A SAS soilder with a HK MP5, with the "black kit" on and a S10 Respirator.
Im 17 years old and i have been playing Project Reality for around 1 - 2 months now. I love it, exactly what i was looking for, i used to play Call of Duty but i started hating it because its not realistic and i wanted a realistic game, so around 1 year ago i bought operation flash point, which turned out to be rather a disappointment.
I then saw Arma 2, but my PC couldn't run it, so then i tried project reality and loved it. Exactly what i was looking for.
Anyway onto the subject of SAS tactics. For around 4 years now, i have been interested in the SAS and how they operate, they really amaze me, There are a few highly trained Special Forces units in the world such as Navy Seals, Delta, SAS, JTF2, Royal Parachute Regiment, GSG 9, Australian and New Zealand S.A.S, GROM, SANDF, Green Berrets and these units are all worthy of being called the best. However the SAS and SBS of Great Britain are generally regarded by most military experts to be the best in the world.
This is because:
1) They have more experience than any other SF regiment in the world.
2) Nearly all SF have been modelled upon them and trained by them including JTF2 and Delta.
3) They have the toughest selection program on the planet.
4) SAS/SBS soldiers are hand picked veteran soldiers mainly from the Royal Parachute Regiment and Royal Marines Commandos which are all ready very tough regiments.
5) They have the longest training programs.
6) They have an extremely good track record.
7) They are the oldest SF in the world.
Ive watched a lot of videos and read a lot of books about the SAS, another army which also interests me is the IDF.
After 2 years of looking up SAS stuff and how they work i learnt a lot of there tactics and some of these tactics i also learnt are used in the JTF2 and Delta forces, which are trained upon SAS.
Early this month, i started a squad and started to use some of these SAS tactics, and my squad mates also picked up my orders and started to use these tactics too.. there was some things we couldn't do, but most of the stuff we could do was extremely effective and worked a lot. Some things which were most effective was before attacking a flag we would sit and just watch for around 14 minutes and see what everyone was doing and where they were heading then we had what the SAS call a 'Chinese Parliament' which is discussion among a group of soldiers, regardless of rank everyone gets an equal say, to agree a plan or course of action.
We marked each side of the building we were assaulting with a color, the front was 'White' the left was 'Red' and the Right was 'Green' and the back was 'Black' they do this in the SAS because it is much easier to communicate in a firefight instead of saying 'The front of the building', because you dont know what is the front of the building because it may vary depending on the persons location, therefore marking it with these colors makes it easy as you can say 'Tango white side, 4th Floor'.
In this case the building we were assaulting was full with around 5 - 7 enemies, we had watched the building for a good 10 minutes and we managed to spot at least 5 enemies who were stationary and seemed to be defending the building.
Once we had planned our course of action we carried it out, in this case 2 members of the team would go down to 'Red' side, and two would go to 'Green Side' the other 2 would cover white and black side, from the outside to make sure there was no enemies would escape.
This strategy turned out very effective, we also used SAS tactics whilst raiding the building which consists of someone throwing a flash-bang into the rooms marked as hostile when we were spotting it earlier. The people covering white and black side had there binoculars and they were telling us movements in enemies and where they were heading, it turned out most of the 7, ran to the roof and all set up a defensive permitter, we had cleared the building up to the floor before the roof. We knew there was 5 people left on the roof, and we had killed 2 people so far. The two spotting, told us what they were doing and as there was 4 of us, and 5 enemies on the roof, we had to think fast. 2 of our squad threw up a grappling hook onto the roof, and at this time the people spotting open fired onto the roof to suppress them, they managed to kill one guy and they all dropped to the floor for cover, then we had two people climb up the grappling hooks and the other two went up the stairs to the roof, the enemy looked so shocked of what was happening they just fired there guns at anything, which was mainly walls. We managed to kill all the enemies on the roof, with only one minor injury which we healed, it was a complete success and we were proud of it.
Of course it was very hard as a squad leader trying to tell people these tactics, and there was limited tactics i could really tell them in a match, so we didnt do everything we could off, to make sure it was a success as you probably realized they was a lot of things which could of gone wrong in this strategy, and this was mainly because i couldn't really teach everyone 2 years of knowledge of SAS tactics in 10 minutes. However what tactics i did teach went extremely well, and it was very fun.
Which brings me onto my next point. Do you think it would be a good or a bad idea, to start a clan or a group which is based on SAS and Special forces tactics? I maybe could write loads of articles about special forces and SAS tactics and people could learn them, and then we could all play and use them together. However im still new at the game and i am learning it quite fast so if you did think this was a good idea, i would probably start it in around june time in 2011.
Thanks for reading all of this
and happy new year
in most cases even their family don't know where they're going.
Opps. Its just they usually wear them, i didnt pay attention to the picture.
