negah 26 Posted October 19, 2017 First and foremost, you will die, A LOT, its like Dark Souls with rifles and tanks, just that OFP/ArmA was there before Dark Souls. Forget running and gunning playstiles of games like CoD and BF. Staying crouched and/or in cover increases your chances of survival. If you get under fire and survive the first shots, hit the ground and back down or sprint to the next cover. Some missions where you are a simple grunt among many others like you can be won without firing a single shot and even without seeing the enemy at all. On maps with a lot of foliage, firing in the general direction of where the enemy could be is a viable tactic, unless you are low on ammo. Its perfectly normal to finish a mission killing only 2-5 enemies, if any at all. Listen to what the AI bots say, they can spot the enemy quite well. When you are the commander, order your squadmates to hold fire, wait until they aquire their targets or assign them yourself, then order them to open fire. You can split your group in two teams and let one advance while the other gives cover. You can order your AI teammates to go to specific corners around buildings, that can make urban combat much easier. Thats the most basic stuff, there is really REALLY tons of information on how to get better at this game, I suggest to read some tutorials or watch some youtube videos. Reading up on some actual infantry tactics, especially on combat in urban terrain is not a bad idea as well. Play around in the editor, place some friendly and enemy units and just run it, that way you can try different tactics and scenarios quickly wihout playing through long and complex missions.
