I just installed the patch.

Thanks again to the all involved for a superb game.

I'm curious what are the #s in MOBHack for the new icons and pics.

AIs use of obstacles in Defend

Since the 2.0 patch I've played ~6 assault games vs. the AI in the long campain in the 2010-2015 timeframe and I have not seen a single landmine, strand of barb wire or dragons tooth.

Re: USMC OOB ?

Ok, so it's a function of cannon size AND rounds per burst. I thought it was something like that but wanted to double check.

It does seem foolish to switch from 25mm to 30mm in the EFV if for...

USMC OOB ?

In the USMC OOB the HE Kill for the 25mm bushmaster (#74 & 75) is 13 while the HE Kill for the 30mm bushmaster on the EFV is 11. Is this correct?

Re: Tactical Rockets

So it would only be for assault missions, like how you only have access to naval gunfire support for beach landing missions.

Re: Marine LAV-AD

Yes its obsolete as a SPAA but as a light infantry support tank it's still quite useful.

I often purchase a couple of sections when playing against masses of infantry.

Re: What are your most hated \"Gamey\" Tactics

Versus the AI on the defense I often use the flamethrowers or m202 flash rockets as "perma-smoke" against an oppenent lacking TI.

Is this "gamey" or a legit tatic?

Re: Use of Guships

I mostly play in the modern era.

IMHO one or two strike elements of Hellfire UAVs are more cost effective that one SEAD strike. Their small size and high EW rating make them devilishly hard to...

In the context of the game when I have my AFVs pop up from behind a hill to engage the enemy I usually turn off of MG. I find I can take more main gun shots before drawing reactive this way.

Re: AT4 and its likes

When I know my squads will face AFVs I usually set their range down to 3-5 hexes and wait for the AFVs to close.
