    M1127 Recon Stryker spots better buttoned or unbuttoned?

    in Combat Mission Black Sea

    Posted · Edited by gnarly

    From what I've read on here, the standard (non-Recon) Stryker is best left unbuttoned to maximise spotting in-game (can't find the threads on this atm).

     

    In this thread @Vanir Ausf B lists vehicles better buttoned for spotting http://community.battlefront.com/topic/118276-to-button-or-not-to-button-spotting-the-enemy/?tab=comments#comment-1583995 but doesn't mention Strykers

     

    What say you re the Recon-specific M1127 Stryker with LRAS3? Buttoned or no? Is the LRAS3 system best used stationary, and perhaps difficult to use on the move (or not)? I could perhaps see when stationary, M1127 might be best buttoned to use LRAS3 effectively? But TBH I ain't going to be parking a Stryker anywhere as a primary OP: I'll be dismounted the Scout team and doing that on foot, leaving the Styker in concealment (if not cover)......

     

    The topic of crew vulnerability when unbuttoned is moot here (and yes, obvious in a modern battlefield): I am solely focussed on (long distance) spotting please.

     

    TIA

    Oh wowsers. A Bud Black Sea graphic novel.!!!!!

     

    I haven't been here in ages (normally over at FGM), but I have post notifications setup for the BS forums, and what a surprise to get this present.  Much appreciated Bud! As much as I've followed quite a few of your WW2 comics, its AWESOME to see a modern one, no matter how violent and rapid it is.

     

    No trading pew-pews and grenades at 20m here!!!!

    What Sburke said.

     

    Always unload/load behind cover/concealment, and let the ground-pounders use their own legs to get onto the front line and into contact. Also try to ensure that the transport route is also out of LOS of potential enemy OPs, and consider smoke for areas they may be exposed. or even reconsider if it is really worth the risk of exposing your battle-taxi and passengers to enemy fire at these locations

     

    For fire support, spend the time to look for keyhole positions , or set back inside woods with a narrow exposure. Also consider defilade positions.

     

    Always have them behind a screen of infantry when providing fire support, but still ensuring their exposure is very restricted/limited.

    Are base game downloads not available during the Battlefront store transition?

    I am trying to re-download the Black Sea base installer (I have unearthed all my patch files), and have rediscovered my Download.Info email. The link therein takes me to the 'Download Area' of the store, with me logged in.  But there are no downloads there? A note there says:

     

    "We are in the process of migrating to a new website and store. During this transition we can not accept new orders. We hope to be fully live on our new site by July 13. Thank you for your patience!"

     

    But I wouldn't think I would be classed as a 'new order' since my email is from almost 3 years ago?

     

     

    Can someone point me to an alternative download location for the base game?

    2) a player can still win or lose as a consequence of agreeing to a cease fire

     

    4) If a player chooses to surrender, does the game result in total defeat automatically? yes

    5) Considering possibilities in 3) above, is it possible for a player to choose to surrender and still gain a draw? no
