Default [GUIDE]Combined Assault

PR is a great modification, but sometimes, not everything is like the name suggests, playing a few minutes, you'll see squads doing independent works, having no commander makes it even more disorganized.

A great thing to change this reality, is the Combined Assault, a entire team, organized, to complete one objective, it can be destroying a Cache, capturing a CP and even destroy a enemy FOB.

But how to do it? You have to get at least of this requirements:
  • A Commander*
  • Any kind of Armor Support
  • If possible, Air Support
  • 2~4 Infantry Squads*
  • 1 Mortar Squad
  • 1 Recon Squad
  • 1 Transport Squad*

* Vital things, without them the assault won't have success.

Things to be remembered:

Terrain: The terrain, is a very important part when planning the assault, but sometimes it's forgotten. The terrain can serve as natural obstacle, but can be also a natural cover, if you are assaulting a hill, it's vital to insert uphill too, this will give a nice observation position, and a nice cover, but if you insert lower than the hill, the enemies up there will shoot everybody and you got a natural obstacle.

Landing Zones: The Landing Zones or LZ, are one of the most important parts of a Air Inserted Assault, you need to make the LZ a flat terrain, in a medium distance to the objective (not too close, not too far), making the infantry job a pretty easier.

Advance Zones: The Advancing Zones, are a way to the infantry and the armor go to the assault already knowing where to go, which way should be chosen, everything that will make the advancing troops job pretty easier and quicker.

How to do?

Is up to you know how to execute a nice Combined Assault, these kind of tactics, are unique, and no single person in the entire word can tell to anyone how to plan tactics, you get the basic, the rest is up to you, I already told you that you need to plan the Advance Zones, the Landing Zones and to check the Terrain of the Assault area, now plan your tactics and use it nicely.

Vantages:
  1. If it's well coordinated, it's certain (or almost), that the assault will have success.
  2. If you surprise the enemy with coordination and every kind of support (Blitzkrieg) the enemy won't have chance of fighting against the attack.
  3. Team-Work.
