You’re absolutely right! I struggled with this mission more times then i’d like to admit. After setting spacing as wide as possible and charging the objective it got much, much easier.
In the movie “We Were Soldiers”, broken arrow calls all available air assets for CAS - a SHTF situation. I’m guessing that’s what they were referring to.
Might be also referrence to Able Archer, Able Archer '83 specifically, a NATO exercise that looked so well, Soviet command thought it was genuine preparation to start WW3.
That's not what it means now. Now, it simply refers to an OP that's being overrun. When they call out "broken arrow", they're basically calling in Artie on their own position.
In addition to needing to spread your force out a bit more when under air attack, you should also have adjusted your heading so that your unit was moving diagonally towards that low ground off to your right at around 3:30ish. Or you could have turned around and moved towards the oncoming aircraft at an angle and presented them with a less favorable angle of attack and limited their time to line up on you more. Things to remember in future ; limit incoming aircraft time to line up for their attack as much as you can, make their angle of attack as unfavorable as you can. Also do you know if you can shoot down CAS aircraft yet in game?
I think MBT vs helo is overpowered. I completed the mission in the 2nd run with a total of 5 AP hits against two different helos AFTER they were already hit by MBT AP. Before I could get into a new firing position the MBT platoons wiped out the remaining NATO forces from a distance.
I hope you enjoyed this short april fools campaign! Shout out the dev team for making an awesome series for us to enjoy! There's a minor update for GHPC for April. You check out my latest update video here th-cam.com/video/BdmIMHNvjUM/w-d-xo.html
that mission is real hell - way to strong CAS, without beeing able to shoot at the Phantoms, Hydra-Helos are managable, but the two in the back with the hellfires are kicking ass.
Wtf were the m1 tanks doing? Looks good, but unrealistic. In open, no alt positions, not hull down, no mutual support. The warsaw pact force would have been slaughtered in reality. Also no arty support on either party. Also US air support would be A10. 27 years service here, sorry for being critical, but I lived and breathed this stuff for real
It's a work-in-progress game. The recording of that time has aged some time now. CAS and artillery has been added now. The AI, A-10s, infantry and all sorts of things we expect should be coming soon.

This is the mission that drives home why wide platoon spacing matters

I love the bmp2 / bmp1p
I admit I have a soft spot for BMPs as well.
Broken arrow is suposedly the code used for a lost nuclear weapon in the US military. There was even a movie with it in the mid to late 90's.
In the movie “We Were Soldiers”, broken arrow calls all available air assets for CAS - a SHTF situation. I’m guessing that’s what they were referring to.
@@preserveourpbfs7128 I saw that movie as well.
Both meanings are correct.

I could not complete this mission for nothing haha. Alway nice to see somebody do it like a pro.

Thank you. It’s a shame that buildings aren’t destroyable but I suppose that might be possible in future updates.

Is it not possible to shoot down the jets?
@@onsholo I tried that several times. Seems like F-4 Phantoms are Not getting any scratches from my 30mm HE
Nope. No damage models for jets yet.
They have TOW's, that's why you have a better chance of shooting them down when they fire it. God help us when they bring in Apaches
this is my dream game. I cannot wait for final release
That why Armored company need SHORAD and SPGAA support
Visial effects are much better than squad
This is what happens when you do not invite Hoenecker to the Party

To make NATO unfunny and destroy em you should call yourself Van Darkfantasy
What is the point of stone walls if you can drive through them like nothing?
You have a nice voice
It’s just sad that the game crash just after I’ve started the mission… :/
Have you tried verifying your game on steam?
@@PhanPhantasy yes but it change nothing :(
East germany it seems like

Why do you bring 0 AA in a battle with CAS???? You are just make life harder for yourself...
There's no AA elements yet in GHPC. Chill bro.
