  1. Yeah you seem to have a pretty good understanding of modern tactics and SOP. But maybe my fellow army vets @Rinaldi or @IICptMillerII want to chime in with their own experiences edit: yikes, looks like rinaldi disagrees, oh well, different opinions and whatnot
  2. You’re assuming the enemy is static when you assault. Recon continues to be useful in identifying enemy positions and assets as they get shifted around. Just not using recon units would be a waste. They can move to the flanks, do more recon, etc.
  3. That's gonna be a Yikes from me friendo.

      Hello @sid_burn you are very big man and your views on the Deep State are very interesting and I wish to provide you with my girlfriend's phone number. Please call it ASAP so you may teach us to dab on the Deep State and also provide sexual pleasure to my girlfriend which I am incapable of providing.

      Warm Regards and wet kisses,

      Rinaldi

      You made a good choice coming to me.

      I have quite a few strategies for defeating the deep state.

      Kettler and a few other agents should be contacted.

      Each one of you has to be extremely careful to prevent discovery

      Soon the deep state will be discovered friendo.

  4. I was just agreeing with you in a joking manner, no worries I personally find @Rinaldi's assertions to be the opposite of mine. I spent a few years in the Bundeswehr myself and I clearly had a vastly different experience when it comes to recon. We didn't put much faith in scouting vehicles.
  5. Being sent to heaven does give your scouts a better view of the battlefield, so maybe you're onto something here @Erwin
  6. This is all very well and good, but how do the black-eyed kids fit into this?
  7. Isn't it? A lot of the vanilla scenarios are Americans vs barely armed insurgents. Yeah sure you have some force on force scenarios, but a lot of Shock Force is classic COIN in my opinion. http://www.businessinsider.com/isis-javelin-2017-8 Not outside the realm of possibility Funny chart though.
  8. I always thought the dynamic of uncons vs regular forces was very fun. It sucks that CMSF is the only CM that acts as a proper COIN simulator. I personally would love to see uncons in some of the WWII titles (maybe they could work in Final Blitzkrieg). Hybrid warfare in WWII would be fun!
  9. This is disappointing, as I'm sure it would have been a very close battle with a lot of great tactics on both sides. @Rinaldi will you be considering this a victory by default (the greatest word in the American language)?
  10. MFW we get a battlefront throwdown. I hope one of you makes an AAR of this, I'd love to see this.
  11. I wouldn't say he does all that LOL , I find his videos to be less entertaining to other notable video AARers like @IICptMillerII and @Sulomon but his videos are pretty good.
  12. Thanks Oleksander! Happy 4th July and Also Slava Ukrayini! to you as well. I'm looking forward to more great mods (as I'm sure @Rinaldi is as well).
  13. This is great to hear. I think you could maybe even include some of your Ukranian mods in Shock Force 2. The Marines have been working a lot with the Ukrainians recently (hopefully the Ukrainians were teaching them how to properly deal with Russian forces ), so maybe you could even represent Ukrainian mercenaries or advisers? I think it was @IICptMillerII or @Sulomon who mentioned how he'd love to see the Azov Regiment fight the Republican Guard!
  14. I know I'll be enjoying it! Will you be porting these to Shock Force 2? I've been reading @IICptMillerII's latest AAR in SF 1 and I think it's a bit bland texture wise. I'd love to see you redo the Syrian forces or even better, the Americans, they could use some uniform and camo tips from the Ukrainian army. I'd love to see you do improved paint jobs and textures for the rather bland Abrams, Strykers, and Bradleys.
  15. These are some great mods @Oleksandr .I imagine many of the Black Sea mod fans on this forum will be downloading them, maybe @Rinaldi or @IICptMillerII will be using them in his next Black Sea AAR.
  16. Sadly “Sid_Burn” isn’t some sort of complicated anagram for “battlefront developer” and so I avoid promising what I can’t deliver.
  17. I’m not sure you want me to do that. Think if I leave and come back in 5 years, how many more issues will @Rinaldi and @IICptMillerII have discovered in that time that you weren’t able to find?
  18. Like I said, provide an actual argument and I’ll bother to actually engage it. The Baghdad Bob routine you are pulling isn’t an argument “the 4.0 patch is coming guys, ignore the tanks rolling behind me.” Also lmao did you just try and throw out a little threat? Oh no I might get banned from an Internet forum, if it’s so offensive, I’ll remove it. Wouldn’t want to offend the real snowflakes, as @IanL would say It took @Rinaldi and @IICptMillerII pointing out the 4.0 glitch for it to even be acknowledged. Gotta wonder if this whole issue could have been avoided if BFC hired some competent beta testers off indeed.
  19. This is rich coming from someone who just handwaves away all criticisms on the basis that "they must know what they are doing." Again, you have literally no evidence to back up your own assertions, yet pull out the "get more evidence card." At this point we'll likely see the major effects of climate change before we actually get the 4.0 patch or any substantial content. But personally I look forward to the forum update: "Hey it's Steve here reporting from the flooded ruins of Augusta Maine, 4.0 fix will be coming soon, in the meantime here are 2 random Rome to Victory Screenshots, give us money." But then we get to my favourite part Smart move to run away, come at me with something a bit better next time or don't come at all.
  20. This is a bad argument. They keep all relevant information (sales figures, cash flow, etc.) secret ostensibly to "protect it from competition." Just pointing to longevity is ridiculous, for all you know they could have been limping along for 20 years, it's literally impossible to know how successful they are. I'll tell you what's not a sign of a good company, releasing an update with a game breaking bug (I consider it game breaking because it effectively makes the single player unplayable, unless you enjoy effortlessly gunning down fleeing AI troops) and charge $10 for it. Then going over a year and a half without any sign of a fix on the way. Bonus points for the fact that the update to fix 4.0 will also likely require you to pay for it because BFC loves its customers so much that they nickle and dime them for basic bug fixes. But hey, I gotta give some credit to BFC, they've clearly mastered the art of building up a dedicated fanbase. Paying customers are demanding some action to fix their game, and we got @IanL throwing out terms like snowflakes, because screw them for wanting to be able to play their $60 game without using janky workarounds.
  21. I mean @AtheistDane has shown us to both be wrong, so I agree, the discussion is pointless.
