Report RSS 3/12/08 Update: Role Responsibilities

We're beginning to look into how each of the different roles will work and which roles will have control over what units.

Posted by on

I'm thinking that Unit Roles will go loosely like this:

Infantry - Controls infantry squads (durr...). Since this is an infantry based mod, most of the load will fall on this role. (rangers, d-boys)

Armor - Armor will have more of a support role in this mod. They will provide the heavy guns for the troops and will probably consist of APC's, and Light/Medium Tanks.

Air - Air has the responsibility of ferrying troops and providing close air support to the infantry on the ground. Probable units include UH-60's, AH/MH/OH-6's and AH-1W's (Blackhawks now carry miniguns, AH variants of the Little Bird serve as Spec Ops gunships, and Cobra's are now heavy gunships)

Support - This role is probably the least developed. We're thinking they may play the role of the convoy with HMMWV's, Transport Trucks, and repairs. Artillery will not be included.

If you have any suggestions or comments be sure to post them :)
