Only guns I need... Brother

During TFA FTX 05-18, while setting up the Company HQ hostages at the first safehouse: Capt Makowski, using the pointing gesture in my face: "Got your nose!" Capt Makowski, using the pointing gesture in SgtMaj LaPrade's face: "Got your nose!" While setting up the hostage scenario at the end: SSgt Kozak, roleplaying as a hostage taker: "OK, do you guys have anything in your vests or uniforms? Cable ties?" Capt Makowski: "Just Ray's and LaPrade's noses." SSgt Kozak, after 10 seconds of stunned, confused silence: "I fucking hate you." Bonus round: SSgt Kozak, driving his 3 hostages around in a GaZ, decides to randomly park the GaZ next to foliage along the road, then says: "I am bush."

@Sgt Carrendar channeling his inner boot

Looks a lot like the groupchat I had with @Capt Makowski and @HMCS (FMF) Parker.

I have a unique perspective where until a week or two ago I have pretty much Zeused every mission but my own since September. I've also been a CSO, Element Leader, Team Chief and now Team Leader. As S-2 OIC: I see people doing stupid shit all the time. Bad tactics, bad coverage, real simple stuff. Biggest advice: slow down. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. When I see stupid things, I sort of see the reason why having things like more realistic damage and more punishing medical systems is good. If you don't have a punishment for doing stupid shit, what's stopping you? If Zeuses were out to punish and truly win, we'd be able to absolutely fuck up a lot of task forces. As Team Leader (and compiling my experience on every level of ground): It's very easy for me, Company and so on to watch from the back of the formation (or even better, Zeus) and say "C'mon guys, lock this shit up and don't get shot", when obviously the truth is much more grey than that. Harsh stamina and medical systems I found to be more aggravating than encouraging. I've said before in similar threads that I'm here for realism in tactics and procedures, not for realism in gameplay consequences. This is still true, but I do see the need for those gameplay consequences on a fundamental level. Combining my thoughts from above with this, I think instead of pursuing this level of technical punishment, we should be pushing ourselves at every level of leadership to be better at tactics and procedures, which is what we're all actually here for. If Battalion, Company, Team HQs and Element Leaders can't slow down and iron out the basics to the intermediate, we have bigger problems than harsher consequences can fix. Carrot before the stick in this case. On CASEVACs Really cool for JTACs, pilots, flight medics. Really sucks if you're a CSO who flashed themselves and took a rifle round because a door was open on your screen but wasn't actually in game logic. Very few people on ground want to be told "oh yeah you're technically good but we're flying you back to base for immersion". Frankly we take too many casualties and our air-ground interaction is not at the point where this can be evenhandedly implemented.

Having been on the reciveing end of the new feature, whitout being told it was an implemented feature. I can say that it add nothing to the fun aspect of the game. It is 100% annoying and frustrating and should be binned yesterday.

We could counter act the limb damage issue by introducing a medical vehicle into our ops as a mobile hospital of sorts and have it so wounded have to be transported to the vehicle so they can get stitched up or PAKed.
