lexota Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 For standard rifleman or machinegunner, is the loadout prefixed? I've played EU3 before but never on a gamenight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryko Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I believe the way the Colliers like to set it up is with preset loadouts, but with crates nearby to tailor your loadout. No virtual arsenal, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reidy Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Might sign up to pilot, if you'll tell me which aircraft are gonna be used? I might practice a bit first. Mainly the Mi-8 as a transport/MEDEVAC, however there is also a Mi-24 for support if the situation calls for it. Tylermaniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylermaniac Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 @Ryko "I dont care" added to 2 and 3 @Lexota As Ryko said, this time it will be fixed loadouts with options to change your backpack, add more ammo, grenades etc. However, appearance and main gun will be locked to correctly balance the mission lexota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colsta Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 What does the Fire Support Team contain? If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say fixed weapons. MG, Mortars, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraggloid Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Mission will be locked to first-person only WWHHHYYYYYY?! if I don't get a pilot/gunner/crewman style slot I'll most likely not be taking part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryko Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks to the Colliers and all the staff who helped, for putting this one on, and I'm sorry I couldn't play for longer but internet decided to go into the crapper. A few takeaway lessons here: 1) I have absolutely nothing against the Command element here, I think they did a great job - but ultimately I think for game night we should be aiming at missions where "High Command" has already come up with the mission orders and plan of attack, so we can skip the planning and organization stage of the mission. No one likes the 30 min waiting around for things to get going, least of all Command. 2) I don't think the CASEVAC concept is working, because people die too quickly, before CASEVAC can do anything about it. I think just a dedicated air wing for transport and support is probably the way to go. 3) If we have BTRs in base, I say we use them. - R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colsta Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 2) I don't think the CASEVAC concept is working, because people die too quickly, before CASEVAC can do anything about it. I think just a dedicated air wing for transport and support is probably the way to go. This was discussed extensively in the aftermath. As I said there, I believe it only works with the old revive system we had in place. I support that system only, and ONLY in game nights where we HAVE a CASEVAC/MEDEVAC team. As an example, Icy's game night, where it first got implemented and tested, and where the MEDEVAC team was protected by conventions. That was probably the most fun I've ever had as a medic ever. And I like playing medic. Keep in mind we were a three man team with no defined roles, however. The MEDEVAC leader flew that night because it was decided in such a way, while myself and the other medic rolled around in a medical M113, unlike the CASEVAC team that has defined pilot roles and such. 3) If we have BTRs in base, I say we use them. I sat on top of one waiting for stuff to happen. Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkullCollector Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The mission was absolutely enjoyable, although I, for one, could see a minor caveat that might have contributed to the clusterfuck after a while. I didn't think about it beforehand, yet when I had to assume Boris lead from my Boris 2 TL position, it felt a bit overwhelming and impractical to assign SL to a TL by default, as you did with Anna and Boris 1. Obviously this was my maiden voyage as SL, so take this with a grain of salt, but I prefer the separate command elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
