You mean an Igla?  I hope you aren't shooting down NATO gunships with NATO MANPADS, otherwise your teammates are going to hate you something fierce.

My bad, haven't played Pact that much^^

The gamemodes where you can play NATO vs NATO or Pact vs Pact are sadly overlooked.

ALB: Another game, another loss, this was a 2v2 with all computer opponents. but this one I played till the end until a minor defeat. Still don't have the guts to charge past the AI, but sitting back in support isn't good either. And I didn't like my aircraft choices (if Etendards and Sabres weren't already irritating, killing all my reinforcements)...

The last stand right before the defeat screen came up was fun at least... I parked one (no-rank?) Malyutka vehicle in the burning forest and it soars to Elite from out of nowhere :lol: backed up with two Afghanskiis and supply trucks... Anything that charged through the road (and some infantry in VAB's tried to flank from the forest) all got gunned down fast...

It's not safe to park vehicles in city areas, is it?  :banghead: at least the ****ty T-34 and !one! Konkurs infantry (the second guy just... died) racked up way more their buying score before they both died. I wish I could say the same for helicopters, I am horrible with them  :banghead:

That I can get, no doubt. (somewhere in my brain is nagging at me "dude, it's common sense! find some other task for your ****ty tanks dammit!  :banghead:")

What if the enemy is charging in to the city from outside and I have tanks supporting infantry there? Still no good? Better to get them to draw fire moving in reverse? (Which I tried, lasted for a while until the artillery came down or some plane flew over and dropped a bomb)  :banghead:

And I don't know how else I can make use of all the empty non-supply trucks after unloading them. Using them to draw fire (and my first attempts at smoke) they don't last more than half a second...

Empty transport trucks can be used as expendable scouts, or can still be used in a transport capacity. If they're just regular unarmed trucks, your options are pretty limited.

I try to keep them with my infantry in case I need to move them again, but usually I don't. I guess it's sort of a thing to use them as suicide scouts. Wish the game didn't encourage that.

Usually if your infantry has garrisoned buildis, the enemy has a tough time clearing them, involvin napalm, Smoke and 1000pound bombs as well as infantry.
This may cost him a plane or two and if he's dumb enough to sent tanks along, lucky you.
My tanks usually park in scrubs ad wood and wait for the enemy to circle around the city, while AA take care of strikecraft flyig oer the city^^

I typically chain order my dedicated transports to move to their deployment positions, drop their infantry then return to some out of the way position behind the lines so they don't feed points to OpFor.  From a best gameplay perspective you can use them to bait ATGMs before you push with your AFVs, however, I tend to think I'd be pissing off a lot of families back home if I was trading deuce and a half drivers for Konkurs.

Seriously, that **** would be a scandal on the news.

Optimally I wish Eugene allowed us to "recycle" useless transports back for more RP.

Or send them to a FOB and convert them to supply vehicles.

On another note, the people of #bp heard my antics on this, but if you build an Airborne deck, you're going to really, really miss having heavy AA and tanks.  MANPADS just don't cut it.  And the USSR doesn't have many helo-mounted AA missiles.  The Ka-50 and 52 are the only ones that carry them.  Some Polish helos like the Sokol do, but then you can't take the Ka-50 and 52, and good gods those two are ridiculously good.


Also, I've found that 10v10 games are a very good way to get better at playing without needing to worry about being a liability to your team.

No, he's just wishing we could. It'd be an interesting solution.

I really like some of the maps added in the last update, but I can't play the game for more than 30 minutes or so before the game crashes. :(

What kind of ships are ingame?
Since Udaloys are iname as command ships, what about Kirow and Slawas?

I doubt those will be ingame. The biggest ships we get are destroyers, I'm pretty sure. And we're still waiting on any naval maps in the open beta, though there are a few youtube videos out with naval gameplay if you want to take a look.

Fair enough...
I'm currently watching videos, but given the Kirow is a battlecruiser and the Slava Cruiser...ok.
