Nicdain Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I was just reading the online manual when I found something apparently odd about the Warrior: in the description it says that its capacity is 7 soldiers. This means that an entire section of 8 soldiers cannot be carried on a single vehicle? It seems to me that this could complicate troop loading a bit. Unless I have missed something... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevinger Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 If you're right, they did the same thing with the Bradley, who can only carry 6 or 7 soldiers in reality. But for gameplay purposes, they eliminated the "cross-loading" problems by expanding the cargo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicdain Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 So, maybe Warrior capacity could be extended to 8 passenger to fit a whole section. That would ease things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The Warrior capacity is correct - the Section Commander is also the vehicle Commander and therefore sits in the turret. Whether or not he dismounts is his choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 yes, the warrior in game can only carry 7 extra troops, but the typical British infantry section only has 7 soldiers, so it is not an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicdain Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ok, now all is clear. Thanks for the clarification 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Being as confusion is the base state when discussing the organisation of the British army, I shall attempt to confuse things some more. The standard British section is eight men. However, the armoured infantry section (armoured infantry being those equipped with Warrior) is seven, so it all fits nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the specific case of CMSF, we have sections of 8 men which have to fit in Warriors, where the crew is already 3? Or one of the crew is the commander which is one of the section of 8 men? I am confused again... :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confused again... :confused: Maybe it is the same system that is in use with the BMPs :confused: The crew is only two, rising to 3 with the team/squad leader acting as vehicle commander (you can see him jumping on his hatch). Same with the M3 Bradley if I remember well :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webwing Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 A picture might help here. As flamingknives mentioned not all sections are made equal. Although a *standard* section has 8 men the armoured infantry section has 7. This is the section that fits in the Warrior. That is 7 men plus 3 crew. - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Crew of 3, dismount section of 7. In theory, it should be 2 permanent and 8 dismount, but the hassle of moving to and from or out of the turret means that what happens in reality is that the commander stays in the turret and 7 men get out the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingknives Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Always. Although in this case I'm blaming people posting while I'm typing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Somebody's got to stay behind to keep the teapot on the boil I actually see the commander staying in the vehicle as a good thing. Its always been annoying for me to dismount my inf and find the Bradley (or BMP-2) undercrewed as a result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The way to think of it is this... each mounted Section has 10 men, no matter if it is mounted in a Warrior or a Bulldog. The Warrior has a crew of 3 and therefore the dismounted element is 7. The Bulldog has a crew of 2 and therefore the dismounted element is 8. Light Infantry (no dedicated rides) have 8 soldiers per Section because they don't need 2 or 3 extra men for vehicles they don't have. Hope that confuses things a little bit more Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
