I`ve been really good about making windy posts on the Game but I can`t resist on this one
IMO, the Major is spot on here, given the overall unit size and scale of Battles modeled in TacOps I don`t think C&C would be all that relevant. Nice maybe, but not necessary.
The speed and intensity which things happen on a modern battlefield reduces down to doing the other guy before he does you, and if there are just too many "other guys" in the second/third echelons time to leave/stop. ( if you can )
The real reason for posting is to share my favorite quote regarding C&C from the Autobiography of a Sq. CO in a ACR in VietNam circa 1970`s. Paraphrasing somewhat.
In a Battalion to Regt. size operation he described the Battalion CO in his Command Chopper loaded with Commo. Gear at 2000 feet over the troops, with the Regt. CO above him at 3000 feet, and the Division CO above both at 5000 feet ( with even more Commo.gear )
All this filtering down from 5000 feet to the Company CO in the Forest below....his verdict was, exact quote:
" they had too little to do and too much communcations equipment to do it with "
