Right, then comes friendly fire. Now, one this game is US Based. There are US Weapons and personel, so they should use US Tactics regardless. Yes, US tactics are more complicated, but thats why we are so good. If you move in a column, you have no way to quickly put fire to the front. So you would quickly be suppressed and there would be no way to get you other squads on the flanks. Now, my number 2 guy in USM, was Army. He taught me everything I know. I was teaching other people squad tactics at the age of 14, and I now can teach up to platoon tactics at the age of 17. So if you pay attention when they are being taught, you will pick them up fast.

I think it would be neat if BIS looked at all the mods. They voted on if they would add to the realism of the game. Then, if it's approved, it gets added in an update. That way people dont have to go get it. I just got OFP, and there are no normal games. All of them have mods on I have no clue where to get them. It should be a bit more user friendly to create an even larger community.

Formation Hopes: Ranger File (Column) Stack Wedge Line Tactical Formation (Staggered Column) Vee Formation Echelon (Left and Right) Those are squad/ fireteam formations. On top of that you can have wedges in wedges for platoons. You can also have 2 squads (all in small wedges with 4 men) create echelon right a lefts to create a Vee formation with a platoon. The creates a pinsor attack helping to catch the enemy in a cross fire. THis also leaves the enemy an escape route. I really hope they worked close with marines and army personel on formations and tactics.

Okay, im from USM squad (www.usmsquad.com). We train on US Army, Marine, and Navy SEAL tactics. No joke, We have 2 former army solidiers and one currently serving in Iraq. One of which is related to a Ranger and Navy SEAL (Yes they have documentation). Alot of what we train on are formations. So when you say "formations are worthless" you are 100% wrong. Formations keep soldiers alive, from ranger file, to wedge formation, to the stack, and tactical formation. And those are your squad formations. As you add other squad the formations require flank security and other squads are on stand-by to the rear to flank.
