in favour of just outright banning both of you permanently if you keep this up.


By78, learn to stop emotionally satisfying yourself and accept and ignore other people's stupidity.

Qiusiyu, stop making excuses for incompetence.

Consider this a formal warning. Do not reply to this post.

i think a lot of this comes from guys getting brainwashed by some of those "tacticool" videos they see and misled into thinking that what infantry should look like. the reality i think may be the opposite. some of the traditional PLA infantry training is actually quite useful compared to what their western counterparts get. For example, PLA infantry training still emphasizes trench/shelter digging. this is a bit of a lost art in many western armies, but it is quite important in the contemporary environment. demolition is taught at a very basic level for the PLA, but in many NATO countries it is considered specialty training.

the issue mentioned here is mostly with how the equipment is worn. I already expressed my opinion on this which is that it is inevitable with new equipment and it will get fixed over time. I know this because I have gone through this myself as a soldier, you get a new piece of equipment, you doing use/wear it right and it SUCKS for you. and that suck is your motivation to play around with it until you figure out what works best, then you pass it on to someone else. all that requires is time, doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out. my guess is people making a big deal out of how you wear equipment have not much army experience to recognize this.

ultimately fanboys of every country is going to claim that they have the best infantry as a part of their pp measuring contest, i mean someone a few posts ago says that PLA infantry needs to get up to singaporean standard lol. you are never really going to prove anything without really going into the weeds.

In general people need to exercise more patience and stop taking personally to things that are out of their control.

But there is a difference between being disappointed in something and wanting it to be done better, and just shitting on it for the sake of it

> i mean someone a few posts ago says that PLA infantry needs to get up to singaporean standard lol.

As someone who's currently serving in the Singapore army, this is debatable. Technical competency maybe but when it comes to morale, discipline and physical fitness its the latter in general(with exception of some units e.g red berets).

PAP were issued allegedly type 24 boots, should be the same issued in Ream base last time.

I heard that the main issue with the type 21 boots were the zipper was it? Because the zipper kept pulling off? I wonder why the engineers or designers even put that in the first place. Still, if this has no zipper, Ig it's fine.
