Conducting The First AUTHENTIC Airfield Seizure in Gaming History

[@karmakut]

As far as I know this is the first serious milsim attempt at an airfield seizure. It was only made possible thanks to our SOF SME's Grim, Savage, Seige, and ControlledPairs. Hope you guys enjoy!

Breathtaking video. Former operator here, I am amazed at how accurate your MilSim is. Fantastic job.

[@jackhames3874]

Not a paratrooper but I’ve been in the Infantry for 6 years now, you guys nailed this. The commo traffic sounds spot on, the tactics were legit, absolutely text book. Bravo guys

[@JDLT645]

As someone who has been a paratrooper with many similar missions sets and jumps, I have to commend the accuracy of this. Brings back many good and bad training memories.

[@roostercogburn3272]

I was going to say the same thing. Except I would point out the DZ would almost never be on the actual airfield itself. Not in a situation like that anyway. You can't have people landing next to shilkas, lmfao. That's no good. I was at Ft. Bragg from 2008 to 2011, btw. 4/73 Cav 4th BCT 82nd. Overall, I'd say they did a pretty decent job, but if they're going for realism, they should include the hour long LGoPs all finding each other in the dark to ask if anyone knows where 'x unit' is over and over until they finally see their units buzzsaw or whatever other rally signal. Then the additional 30min to an hour pulling security waiting for everyone else to come in. Then the final ruck, before securing the objective. I guess my point is that they left out all the really sh*tty parts of a JFEX. All those freezing nutsacks and lots of waiting around. People stuck in trees, etc. Maybe someone could make a realism mod for that? lmfao

Agreed. Those JRTC jump and seizure was always fun after the fact lol. too long during

[@roostercogburn3272]

@@nicholasvalentine9749 I've realized looking back how crazy it is that so much of that was just experienced as day-to-day work, and nothing really special. At the time, we mostly couldn't wait for whatever 'thing' to be over with, so we could get back to barracks to jerk off and play video games or whatever, lol. Seriously though, at the time, it all kind of just 'sucked'. Looking back though, some of those things were nothing short of incredible. Especially deployments. That's why I think coming home is so hard. The stakes will never be quite so high. Nothing will ever be quite so intense. There's something about willfully putting yourself in harm's way that makes you feel more alive than ever before. It's hard to reconcile that being gone. At least we can still simulate it in Arma though. That's something. Maybe I need to get into base jumping? Or, even wingsuit cliff jumping? Or, maybe even wingsuit cliff jumping from the mountains of Afghanistan while TB soldiers shoot at me again. For the thrills, lmfao. Naw, too much effort. I'll just play Arma, DCS, and get laid. Far more practical anyway. Maybe I could be a racecar driver? Or an astronaut? Those sound exciting.

[@etloing5016]

The lingo, bang on. Planning, bang on. The deconflicting of issues on site, bang on. It's fucking awesome. This is picture perfect airborne ops dude. Well done to you and your contributors. Made me feel like I was back in the 82nd

[@randomname2805]

Far better planning and execution than the VDV at Hostomel

[@OkenWS]

My thoughts exactly... these guys probably wouldn't have lost the war on Day 0.

[@FleetZ]

The defending troop in the vid don’t have 2s7 , d30s, tractors to block the runway or a brave su24 pilot so 🤔

Well done all! Everything I trained for IRL and never got to do. It looked great

[@GodOfWar221]

You know, I find I have to keep reminding myself. That the hostiles you're going up against, aren't AI. But living players whom are constantly trying to maneuver on your positions, outflank you, and actively trying to stop your assault. Adds a level of immersion that is just unmatched when it comes to these ArmA videos! Kudos Karmakut!!

Not sure if paradrop exactly at the airfield runway is authentic. Replace AI with humans and it would end up masacre probably. I wound understand landing helos or even plane after hard SEAD and CAS but first minute looked like potential failure with KIA irl

Amazing editing. The filtered movie style credits showing the player characters in candid stills plus the credits music added a lot of polish to the great gameplay.

[@ethanburnett6696]

Authentic is a push... no Para-Drop would be undertaken directly on top of an enemy position - it leaves very little time between a solider landing for them to regroup, arm up and prepare themselves, it splits a unit into individuals and gives the defenders a very easy target. Realistic drops would be undertaken a few clicks out of the objective, troops would group up into relevant formations and then commence an attack

that moment when some group of gamers can conduct a operation more accurately than the whole VDV

[@BertrobYT]

pretty good coms maybe a couple issues with the 9-lines and correct verbiage on the ISR side and big a no no i saw a shot where "Reaper" was lasing and waiting for splash and another asset flew through the FOV while also conducting a strike, this is on the JTAC. Shooting platform is normally lowest in the stack or JTAC needs to deconflict assets so that doesn't happen, could've been a fratricide incident or ineffective result on target. but pretty damn good OP id say.

What do you use to make your animations with the map? I’m so curious!

[@isaacwest]

Nice to larp this. But honestly, this doctrine is so out of date even the US didn't attempt it after grenada decades ago. In the meantime airbourne, air assault and airmobile have been decked out with small light tactical mobility vehicles because everyone and their mother can afford a black market igla that'll waste an entire c130 loaded with troops on approach to a drop. Could've tried something like the vdv did at hostomel for some realism. Spreading forces out over a multitude of insertiom vehicles might get you a higher percentage of forces ariving near or on the intended objective in an enviroment where anti air missiles are a threat. But as history showed us, that wasn't the greatest of ideas either against a motivated and determined defender.
