    small arm evolution and body armour

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    any of the grogs know what the next evolution of the small arm is going to be?

    seems like with the advent of effective body armour these days...and over the next 50 years that the merry go round has come a full circle and personsal armour is getting pretty good......carbon nanotube and all that goodness doesnt seem far away either

    whats the counter? are they still trying to get caseless ammo sorted?

    flechette rounds?

    a bit discontentment about target line

    By the time the 'center of mass' of an advancing squad is spotted, enough of its soldiers are exposed/in the open such that, once the spotting, and, consequently, the shooting, starts, they have no time to retreat behind cover.

    what i have seen so many many teeth knashing times is......as each INDIVIDUAL soldier comes into view...they get gunned down one at a time

    like lemmings

    i have never seen your way where the entire squad is in view before the OPFOR opens fire with small arms

    bleh, firing in combat isnt the same as sitting on a range......hard to hit a thing actually

    i was on our company shooting team for both years i was in the army (not a sniper by anymeans)

    im confident i could hit a running man at 300m probably 4/5 times from a prone position blah blah blah...we did reaction shoots...the whole nine yards.

    then we used to have live fire assault drills where you had to run 200m through the bush at a timed pace (not flat out but fast) then do a range where you had to fire and manover your way down the range shooting at targets from 25 to 150m away.

    with the run, the 4 steps...drop to the ground, shuffle off position, fire, shuffle off position and another 3 steps......for 100m of range, most were lucky to even get a round on paper.

    let alone if the targets were firing back.

    squad tactics and movies

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    i was just curious, probably a little off topic for this forum.....i am watching "band of brothers" on dvd at the moment

    good show, but i was wondering about the fidelity of the tactics used during filming, i keep hearing how the actors had to do basic training and etc etc to be authentic

    all i see are large groups of soldiers patrolling in a closed up herd with no set spacing, chatting away to each other.

    people firing from the hip, all sorts of rubbish that would have a size 11 in your arse if you even did this in basic training.....let alone battalion

    is this just consessions made to make it better to watch for the viewer? or was most of the tactics used for patrolling, fire and manover and such invented after ww2?
