[@kevinkocher9347]

@@ControlledPairsGaming There were cases where false wells were used to hide cell leaders in Iraq and Afghanistan. At one point a unit was cleared during the search and clear operations in Afghanistan wear cleared to start throwing grenades down the wells because insurgents had made bunkers out of them by shooting from them then hide in the well.

@@ControlledPairsGaming a classic maneuver used by the ancient Koreans

[@abuyousef6224]

First, a curious design quirk you can make use of. If you crouch, enemies can't engage your operators over cover and vice versa. It's one hack to get your operators to hold fire and not shoot unaware enemies in the back while you're still getting into position. Your operators will also not shoot if they are crouched while moving. This is a fun map for excessive grab'em by the belt buckle tactics. Half the team can cover the east and west side of the first building while the others dash towards the northern wall where they are relatively safe as any counter-attacking defenders are cut down if they leave the building or circle around it. From there you can blast a hole into the northern storage room and quickly overwhelm any defenders still in the building. Of course, we assume the intel on the hostage position and room layout is as definitive as the game suggests.

[@ControlledPairsGaming]

Great layout for illustrating the fundamentals, for sure. That flanking route is pretty convenient, though.

[@Ember6A]

Pro Tip: cycle your soldiers through your replays so eventually they all have solid skills.

[@ControlledPairsGaming]

True.

[@Crxcket]

I didn't really like it tbh. It was cooler if every soldier you choose was unique. Eventually they're all identical when you put the time to spade them.

Doesn't really matter because your guys respawn. You could just use the same guys everytime and build a core group super quick.

Great video as always! Just wanted to give you a heads up, the next level was very tough for me. Some enemies are armed with SR3-M assault rifles firing AP ammo. These absolutely annihilated any of my guys that took hits, killing them in 1-3 shots. Combined with their fairly fast acquisition time, they were incredibly deadly. Not sure if this is intended behavior, but it took me quite a few tries to complete the mission. Good luck!

[@Dr_Cannibalism]

Hmm, seems kind of pointless having marksmen in game if the basic assault class is able to hit cross compound targets reliably. Perhaps they become more viable late game when the enemy types (presumably and based off Door Kickers 1) become more difficult and more heavily armoured? If not, maybe they should've gone with a breacher class instead and make certain weapons/equipment primarily available to them. Really enjoying the series though, man. Definitely earned yourself a new subscriber from me.
