What was your "Shock and Awe" moment in PR

[Portable.Cougar]

I try and begin every attack with a shock and awe phase. weather that be Area Attack, CAS, or direct fires from ground assets

[doop-de-doo]

I joined TG for one my first rounds and I spawned at North Outpost while there was an enemy tank and some infantry cleaning the place out. The squad leader was evacuating, something you almost never really think about doing in vBF2, and he was organizing a rapid fluid withdrawal of the squad. Although most of us didn't make it, squad compliance and the level of tactical planning, instantly struck me - not to mention the panic-inducing sound of the tank at close range.

The size of the city in Ramal (which I had seen on Youtube), the structured game play in comparison to BF2, teamwork, and forced VoIP communication all had their hands in attracting myself and several of my buddies into joining the community. On the other hand, however, some of my other buddies couldn't deal with the long walks, and the patient required to find enemy troops and engage them in tactical superiority, and have not managed to maintain as high a level of interest as I have.

bad moment was when i was on supplytruck and taking fire in qinling
so i try to get away from there but managed to drive over my squadleader who was deploying outpost.
he was furious.

best moment was in barracuda playing in squad with squadleader who was called SqnLdr.

Playing on Muttrah with a kick-*** squad, we've cleared the way ahead to west city as the aptly named "RANGERS VOIP" squad. We take out 2 apcs and 2 squads while defending the firebase we set up then:

I call CAS on a suspected enemy FOB at the construction site, as I call in a JDAM. The hueys blast the construction site's main building to dust then 30 seconds later BOOOOM and there's just nothing left...

Needless to say, we never saw the enemy at construction site again.

Holding the line with my Delta boys on Hills of Hamyong against the entire British team during a PRT match. When 6 guys hold a position against an entire team and the only thing for the reinforcements to do when they (finally) show up is steal a brit kit or two is a damn fun experience. Smoke covering the approach, frags being pelted down a mountain path, QBZ-95s blazing away full auto into a mass of charing british troops then counter attacking down the hill, getting right into the heart of the enemy, picking up an L85 and causing a good few team kills in the confusion is a damn great feeling.

I am very pleased to read that my AOR game system, and my tactical plan and my defensive training procedure, on that specific map, in that specific battle, created your best Shock and Awe" moment in PR.

***

As for my best Shock and Awe moment, i am not sure, simply too many of them. Maybe the initial assault - decapitation phase, in C6B2, Sunset City, cause the opposing team, did not seem to expect such a bold/crazy move, from round start.

[Wh33lman]

PR v0.85 i think..
Map: Korengal Valley
Team: U.S.

I put together a 6 man squad to build and defend an epic FOB.
I know I know, it's pointless being an insurgency map where we should be finding caches but it sounded fun anyhow.

This was when Korengal had Laniyol on the West side of the map rather than the outpost on the East.

We managed to convoy a logi truck and a humvee to Laniyol and build an FOB up top in the small compound there.
I broke our squad up into 2 fire teams , 1 covering the north side of the compound and 1 covering the South. We built 2 50cals and wire to block or slow the enemy down.

I never expected what happened next. For the next 1.5-2 hours the insurgents would not stop trying to dislodge us. We lost our FOB once, but still managed to get a RP up and never get dislodged completely.

In that time we managed to kill 213 insurgents!!

and then we had one member go commander for an artillery attack towards the end, leaving a spot open for a new squad member who got himelsf 30 kills in his place.

The #1 player got nearly all of his 69 kills on the mounted 50 cal covering the N.West entrance..

This screen shot shows the kills. Players 1-7 are/were the members, including the Commander who came in 6th.

My name back than was KarateDoug.

This was my most epic shock an awe moment in PR and I have yet to duplicate it or see it duplicated. It was living proof that fire teams who do not abandon their covered sectors are completely devistating.

And this FOB left enough insurgents off of the battle field that the US was able to basically walk in and kill caches with nearly 0 resistance ultimatley leading us to victory.


Someone mind helping with the screen shot? Cant seem to embed.

you told me you got it up there, you never told me the story. your welcome btw.

oh god, so many shock and awe moments, most of them with this guy ^

Every time Astral and I hiked up to Laynial with a full squad and just sat on it.

The first time i played insurgency on Op Archer in .75(with Astral)
A) i dont really remember why, but we all got out of the humvee and waited in the hills for an ambush, then got killed by insurgents.
B) the rushs over the airfield wall using a fallen tree to get in and an AR for suppressing fire.
C) just walking throught the city checking the buildings for the cachem skirmishing with the insurgents along the way.
D) seeing my first JDAM fall on said city after failing to find the cache. the good news was the JDAM destroyed the cache. the bad news was that it was the wrong one.

the first time i actually WON Barracuda, because Astral and GS were flying the choppers and barely lost any.

The 8-9 vehical convoy that was rolling across the desert on Kashan.

theres probably more, but i dont remember them all.

and with my 200th and probably final post, i bid you farewell. Its been a good run and i had a blast.

[theiceman]

mine was the very first round i have ever played in PR. About 7.5 era I joined kashan desert n spawned at bunkers...i saw am AR lighting people up, and and A-10 just wizzed by and blew up a tank...i was like...Best Mod EVER!

[L4gi]

Every time I play its a shock and awe moment.

Best ones have probably been the Kashan and Al Kufrah games in C8 of PRT. Armor right through the middle, all the enemy armor down within minutes.

[rushn]

firefights/ambushes that escalate into awesomeness

[Startrekern]

My best Shock and Awe moment? Csxgamerz was the driver for my BMP on Kashan Desert (0.8, 0.84ish) and we were on our way back from a successful attack near North Village. There was apparently some fighting around South Village that we didn't know about or something, because it was quiet for five seconds as we turned up the mountain north of SV, and then all hell broke loose we popped over the hill for a second or two and two tanks turn and saw us, we ran and they missed us. An AT4 or something fired on us and then a frogfoot swooped down for a run and barely missed us on two passes and with some bombs and rockets. (all within the space of 60 seconds) We made it back to main intact.

[Rudd]

today was pretty cool on korengal, we were on the west side of the map, one squad on the north bank of the river, pretty much the rest of the team on the south side, teh cache location just west of that north squad, enemy had put up a smoke screen, so around 3 squads were just pumping rounds in to the smoke just ahead of the north squad in the effort to suppress or kill them, alot of tracers, very cool.

[mat552]

Last week I was playing on silent eagle, getting my *** (as well as the rest of my squad) handed to me by russian armor near the church, called for CAS and didn't get any response. At the very last possible second imaginable, I hear the GAU-8 first, then several explosions second, followed by the sight of the A10 popping flares and flying away at rooftop level.

Twas stunningly awesome. I intended to deliver a battlerecorder, but alas, we were not running it at the time.

[BIGsmalll]

Silent Eagle. About half way into the battle.. We got a lift from a Chinook and heading to Village.. I don't know what was going on but the commander told everyone to assault that CP. The pilot dropped us off.. reared back.. Dropped flares while a MIG-29 guns at it. We were able to escape but then it comes in for another pass with the bombs. BUT!(bare with me) The F-16 comes in and takes it out before a bomb leaves the rack. At the same time i was looking out my buildings window. Seeing this- Two Chinooks flying in with flares everywhere, the sound of the A-10's wizzing engines, the F-16 strafing near by buildings and the not so distant sound of an area attack. My jaw dropped and i tried to get a Xfire video running.. but xfire wasn't on ._. then when we were switching buildings. A lucky Mil MI-17 gunner got me and two other SQM.. I pretty much just sucked after that epicness..

[Mongolian_dude]

Had a great moment where the squad had located a firebase through some foliage, on Yamalia. We crawled a good 50m up to it, and on the count of three, four of the squad members relentlessly threw frags at the defenders in and around foxholes. Must have been summin like 12-16 frags going off.
Its safe to say the results were messy...



...mongol...

[Farks]

One of the first times I tried PR back in 0.2 or 0.3. Played a couple of rounds with an amazing squad leader, and (for that time) mind blowing teamwork within the squad and team. We pretty much slayed anything that came in our way. I suspect that SL was a real soldier, cos he really knew what he was doing.

Needless to say, my interest for PR pretty much exploded after that.

[SGT_Griggs]

Mine was definately a while back on kashan when we were flanking an MEC positions near one of the villages and getting pinned down. Then seeing an apache swoop down and bombard their position with 30mm and hydra's then setting down a smoke and seeing a blackhawk come down and pick us all up. It may not sound great, but was bloody brilliant when it happened.

today was pretty cool on korengal, we were on the west side of the map, one squad on the north bank of the river, pretty much the rest of the team on the south side, teh cache location just west of that north squad, enemy had put up a smoke screen, so around 3 squads were just pumping rounds in to the smoke just ahead of the north squad in the effort to suppress or kill them, alot of tracers, very cool.

That was pretty a pretty good and tough round. Was on the SAW lugging shells at them right there with ya!!

Same reason I'm still here, my first experience was in a good squad back in 0.3 No more vanilla ever again.

[ComradeHX]

My squad was pinned down (by atleast one Automatic Rifleman) in a ditch when we got off our vehicle and walked on foot near our vehicle.

A Comrade ran back into the vehicle and started it up while we gave him some cover fire.

We drove away, nobody was hit.

...wait, that happened in real life...

[Qaiex]

I don't know if it really counts as shock and awe but I remember the moment when I felt that PR was really awesome.

I was playing Muttrah on UKWF and up until that point I had only played with squads where the SL had been moderately involved, nothing serious. So I joined a squad and just went over to a crate and got a kit, and the SL just went off and said:
"Kex! This is your first and last warning, if you ever do that again, I'll kick you."

It was awesome, went on to be one of the best games I've played.
When a SL actually gives a shit and takes control, the games become so much better.
