By that argument, we might as well throw in US OCP with M16's and 74's into our unit loadout, because it's just a game, right? Not really, mate. "We play ArmA using British military tactics and equipment." I don't see American, Canadian, German, French of Italian in that statement. Fair enough, it's "Too a degree." but that mostly means we're not getting sweaty and going full pretend.
Claiming it's useless is wrong also, I remember it being used pretty well during multiple operations. An LCU isn't a first wave amphibious assault craft, not in RM doctrine at least. The infantry lands first on the beach and then the armour and vehicles are brought to the landing zone after it's been cleared. The one or two occasions we have used it as a first wave assault, went fairly well. One occasion, I remember people losing uniforms, but that was due to a scripting issue.
