users of weapon ID 91 120mm Mesko:
026 - Leopard 2A5 - uClass 013 : slot 1 - Available 05/115 to 12/125
031 - Leopard 2PL - uClass 013 : slot 1 - Available 01/119 to 12/125

A stupendous battle with concise, informative write-up. Congratulations on the DV.

BTW how long in RL terms did this one take? The Bear Strikes (WP) took me about 15 hours. You had about twice as many units with considerably more possibilities to worry about. Cheers!

Thank you jivemi. I actually like making AARs and I want to make them as detailed as possible.

The battle took me about 18 hours in total, I think. It was around 6 days with 3 hours on average/day*. In general around 30-50% of my force was fighting/maneuvering to fight at all times, while the forces that weren't fighting were either idle, or were moved much faster and didn't need too much micromanagement (plus I use hotkeys a lot, which makes thing faster anyway).


*Though I do not include the time it took me to formulate a plan, which was significant in the beginning of the battle, less so during the end.

Its well worth playing for the clash, fair bit of shuttling units involved but okay as forces decisions, could have used the Leos better if had known but plan was pretty much same as Aeraaa.

Faired worse vs the BRMs with the kornets, every shot was a kill, my airforce worked better though got the anti air assets.
Only surviving USA tank was one I sent down to help ATGM teams and take advantage of smoke, had to pull him out and reload had a field day.
Battle for the top of the map was one of those oh were in all sorts of trouble moments, tanks to the left, tanks to the right & theres more.
If you leave playing it a while so you forget this knowledge that initial armour clash will take a good chunk of time as you try to figure out how to survive.
If your one of those people who dont like losing units dont play this things get quite intense.
Good scenerio you just think your getting the upper hand and it all goes horribly wrong.

That was the bloody point with Byelorussians going in unsynchronized - it may be your advantage, but also may be your death sentence if you go to happy <3

Yes thanks you normally manage to throw a spanner in the works. Enjoyable requiring some thought in most cases.
WW3 3 days in one think it was, man that one was hard lot of thought required.
