The lone survivor moments are the best. I was the last man standing in a 6 hour op. Had burned through my M4, 2 AKs and a PKM. At the end I was running a Glock 17, pretty much screaming at command for backup. Had to take out an Anti-Air all by myself with two RPG-18s and luck beyond belief. At the debrief I was shaking and I couldn't fall asleep when all was said and done. The most terrifying thing isn't the game, it's the fact that everyone is watching you. Everything hangs on you.

I’m a navy and fighter jet person, but this was insanely good. I need a movie of this, that “yup” from the enemy was terrifying. And the objective, ‘survive’ CHILLS. Not receiving a response from any platoon members who you were previously chatting with and laughing with is bone-chilling. And THEN after getting shot by your own helicopter do you finally hear a teammate trying to contact you as you slowly go into the light. Can’t imagine having the nerve to do this in real life

@@user-oz5wt5jk9y they weren't fully supported, and the Taliban already knew they would be there

[@user-oz5wt5jk9y]

@Mario Formicadae cope, they were fully supported as it was a planned operation alongside supporting units. The seals themselves waved off CAS and denied any support on station before mission start. Then their MBITER broke and they physically couldn't make a call for support. Not that they didn't have it, they just thought they were tough shit. They also misjudged how close their infil was, and had no medevec plan in place. The entire thing was botched from beginning to end. Also the dude wasn't "taliban" lmfao, he was just a local warlord. The dudes he had with him were like 70 years old, and they heard the helicopter land. He had no advanced warning beyond that, the whole "goat herder" BS is a total fabrication. Beyond that they knew they were gonna wax these dudes and filmed the entire thing from start to finish. Bottom line is the Seals went unprepared and with a bad plan and alot of faith in their "skills" and got ambushed and outfought by 70 year old goat farmers. Who also btw, suffered no casualties lol.

[@OckhamAsylum]

I don't think hyper-realistic military sims are my cup of tea, but seeing people who are all in on them is extremely interesting. The practiced teamwork somehow adds to the tension, maybe because you know they're just doing the best they can like someone in an actual battle would be. Sidenote, the kill at around 10:00 really scared the shit out of me, because it just reminded me of the lethal efficiency of modern warfare. Even the pitch black darkness of night is just something we can turn off with a button, and you'll catch high velocity death when you physically can't even see it coming. Real warfare is just not fair, and the enemy couldn't give less of a shit that you feel that way.
