Pennyworth (DayZ) 33 Posted September 17, 2012 Nope i stick by my statement, the British Army is the best army in the world.False.Bears beat battlestar galactica...Also the CDN army is the greatest army by far.. disagree? Go read a world war 1-2 history book. Although the Americans will argue that dropping an atom bomb makes them the greatest army at the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoodGrief 21 Posted September 17, 2012 Like anyone wants tactical advice from someone with a gay pony as their avatar.lol i wasnt sure what that was about then till i google pony then saw pony porn suggestion..wtffirstly anyone can proclaim anything online. Shit I could have started out this message by recalling my own extensive military experience (which did or did not happen.. ?) secondly the british army is a joke. thirdly being a foot soldier in the army is where you go when you are a failure. fourthly, even if said pony guy had the experience it wouldnt be relevant to this game, hacked as it is or otherwise. conclusion? this pony guy logged out at 3:20am Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puppetworx 474 Posted September 17, 2012 OP I'd like to know how to make a visual sweep of large areas. Generally what I do is find a high vantage point and pull out my binocs, but what if the area is mostly flat forrest - what is the most efficacious method of sweeping in this situation? Others' opinions are welcome too. It's like the Bay of Pigs all over again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

- Valkyrie - 89 Posted September 17, 2012 This man is offering his help. And the one that says that being a foot soldier is bad and you need to be brainless. Go ahead buddy, ask those that survived on the very first front line if they did actually think and use military tactics to come back alive. So yeah, I wouldn't say you have to be a failure to be in the infantry.Now, this thread is being ruined by twelve year old's arguing about which dick's bigger. That's again, another failure of humanity.95 out of 100 people you argue with on the forums and internet in general, are retards and self proclaimed experts about pretty much any topic they come across. So yeah again, not much to say here.Flame away mongols. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rekrul 91 Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) OP I'd like to know how to make a visual sweep of large areas. Generally what I do is find a high vantage point and pull out my binocs, but what if the area is mostly flat forrest - what is the most efficacious method of sweeping in this situation? Others' opinions are welcome too.High vantage points are really bullet magnets. I mean, you want to have higher ground on your target, but your siloutte will kill you. Your siloutte is your worst enemy when it comes to being invisible. Also, everyone looks at higher ground. As for visual sweeps, and this might be outdated, make a snake pattern starting close to you and work away from you. Non-moving players are basically impossible to see as the human is a predator and is programmed to pick up on movement, unless their wearing colours that are in contrast to the background.One constant mistake I see my paranoid friend do, is to stop in the middle of open area to sweep. (Not open fields but open areas in forrests etc). Don't do that, get some cover like a tree or rock so you're less likely to stick out. You'll also have some protection if you're caught under fire.Edit: I forgot to add that your goal is relevant here. Are you looking for targets or are you trying to avoid being one? If it's the first, we're down to equipment. Do you have a sniper rifle, or short range weapon. What's your advantage compared to your target? Set yourself up to use that advantage. I.e. if you have a sniper weapon you don't want CQB (and reversed). Same thing with avoiding being a target, but here you're moving and are more visible, so move in forrests with limited firelanes and visibility.
