Thank you very much. 😇 I hope it makes getting into the game easier.

Combat-Vehicles can not share ammunition, this only works for infantry teams and transport vehicles in their formation. Sorry for not making clarifying that sufficiently.

It can make a differnce with some MGs if they are deployed or not, because it might affect their elevation, when put on a mount. If the soviet MGs can benefit from that i dont know, sadly i dont own Red Thunder. If that doesnt help and you cant find positions of relative elevation i sadly have no other course of action than franticly moving waypoints and and trying to find an opening with the target order. Theoretically the target line should indicate via colour, where the obstacle ocurs, its often a game of angles you might also get some surpression when targeting near tiles around the enemy, if the position itsself can not be targeted. For example targeting a wall behind a trench if the trench is too low. Sorry, that i dont have more input here.

@@AR-GuidesAndMore thanks for the reply, it sounds like I'm just going to have to tediously scour "flat" ground for some small hummock that allows line of sight. I think Red Thunders original campaigns are a bit slap dash sadly.

​@@SgtBotBot I wish you luck, hopefully a mole left a hill somewhere for you to benefit from. Fingers crossed that the campaign experience improves for you. 😇

I am honored, to have such a cultured audience. 😇

Thank you 😇 good point, i tend to leave them on but it should have been mentioned as an option.

Thank you 😇, glad to hear that they are of use.

I have sadly not found a way to Dismount mid turn to have the Vehicle drive on after wards, even though there is some variance in the command. All i know about dismounting i have put in this video ua-cam.com/video/ICoatpJjU64/v-deo.html

This should work in all current titles, the Video should be in CMx2 Engine, Version 4. What went wrong depends on what happened. Since there are sadly multiple failure points. The Pause must be long enough for the infantry to initiate the embark, that allways depends on the terrain and distances, this also needs to be timed with a pause on the infantry, if the vehicle has a long approach to the pick up. If your vehicle constantly drives off before the infantry could embark the vehicle pause was too short. If the Infantry moved towards the last vehicle waypoint it was too far away to initiate the embark during the vehicle pause or was itself not paused long enough till the vehicle arrived at its Paused waypoint for the embark. Fundamentally the longer the distances involved the harder it is to perform and it will sadly allways be fiddily with a chance of failure.

Thank you 😇, but i am sure Usually Hapless would give me good kicking in the behind. The scenario is build in a way to display a "tactical problem" and showcase its solution. The points are not balanced precisely. If i remember correctly the US has a point advantage at the start, you as a german get a penalty for casualties after a certain point and some additional points for destruction of enemy assets. By the way you can find a Link in the Video description to a dropboxlink, where you can download the scenario. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/akvsmmnsvs048nsrpbm3p/Setting-Up-an-Mortarsupport-Mech-Attack2.btt?rlkey=j2ejpoti3h8pb4hyblu4o6tfo&e=1&st=5bj1ypi2&dl=0 Alternatively, here it is. I just realized the one in the Video didnt work, should be fixed now 😅

I am happy you decided to stay and didnt run from the pun. 😇

Depends on the situation. At some point there will be an example video. 1. If you cant resist in any capacity, obscure as much as you can and bolt it. 2. If you still have some firepower id say by bounding movements backwards delaying the enemy with direct and indirect fire. 3. If the terrain does not permit bounding movement, a rearguard element stays to delay, while the rest bolts it. Please feel free to mention it, if you have another approach. 😇

Thank you very much 😇 The effort that went into it (especially the pun 😁) was not in vein then.

Thank you 😇.I know what you mean, the thing is the more titles come out the more variance in smoke is possible, i dont know the colour of every smoke in every title. But the colour itself can be used as a cruch, i couldnt tell you for example how it is in Black Sea, or Cold War, because i dont own these titles. That is why i kept it rather broad.

Thanks a lot 😇. If you show this video to a ham its smoked afterwards. 😁

Oh man, I thought I saw you under Razzman's video and I did and even replied to your comment. Damn, the world is small.

@@Someone-lr6gu yep, here I am. =)

Thank you for your praise😇. In regadrs to CQB the only thing i have seen reducing casualties is constant surpression with small arms and overwhelming force when engaging. If you post up about 20m away you can also throw grenades by using the target order if you want to storm trenches and the like. As seen in the Attack Example Video in the end. But it can only reduce the risk, if you have casualties anywhere then in CQB. If you know enemy is in a building another way is to breach if possible, that usually also provides an advantage, but breach abillities are not common. 😔

I think the games pretty accurate with CQB casualties (as much as I hate to admit it). Entering into an enemy held building is a sure way to take casualties. It’s in the enemy’s favour. They’ve got the cover, they’re stationary and waiting for you. The game doesn’t mode internal walls, furniture, murder holes etc but I assume they’re there and every corner is conceleing an enemy waiting to shoot you. My plan for entering a building is usually a lot of prep work. Heavy weapons firing into the building first - ideally HE, when your assault team is moving to break in suppress with light target command (to avoid injury to your team). Once your team are about to enter the suppression elements switch fire (upstairs or adjacent buildings). Possibly enter with blast if available. I always anticipate casualties on the assaulting elements, they’re fighting against the odds. Sometimes I’m lucky. Sometimes I’m not.

I think the best video that captures what makes Combat Mission special is this one in my opinion. ua-cam.com/video/c_H8NHGB_zg/v-deo.html&lc=UgzyhUKSVyOXX7A3kdF4AaABAg Personally i also prefer the more "relaxed" approach of Combat Mission to the hectic clicking of oter games. But if you play turn based its just another level than pausable RTS in my opinion.

@@AR-GuidesAndMore that’s exactly the type of video I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!

@@RM-cv4tl You are welcome. 😇

Thank you 😇, i wish i would get the videos out at the old pace again.

Thanks for your feedback 😇 I agree that its plenty of Artilery, but the Hill Position in the Forrest can overlook a good part of the approach from the village. I was a bit to generous with the space that can not be affected from the forested Hill in my Map-Display. If the Hill is not surpressed, the MGs and the AT-Gun up there can be quite deadly. The approach over the street can be taken under fire from the Orchard allready, and your Infantry will break really quick if you take minimal casualties on the approach. The enemy is also positioned in a way that they are all in contact with each other, so they will react relatively fast as soon as you show up. I am certainly no tactical genius, but i think you might find it quite challenging to do it with less bombs. It can most certainly be done, but its outside my skill-level to achieve it, without suffering significant casualties and limiting your casualties is part of winning condition, because of the ammount of Artillery support. 😇

@@AR-GuidesAndMore Did you build the scenario yourself btw? It might be interesting to make it available so its possible to follow along. And sure for the scenario if you have the ammo obviously you want to use it and its a great demo on how to do it aswell. Using less ammo obviously increases the risk of casualties and isnt something for a tutorial but more for having it mastered. The halftracks do allow you to cross some distance even under some fire so the approach being somewhat under fire isnt necessarily a dealbreaker.

@@holoween8103 Yes. I build the scenarios of the exapmle series to be ale to showcase the subject in a controlled manner, but try to make it difficult enough that failure is an option. I actually had to buff the Drivers of the Halftracks up from green to regulars, because they would break too easy even under relatively light fire making it a total mess to approach. 😅 The Idea of sharing the scenarios is something i had in mind, but i had no quick solution ready and i lost focus on it. But i might have an idea now, thanks for reminding me of it. Its a great idea. 😇

@@holoween8103 File should be available in the community section in the most recent post. I hope it works. 😇

@@AR-GuidesAndMore Thanks a lot for posting it. And getting a look youre right there really isnt the dead space to make my idea work.

Thank you 😇, that really kind of you, i hope to get to make a new video relatively soon.

It certainly was not 😇

I will certainly maintain ze accent, for nothing conveys lightheartedness and joy like a german accent. 😇

Its actually really demanding, but i can understand if you prefer real time mode. 😇

@@AR-GuidesAndMore So humble of you to acknowledge your own inferiority here. How refreshing. I knew I made the right decision following you. Maybe if you try your best and train hard every day you might one day be able to play the game in the adult mode too.

I think i will mostly stick with turn based except for maybe smaller scenarios 😇. In regards to professional use, you can most certainly outline the advantages of the real time mode to the Dstl (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory), they will likely be apprecative if you can make your case there successfully. 😇

@@AR-GuidesAndMore haha, do those noobs play in turn based too?

@@calumlittle9828 Yes. 😇

Thank you very much. 😇

Dont be too harsh on yourself 😇. It was likely the surprise effect of encountering humoristic aspects in a video with german accent.

Thank you 😇, glad you liked it.

Thank you very much 😇, i will take good care of it .👁

Thing is this is now the second time i got a comment that involves a reverse order regarding this, at some point i will test this again, side by side with other suggestions. 😇 This is not meant to downplay your comment, for i am honestly intrigued.

I used the hotkey "G". Most orders have a hotkey assigned to them. 😇

@@AR-GuidesAndMore you can also assign or even reassign hotkeys to commands. eg, I switch "z" to zoom in and "x" to zoom out for my hotkeys. The default is the other way around. See the advanced options on the game startup page.

@@chee-yanhiew485 Thats a function i should utilize myself , thank you for bringing it up 😇. I constantly mess those two up.

Very kind of you. 😇 Thanks for watching it.

Thanks 😇.Then maybe i should refrain from making too many videos on non german forces, to not break the immersion. 😅

"Vehicles - vehicles will hold fire and not move, trying to keep a low noise profile. Hiding vehicles that are struck by a projectile, or that spot an enemy vehicle targeting them, will automatically un-hide." ' Thats what Engine manual 4.00 says about hide on vehicles 😇. I havent tested the effect of it yet, i must admit and simply trust that i does make a difference.

Großes liebes Dankesschön 😇

Depends on the size of the platoon and the number of hexes and the weapon systems. 😇 Modern IFVs with stabilized guns are pretty vicious, but when its just an APC with an MG mount it gets tricky, from my experience.

@@AR-GuidesAndMore I might test it out in hotseat. Modern and cold war IFVs theoretically could hit a lot of hexes while moving but could they actually put in enough firepower to effectively suppress defenders while hitting multiple hexes in succession? I suspect one burst into a hex is unlikely to have much impact. I would be curious about both automatic cannons and turret MGs. Also with grazing fire, fire at one hex would actually have an impact on other hexes in LOS...especially in flat terrain and light woodlines.

@@ktall6749 Best of luck with that. I can imagine, that against conscripit/green troops this might be especially effective.😇

Thats a good tip 😇, i should implement that. Thank you.

Thanks for the kind words 😇 Its a great suggestion and i agree that this would be an interesting Video. I personally am just not too familiar with the doctrines that informed the platoon organization. So i wouldnt do a best practice Video, but 🤔 what i can do is build a specific scenario and then use the different Platoons in that one scenario, trying to utilize what they have at there disposal.

I have to thank you, for your input and your time. 😇 Really happy that you enjoy these.

Thank you, glad you liked it. 😇

Thank you for the Feedback, thats an approach that is likely easier to implement for many, especially when there are close to no time constraints, since you can avoid the "time table" for the strikes and you are on smaller maps as you pointed out.. 😇 The idea here was also to showcase the principal that can be also applied on larger maps, to use artillery and smoke to manipulate the line of sight and to cut off mutualy suportive Positions, although there terrain analysis plays a bigger role of course.

Both approaches work, it depends on your time constraints. Using your indirect fire as area suppression allows you to support a fast attack, like in the video Your approach is more precise but adjusting fire from position to position takes time. That being said especially in the modern titles with fast call in times and drones as spotters using your artillery to shift from target to target silencing every spotted contact is viable.

I doubt this would be feasible considering he only has 20 minutes and a call in time of ~7 minutes. It would take time to destroy the foxholes and I feel like that time couldn't be afforded.

​@@Someone-lr6gu It might be possible with multiple spotters and shifting targets of light maximum duration missions, so you only have to adjust instead of calling in a completly new mission. This might safe enough time. Only the hill position might be tricky.

@@___seb3341 Especially with PzH2000 or Precision munitions. The PzH is a Monster in my Opinion.

Hunt definetly looks slower. 😅 If not directly compared.

Thank you 😇, i hope to make the interaction of elements more easily digestable especially for newcomers. Its allways great, when Veterans of the franchise give their feedback.

Thank you for mentioning this 😇 I never put much attention on that.

@@AR-GuidesAndMore I only discovered it because I was designing a scenario and found I could knock out bunkers at very long distance using indirect on-map fire. Another bug is that mortar halftracks fire much slower than mortars outside halftracks.

Thank you 😇. I am not aware that you can call in Off-Map Fire without access to a radio, but maybe i missunderstand you or have poorly worded it in the video. I dont mean the Spotter needs a C2 Link but a radio to call for Off-Map support. Am i mistaken with that? Just tested with new Video and consulted forums, you are correct, change on that was just mentioned as a possibility. It appears that my guides are riddled with errors. I dont know how i misunderstood the Manual it doesnt mention the need for a radio link. 🤦‍♂ My Brain likely made the connection because i didnt own the WW2 titles at the time and the Syrians without Radio often simply lag permission to call for fire. Well need to issue another correction video by time. Edit: In the Meantime get pinned. 😇

@@AR-GuidesAndMore Don't worry - your videos are very good and contain very few errors.

@@Tom_Quixote Thank you 😇, i try to see it as a win every misconception discovered in my Videos is chance to clear it up for future players, although it still stings, to get something wrong.

I think it is best seen as an indicator of the bogging of vehicles with similar charachteristics, A 4 Wheeler with 2 Off Road boggs more than a 4 Wheeler with 4 Off Road when all else is equal, but its not 1 to1 translateable to other platforms. And since weight doesnt seem to be a factor i think that ground pressure is mostly accounted for in the Rating. But i am not sure. Maybe its just a failure rate indicator foundamentally and other metrics like Power and amount of wheels or Tracks are additional multipliers on that. The over all system eludes me still.

Very nice to hear that, thank you. 😇 I hope your engineers have a better day now when going on said mission.

By blushing on a regular basis when it is brought up. 😇
