Bahger Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I've been experimenting with different force mixes in the QB setup interface but I always get either armor (all M1s), Heavy Infantry (all Bradleys) or Strykers, which I'm not keen on commanding. How can I get tanks plus infantry?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adultery Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 dont tease me rightly or wrongly, that was one of the best features of the old CM games IMO i loved picking stupid combos to see if i could still win (like twenty 60mm mortars v one tiger etc etc) so to answer your question....you cant anymore 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 What do you want? If you go to youtube or any Iraq military video site, do you ever see M1s operating with (gasp) Infantry walking with them? No way. So there.

[/end sarcasm] There's a perfectly legitimate role for both M1s and infantray in a medium-size MOUT operation, such as an assault on a town for example. Strykers are too vulnerable to Republican Guard T-72s and as discussed elsewhere, the Stryker MGS's inadequacy as an anti-armor platform is exacerbated by the reluctance of the AI to fire SABOT rounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way. I am sure you'll never find pictures or videos of M1s operating in built-up areas in Iraq, and if you do they never have crunchies with them (you know they call them crunchies for a reason).

MikeyD Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I may be getting my CMx1 and CMx2 game engines mixed up. If you play a QB map that already has troops 'purchased' on it (say a squad of Abrams) do those Abrams appear when the QB starts? This is a question i knew the answer to a year ago but have completely forgot. About Abrams with troops, don't the Marines operate differently from Army? Individual Abrams could show up as close infantry support for troops? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahger Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I cannot get a combined force of Abrams and Bradleys in a QB. Is that such an operational unreality? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Army doesn't EVER operate tanks w/o dismounts in built up terrain, I should know I wqas one of those dismounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Splinty, I knew I wasn't so far off-base. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
