Line 26:
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Sam Nichols is actually a subversion. While he's pretty skilled in piloting various transport and attack choppers, he himself admits (and even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]]) his inexperience in flying the A-10 Thunderbolt and other fixed-wing aircraft.
* [[AKA-47]]: Averted. All firearms and vehicles in the unmodified games use their real-world names.
** The only exception to this would be the Czechoslovak national AK-47 variantrifle, the [[wikipedia:Vz. 58|SA 58]] (a.k.a. Vzor 58). For some reason or other, it's referred to as "AK-47 CZ" in-game, althougheven though the rifle has nothing in-common design wise with the AK and it still shows up as "SA-58" on the weapon selection and mission planning screens.
** Also played straight with most of the civilian vehicles (Trabants, Mini Coopers, Zetor tractors, Škoda passenger cars), particularly [[Brand X|the brand logos above their grills]].
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: The invading Soviet army most of the time, with the defenders [[Watching Troy Burn]]. Inverted later, when the NATO and [[La Résistance]] forces finally start recapturing conquered territory.
