Usmc oob

Suhiir · #1 October 17th, 2014, 09:28 PM

I had not even remotely planned on another update this year, much less this soon. But after considerable behind-the-scenes discussion with a certain Squid I've been persuaded to create this OOB update.

ALL of the changes are transparent to existing scenarios and either the default OOB or this one can be used interchangeably (if none of the new units added in this update are used in a scenario).

Note: All US Navy/US Air Force aircraft/helicopters have had an "*" added to their name and been changed to radio code x3, in most cases, so the AI cannot purchase them yet they are still available for scenario designers.

Since I couldn't find any default scenario where Unit#093 (155mm M777 (VT)) or Unit#557 (155mm Sec (VT)) was used I decided to take the plunge and get rid of VT artillery in the OOB (

YAY

). In it's place we now have VERY expensive CM+ artillery with lots of CM ammo.

Wow, CM+ arty has nasty effects on infantry and light vehicles. Putting a lot of CM ammo in the scenario may just temp some of us to load up on CM and waylay the opposition.

The CM arty should be used sparingly so that a lot of thought should go into it's employment in a scenario, and that can best be accomplished by limiting the ammo.

Otherwise, I looking forward to integrating this OOB in existing scenarios.

Just give me an IFV that can close to 850m of the enemy (in support of advancing infantry) and fire and I'll be happy.
