Why is it SRU?
#11
Perhaps the reason for calling it such a generic name is to allow for your own expansion on it?
EG: I've never heard of the 'Corleones' per se, but their appearance is quite obviously 'Organised Crime Family/Mafia'.

Following this, it reduces pressure on modellers/devs. Yes; you can ask for improvements you've thought of, but because the SRU are fictional, you can't base suggestions off of the real thing: 'irl the SWAT have rocket launchers lol XD'

TL : DR SRU name is generic - allows for your own expansion. Lowers expectations on what they actually are.

The Corleones are from the Godfather or something like that I think.

With the /job function I agree with Safira, it's open for expansion.

When it was S.S, players tended to assume
the job was meant to protect the president.


Sru sounds more SWAT like

Yea, I remember those days.  It was S.S but correct me if I'm wrong they still went on raids like S.W.A.T. would. I don't see a problem with SRU either just another name for S.W.A.T.

Well, if we really were going for something SWAT-like, surely SWAT wouldn't be a bad choice hmmmm...

Now all that's needed personally is a CSS Model for roleplay points other than gasmask, so I can successfully look swat-like.

yes plis
