Post; If you were to make a fictional war movie, what weapons would you pick for each side?


Imagine a movie or computer game with two sides (Good Guys and Bad Guys) locked in a deadly war. It should be set in a present day-esque world, so real-world advanced weapons can be used. Now the equipment the Bad Guys use should reflect their badness, while that of the Good Guys should reflect their goodness. In my opinion, bad guy stuff should look menacing and pointy, while good guy stuff looks has more rounded shapes (kinda like in Star Wars).

Here's some equipment types:

Assault Rifle
Good Guys: XM-8
Bad Guys: SCAR

Main Battle Tank
Good Guys:Leclerc
Bad Guys:Merkava Mk4

Attack Helicopter
Good Guys:RAH-66 Commanche
Bad Guys:Ka-50

Bombers: The Good Guys don't get a strategic bomber, while the bad guys don't get a supersonic ones.
Good Guys:
Bad Guys:
