Hydaspes

hah,well limiting opponents movement is not acceptable imo. moving by the edges can be dangerous.you can put mines and bam,fancy abrams gone edit: something like this https://youtu.be/Jat7sdQSx1Q?t=106 i am not napoleon, i just listen to him

MAP this will happen turn 1 or 2, depending on the speed of abrams tanks http://imgur.com/9TFNExx

NOTE: noone should share this info with sublime, nor his info with me. (check his side of the story) this is my first time doing DAR so it might not be on the same standard(long ,tidy and with perfect english) of the previous DARS ( maybe) but tactics/strategy will be presented clearly comments are welcome,aswell as advices ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ------------- BATTLE: Medium MAP: LARGE BLUE PROBE Time: 1hour Clear rarity:standard EW:no TURN: ZERO,deployment INITIAL PLAN: 1) 3 platoons of abrams tanks will pierce Sublime's defenses.they will move on the extreme left (from US perspective). 2) 350 shells (120mm) will fall on the key surrounding woods that have line of sight and are a danger to the US schwerpunkt , in addition 300 60mm shells will fall on distant key areas on the map 3)abrams platoons will advance at full speed untill the very end of Russian side of the map, in column of three. however one Abrams tank will take the nearby position that is covered by a barn, to help neutralise potential russian armour/atgm teams in the corridor that is being engaged by 8 other abrams tanks (corridor is as i said,on the extreeme left) 4)after they reach destination,they will eliminate any/every russian and slowly prepare to advance on the village/town to the east, untill then Infantry will catch up and kill wounded russian soldiers laying in the woods/fields 5)at the same time as 4) ,infantry MMGs and javelin teams will take up the positions on the hill to try to offer some support to the Abrams platoons 7)after this,major objective,town/village will be assaulted,details are unclear Whole plan is to strike fast and hard,from the very beginning , no matter the cost. this battle will be decided in 5 minutes now that doesnt mean there wasnt careful planning and micromanagment,far from that. its simple plan,and thats its advantage. do what the enemy doesnt expect you to do,as napoleon once said (Screenshots will be posted soon,and everything will be clear as day because of simplicity and the speed at which everything will unfold) Videos: might be used aswell COMPOSITION: INFANTRY: 1 x US infantry company (3 platoons) + Fire support ,HQ etc ARMOUR: 1 x Armoured company (3 platoons,9 tanks,no aps) (some deleted to fit it 3x3) SUPPORT/ARTILERY: 7x 120mm Artilery 3x 60mm Mortar 14 TRP markers 90% of the troops are regular/high+0, some veterans

k i solved it somehow, sending file

i have a problem, i keep getting deployed at your deployment, tried 2 times now, turned of Cmh aswell , how do i fix this? also dont worry about thread,knowing where your enemy is just kills whole point of combat mission edit:i didnt exit the purchasing screen during any moment,but bug still happened

ok i ll attack. lets do without restrictions on aps (just to make it harder for you to know what i ll pick) . i ll send the file in 30m-1h

ok lets play. same map as in my previous battle? its large map, medium funds? day,clear,1hour

i just finished a battle with russian player. 50 soldiers out of combat, 2 bmp3s , 2 t90am(edit) , whole right flank destroyed into oblivion, ready to push the unprepared center , my loses are 8 men in total out of combat (counting Wia and kia)+ targeting on abrams is red/knocked out ,but he managed to destroy 1 t90am after that lol... , other 6 abrams are unscratched,, he surendered. yes its not impossible to beat US army in this game,but its far harder than it should be. i ordered fast command for abrams tanks and when poor at 14 lased them, abrams just threw smoke (+ i ordered them at one point just in case) and continued to eat their flank, 4 out of 7 abrams tanks were sent via a corider 5x5 m2 and broke that flank,with support of 120/150mm artilery and few machine guns.. i will play only russians from now on (yes i might beat new players who are playing americans) and i ll try to win vs an average opponent, or at least destroy 1 abrams tank, ill be happy if i dammage 1 abrams http://imgur.com/PVGW6w6 those icons on his right flank are shattered/panicked or wounded useless troops, so only at the center he has some firepower left. and those in the center and his left are small teams,icons gives false impression of his strenght

when taken out of context intentionally yes

send 9 t90s vs 5 abrams, even outflank them 1 turn(abrams will turn around in 3 seconds and insta rape t90), they will all die, ofcourse unless they are elite +2 fanatic , but then they are 5% more expensive than abrams veterans so it ll be 5v5 at best,and elite skill is helping 0% when it comes to armour,been testing many times concentration of forces during attack (mobile tanks) is a valid tactic btw, just pwned some poor russians this turn (pbem) that way , hit and retreat. and if he had some t90s in my line of sight,they would be dead by now edit: my point: optics,armour of abrams are just far too superior,and their cost is nothing serious,specially if u are attacker and u are doing pincer or thrust movement (usually on the flanks) edit2: i forgot to say, yes the fact that they are not a large team is not making me happier when it comes down to bugs. even u said, they are working on multilple projects while not fixing previous ones, its just how it is, i dont wana aplaud someone who doesnt fix bugs and work on new games

ive read entire post, my points are: t90am is 480+ , abrams i 660+, thats not 2:1, and considering 1 abrams can take out 2-3 t90s.... (yes i know,tactics,but we are talking pure balance/power) russian Sturm AT is a joke,a bad joke,a very very bad joke khrizantema is i duuno,it can deal damage,but its spoting is not as good as m1a2's and its armour is a bad joke , in real battle,with trees and obstacles its not efficient enough Russian tanks , t90 series, are just not good enough to do anything, i really duuno how would you beat a competent player who takes abrams tanks, and t90 in combination with kornet and khrizantema, is also not as good as you might think, again, against competent player. you cant just place 3-4 teams/tanks in 1 spot like in company of heroes arcade ... and imagine 7 abrams tanks attacking 1 part of the map or flank (thats what i am doing now in one pbem battle, first turn, bmp3 and 1 squad dead already on the enemy side) also those bugs with abrams and bradley are just helping my 'cause' , also why arent they fixed already, i hope we wont wait untill 2017 war in the ukraine breaks out between nato and russia

i dont see it as aggressive at all, your quotes are little out of context, when you look at the whole sentence then it doesn't sound aggressive

why do we have to form 2 factions and fight. thread was fairly neutral at the start, my opinion is that russians are not quite well represented in comparison to americans,in this specific theatre (fictional) but i am also welcoming information regarding why they are represented in this way, even if that info will make me wrong

i am also interested why is it like this,its not a pure attack on bfc. but some things are really suspicious
