Toyguy Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I was in that area and that was one of the most annoying things - the stuck vehicles were, in many cases, not touching the walls or barriers visually, but were stuck fast nonetheless. No amount of maneuvering would free them, and we spent much time trying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedWardancer Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 For some reason, I can't successfully download zipped files in advance of the mission in order to conduct planning. Therefore, I usually can't be a CO unless I want to "take over on the spot" which in SB is usually a bad idea I'm on Blue side! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWardancer Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I was able to download the file with some technical help (i.e. someone who knows how to use a pc). I'll command Blue. Someone has to do it. :icon_frown: Going up against the formidable and menacing Brun is almost suicide as his career record is something like 22 wins, 1 loss and 4 ties :c: (And that one loss is debatable ).

I did not keep track Of win's losses for the first 25 Tgif's I co'ed. In My last 21 Co's. Wins 13 losses 5 Draws 3 I'd say 75% of the 13 win's where the result of the Initiative, and actions of My teammates. 100% of the losses where the result of Me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyguy Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just a heads-up in case anyone wants to take over. I will not be able to make TGIF tonight so I won't be able to CO Red after all. Sorry for the late notice. Just found out this morning I have to travel for work tomorrow at 5 AM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedWardancer Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Glad that one is over. Blue got their heads handed to them this time. I was focused almost entirely on the west with my infantry platoon. But from what I heard over the comm, it wasn't even close :c: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well if you look at the AAR you'll probably get a more informed, balanced view. There are options to replay it with just spotted enemy or actual (spotted and unspotted) enemy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDF Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Glad that one is over. Blue got their heads handed to them this time. I was focused almost entirely on the west with my infantry platoon. But from what I heard over the comm, it wasn't even close :c:Seems like the initial thrust up the middle got savaged and dissipated much of our tank strength. And kudos to Volcano for taking out two Challengers with a single ATGM team. I was in the second Challenger and saw the missile team fire, but the missile flew right into the ground (I forgot there is a new network latency problem that seems to cause this to appear all the time). I made the mistake of popping into F8 view and got momentarily disoriented. Should have realized that the missile actually was in flight, and just hosed the missile team down with coax. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colebrook Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I want to discuss the addition of a new rule:-Not ram infantry with tanksIts completely unrealistic and ridiculously effective trick,mucho more effective than kill them with coax or even HE(if using small caliber) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 What's unrealistic about it? A tank is also armed with two tracks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brun Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The close combat nature of some SB scenes does cause this type of encounter between tanks, and troops. If it is heavily wooded and if troops pop up very close by then anything goes. If using the shock value of Your vehicle to charge them or the MG, whatever works.Troops in SB don't surrender, so they must be dispatched. What if Your vehicle is out of ammo, or damaged main gun, or MG? Sometimes the best way to deal with an ambush is to charge it full speed. Tanks used their tracks in WW2 to grind troops that where left to hold at any cost, without proper anti-tank capabilities. It is bad for morale to get run over by a vehicle. Try not to put Your troops that must fight to the death with no surrender in that position. The scene designer could make running over troops a NO NO as part of the ROE for a specific scene. I think a total tgif ban would be a bit drastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
