Hi InchPincherTwo, Just to add to this discussion, I've run a Mechanized Infantry Squad on the Beirut [STD] map using an APC from the Carrier but I asked the APC squad if that was ok with them and which one (single or two man) APC they preferred my squad to use. That particular APC squad was quite ok with but the impression I got was that they weren't too sure themselves about how to handle such a request. I forget who I was talking to about the APC role last night in teamspeak but the subject came up about APC, IFV, and AAVP assets being primarily direct fire vehicles that are supposed to be used to support infantry. As we often see its not uncommon for APC squads to race off from a base with a paired driver and gunner leaving infantry squads at the base to fight over left-over HMVs and small transport vehicles. Having said that I also come across APC squads in the field who are happy to let stranded squads catch a ride in their vehicle, but mostly I see a lot of camped APCs on various strategic hill-side positions racking up the kills. No wonder it takes so long to cap flags sometimes. What is the consensus of opinion among experienced Mechanized Infantry Squad leaders? I'm not complaining about this btw, just hoping to read some opinions of others. cheers, Kav

Its not so straight forward to install these packs. I had to unpack into a folder then copy the levels across to my PR installation due to administrator privileges blocking my attempts to unzip into the PR folder. So its not always easy to do when something like that occurs for non computer geeks. No offense. cheers, Kav

I currently play PR on a beat up laptop that is long overdue for replacement, and I live with the slow login times but I will have my revenge when I update to a new speccy machine next year!!! Kav

Just played three of these on local. All of these maps would be fun initially but the proof is in the playing. Be interesting to see how they play online. Dcon Weapon Bunkers: USMC attacking one MEC Base. Could be over in minutes Mercs Desert Wars : Feels similar to Operation Marlin, mainly infantry and APCs, two transport Helos. Siege at Ochamchira: Infantry map with a couple boats, I liked this one because a lot of the flags could be accessed by sea. Could be fun too. cheers, Kav

I think the CAS and TRANS squad is critical, so just because a person spawns in before everyone else shouldnt mean that they can create a TRANS squad and then spend the next ten minutes learning how to fly the asset. I'm all for people earning a reputation before they fly in important supporting role type squads. Nothing worse than a TRANS squad that cannot do its job properly. If you're going to make rules on this please consider the guys on the ground who have to put up with players operating assets they are not competent to operate. just my 2 cents, Kav
