This is from a very old post -2015, I am reading the old ones...
I remember threads from years ago both on BF forums and here stating how unnerving it was to see squad leaders among the first to fall in firefights, or getting blasted by artillery.
I've seen an entire flank of a battle jeopardized because an arty shell fell 100m away from an entire platoon, and who went down among the 30+ men in the vicinity? OF COURSE ! my officer !
Is it something that you have noticed as well?
...and this is from BF forum now...
I was testing that the AI was going where it was supposed to go and I decided to send a Rf coy through the woods; only 2 pl came under fire.
Firing from 300m away: 1 AT, 3 HMG and 4 sq -but only 3 LMG, no snipers at all.
Total number of men in those units taking casualties / Total KIA. Total number of leaders-LMG-rifles / KIA.
Moving through the wood.
29/5 L 5/3 60%
LMG 4/1 25% So L+LMG=80% of the -somehow- "selected" less than 33%.
Rf 20/1 5%
38/7 L 6/3 50%
LMG 4/2 50%
Rf 28/2 <10%
38/11 L 6/3 50%
LMG 4/3 75%
Rf 28/5 <20%
58/16 L 8/4 50%
LMG 7/4 >50%
Rf 50/8 <20%
In the wood, not moving not hiding,
61/22 L 9/4 >40%
LMG 8/5 >60%
Rf 44/13 <33%
We have less leaders/LMG so more rifles have to die, still...
Same, under artillery fire.
81/32 L 13/9 ~70% (L+LMG=50% "selected" less than 33%, including an already fallen LMG.
LMG 13/7 >50% Highly intelligent munitions?)
Rf 55/16 <33%
Hoo gets killed first ? squad leaders of course
