So wanted to see the pine air freshener dangling from the roof jiggle every time you fired the main (oh, for the driver perspective.) The views aren't all what they're cracked up to be, nice open views means you are a nice open target. RIP Sierra-1. Just peeking the turret is a skill. Good work of hull down, but the walk ups are nasty. _If_ we were doing the combined arms thing then you'd have an attached set a ground troops protecting your immediate. That takes a lot of communication but is a force multiplier (not addition) when implemented, and it's good to see working - pity we're not doing that (budget constraints and all), but we get what we get. Good job out there.

Classic film that 'Anthropic Blunder' - only film where I've seen that Top Cat guy actually act and I hear that was even just channelling of someone he didn't like. Nice aggression in the forest with the AR and grenade. I mentioned on another channel that WW2 German tactics was to not do communications with less than 4 otherwise you would likely never see them again. It is what it is, and it's instructional. I like to think on how to solve the situation. Stay firm and request link up? But iit wasn just yellow, Those buddy take turns in patching is just a down the plug hole spiral. It really came across on how you were working it. So thank you for bringing it. Nice on doing the subtitles, that's a lot of work and highly appreciated. Mike can be such a jerk at times. You could get a job doing anime subs.

For that last town area... we got stretched too thin. We could have stayed concentrated and that might have improved our chances? But we were Bravo, it was not going to end well for us. For solving the problem once we were in it... Short of getting platoon to ride to our rescue, I think just going firm was the only real option. However, that plan kept failing when the buildings were collapsing.
@lexicdark2 ай бұрын
Totally (buildings are not your friend even though they provide good firing lines they're then also a target for high cal. and HE rounds when people hide in them.) It's hard to catch that point where you first start getting thin and need to regroup and not press on- so many factors. But that's risk management: three small risks skip being a medium and go straight to high (emergency - someone is going to die). Seeing that point and calling it, or even learning to see it is something. Keep up the fight against the 'standard' fate of Bravo! We got to see the 'real' you when pushed far and working it, and I have to say well done when you found yourself over that line.

I have a wireless headset that I use, its nice but... if I don't start it in the right order... OBS doesn't pick up the device active. And I would need to look at the audio output or check a sample to notice. Which I didn't until way later.

@@jeffreypurcell4681 Nope. I just had the mission fresh in my head and manually added text boxes for each point in the town clear. There are parts where I mess it up. Like the first "Bunker Clear" message was mistimed but.. at that point I couldn't be bothered to fix it.

@lexicdark3 ай бұрын
technically your command (that sent you out there for the BMP) should have called it up to the blocking element on the gate / front door. Having seen the other side you can't really blame them (an 'oh shit, here comes another one...' - they were not aware of your directed maneuver.) Even the FF event at the shed when coming out of the office should have been called by FTL/SL that the other element was sent around (because you would correctly presume things on the other side are not friendly especially when they look the same.) Situational Awareness / Battlefield Awareness is everyone's responsibility, and there are set demarcations for it... Anyway, that's all hindsight. And it's called that because of the perspective that's required for it. lol Good work for a hard day!
