Erwin Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Have been enjoying replaying this new version. I admit that I do not remember much about the original version that I musta played 10+ years ago. But, a couple oddities that surprised me: In the missions the inf start heavily loaded with ammo - approx 500 rounds per man IIRC (normal RL combat load is about 300 rounds pp IIRC) - so no need to ACQUIRE at the start. However that also means that the need for ammo conservation is low/non-existent. In one large 2 hour mission am about 30 minutes from the end and I can only recall having to give one squad some ammo just cos it was easy to do while they were mounted but not really cos they needed it urgently. So, not sure if this new version has been made easier (at least re ammo supply) or if I just don't remember the original very well. (Hopefully it's just cos I am a much better player.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking from the Canadian Army in Afghanistan - I was with the guns and pulling security for a PRT but 10 x 30rd magazines is more or less accurate. I'm sure that during Medusa or among units who were out looking for a fight they might have carried more.

Erwin Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 300 rounds seems normal combat load. I was questioning the 500 rounds the designer gave everyone. Have long thought that there should be a more easily seen penalty for heavy loaded inf. Currently, everyone could have 1,000 rounds pp and it doesn't seem to slow em down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 IIRC the first scenario starts with a yomp to a series of compounds on the player's left.....I wonder if the designer was trying to slow them down a bit? I'd guess if you quick move them, they would tire more rapidly than less heavily loaded units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 IIRC a statistical difference in movement ability was reported, but even carrying over 1,000 rounds pp plus supporting weapons, there is no obvious movement penalty while playing. ie: The penalty may be too subtle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougPhresh Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 This observation applies to QB as well as the campaign: Not even in the Stratcona's does a Trooper get command of his own vehicle! Better to have a Cpl or MCpl rank displayed for NCM vehicle commanders I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
