copy that.

I do not know yet if I have to work. if not, it would be an honor to be AR, MG or 2. MEDIC in your squad. I'll let you know as soon as I know that.

if skirmisher wants to take 2. Medic, I take AR, if he would prefer AR I take medic;) everything else is ok too ... except for grenadier.

I'm guessing the aim isn't to engage any enemies but to destroy enemy assets. You know boring spy shit. I'm guessing SL, Medic, Engineer/Breacher and riflemen for supplies. But heck count me in! 

Yeah but it doesn't have to be chaotic. If you create two small recon squads that avoid enemy contacts and take out the Milan's and Quad cannon you're already at the the city entrance. Then if those squads lay mines on the roads the heavy Opfor assets take you'll slow them down at least and open up room for heavy assets to push up together with cleverly and well armed infantry units that have been waiting with a super-FOB in front of entrance. As long as infantry and recon squads push forward with the heavy assets in a support function you'll clear the map towards the objective with massive urban fights but still. However. How to organize that on COOP? 

If possible I'd like to play this evening with 2 Recon Squads taking point, 1 anti-tank squad including Spandrel (driver, medic, HAT), 1 tank squad for fire support behind INF, 1 APC squad for fire support behind INF, 2 INF fully prepared squads and perhaps an AA squad and a Trans and/or CAS squad. However I have yet to discover how to get the latter to be functional. 

Ideas? 

The map is cool but a true 'hack and slash' where, I think, basically you need to play either extremely organised and strategical (i.e. 2 small recon squads that take out the Milan's/Quad cannon/AA/Mortars or what not) and lay mines at key points prior to Armor and INF advancing) or just forget about armor and play "hack and slash" with INF with as many Engineers and LAT/HAT kits and riflemen to resupply and medics to revive. 

Recon:

1.) SL

2.) Engineer/Breacher

3.) Rifleman

4.) Medic

5.) AR

OR

INF:

1.) SL/Medic

2.) Machine-Gunner

3.) AR

4.) Medic

5.) Engineer

6.) HAT

7.) LAT

8.) Rifleman 

And everyone that dies spawns as a Rifleman. I'd like to play this map (and perhaps other hard maps) a few times as an event with a proper agreed strategy in place. 

I had a similar problem where the game would crash so often to the point I was about to throw my whole rig out the window. Didn't have any other problems with any other program. What I ended up doing is download the latest copy of PR, uninstall PR, delete the remaining PR folders in Windows Explorer and re-install the entire game. Unfortunately that didn't work either. So I went for the most drastic of measures... I backed-up all my files and did an entire fresh install of Windows 7.  Re-installed all my 'must have' programs including PR and it worked, flawless. Faster than ever. So yeah... This fixed the problem for me. Bit drastic, I agree. but it worked.

I still don't know what the underlying issue was though. 

Actually weird question. Is it also possible to host a PvP event on the servers? Like geographically, meaning  where you live? So say Eastern versus Western world which would mean I'd play with the East because I live there and play against say, everyone that lives in the western hemisphere? 

I'm fairly sure we have enough Russian, Polish, Asian players to go against the Americans, Germans and Brits. Perhaps even on a 40-40 type event. Say 4 maps. Something like that and recreating a defensive and later assualt situation? 

I'm just thinking aloud here.

I'm always game for an Opfor event. It's cool to play with different tactics and weapons.

the flag you can see is the cap point most of the time thay are under ground so u cant see them

I would prefer them to be above ground. It's kinda cool. 

I can't remember where but there are also a bunch (Grozny?) where if you're in the building you can see the flag rise in the stairways. Pretty cool. 

I mean I'm not complaining if it works but COME ON!

Anyhoo.

Well if you don't mind about legality, you can always get LTSB from the high seas...

I've been looking into that. So effectively you need a 'code' so any IT managers with spare codes? I have 3 hard-drives waiting for an install that works.

a win7 installation is pretty easy. you just need to have a dvd, a usb-stick or a network installation of win7 and start the computer with it. then you come into a few menus where you can set language, network and time zones.
the rest actually goes by itself. if you've never done that, it's worth getting someone to help you or watching a few videos.

if all goes well win7 is installed in one hour. if there are problems, it can cost you a whole day and a lot of nerves.

Nope it isn't. I have found 4 DVD's with Win7, XP etc. in my old shoe box and none of them install. I'm going to try to see if I can install Ubuntu next. I mean I have 2 other hard-drives. What can go wrong? 

I mean I'm not complaining if it works but COME ON!

Grab a 16 GB+ usb drive create a bootable windows 7 installed on it 

for example like this

https://www.poweriso.com/tutorials/how-to-make-win7-bootable-usb-drive.htm

 

Windows 10 sucks but I am quite sure you can run your multi boot on it. And I am also sure you can install the same stuff as on windows 7

Thanks, and nope. Not even installing the traditional Skype installation, it's all through the 'App store' apparently. And it's really ticking me off.  I can't even launch Ubuntu which I have as a back-up OS. It's irritating. 

Also - where can you buy Windows 7 nowadays. I mean this whole thing started when I upgraded to 10. 

Mkay... My PC/Heater isn't working according to expectations. Main issue isn't the hardware performance. It's the software, more openly said the Windows 10 software. I'm not sure how but it seems they've created a 'walled garden' in this update which effectively means I cannot install anything outside of the MS Shop (not even the Skype thingy)  meaning I can't get UBuntu to launch if I want to or basically anything I want to do with my PC outside the scope of Microsoft, so it's revert to Win7 I guess. But does anyone know how to do that?

It basically seems like Microsoft does an Apple 2.0 and effectively controls what I can or cannot use. Not cool.

There ya go. Welcome back brother!!

You coming online in a bit brother? I'm just updating the bunch so I'll be online in about now...

W00t! I'm back baby! And she's so silent... It's kinda creepy... 

Well at least we will have some decent fire power. I call dibs on T-62. If my PC can be picked up today. 

Most servers appear to be empty roughly around these hours. The US should wake up in a few hours and Europe and Russia will come back from work/school so then it should fill up for the next 12 hours or so. 

I have some spare PC parts that I can donate. Some new, some slightly heavily abused for roughly 8 years. 

And there's this article which kinda makes sense: https://taskandpurpose.com/marines-m27-infantry-automatic-rifle/

Hello all, just read an interesting article (here: http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/the-us-marine-corps-hopes-equip-its-troops-rifle-21952) that the USMC is planning to adopt this rifle. 

But I have some major questions around that considering it was designed to replace the SAW and only has a 30 round box and effectively is only a tougher version of the HK416. Good rifle for sure but can it also replace a M249 SAW, which I understand they are planning to do in a 4-man fire-squad? I highly doubt it...  

For those who don't know what rifle it is here's the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M27_Infantry_Automatic_Rifle 

I do think it's much more of a battle rifle than any other rifles currently in use, but I've always seen a more balanced crew as better equipped than simply providing these type of rifles to all persons. That, or they simply want to just replace the M4 and keep the M249 SAW. 

Not sure, it isn't clear to me. Anyone that can shed some light on this? It's a mean gun though according to the specs.

Well I have to fix few buildings in the INF navmesh and I have to check if the meshes don’t crash the game so I hope by the end of the week. 

No hard testing will be needed once they are ready they will be ported to official PR to be applied in the next update. 

Oh I just thought we could setup the VG event server and play a few rounds there to see if all is working and mostly just for fun. That's possible right? We could download the maps just like with other events? Or am I missing something here? 

Looks cool but when is it ready for testing? It will hopefully coincide with me getting my PC back. Apparently sending it for repairs takes forever as well.

And I was the guy missing the point... 

Keep going with the funny side it would be better for everybody.

The best spanish mass destruction weapon of all times.

It's funny because it's true

Oh and Martin. In case you're wondering I do find your rant about the Amazon inappropriate as you live in the Canary Islands - a place devastated by humans - when someone from Brazil is informing us on a home-grown submachine gun and someone from Indonesia is commenting about their own home-grown submachine gun in Indonesia that is apperantly only issued to Forest Guards. And then someone (me) finding that quite funny. What even possessed you to comment? And so incorrectly?  It's totally off-topic and useless and moreover based on simplistic assumptions. I mean come on. Then just say something about Spanish weapons. 

Peace man...

Well Jersans, when soldiers are dying in the fight to protect the rain forest of the Amazon against illegal loggers whose only objective is to reduce the forest to ashes for money, maybe is better show a little more respect for  all them and the hard work that they are doing for us and the mother nature.

My two cents.

Well Martin I don't see what prompted you to even bother commenting. I was clearly viewing it as humorous that a forest guard (in Dutch 'boswachter') 

would be armed in Indonesia (which is nowhere near the Amazon btw) with a submachine gun, a dark humor, perhaps, because evidently Indonesia has issues with poachers, deforestation etc. 

But the giggle was obviously to most I would hope about a 'western' 'boswachter' and them being issued with submachine guns the army doesn't want - albeit I have since learned some Kopassa special forces do use them. 

I guess what I want to say is lighten-up dude. If you need clarification about intention, just ask. Don't jump to conclusions you cannot possibly justify. 

Peace man...
