Calling All Tankers
Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2012 2:24 pm
If there is going to be a chance at making FPG into a realistic game/sim...game first, sim second, we need INPUT.
The discussion points I make are from the POV of a combat engineer. It was my job to, put it plainly, Kill Tanks.
If I couldn't kill them then I should slow them down as much as possible. Disrupting the flow of battle is third.
Kill Them.
Slow Them.
Confuse Them.
But while I served in an Armored Division I wasn't a tanker. I talked with lots of them. My situation allowed me access to Division level information on Soviet forces and tactics. I was often used as a Soviet commander during MBX's.
None of that is the same as having been a tanker.
Where are you guys in these discussions?
What are you waiting for?
Come on in!!
Tankers of any nation, any time period, are most welcome to these discussions.
Good Hunting.
