  1. Not that many of you can get there but if you're ever in Seoul. Go to the national war museum. They have many soviet tanks and TDs there outside as well as a wide variety of aircraft. Inside is an amazing history display on three stories from 400AD to the Korean War. Pretty darn amazing
  2. That joining the Air Force and ensuring that they are flying was the best career decision ever.
  3. Whoops, I guess a wheeled gun platform wont replace a tank.....didn't we learn that in WW2 or somefink?
  4. Ah another game designer. I'm glad you like the Pacific...I don't and apparently BF doesn't feel like "reskinning" yet another game. Glad to see your so well informed on the game design effort and marketing. So what was your software companies name again?
  5. Go read Harry Turtledove's world at war series. Alien tech at about 2000 against WW2 stuff
  6. If you gave the helo's an "area" attack, in essence you are giving them a search and destroy mission. You designated the area and then its hands off. If the area you gave is void of enemies (or enemies the air assets can see) the air assets will end the mission. You should be able to adjust the mission BEFORE the air assets arrive, but not after they show up. They are NOT artillery with a long enough duration to adjust. Point attacks will normally drop a bomb, Line attacks with use guns or rockets for helos....its not like you expect them to hit the same spot OVER AND OVER again....that the artillery's game.
  7. Exosonic, The troops your are describing are often found in later modules for CMBS. I can't tell you for certain they will be in there, but if you look at Battlefront's progression of adding additional troops in CMBN and even further back you'll see that is often the case.
  8. Stop being the voice of reason Agiel we're just here to give Big Green what they want. They do all the work....just ask them.
  9. The other point is the platforms you describe as CAS actually haveany more roles so you can't just seperate by aircraft type. Which is another reason the AF picked the single role A-10
  10. And then you turn all fixed wing assets into the Luftwaffe of WW2 and look how good hat turned out. I saw your derision about air superiority but frankly you (and many other ground troops) automatically assume your NOT going to get attacked by large number of aviation assets. If I remember correctly the last time the Army fought when it did not have air superiority was 1943. Go back and look at the overl effectiveness of CAS and you will see that long range interdiction of logistics has played a much more vital role. Really the arty and helps you control are better at danger close attacks than anything the AF could bring. Our job is to make sure that you DONT get Attacked and attrit them so you don't have to fight an equal force. There is a reason the AF was pulled from the army you really want an Arty specialist trying to lay out doctrine for an Air Force
  11. They already do...its called helocopters. Fast movers and artillery are a very bad mix and cannot be called in close quarters to each other. You can't separate a fastmover CAS from interdiction because of the area needed for proper tactics, which is why the kill boxes are so damn big. The AF learned in WW2 that interdiction of logistics is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than the limited support given to the front line...where the Luftwaffle did not turning themselves into limited flying artillery tied to ground formations. If I can reduce a fighting force by 15% or more and hamper logistic movement in addition I have given the Army a larger envelope to use their operations in. AF core missions are: 1. Air Superiority---this is job one and why GW1 needed a month to allow full superiority against set IADS. 2. Deep Strike 3. Logistics support 4. Interdiction 5. AWACS/ABCCC/Recon 6. CAS
  12. The marines are limited in scope and projection and still rely on the Navy for air superiority. That is the difference. CAS is not a true core AF mission....interdiction is preferred as more effective and less chance of friendly Fire.
  13. And so the adage: You want to scare a Russian.......show him a German with a gun
  14. Great video but obviously this game is buggy...KTs have "invulnerablearmor"....the internet says so.
