All respect to you Mike, don't think we could have had a better commander for our team back then.

Also, great read.

Thanks.

Personally though, I don't think my guide is anywhere close to being extremely in-depth, -yet. It will be great, if I can make it so. So far I managed to make it detailed in certain areas, yes, but that's all. Going extremely in-depth will require a mountain-range of work.

In the Commander chapter, when written, I will touch the topic of digging into the layers below the details, floating on the surface, but I honestly don't think I will have the time, or skills for that matter, to go in-depth. Who knows? Eventually, time will tell.

I agree that you need as updated data on the game, as possible, however, not all of the game has changed, thus in several years from now, PR players will still be able to use this guide as a supportive tool when wanting to play the CO-function. Especially when the bigger teams gets to become an everyday event on the PR servers.

Regarding playtime, well, since you don't know when I played the game last time L4gi, you aren't able to determine how much the game has changed since I played it.

Hi Phoenix, thanks for the kind words.

Well I do know you havent played for years. :P

Michael_Denmark · 2011-05-22, 10:31

Then why did you feel a need to ask?

L4gi · 2011-05-22, 12:33

Just saying. I feel that your guide is way too in-depth to be useful. Not that I dont respect the time it took for you to write it. One of the biggest problems with most players/SLs/COs nowadays is that they try to do things the hard way when there is an easy way. I've had great success with simple things, so I dont see why people want to overcomplicate things.

Michael_Denmark · 2011-05-22, 13:03

Well we are all different L4gi.

Thus when you view the guide as something not-simple, others will view it as superficial and too simple.

Simplicity and complexity are subjective factors.

The most successful emotional magnet I have used in a Project Reality battle was the defense of Temple Flag, Qwai River map, playing the PLA side (PELA TEAM). A battle that from my opponents side was not tactical necessary to process. Temple flag was not a tactical treat to the enemy in that battle, however its location being close to the PLA main base could be used as base for encircling PLA main base. Thus Temple was tempting to capture.

Eventually I deployed more than 2/3 of my team on the Temple hill area and defended it successfully against numerous enemy helicopter/boat and vehicle-attacks, resulting in my ticket victory.

This was indeed an memorable defence which even bumped team morale for the following battles in my opinion.

Agree whit l4gi. More details there are means more ways to fail=more likely you are to fail.
Just keep it simple and it will work.
Been there, done that.

What you perceive as being simple, is not what another will perceive as being simple. Agreeing with others is fine, but on this matter not important in it self, since it is the acceptance of the diversity, that is important.

When you as here reject that others can have another view on the same thing as you, -in this case whether something is too detailed instead of being simple, then you also distance your self from the thinking of understanding your enemy.

Ah well, I will try - at some point - to describe it better in the guide if I'm able to.
