I know it was done for balance reasons, but in my head cannon I will assume that the reason the US didn't start with CAS is that BlackJackel just had a really hard time refueling and the Hercs beat them to the airfield by 20 minutes.
You should probably use Target Light rather than Target against that single enemy infantrymen as you mentioned. I noticed that when using Target command, pixeltruppen will often use any support weapons they carry as well such as PF or Pzsch in WW2 games. Target Light will tend to restrict the use only to small arms fire.
As an infantry man currently sitting underneath a big blue circle, I cannot begin to tell you how much I think this is a terrible idea... Edit 😂 lol. So conflicted. Thought I was doing amazingly well, turns out I was completely useless. But on the plus side, turns out I am also not under a big blue circle!
So much comedy in this one. Dragon to the face at 200? Don't mind if I do. All the LAWs at a BTR70 and not among them? Why not! Last minute Dragon to the armour in the rear? Why yes, of course. Decided that you want to join the Marines and die running out to sea, check. "Trust the Airforce to not bomb us?" ROFLMAO! But what takes the absolute cake is saying "he knows the Anti Tank Jeeps are there" and in the next breath commenting that he has 120mm mortars and endless ammo, and never putting two and two together coz them Mortars are gonna kill the dudes in the TOW Jeeps. Sadly I am one of them....
That Jeep/BTR situation is one of the big issues I have had with this game. Clear LOS, nothing to block or hinder, just feet away and...nothing! How do you not see the giant AFV right in front of you!?
Reminds me of a Vietnam movie " want to spend a million dollars?" They called in a full arty strike on a vacant hill top. Mallary did similar with his dragon. Have to wonder, did he ask permission or just let it fly? I was holding my breath with the BTR on the hill, kept expecting it to wrack up kills for the reds, not help blue kill score.
That high ground is going to be a tempting target for saturation bombing my the mortars. You may lose a lot of jeeps and TOWs (just my thoughts and I may be proved wrong)
It is. But the jeeps are at least mobile and can get out of dodge if necessary. It's also a deceptively large area, so it would require all 6 enemy mortars to effectively cover and then they're not hitting somewhere else.
IIRC he is the team leader for Duck's squad in 3 Platoon, which means he is currently on a rooftop with 3 Badgers in a Trenchcoat and the 3 Platoon Dragon.
Сдаться в плен после зрелища, как одна половина взвода погибла, а другая - бежала,бросив его - "плохой жизненный выбор" по мнению автора? Ха-ха. Посмотрел бы я на этого смельчака, окажись он в подобной ситуации. Экипаж БТР, отправившийся в свой последний путь и разрядивший в себя половину противотанковых средств американцев, заслуживает по меньшей мере медалей за отвагу!
"he said he identified as an MBT, who was I to question that. i just responded appropriately."
The Chad invisible armored Jeep vs. the Virgin blind BTR
Of course the one time the Dragons land a direct hit first try its on a single infantryman lol
Don’t worry, I’ve included that in my summary 😂

I love that we're basically calling broken arrow before even seeing the main enemy attack. (Combat Mission things)
"It seemed justfied at the time sir..."
'a metric ton of soviet armor' is actually probably not very much, in terms of soviet armor
Thereis a suspicious lack of Mortars from REDFOR
Queue preparatory bombardment and the ensuing red armor?
@2:23 you can actually hear the exact moment every muscle in Hapless’ body relaxes 😂
I know it was done for balance reasons, but in my head cannon I will assume that the reason the US didn't start with CAS is that BlackJackel just had a really hard time refueling and the Hercs beat them to the airfield by 20 minutes.
I think narratively, the MiGs turned up and the AA fight delayed the CAS Phantoms, but yeah what you describe sounds like the average SNAFU
Ventura: "FIX BAYONETS, but be _sure_ that the mortars shells have all landed"

"Screw that one guy in particular". The dragon operator, probably.

Yeah, sorry. It's a lot harder keeping track of people when they're not named in the interface!

8:20 zero fucking chill.
Well, you know... target serviced
@@usuallyhapless9481 I certainly was lmao
praised be the abysmal BTR vision driving past Jeeps

CM is janky like that. I've experienced infantry running past each other in Red Thunder...
The same reason people get hit by cars they never saw coming.
Reminds me of a Vietnam movie " want to spend a million dollars?" They called in a full arty strike on a vacant hill top. Mallary did similar with his dragon. Have to wonder, did he ask permission or just let it fly?

Bet the vague missle icon is handheld SAM
That's a good shout
Overkill is highly underrated 😂
Dorchester armoured jeeps and wandering trucks last turn, disproportionate response (Dragon vs individual) this turn - its all happening.
No kill like overkill!

Could you tell me where Wiley Zeta is located? I'm concerned I may by sitting in a large blue circle.
IIRC he is the team leader for Duck's squad in 3 Platoon, which means he is currently on a rooftop with 3 Badgers in a Trenchcoat and the 3 Platoon Dragon.
@ Thank you, Hapless :)
What a nice man.
The word "Overkill" is NOT in Malary's dictionary
