Panta_slith -> RE: Helos and scenario balance (11/1/2013 4:14:15 PM)

I am not saying that I am against the use of helicopters in the game, they add the third axis to the battlefield, actually, but: 1-Sometimes there are just too many of them, in the dawn scenario NATO is attacked by a full regiment, 26 Hinds, without much to fire back, since the Vulcans don't seem to fire at the choppers, even at close quarters (one hex). Aren't the Vulcans a little underrated? 2-On the other hand, non-firing, dug-in Vulcans in woods terrain are almost immediately located and targetted by the choppers or arty. quote:

ORIGINAL: Panta What I perhaps failed to express is that staring at the screen for some 20 minutes just watching how the enemy helos pick up your units one by one and your AD do little to avoid it isn't too interesting. I guess that perhaps it should be better to start after the enemy gunship regiment digs a hole in your defences and then begin your land warfare from there on. FPC excels in depicting land warfare, but the air/ground, helos/ground aspect of the game isn't a the same level and turns are long... ROFL!! You're right it's not fun watching the Hinds work you over. It is gratifying when you kill some of them and drive them off though. Some of the scenarios are assault scenarios, some are pursuit scenarios, others are meeting engagements. Not all of them are fast and fluid. Several have times in them when the combat slows down. Normally an entire scenario is not like that. If you find a scenario that isn't to your taste that's okay. While, I would be ecstatic if you guys thought every scenario was the best one you've ever played, I'm more of a realist than that. I understand that not every one of these scenarios will be for everybody. It's okay if you don't like some of them. They are all so different, IMO, it would be hard for a gamer to like them all. There are varying numbers of Hinds in the scenarios. In some cases they are like a blanket. In others just a slight presence. There are even some scenarios with no helicopters in them. If Hinds are not for you, try some of the scenarios with not so many in them. Another option is to play with them on your side as the WP player! [X(] Good Hunting. MR
