RE: [TANKS] Rookie primer

2016-08-10 Thread Derek Engelhaupt 
The "v" shapes (chevrons) are used to designate which platoon the tank
belongs to on US vehicles. May be used for the same function in the Israeli
Army.  The brits have used the chevrons when they are in joint ops with US
forces.  Friend or foe is usually accomplished by CIP (slatted combat
identification panel on the sides of the tank or turret).

RE: [TANKS] Rookie primer

2016-08-10 Thread Loic 
No sure if I have a “say” in this discussion since I’m not coming to the 
battle, but a very practical and simple system is the VELCRO.

 

It has a sticky side, and the Velcro hook/loop on the other side. If you put a 
dark red/dark blue patch on the 1”x1” Velcro, it can be EASILY removed and 
exchanged with the proper color before the battle as the teams are organized.

 

One on the upper right hull corner, one on the rear. Neither on turrets since 
they rotate.

 

One advantage: no recognition on the sides might slow engagement until IFF is 
made (Identification: Friend or Foe). IFF is an actual appendage of real combat.

 

Another advantage: all units have unit markings. Israelis have V shapes in all 
directions. This appendage does not distract from reality

 

 

Flags can fall, especially on underbrush, and exchanging flag color can be 
cumbersome

2016-08-10 Thread Caleb Smith 
Looks good, Doug.  Another way of attaching them is to make a 90* bend with 
a loop on the bottom of the music wire. Just slip the loop under a screw on 
the tank (everybody has a screw on the top of their tank, right?) and 
tighten down. Then you don't have to mess with velcro.

Flags are easy.  Cut up a coat hanger, slap some tape on one end, drill a 
3/32" hole somewhere on the model and there you go.  FYI, I won't be at the 
battle this weekend.  My real estate empire needs my attention this 
weekend.  Hate to miss it.

Re: [TANKS] Rookie primer

1. I like the idea of flags to help newcomers distinguish friend or foe. A 
simple flagpole could be easily fabricated for any tank, and the CD could 
hand out duck tape flags to members of each team. Any interest in this, 
Frank?
2. I don't support the idea of patches or flags to distinguish whether a 
tank is still alive or dead. As someone else said, dead battlers usually 
make the "I'm dead..I'm dead" chant all the way home to keep from getting 
more unnecessary hits. And it's my opinion that most battlers won't take 
the time to tell if your patch is on or not before they start shooting. The 
enemy only makes a mistake for so long.
Looking forward to meeting you at the battle, Jean, and seeing the SU-76 in 
action. The more targe..I mean tanks the better. ;)

And, of course, my personal favorite R/C Tank training video. I think you’ll 
get the message.

Subject: [TANKS] Rookie primer

 

Since we have quite a few new rookies this event, I felt I should share some 
footage of some veteran advanced battle techniques. 

 

To set the stage. Game was Capture the Flag.  There was an impassable river 
between the bases with only 1 river crossing guarded by artillery and hand held 
rocket launcher. You had to gain control of them  first before you could 
venture into the OPFOR area. 

 

We had achieved that goal and had advanced into OPFOR territory.  I was engaged 
quickly. The OPFOR vehicle already had 2 prior hits, in yellow, on it's side.  

 

His attack is shown in real time, and then in slow motion.  All rookies should 
practice teasing the opposition by presenting the vulnerable flank and quickly 
removing said target as your opponents then wastes shots.

Capture the flag game2015 . Last opponent. Need 4 side hits to kill. Already 
has 2 yellow. My hits are in white.
