- Man, Redline 5 was beyond awesome. These grand TvTs give Big War Feels like no other, and man was it great to try and hold the line against the Soviet advance. The After Action Report system is even cooler, letting me see how terrifyingly close my little humvee came to the entire Red Army.
What unit/clan is this?
This was ArmA Finland, the home of my co-host of the old Bad Frag podcast, Svir. They are an excellent group of scary shadow Europeans who host massive ArmA Team Versus Team games that are some of the best I've ever played. You can find them here: / discord
Are you SovietWomble?
I wish. Video definitely has inspiration from the likes of Soviet and Max0r, but I try to strike a nice line for telling a story, humorous edits and actual gameplay. I try to put out a video every three days, hence why not every single video will be a Fustercluck or not as long or detailed as I'd like. Time constraints are a problem.

AFI Opfor company commander here,
The battle was a Blufor tactical victory because of no decisive Opfor advantage on the final objective at mission end. Rather than a trigger objective, AFI games rely on tactical positioning and controlling terrain either through troop presence or by gunfire. Whoever has the best circumstances and has held or taken their objectives at mission time limit wins.
During the battle our force lost nearly two companies worth of IFVs, something in the ballpark of 10+ BMPs and all but one of our tanks. Half of these vehicles were complete knock-outs or critical kills, even if the infantry survived a majority of the hits to their vehicles. Opfor's infantry casualties totaled up to nearly 100, meaning more than 50% of our initial combatants and follow-on reserves were killed or wounded. Blufor suffered similarly, losing their tank platoon and a majority of their infantry. The violence was intensified by terrain, with the major restricting feature being the mined and obstructed highway in the center that gave Blufor's well positioned tanks excellent fields of fire both north and south of it.
It was bloody work in which grim determination and weight of fire was key.
At the final objective four kilometers into our assault, we simply had no reserves left to commit. The supply depot was held by two battered squad sized forces of Americans that had emptied every magazine they had, had expended all of their anti-tank weapons and were using the bodies of their friends as sandbags. Opfor no longer had cohesion or momentum to continue, yet we'd completed two of our tasks. It just wasn't enough this time.
Blufor's good maneuvers and excellent use of terrain in defense allowed them to succeed against a numerically superior enemy supported by indirect fires. I was hoping the minefield breach in the south would have been our ticket to achieving a quick win, but by sheer luck Blufor's tanks happened to be right there. Had they and a couple of plucky Americans led by a sleep deprived Australian not been there to dance around us with some Patton tanks, we'd have blazed to the second and third objectives in no time flat.
It was by all means a close fought thing and I couldn't have asked for a better game.
Was the artillery you guys called down on the minefield on call or was it limited? I'm also surprised by how unafraid of mines that you guys seemed to be. Especially that armor column that took the road. I would be thinking constantly that there has to be player-placed mines or at least a LAW behind every rock on the side of the road.
@@matchesburn It was off-map controlled by an artillery liaison officer from inside the command BMP. We had 60 artillery shells to expend wherever we desired in the attack area and elected to use it all at once due to the low ammunition quantity.
Prior to committing to the maneuver we'd reconnoitered the area for a period of 15 minutes and had come to the conclusion that the enemy's defenses were weakest at the edge of the minefield and that he was potentially neglecting to guard it. It was true that there was very little infantry, and with no visual confirmation of tanks we elected to go ahead with the southern minefield breach after we'd physically located the edge of it. We knew the rough area it was located because of pre-game intelligence information.
The initial preparatory barrage targeted both the minefield and the assumed enemy defenses behind it and to the east. Our hope was that our heavy artillery would detonate or redistribute the mines. The initial squad sized force pushed across under the cover of this moving barrage and formed a human chain to indicate a safe route through the field, while they're getting shot at, then BMPs rolled through guns blazing and dismounted into depth.
Turns out there were tanks there and my command vehicle was nearly hit by APFSDS that passed through two of the BMPs in front of me. One of them immediately burst into flames. I spent the first ten minutes of active combat laying in a ditch near my command BMP parked in a bush because I was worried the American tank would come back.
@@svir1115 Sounds like a crazy fun time for everyone involved with lots and lots of back and forth fighting.
Insane losses of both equipment and men? Barely able to complete any objectives? Sounds like a victory by Russian standards to me.
This was a very helpful comment, it was kind of hard to follow what Rimmy's title even meant and if the mission made their moves at the start of the video unique or something that the scenario called for them to spawn at

[Shoot from a pitiful range and then prepare to die]
This is actually what was expected of most M47 Dragon teams. Because of the short range and it basically being only slightly less of a giveaway than a gigantic neon arrow sign pointing to you, it was suspected that if Fulda Gap ever went hot that M47 teams would receive some of the worst casualties of all. The fact that it was so lackluster is what gave the impetus to develop things like the FGM-148 (and if you're going "Wait, the Javelin was post-cold war - that can't be right" - consider that the program that would later become the Javelin... started in 1983 and finally went into low scale production in 1989) and to further improve TOW. Dirty little secret is that for most of the latter part of the Cold War, NATO at large had some god awful terrible man-portable ATGM systems. Which is kinda ironic when you consider that the biggest threat after nukes was a tidal wave of Soviet tanks.
Was the soviet portable Anti-Tank Equipment any better than the M47 ?
@@kommissarjupiter7667
Yes and no. The Soviet counterpart (in role and doctrine/use) of the American M47 is the 9K115 Metis/AT-7 Saxhorn which... is almost exactly on par with the M47 Dragon. The main difference is that the Metis can penetrate 450mm+ of RHA whereas the original Dragon missiles could do about 600mm and, also, that the Metis missiles flew just ever so slightly faster. The range is the same. I can't find out when the extended range Dragon missiles came about, if they did at all, which increased the range to 1,500m, but the earliest attempts to upgrade the Dragon happened in 1986 to 1989, making it very late in the cold war.
There's a lot that could be said about the 9M14 Malyutka/AT-3 Sagger which was continuously upgraded from MCLOS to SACLOS and went through so many iterations that you could probably write a book on it. On paper it was a very dangerous and capable ATGM, especially for its time. Reality? MCLOS guidance sucks and the SACLOS variants were vehicle mounted only. It required an EXTREMELY skilled operator to fire them "accurately." Even still, the Israelis learned the hard way that with good operators and use that they were very dangerous initially during the Yom Kippur war. Then, later on, they found ways to literally troll Malyutka operators in order to develop counter-measures that drastically reduced its capability as a man portable system.
AT-4 Spigot/9K111 and (later, an upgraded version) the 9M113 Konkurs/AT-5 Spandrel showcase how far behind the west was in man-portable ATGMs. While the BGM-71 TOW is... technically... man-portable, so isn't a 120mm mortar. And they both weigh similarly and are about just as mobile as each other. That being "a lot" and "not very much at all." The Konkurs/Spigot were different. Both 1970s designs, but both having much longer range than the M47 while being slightly heavier, but still man-portable. Right out of the gate, the original AT-4s had a range of 2,000 meters, and the later Konkurs with a range of 4km. Even further than most TOWs. The Konkurs launcher platform weighs about 23 pounds and has the added benefit of launching both either/or Konkurs or Spigot missiles from the same launcher. Konkurs, especially, is pretty damn frightening with upping the armor penetration to ~800mm of RHA while having a range of up to 4km. Spigot is still pretty impressive with a range of 2-2,500 meters and an armor penetration capability between 400-600mm of RHA. Worse yet, Konkurs is pretty accurate. Like around on the level of TOW missile accurate. With greater range (except outside of some specialized TOW rounds). And capable of being truly man-portable. And the Soviets were doing this the entire time of the early 1980s.
When you look at other ATGMs that aren't man-portable systems... the Soviets again had some impressive systems. We had out airborne M551 Sheridan "tanks" (read: aluminum bathtubs with tracks) that had lackluster 152mm low velocity cannon on it. Which isn't going to reach out very far, and doesn't have the power to kinetically kill much of anything. No problem, we Americans thought! We'll just fire a guided ATGM out of the cannon! Solves the issue of range and power! And... We spent lottsa money developing the MGM-51 Shillelagh for it (and later the M60A2 and MBT-70)... For a missile that didn't work very well at all and had the whopping range of 2-3,000 meters. And only capable of defeating about 400mm of RHA. While were still manufacturing the Shillelagh, the Soviets thought that was a cute attempt and developed the 9K112 Kobra in the early-to-mid 1970s which was also a gun-launched ATGM and had a range of up to 4km and could defeat 600mm of RHA from the original system before upgrades.
Now, granted, it wasn't *_just_* the American military/NATO being dumb (but they were doing that too). There is kinda a demented reasoning behind this. With how many tanks would be involved in the Fulda Gap... and the fact that if it happened it would be WW3 (doctrine of Fulda Gap conflict basically boiled down to "Are the Soviets crossing the border? Yes? Then 3-2-1 keyturn, launch the tactical nukes!" because they realistically didn't see a way to A.) Not have this conflict go nuclear real fast and B.) Have a chance of "winning" without use of tactical nuclear warheads in stopping the Soviet tank zerg) and that there was a bigger emphasis on air support because we had things like the A-10 and AH-1 and later AH-64 and the fact that it would be a defensive war where we would lose a lot of ground real quick... I can kinda see why it wasn't their top priority to have really good man-portable ATGMs. They really had much, much more important things to worry about. That isn't really a defense for not trying, however.
@@matchesburn I will point out that NATO doctrine essentially sacrificed half of mainland Europe to buy time and that any real ground positions were expected to be overrun. When you understand that you, more or less, "can't" win a fight, why sink more money into it?
@@AlvorReal
I said just about as much in my earlier reply.
As someone whos dad was a tanker, stationed in that exact part of West Germany in the late 70s, that's pretty tough. I mean, the inside of an M60 Patton is definitely safer than on foot yeah, but he was still at Ground Zero of any theoretical fighting
This entire video can be summed up in: "I did that?"

blufor: nooooo you cant just blow up our minefield before it blows you up!
opfor: haha artillery go *PEW.*
Ya know, there was a bit of dust-up in Afghanistan where a Battalion Commander was super focused on a 2 company-strength air assault that encountered no resistance. Meanwhile, a platoon that got placed in blocking position ended up engaging something like 3 times their numbers. As they were fighting, the Battalion Commander pulled the platoon's air support and artillery to support the air assault mission which had encountered no resistance and had no need for the extra support. This kinda reminded me of that.

It’s actually funny how it mirrors the Winter War, after the initial shock of the Soviets invading, the Fins became a huge pain in the balls to the Soviets despite having way smaller forces. The only difference is that the Soviets ditched the multiple attacks just for one large charge.
Finn translation: there is weapon boxes by the way so truck would you go and get them and there should be 2 for each team. well it's not perfect trans lation from finn to eng but i tried

Ah, the Finns. Second most sympathetic Axis sympathizers.
EDIT: I should have figured that this would start shit. Anyway, what I meant by Axis sympathizer was the fact that Finland was forced into an uneasy alliance against the Allied powers due to Soviet imperialism, similar to how Ireland was in a similar situation via British imperialism. Small nations have little choice in how they can act when surrounded by superpowers. Now stop arguing.
EDIT (EDIT): Ireland is the first. *Tiocfaidh ár lá*
