I'd like to see skirmish like maps, or maps solely with INF and no use of LAT or HAT on either, Light AT can only be used on humvee's support trucks machine gun nests etc. Though I know this is something that could only really be enforced in a PW type event.

I didn't get a chance to participate on the PW Event on Saturday, but something that did spark something in my mind was a Amphibious landing round or 2 of Barracuda.

For Example

APCs used only for Transport, and only the machine gun could be used(I.E. landing craft in WW2, Korea, and the Vietnam War) only L-AT would be allowed to use against the APCs. (Chinese APC if there is one not to be used, or only the machine gun used as a stationary gun)

Boats to be used also for transport, and the Front gun used upon the landing.

Then INF attacks, no LAT to be used on INF, no HAT used at all (transport choppers could then only drop supply crates and only one or 2 fb's could be setup for both sides. ((no manpad's or AA turrets would be allowed)
*even then the possibility of a huey flying over the AO with a gunner on each side shooting (like the m60's on huey transports or on ch-47's)

I.E. One FB or bunker at the start, and one in the middle. (humvees/Nanjings used at Stationary Guns)


But getting back on topic,

I enjoy The Skirmish based maps, and maps used primarily for infantry. Ramiel is a map that uses this type of idea, and it hopefully will garner more use in the map rotation, I have only played barracuda 3 times, twice as Chinese, and once as the USMC on the 16 player version.

I enjoy Kashan 16, but I kind of would like to see Kashan 16 used with only hand held AA's in place, the AA turret is a great option for a FB or Bunker, however sometimes it really takes away from the game as a whole, for example in my research of the recent, and first war in the Gulf, Allied troops were for the most part very easily inserted via Blackhawks and Hueys, not having to worry about being locked on. Sometimes I feel that the skirmish maps, as well as the Armored maps (on both sides, though the US Military has the access to AAV's and uses them in conjuction with infantry) go a little overboard with the use of AA vehicles.

I think that is why Ramiel which is a insurgent map, would make for a great Skirmish Map with the US Vs. MEC.

and in response to Supercobra's post, yes having a BH with 2 engineers (now that it is known that one engineers in a smoking BH can't really do much) and stationed in the Mini guns, can be very lethal when used correctly. I saw this perfected several times, most notably with Default Player, and saber tooth, but also with the 10th guy's on Kashan 16 right before .8 was released.

*All in all I am pleased with .8 and the new type of FPS tactical gaming that has come out of it, TG and and the PR Devs and the PR Admins have continuously done a great job and have made it a great gaming experience.
