Well our clan is making videos of our training exercises around Chernaus and we though of sharing them with you guys, see if you wanted to take anything from them.

Lesson 1: FIBUA (Fighting in Built up Areas)

Part 1: Storming the School.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, exercises they would like to see then please feel free to leave them here :)

Enjoy!

Haven't watched, but beans anyhow for the effort.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't include my close up fighting techniques either.

(storming a snipernest with an inventory of grenades and a backpack full of tincans was quite fun. thanks to the team laying suppressing fire, we pissed those guys off a treat.)

Ha ha thanks, and no that doesn't sound like one of my offensive tactics but doesn't mean i wouldn't use it!

Way to Complicated, all you need is one person to run in as fast as he can so he doesn't get shot, run into a room, and sound whore for another player. Takes less then 30 seconds and less gear to lose.

Running though the backdoor shouting "I BRING THEE PINEAPPLES! :D" before killing everything in the room (including myself) was one of the funniest moments i've had in DayZ.

Been considering using it as a tactic in standalone if i can get Dambusters playing over direct chat.

anyhow i'm derailing your thread already! sorry!

But this is aimed at groups, fair enough send one man in but he comes across 2 guys crept up in the corner of a room then you can kiss your player goodbye, using the overlap technique as in the video it allows a complete room sweep with a smaller chance of being the target yourself..

Also at any point the squad can take up positions and be able to defend the building as a strong fireteam, pretty hard to push through and almost impossible to defeat.

It seemed slow for your manpower. Also it doesn't seem that you have any exterior coverage. A lot of bunching up opens you up to sniper spam or a nade.

I'm just nitpicking though, overall it's a sound way to clear a building.

Yeah it was only the 3rd run, after a bit more practice it will be quicker.

I agree with some of the problems, exterior protection can be implemented with larger numbers or breaking the 3rd fire team off to provide cover, i was just teaching them all at once the routine.

Once it's perfected it is as you said a sound manouver and pretty quick too, good for flushing enemy out.

Have several man covering outside doorways, and you honestly don't need an entire squad to loot a building at a time. If you were, you could have your group check several rooms at once instead of just sitting there while one person does it at a time.

Again this is just a training video, i was taking the whole group through the routine, but it easier with smaller groups though in my experience alot easier to hold the place down with more men placed correctly
