Re: Experiences of a PRT Commander
A reunion party for CATA COs here? Cool
As intro just as l4gi posted: C5: Sign up as grunt for PELA, promoted to NCO, promoted to SL C6: SL C7: GSO, 2iC, CO I could kick my ass for that archiving my battleplans :/ I'll try to post my Batteplans here too. But I guess I have to do it mostly without pictures... So even it looks like not much work: It was much work Many productive discussions, brainstormings and meetings about any battleplan. Every battleplan had two threads minimum. Brainstorming and Planning. Both threads often had several pages with several pictures and detail ideas worked on. Quote:
What was especially difficult for me were the random flag placements. So far I was used to static flags and a pretty detailled position plan with AORs (area of responsibilites) and zones (sword, shield, safe). I tried to stick to that system though during my CO time as I found it very useful. I thought about doing a detailled plan for all flag positions, but I realized it is just too much to do. So I tried to create a general plan for any flag. Here two pictures I created for that battle: http://img403.imageshack.us/i/genera...nquinling.png/ http://img249.imageshack.us/i/generalquinling2.png/ Of course the directions of the units can vary and only the basic idea is in these pictures. My evaluation of that battle today is: I was too defensive and could have done more in the offence. But the constant attacks on our flag didnt allow any units except Cougars (Spec Ops) to move away at least that was my impression from the CO-post. Surprisingly we got air-superiority for some time but we didnt use it good enough... Most probably because many of the gunners and even pilots had to be found on short notice and the protocol (whispers etc) werent in use correctly. End result was: 1-0 for NATO, CATA started with 50 points more though. I still thought I did pretty well for my first CO battle Also memorable about that Battecycle was that while CATA2 lost with 0-1 CATA3 won with 1-0 tickets. Quote:
Situation was like this: NATO capped North City and then we had a nice stalemate between NC and the west city. You know the big road going from west to east. Just like a perfect place for a stalemate battle... Just like the river in Qwai River. Quote:
Quote:
My plan with pictures: I only have the pics on my harddrive but sadly not my written text... http://img91.imageshack.us/i/plan1.gif/ http://img708.imageshack.us/i/plan2.gif/ Of course this looks very easy but dont think I just drew that in 5mins and it was good. There was a lot of time invested in any battle plan. And discussions of many detaills in the according CATA forums. As you can see I concentrated on the center as I expected NATO to attack constrution site with full force. This did not happen in the beginning though... They attacked on our weak flank, the east. Leopards were ordered to build that FB but were interrupted by NATO HMMVs pushing through the east. After a while though Leopards, Cougars and Vipers could push out the NATO forces (I think nearly the whole team) to the city wall in the north. I remember watching the k/d ratios from Vipers especially... This was some cool sh*t Well after that NATO chose to switch the flank and attacked constr site and could push us back, but then again we pushed them back and after all we ended up with Sunset city free of enemy troops and pushing NATO over the river. After that there was some stalemate and the round ended. Also memorable was that CATA2 was short 1 squad in that battle, that made me especially proud in such an inf map CATA 2 won, not sure with how many tickets. Here some eye-candy Gotta promote my videos where I can Quote:
We planned to rush Bi Ming from the start and surprise them. NATO said often CATA2 was too defensive all the time. So the surprise element was on our side clearly. This was imo the best battle as the plan worked out so cool. Again an excerpt from my after battle evaluation: Quote:
CATA2 won again, not sure with how many tickets... Quote:
No pictures or battle text on my harddrive :/ The idea of the plan was this though: Move slow and with a plan. We setup a mechanized inf squad and an armor squad to move together. So we really thought about how to move and use our advantage on that map. The advantage obviously was that we have APCs and even better tanks. This worked out very well imo. We moved slow but steady and pushed NATO back step by step. We were pretty lucky with the flag placement though. We got Temple and even one flag closer to our main, I think where the barn is. The Third flag naturally capped by NATO was Mine in the north east. 1 squad was on temple the whole round 1 squad was on the fishing village and the souther bridge and patrolling there. Mech infantry and tank squad where first north of the northern bridge and had tough firefights up to the northern edge of the map. We pretty much pushed them off from our side though and managed to cross the river between the Mine flag and the norther bridge. Close to the bridge though. Then we set up a FB there, with luck as one badass managed to drive a truck through the northern river crossing passing at least 1 NATO with a LAT on the Mine entrance. I remember that so well because I looked at it in the BR file because I couldnt image how that was possible Then we pretty much stayed there and attacked the Mine a bit. I think we destroyed their FB as many US soldiers came walking from the US Mainbase. While that was happening I ordered the Southbridge/FV squad to cross to and defend the northern bridge end (on the US side) CATA 2 won, dont remember with how many tickets... Again a video There you can see several screenshots maybe you can understand it better then... Greetings Hunter | |||||||

Re: Experiences of a PRT Commander
Actually it would be very cool to read some words from NATO COs too indeed!
This could become a very nice thread with different point of views of the same battles... |
