Gibsonm Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Thanks for leading. I think part of the traffic jam issue was due to the massive amounts of roads / tracks etc. there. I suspect the AI gets overwhelmed with choices (which of the 3 roads very close together and going the same way, should I choose). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 An enjoyable evening. Many thanks to Gladiiator for the mission and to Grenny for stepping up to C.O - once again. The LMV/RWS/Spike combo was err, interesting. It wasn't so bad setting up defensive/covering positions on the treeline to overwatch our final assault, but going tank hunting in the much more open southern valley was a different kettle of fish. The LMV is soft-skinned, so moving forward to contact has to be done extremely cautiously using the RWS TI and hoping you see the enemy before he sees you. Pure, dismounted advance doesn't work for two reasons. 1. The squad is so slow and 2. While walking they have no means of identifying trouble ahead. Setting up and breaking down takes so long it isn't practical to do it every hundred metres or so. IMHO, ATGM teams are of limited use in offensive operations and if they have to be used, they need an APC at least for protection. What's the view of the professionals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Well, the best option would be an ATGM amounted on your IFV/AFV(like the TOW on the Bradley), everything else if of very very very limited use in offence or mobile defence/delay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Just be thankful you didn't have AT3s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashdivay Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 since we have unlimited supply of atg from the lmv. i considered using spikes as recce drones, but that would have been very naughty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
