Sorry, but I can't remember the exact number of missions in the NATO campaigns but I'm
pretty sure the german campaign has most missions.
Best user made - well its a matter of taste but I really like USMC Gung Ho!
-
If you want a go at the 3rd mission, I can PM you my save, you have all teams ready
and your core units are in overall good shape.
-
You should start the battle with 3rd Platoon, 1 Co. Tac. Group : Pl. HQ (2 soldiers); 3 squads (3 x 6 soldiers) of mech. inf. ; 1 x Igla team ; 3 x BTR-4E
and support from 1 Coy : Sniper team; RPO team; Breach team; 1 x BTR-4E if you have no casualties in the first 2 missions.

Great news, thanks for doing this campaign, would be a nice change from the somewhat armor heavy Campaigns that came with the release.

I like to use historic correct names, in my (only) scenario made for CMBN called "MG No Country for Tanks" I tried to be as authentical as
possible and at that point in Op. Market Garden, on the 21st of September, IG was down to 3 Infantry Coys because of heavy casualties
No. 1,2 and 4. But why Guards units use numbers instead of letters I dont know, problably a very old tradition.

What I liked the most about CMSF was the USMC and its "not so much as the Army high tech equipment" like the M16 and the Smaw and
the unique TOE with 13 men in a rifle squad, it was so much fun to play with, and not to have all those Javelins as the Army units had.
So I realy want USMC in a module but also VDV and their equipment, the French Army would be fun to.
-
Always interesting to see your approach to the missions, looking forward
to the next video.
-
A masterpiece of a master map.

I also need more experience in this kind of missions, called in my Apaches to soon and got both of them KO'ed, its a question of destroying ENY air defence assets but at the
same time have enough time to use all jets and helicopters without the ENY gets away.
Learned that you can call in ARTY in the UAVs zone (the blue circle) with another team (not the one that ordered the UAV mission) as long as the firemission starts inside circle.
-
I have about 40 minutes left in "Poking." I feel proper use of UAV and precision arty is key.
I feel that to, use the Gray Eagle at the start only as observation then it cant be shoot down, KO all Tunguskas (with ARTY) and then call in the small Ravens which cant be
shoot down by SAM's

When I load that QB map it looks like the OP.
Specs :
Win 7 (x64)
Intel i7-2600-3.40
nVidia GTX 560 Ti
CMBS 1.1

Spitzenhund, I could only count 3 Oplots remaining in your screenshot, if thats true I would start this mission all over,
you are going to need those Tanks in the last mission, which is total mayhem (and fun).
-
This looks awesome, thanks for doing this
-
Thanks for doing this Kieme(ITA), looks very nice.

The game has hit Final Candidate, great news !
IanL, that video is so funny, great find, Battlefront might consider using that monkey
for APS in light vehicles !
-
You might notice by the timestamp I'm posting this at 4am. We're moving heaven-and-earth to finish up.
Thank you MikeyD, very much appreciated.

And it's even arguable that it's a less-optimal thing to do as the range increases, since the arc rotates with the hull and a smaller angular deflection is required to throw the arc completely off the target if the arc only just covers it. You should be using broader arcs at longer range, not shorter.
Never thought of arcs that way, will try it out.
-
I Use slow command because of the terrain, like crossing roads, trenches and muddy ground not so much for spotting abilities, if I want to scout it's best to stop the Tank.
-
Found this video series about the scenario "Lancing the Abscess" :
-
I agree that you have to be careful with cover arcs, you pointed that out very nicely womble, especially playing wego, but it can be very useful over longer distances where you may have visual on enemy tank or
suspect enemy tank and kind of "zoom in" on the enemy tank with your arc.
