I played in Badploy's squad yesterday what a hoot and we all had a lot of fun! cheers, Kav

We've already discussed this idea in a previous post: http://veterans-gaming.com/index.php?/forums/topic/7798-about-the-brdm-vehicle-rules/#comment-76020 Not too many people were that interested unfortunately. Perhaps its time? cheers, Kav

Melon's Final Revent pw; event
=VG= Kavelenko replied to =VG= Melon Muncher's topic in PR Cooperative
Hey Melon, Is the event date correct? Should it be the Sat 11th for the UK and Europe and Sun 12th for us Aussies? -
Yeah thanks @Melon that was a lot of fun. We had a mumble malfunction which really screwed up the comms on IronRidge but the Beirut map was fantastic, that bridge making turned out to be rather difficult but the guys did a great job, Pity we didnt cap all the flags but we got close, Karbala and Bamyam were a bit too short, in hind sight perhaps more tickets for the Bots would have been better. But once again team work by all squads and commanders was excellent!
-
That's a great idea Jersans. I'd love it if someone got footage of the Beirut map especially, that part where we have to span the broken sections of the bridge with support bridges it will be hilarious. Double reckons its easy but I dont agree, took me an hour to put up two bridges and I lost at least four Logi's and two tanks attempting it...lol.
-
You wish!...haha. I'll see that maybe and raise you a wannabe. He told me yesterday that he's definitely playing for Alpha Group.
-
Sorry Teejay but Stark58 has already signed up with Alpha Group. Kav
-
We had four infantry squads don't forget Blazer's squad, and there was still 6 places left on the server to create a six man team.
-
Is this something different to Melon's Event 2 or included?
-
Alpha Group is ready to deploy to any destination, thanks Melon. Officer Kit - Kavelenko Medic 1 - Daniel_75 Medic 2 - JohnnyTightLips Breacher Kit - Stark58 Automatic Rifleman - deathdealer203 Lite Anti Tank Kit (LAT) - =VG= Eclipse002 Grenadier Kit - Vamsley Heavy Machine Gunner (HMG) - ArchTop Alpha Group will accept randoms on the day of the event if any of our players are unable to attend.

Hey Captn that was awesome footage, I wasn't aware that you were videoing our squad, maybe if I'd known I'd have shut up a bit more...lol. Really good view for other squads who were involved with that game but on different assignments. Blazer's squad did a great job helping us to defend the FOB on Lashkar Valley too. Looking at the final Barracuda Map stats map, check out the total number of deaths for the team, very good KD. This event really was a lot of fun for everyone and I think it was a great thing to see the absolute team work that can be achieved when every squad is committed to a plan. Competition is one thing but team work is very satisfying. Would love to see footage of the first map if you have it just to show how disorganized we were but I don't wish to embarrass or blame anyone. Alpha Group members did everything I asked of them and more, thanks guys I'd run with you all again!
-
Haha how embarrassing with this be?!! I hope you got footage of the first map that was a complete F&*% Up..lol. We got better as the games went on.
-
Its not too late to join Teejay check with Blazer
-
I was talking to Cst.Yang on the VG server, just now and he's interested in joining Melon's Event. Amazingly he didn't know about it, and he's a handy pilot too.

Hi Commander TEDF,
I've read your battleplans for Lashkar Valley and Ramiel, and advised my squad to read it and commit to memory.
If you have any more details to pass on to me, as per your post, I'd be grateful to receive that.
I've done a bit of recon on all maps, and was wondering about how the Chinook is going to take off and land if the Lashkar FOB is under a major attack.
Flying back to the FOB in the Chinook I felt a bit vulnerable coming into the FOB directly from the N - NW.
I'm sure you've probably taken this into consideration but we may need to give the all clear before they come back to the English FOB.
Otherwise I have nothing to add at the moment. Will brief the guys and pass on any relevant feedback.
My email address if you wish to send an attachment is: sea_eagle@chariot.net.au
cheers,
Kav

Best route in my opinion would be to go hard left from the FOB and up the valley, hug the left side of the map and shield themselves with the mountains.
-
Area around the main is completely open so it's super easy for the Pilot to spot if the area is full of little moving dots when coming in. From what I can tell, the bots seem to be only interested in NE / E side of the base and don't go other ways, giving the pilot a perfect little mountain corridor from NW side to use for rapid take offs / landings. The idea is for the pilot to take- and fly off as quickly as possible. Going directly towards West means that he would have to climb the mountains over there and If he is to remain to gain altitude over the main, then there's a high chance that he'll get shot down since AI has around 99,9% accuracy against choppers that are less than 200m off the ground.
At the beginning of the deployment we do not have the time / luxury to have defensive squad set up prior to take off. Deployment of Hater's and Double's squads must be done quickly and without any delay.
Since there aren't any other vehicles on our team, we can use the AI mechanics to our advantace, meaning that the pilot has around 4-5 seconds to land / take off before any of the RPG guys become a threat. After the initial deployment, it is up to the Pilot to keep the bird safe using whatever means are neccecary.
There are many loopholes that are done / left on purpose in the plan to keep the map interesting. If we wanted to have a boring easy-win round then all we would have to do is to deploy everyone in the main, poke the guns out of the bunkers and pew-pew-pew for the next hour or so. My main idea was to set up different checkpoints and FOBs on / around other flags and then, depending on the situation, maybe simulate the evacuation of the FOB base so the bots can take it and progress on to other flags.

Sorry TEDF I didn't mean to say turn left into the mountain but was looking at the valley corridor to the NW off the FOB, which is the same one your path uses on your map, the only difference is that I would be hugging the left side of the map once I got through that valley. So yes I agree the first few minutes should be safe but I was looking at the return journey and subsequent flights in and out of the FOB. Depending on how many bots are attacking the base at any time, it would be pertinent to keep the communications up as to whether it was safe enough to land. As you say its going to be critical for Double and Hater to establish FOBS, and not lose the Chinook early. Looking forward to those maps, at least you have a battle plan which is excellent!
-
Thanks for confirming that guys. I set two extra clocks just in case...lol.

EVENT DATE : Friday the 13th at 2100 GMT/PRT (or 9pm GMT) Just checking my time-zone guys, and discovered a potential problem. If this event is planned for 2100 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), that means its 2100 or 9:00pm in England. The VG server is based in Germany so does that mean we add another hour if a player lives in Germany? If that's correct then I don't need to join the server until the next day at 7:30AM on the 14th because I'm in Australia. Anyone care to confirm or disagree?
-
There's over 33 players who've racked up 1 million points on the VG server, where are the other squads?
-
There's a full squad right there! Pick another random and they have the makings of a great squad, Stark58 is the highest points scorer on the VG server, Teejay and SoldierOfMisfortune also great squad leads. As TEDF suggested we should be inviting new players to our squads and not unfairly overloading squads with just the "Elite" guys. So I've got a few guys such as ArchTop and Eclipse002 who I've never played PR with. BrokenArrow and Daniel75 are my buddies and the rest are from VG since I've been here. Do we know how many INF squads are required on each map? 2-3 squads sounds a bit lite to me.

Alpha Group Kavelenko [SL] InchPincherToo cptn_wonderful Brokenarrow =VG= Eclipse002 ArchTop Daniel75 RotBlut (replace with random when flying)
-
Good to see Xenalite and Soggy locked in. Just to update on where I'm at with the other squad: InchPincherToo Rotblut - on maps he's not flying cptn_wonderful I'm waiting to hear back from Faraday and Tom Sawyer, and several others. Can we name our squad: Alpha Group please?
-
One RPG and the Chinook is toast. I bet it happens.
-
I won with my bot team on Lashkar Valley.

You can learn a lot about the game by playing under different squad leaders, evaluating what you like and do not like and then doing you're own version or incorporating their ideas and strategies. To a certain degree we are all influenced by what we experience so playing in successful squads can improve your own game. Coming from a PR server with different settings and slightly different rules, I've had to adapt because those two factors affect the way the game can be played. So yes, I agree with Double its never too late to learn from other SL's no matter how good you think you are.
-
I agree TEDF in fact I'm happy to lead a squad of new players if needed. Already its looking like we're going to get more than 8 players so if you want to join infantry either post here or message me. Lets get a complete list of players who need a squad to join. Please post your in game player name and preferred kit, - no snipers please. Perhaps WCCBadploy will run a recon squad for sniper fans?? I'm sure others will want to lead and create their own squads and that's fine but my post is more about providing a squad for those who may not be able to find one. I'd love to run in Hater's squad because he's a ball tearing no nonsense squaddie, but its looking likely that we'll split into separate teams.
