    First impressions about British gameplay

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    I haven't actually finished the 1st mission yet (stupid work getting in the way of the important stuff again!), but I'm not far off.

    *** Possible spoiler ***

    I found keeping my Scimitars a long way back from the main group of buildings and using 'target light' most of the time in order to save the 30mm ammo for more stubborn targets has so far been pretty successful. Even so, I've managed to lose one Scimitar in a probe up the right flank after I foolishly assumed my 155mm barrage had taken care of any lurking Syrians.

    As for team leaders dying in close quarters fighting, I've always had this problem in CMSF as they are generally the first through the door. Having several other units hosing down the building often helps, but this isn't always practical or even possible.

    hmm I haven't noticed squad leaders in particular dying in house storming. Perhaps things could be tweaked so that when a move order is issued into a building, the squad leader doesn't plough in first but sends his grenadier etc..

    Come to think of it are squad leaders even modelled at the head of a formation? Surely they shouldn't be..

    In that kind of green zone combat I doubt the Brits can put accurate aimed fire back down range. It's probs more of.. we're taking fire from this vicinity put down a field of fire in attempt to suppress and then try and hit it with an airstrike. If they don't suppress the area effectively then the talib could probs quite easily retreat.

    going back to the Ross Kemp doc, one of the missions they went out on was deemed a 'success' as they had 2 confirmed enemy kills, and this was on a company sized 4 day patrol.

    moving in lines

    something that's always occurred to me when moving my squads around is they always follow the man in front.. is this the tactical way to move around the battlefield? surely it would be nice to choose whether you want to advance like that, or side by side to have maximum fire power and eyes facing forward? or is that a way to get your guys killed quick?

    Replay Scenarios

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    1) How many times do you as a player replay a scenario?

    2) Do you replay the scenario if you know there is more then one RedAI plan?

    3) Does it make sense to have more then one RedAI plan?

    4) Do you play more H2H, Blue vs RedAI, Red vs BlueAI. or Red vs RedAI?

    1) usually until I win.

    2) It was enjoyable the 1st time round I'll replay, if I thought it was too easy I probs won't replay.

    3) If both plans are tactically sound then sure. If it was toss up between a whole new scenario or a dif AI plan I'd pick a new scenario tho :P

    4) mainly blue vs red AI, however I'll try anything vs the AI.
