I agree, scenario realism can go away, we need some interesting combat mechanics over here!

See. Were they slated for demolition I wouldn't have slaved away on the Russian kit geometries -- knowledge their existence has been public since August 3rd.
On Topic:
Transport choppers -- maybe.. An attack or hybrid of the two would make either maps very cramped.

The way the chechans win is through hit and run attacks and ambushes, but if the russians can just leapfrog any possible defence the chechens are mounting, then russians will just always win.
Chech have plenty of places to hide
Russians lose their tanks to balance, maybe even an APC and their BRDMs.

Re: Adding transport helos too Fools Road and Kozelsk
Considering the terrain and how few places any chopper bigger than a littlebird can actually land, let's not be hasty about stripping a team of their primary assets. Helicopters are always secondary assets on a non amphibious assault map.Dr2B Rudd wrote:Russians lose their tanks to balance, maybe even an APC and their BRDMs.
Personally, I don't think helicopters would add anything to Fools Road (might even subtract from it), and the benefit to Kozelsk would be questionable at best.
I do think the Russians need some Airborne assets, but if they get shoehorned into where they don't belong, we'll quickly tire of them and not want to see them anymore.
Players might be hardcoded, but that sure doesn't seem to stop anybody from trying.
The only winning move is not to play. Insurgency, that is.

thing is, the 32 layers of both maps aren't being used afaik.I do think the Russians need some Airborne assets, but if they get shoehorned into where they don't belong, we'll quickly tire of them and not want to see them anymore.
Make the layer, let the servers decide?

I don't like people making accusations that the dev team doesn't "care" about a certain faction, that it won't add anything for it, that it prefers one over other, blah blah blah.Kruder wrote:Maybe u should try it with a clearer language or provide me some links about what you are trying to tell (pls note that i cant talk the way u talk to me,or i'll get infraction points/ban)

If somebody really thinks that's the case, after all these releases, they are clearly blind or stupid.
There's a bunch of material already posted about Russians and other opfor factions, and several other in the works.

I'd be in favor of a single Havoc or Mi-24. The forest means you have to rely on markers and your commander to give you proper intel.
Oh, and the Chechens happen to have AA, so going in without markers and extremely good intel on AA in the area is like running into a bonfire.

Stop with the sarcasm, it's obvious what he meant and I kinda agree, it's mostly US that get air power/transport on maps, there's no maps where PLA/MEC get air supremacy.

Well its sort of depicting real life. The US generally always has better aviation technology than everyone else, although I do agree I would like to see some more maps with PLA and MEC choppers on them.[R-CON]Outlawz wrote:Stop with the sarcasm, it's obvious what he meant and I kinda agree, it's mostly US that get air power/transport on maps, there's no maps where PLA/MEC get air supremacy.
