team size in matches

(ToeD) #1

what do you think the team sizes should be?

i think 7vs7 would be good. the maps may be big. but you dont have to be everywhere. also i think the times should be shortened.

Lets check the numbers (How it should be or how it is in real life):

We should have majority of soldiers, little medics and engineers and very little field and covert operatives:

So I’d say it should be:

3 soldiers + 1 medic + 2 engineers + 1 covert operative + 1 field operative

That is 8.

So 8vs8

(ToeD) #3

why 3 soldiers? 1 is more than enough.
i was thinking more like 4 medics 2 luitenants 1 engineer maybe 1 more medic goes engineer or soldier

(ToeD) #4

luitenant = field ops :wink:

3 soldiers would be more realistic.

Have you seen “Band of Brothers” in it and in real life there is only 1medic for every platoon. That is 1 medic for 30 - 50 soldiers. Supposedly the “team” that is represented in the game is special-op team but still they shouldn’t have more medics than soldiers. That is just stupid.

Yeah.

The “realistic” values would be (for a platoon)(50):

30 soldiers
15 engineers
2 medics
2 field ops
1 covert ops

(For the teams assinged in special operations)
(from my point of view)

(Cosmos) #8

1 Soldier
2 Medics
2 Engineers
2 Covert Ops
1 Field op

= 8 In total. 8vs8.

(Cosmos) #9

LMAO. :smiley:

(Jahuu) #10

Why cosmos??

Why are you LMAO??

Think of this:

Platoon (ca.50men)

1 hq team ca.3 members (covert op + 2 field ops)
+
3 squads of 10 soldiers and 5 engineers and a medic for each squad. (Dependent on the status of the team if pioners for example.)

(Cosmos) #11

Jahuu…

RTCW ET isnt exactly a 50vs50 sided game…

(Jahuu) #12

Yeah it is squad vs squad. (5 - 12)

And the purpose of the my earlier post was to show that there should be much more soldiers than just one.

Well, you start a soldier-only clan and than try to win against a decent FieldOps/Medic dominated clan , goood luck :wink:

This is not about recreating history, this is about fun and trying to win the match. Having a match against a soldier-only group would be boring, they would probably all run around with PF and it would end in a gibb/respawn slugfest :confused:

(bleh) #14

i’d say you’d need two soldiers, atleast the defending team anyway. most maps have two routes to the objective, so you could plant a mobile MG or whatever at each.

What I would like to see is specialists really being specialists I mean currently the best fighter is the medic, (as far as I know) but it should be the soldier.
