Tettet:

Please ask these questions of the developer in the ATF Forum. ProSim will know better than us what the plans are...

Tettet,

The ROK Army is well represented in Raging Tiger. In fact, the premise of the game, surprisingly, is a ROK led preemtive invasion of the North!

The scale is pretty narrowly focused on a few units, so I am not sure if you will see ROK marines. But you will definitely see the K2 tank and, especially in the earlier scenarios, a very heavy presence of ROK battalions.

Yes!Yes!Yes!

Finally a game that not only focus on korea but also the ROK military! This is the first time I've seen anything like this, maybe because korea is often looked down upon. Hopefuly, this game would change all that.

You guys have no limit to your creativity, most people would have made n.korea invade, but you completely changed it around!

Your excitement is encouraging, tettet! Am I correct in assuming you are from the ROK?

Anyway, I'm the lead on Raging Tiger, and I thought the idea of a preemptive strike by the ROK with the newest, latest, and greatest equipment would be an awesome idea, and you obviously agree.

During my tour in Korea, I had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with a number of ROK soldiers and KATUSA soldiers. I believe, given the opportunity, the South Korean soldier can stand up to any soldier in the world!

As for the X2-MBT (current designation), I was hesitant to add it due to a lack of really good pictures. However, I did notice that it has a general feel of an elongated and squashed M1A2 with a longer barrel and a few other small details, so yes, the K2 MBT will be well represented, along with the K1A1, the K1 AVLB, the KIFV/KAFV variant, and the M109A3 Korean Variant. There are a few other little surprises, and I am adding things all the time as I do more research into what MAY be in 6 years or so!

Maybe Pat Proctor will let me release a partial unit listing soon, or maybe even a few screens?!

Time will tell, keep checking here and Warfare HQ for updates and such!

Curt

And thank you for helping to design the game Curt!

I have a question about the game
I am not that seasoned wargamer but I am interested in this game.

However will this game for the hardcore?
For example, William Trotter categorized ATF as a very advanced level game, similar to Uncommon valor.

I am now enjoying a lot of Korsun Pocket but Uncommon valor was too much for me..
Please advise
