Another Youtuber i watch - Dslyk.. um Dysleksi.. uhh whatever. He is Arma2/3 player, he also runs ShackTac community, which is pretty cool. Those videos are different, his longer ones. Also shows level of AI in Arma. Dsclxsee, or how it is writen in Muricanlang, also have 1+ hour long vids, that you can find on his channel.

GPC seems to me don't take into account HMGs, RPGs/small sized missile launchers like mini-Spike, automatic grenade launchers, light mortars (~82mm) etc. AFAIK, they become main infantry weapon, when fighting with competent forces. Don't forget level of mechanisation of modern forces.
