Just played on a round of Kyongan Ni as PLA commander and I would first like to thank BiGGaayAl and Charity for supporting me (and apologies for the F-bombs ).

I decided to put my imaginary plan to the test, which I posted here and it worked, USMC won 31-0.
Strat is here:

Say what?

Yes US won again and everything worked as I wrote; the USMC attacked from all the directions which are described in it, so all according to plan.

The reason we lost however is the fact, that I only had 2-3 SLs which responded to me and obeyed even when I told everyone to withdraw to Estate and the team went 'WTF'.

Yes, it's called a retreat sometimes you should practice it more.

Following I'd like to point out is some general facts:

-USMC starts with a ticket advantage for no reason, when IMO the map is perfectly balanced

-contrary to the looks the USMC has the ground advantage since they can flank in from the hillsides and the Airdrop is a flag which can only be captured by attacking it from one direction, so a no-go for Chinese there.

-slight weapon advantage. Remember the M16A4 is a medium range weapon which fits with this map as it plays at such distances.

Here's what went wrong:

-too much pushing south. I like how one Chinese Spec Op/Engy actually made it through the map without dying once, but that didn't help out much.

The red horizontal line on the map is your damn border, stick north of it.

-incompetence in some squads, disobeying orders and people with absolutely no situational awareness whatsoever.

Pay attention to the map, fire from cover and stop running after your enemy like an idiot.

A 2-man Humvee rushed Estate and it made it there in one piece, killed all the defenders and the Spec Op in it placed Slams down before getting killed, blowing up the bunker clean off the flag. Speaks for itself.

-lack proper kits/lack of proper weapon usage

No squads had a medic when needed and kept dying when they could be saved, lack of Light AT kits also bothered me.

There was a severe lack of .50 cal usage for suppressive fire.
The most powerful weapon next to Heavy AT in the map and no one uses it??

Also people don't seem to recognize what team cohesion is, no reports of enemies or anything. Of course this is a long term consequence of incompetence and lack of skill

Honestly I wouldn't even mind Heavy ATs to be specifically used on US squads, because US did that near the end when sieging Estate. :/


To sum the round up, the effort to reduce US tickets to the point where'd we start winning was not achieved, but it was close, which is good.
My strategy seems to be spot on and all it needs now is someone to realize it's full potential and use it in-game.

My hopes are that maybe some competent players and TG members go together on PLA on one round of this map and try winning it. I have not seen PLA win this map since 0.75 was released and it would be really nice, if someone would get their stuff together and give it a try.
