But this tatic only works if your enemy is a mindless titan/zombie tho, normal person can see the smoke

[@ailius1520]

@@vermusl6316 Well that and they'd need to each be carrying an entire crate of smoke grenades, when they're already carrying two boxes of swords. Also there are 6 distinguishable colors plus black and white, for a total of 8 possible types of messages. Also, they'd need a backup in case of weather...fog, wind, rain, etc. As for what else besides smoke? Signal flags and bugles were historically used at that level of technology. They'd be good for routine messages like "turn left" or "stop", while smoke would still be great for one-time emergency messages like "Holt sh!t! Abnormal Titan here!" The second rank is redundant. The first rank alone can relay messages to the man on point, which is the only position that can steer this formation. There is no planned reaction (QRF) to a black smoke signal. Given how Levi squad is occupied, what we should see is Miche squad going to the source of black smoke and killing the abnormal rather than have the spotter try to do it. (Though perhaps before Eren, Levi squad was the reaction force and they just didn't have QRF for that mission because it was a bait run anyway.) And, while the concept is "spread out as much as possible for scouting distance", the formation is *too* spread out where nobody can support their soldier next to them and the entire Survey Corps can be defeated in detail. And that wall of text you just skipped past is a small fraction of the things anyone who has studied tactics would notice.

Erwin was a fucking genius!

[@TruRequiem]

The Long-range Scouting Formation is a genuinely genius example of Erwin Smith's military-tactical mind. As another comment put it, it's a giant human radar! The front-most regiment acts as detection, the signal is then given to the commander via the relay regiment and then navigational changes are distributed to all the remaining squads via the command regiment with the elite squads and supply regiment in the center being protected by the rest of the formation. This makes the most sense because apart from human lives the most valuable assets in the formation is the most skilled and experienced soldiers & cargo (in this case being supplies and of course, Eren.) Logistically you could not get a better formation than this in titan territory and it shows why even as a captain, Erwin's squads usually made it home unscathed. It was also another genius move to disclose any/all information about the purpose of the mission and the location of the Special-Ops squad for Erwin had suspected there was an infiltrator in their ranks. This wasn't an expedition so much as it was one big elaborate trap for the enemy.

So for anyone who’s not sure what Erwin’s plan was here’s the step by step starting with his initial theories **forming the plan** Eren is a human who can turn into a Titan. Conclusion? Humans can turn into titans If humans can turn into Titans have there been any other titan shifters? We’ve had reports of how the colossal Titan appears in similar fashion to Eren’s Titan. Conclusion? the colossal and by extension the armored Titans are humans If the colossal and armored titans are humans who are they? Moreover why didn’t they breach wall Rose? Conclusion?they were present to see Eren’s arrival and likely apart of the military If they were apart of the military then who? They couldn’t have been present before the walls were breached. Conclusion: they are hiding amongst the 104th cadets This leads into **the plan itself** Step 1: going off the initial hypothesis that the titans are 104tb cadets he sets up a “honey pot.” (Or a tempting target that is secretly a trap) During the initiation ceremony note how he sets up Eren, the upcoming mission, and the basement. Going out of his way to divulge information. He’s baiting the warriors to attack Step 2: narrow the potential suspects. Erwin goes out of his way to talk up about how dangerous joining the scouts is and how likely you are to die. This scares away majority of people. Those that remain are his pool of suspects as the titans would remain in order to capture Eren regardless of the personal danger. Step 3: amongst the 104th cadets spread them out across the formation and give each of them a different position for Eren to be present. The goal being to bait the enemy to attack the section Eren is stated to be present Tell Cadet A that Eren is in section 8, Cadet B section 6 and Cadet C section 12. If the enemy attacks Section 6 Cadet B is the spy And we see this play out note: how when the female Titan attacks it attacks from the Right Flank and as Reiner, Armin, and Jaen talk they each say Eren is in a different section but Reiner says “Wait I thought Eren was in the RIGHT FLANK.” And just like that Erwin’s gambit has been successful. Any cadet who was told Eren was on the right flank is now a suspect Most notably: Reiner and Berthold Note how Jaen who had Eren on the left flank is removed from suspicion and Armin who discovers Annie is as well but by Step 3 Erwin has been successful. And narrowed down his suspects and now simply needs to weed out the rest. Those who are still under suspicion are separated from the rest of the scouts and sent to the isolated outpost where we see them in the start of Season 2

All of them died , that's why later on the season you see levi comment how the scouts quality has extremely degraded

[@halowize]

@@huunter006 yeah I know they are long dead since season 2 including the levi squad and Mike friend of Erwin that is why i said the word "IF" got it?

[@vertex6586]

​@@huunter006some of them actually is still alive but they retired after this expedition because of how dangerous the situation is.

[@attackonlevi5383]

@@vertex6586really who retired

[@cal_oh3663]

This was peak Attack on Titan. So much better than what's being presented now. Realistic tactics that work against insurmountable odds. Fantastic character interactions and leadership. Seeing all the strongest fighters in the AoT universe working together was when this show was at its best. I wish they would go back to this instead of the time traveling and founding titan bullshit

[@superior_nobody07]

It's not time traveling, its much more intricate than that. S1 aot is good, but the series is considered a masterpiece because of everything that came after

Someone tell me the ost that plays when Erwin Explains the formation pleaseee

This shows Steel Ball Run is still possible

Hopefully.. Another reason why Stone Ocean should be hyped on NETFL1X

If aot can animate horses im sure jojo part 7 can be done

(1:45) Looking at birds will never be the same when re-watching AOT. 🕊💀 Edit: After making this comment, I immediately noticed that a red flare was fired, in the same direction Armin was looking, RIGHT AFTER the two birds flew off. I'm speculating that that's Future Eren in the afterlife watching over Armin from the past, and after watching the ending, I can never trust Hajime Isayama again. 😭

やっぱり昔の古参の兵士がいる調査兵団がかっこいは

[@ut7656]

Great tactics. Moreover, Erwin tried to find a spy by hiding where Eren was. Amazing.

[@daddysasageyo9263]

people forget that erwin invented this when they're trying to compare him to armin lol

[@madara_ackerman]

Armin has a shitload of feats too

[@attackonlevi5383]

@@madara_ackermantrue but his age nerfs him bad Erwin already knew the truth of the world and his own government he was serving years before armin was born

Can someone tells me about the name of the music?

[@Requiem0139]

i would say this , the plan for retaking shinganshina and the showcasing of the files of the warriors are my top 3 scenes in aot of when they do an explanation

[@berkexan4117]

They really made air tight with all that suspense,titans were hella scary back then

[@Ranjana_gupta1709]

How are people not talking about Mikasa being a squad herself?

[@RavusNox-z5i]

This was when AoT was peak.

Goddammit That fucking abnormal scared me first time I saw it 😂😂😂😂😂

Music at 2:57 reminds me of bourne movies. Specially during the chases

[@saintahkii]

the levi squad will always be badass

[@CaptainRex-7567-CT]

Erwin is probably the only person that can convince me to ride to certain death

[@georgezhang865]

My question is, are they really gonna fire a smoke signal even if there is just one giant? How many signals do they bring😂

Man, I miss these cool strategy scenes. There's none of these in s4.

[@superior_nobody07]

How would there be, you can't exactly ride horse and shot flares across Marley

[@juliandavidhoffer2022]

I really wish we got more time with the veteran Survey Corps. They were all so badass but that was the point of killing them unfortunately.

God it would suck to be colorblind in this scenario

[@Jamsome59]

It’s kinda sad thinking that by the end of season 3 of all of these scouts only 9 remained. By that point nearly all of them had given their lives and……. their hearts.

[@ismaelhall3990]

Erwin was too damn smart.
