The Red Tide: A WW3 Tactical RP(OOC, Open)

[Australian Antarctica]

By support in support choppers do you mean Close Air Support?

By that I mean more transport oriented.

Then, no offense, expect those spots to be empty. I'll be signing on as a squad in the 1st platoon soon.

[Armeia]

My first post when the IC is up will be delayed. Gonna be in Toronto tomorrow and I'll probably have no internet except for earlier in the morning

I'm not saying they can't be armed and used as CAS, but their primary role will be transport, like the Huey or Blackhawk.

That's fine. I'll app for a squad. I'm sure support won't be too hard to NPC control.

Not to be an arse, but this is not a naval/marine unit...and even if it were entire squads generally aren't made up of medics/corpsmen, there is only usually one to a platoon...
So, y'know, denied....

This is one squad to a platoon, and I wanted to have Navy troops be assigned to the task force, I wasn't assuming that it was an overall naval unit. But whatever. I really wanna play as Navy so I'll look elsewhere. I see the gap in realism and such, I just wanted to do something new, and since all the attack choppers are taken, I'll keep an eye on this for future openings. Sorry if I'm being picky, just the Alouitan way.

I'll compromise and either allow you to be a Marine Squad or an attack chopper, deal? In fact, you can be a Platoon Commander if you wish.

Fair enough, Could I be an attack chopper? It's just that I've done Army so often in RP's that it's getting repetitive and have never Rped an attack chopper. Sorry for being a bit hard headed, that is the downside to the Alouitan way.

Sure

I appreciate it.

Sure

I appreciate it.

As you should, you are the exception.

[Australian Antarctica]

I think I may just scrap the while Support Helicopter idea and open it to all types.

[Totulga]

I think I may just scrap the while Support Helicopter idea and open it to all types.

I would recommend scrapping the support Helos and reducing the number of Attack helicopters to a max of 4. Helicopters are already a very strong force with an Apache being able to destroy as many as 16 Tanks by itself. Too many and it would take a lot of the fun and desperation out of the RP.

Alright, but you realize the Soviets also have some pretty good Anti-Air and their own epic helicopters?

Soviet Havoks and MI-24s' are very good aircraft. However we need our own anti air assets to beet them not additional helicopters. Helicopters can defend themselves in a pinch with for example my Cobras 2 Sidewinder missile and chaingun but in the end they are not very good at it. I would also argue that despite the fantastic soviet technology a Havok and a Hind are no match for an Apache in terms of destructive capability. The Havok is the closest thing to it but even then its avionics and Anti Tank capabilities are lacking when compared to US attack helicopters. On the other hand the Hind is a brilliant mix of transport and Gunship. Problem is that it doesn't excel at any of those tasks.

The Hind can only carry a 9K114 Shturm which is no match for an ITOW and completely eclipsed by the Hellfire. After that it only has rocket pods that are good against infantry but hardly worth their weight against armor.
The Mil Mi-28 Havok on the other hand is more compatible with an Apache. The Havok carries the 9M120 Ataka- V ATGM that has 25% less range than the Hellfire, a less sophisticated and accurate guidance system, and a smaller payload. Its' one saving grace is its larger load of Air to Air missiles that again, as I stated earlier, are an emergency measure not the preferred method. In addition, the best Air to Air missile it can get which by the way is circa 1984, is the Vympel R-73 that has both a shorter range, less sophisticated guidance system, and smaller payload than the comparable and Cobra equipped Sidewinder.

I am not saying they will not be a concern or that they will be easy. I am just saying they need the numbers to balance out the technological differences.

SGT. Roy Harper

TEAM 2:
SGT Laurel Lance

PVT. Johnny Storm
PVT. Rick Jones
RP Examples: The squad was moved in from a camp on the east side on the battlefield. Advancing into a fortified position, the team readied their guns. Quick as lightning, half the team split right and the other left. As the Soviets marched up the center, they were easy prey. As the assault weapons fired, SSGT Queen was on top of a bluff, taking out small groups of soldiers at a time on over watch. When no Soviets remained, the team moved a steady northwest, Queen keeping an eye on them. All was quiet. "We're done, camp," said Queen into his walkie.

A typical US Army squad consists of 9 men normally lead by a staff Sargent or E-6.
A squad would have 2 team leaders, normally sargents or corporals and then 6 privates and private first classes.

Exactly, therefore, denied.

[Totulga]

For those who don’t know.
A United States Squad of 1982 would have the following organization:
Squad leader: E-6/ Staff Sargent armed with a M16A1 Assault rifle
Alpha Team leader: E-5 Sargent or E-4 Corporal armed with a M16A1 Assault rifle.
Grenadier: E-3 Private First Class or E-2 Private Armed with a M16A1 with a under barrel M203 single shot, breach loading grenade launcher.
Rifleman: E-3 Private First Class or E-2 Private Armed with a M16A1 and a M72 LAW (Light Antitank Weapon)
Machine Gunner: E-3 Private First Class or E-2 Private Armed with a M60 Machinegun
Bravo Team would be the exact same as Alpha team.

*Please note, there are no officers.
*There are no surface to air missiles or Anti-tank guided missiles. They belong to the weapons squad that would have a 9 man squad armed with 3 Dragon Antitank missiles along with 9 M16A1 rifles.

Sure, Huey's are fine, but can a Huey do this?
