Games

Well, after quite some deliberation, I made my decision last night: I will not resign from the [SAS]. Irregardless of what comes next, I can’t walk away from [SAS] so easily; any more then I could walk away from the love of my life (It’s often been my point of view, that if I could put up with this much shit from SAS, if I got married, my wife would never have to worry about me leaving her — hence the reference lol). By all the probabilities that can be weighed, I’m more or less expecting to be let down by my commanders this time around, but hoping GCHQ still proves me right in the long run. That issue resolved, I guess I can [digitally] burn my prelude to resignation letter (unsent) and move onto the other sectors of my life; which do need some dedicated thought. If I can invoke such methodically precise thoughts on tactical matters, and in programming issues, why not put the brain towards improving life?

to get done:

finish release of SAS Skins v3 for S4:TSS and SAS Personal Uniforms v1 (with installers). -> TO NIGHT WOULD BE NICE.

Get screen shots of Element, 4-5 men, linear and column stacked.

Finish final edits on the SOP rewrites pending to be sent spamward to GCHQ.

Bagger Random until he’s sent me GCHQ’s edits to those that have been sent in.

Oh what joy grammer correction will be =/

post in T&T forum about RvS ‘plan’ day.

Schedule my S4 Training Session ‘from hell’ day hehe.

Normally I’ll keep one FMJ and one JHP weapon on me at all times, in case I need to shoot through some thing or NOT shoot through it.

My kit,

Helmet, No Armour.

H&K G36C Entry Carbine, 5.56x45mm FMJ.

Glock Model 17 Pistol, 9x9mm JHP.

3x Flash Bang, 1x CS Gas, 1x Sting grenades and C2 package.

Fresnal Station was the map, most targets only have shirts or coats on, no body armour.

On average it took at least 4 rounds from my G36 to put down the target. Using my Glock it was an average of 2 rounds -> and I normally try to fire a tap into the targets high centre of mass and follow up with a tap to their head/neck.

The G36 is much more powerful then the Glock, but because of the JHP Ammo the Glock was a lot more powerful and effective against the enemies on Fresnal then the G36 with its FMJ ammo.

I’ve generally found in SWAT4 that it’s usually worth while to switch to FMJ/JHP depending on if the enemy has armor or not. My only complaint is that the JHP tends not to penetrate a GAS MASK to well… Not good when I have a habit of relying on head shots to make sure the target is going down hard (kill shot) when I’m firing at close range (1-2 metre).

I suppose it’s better then Raven Shield through…. 3 Round Burst, MP5/10A2 (10mm) with JHP and all 3 rounds hit the window but won’t hit the tango behind it unless you do a 1..2.3 firing, e.g. 1 shot to break glass and a staggered followup shot(s) to hit the tango as the glass finishes breaking.

A good nights rest followed by morning errands and the usual first on stuff I don when I log on my computer.

Around 1400-1800 local I ran some training. I hope people learned from it, personally I feel like I tend to get a bit of a boring ‘professor windbag’ nature in spots… But that’s just my opinion lol. We covered T-Junctions, Intersections (in less detail), and I showed them all 3 methods in the SOP’s — usually we only teach one. But hey, if I’m doing a training session where T-Junctions are the focus, I’m bloody well going to try and show them all the elements of it! As long as people are interested in learning it.

We also got to try an idea I had awhile back about leapfrogging through a hallway with an opening in the side. Some thing I’d like to include as a standard method of movement if the Damocles Project ever goes green. It worked quite well one we tried it and did it a couple times so every one understood how to do it. But as we all found out, unless every one knows what they are doing it’s to hazardous lol -> Perfect subject of rmembers focused training xD.

I also got to talk/show them a bit about exposure and movement. Like, if your moving down a hallway and an enemy was to walk into the hallway a head of you. Where do they see first? Where will they see last? And that’s the spot you want to be standing hehe.

Also worked a bit on Double tapping, I’ve never really trained on that before, to be honest I think I never trained any one else in some of the things we did today lol. Unless you count my self or a few on the fly demostrations. I think the shooting sid ewent ok, it’s still felt a little odd though. For me learning it was some thing I did during my other training, not some thing that I did especially.

Joined the boys for a few rounds in TG#3 aftewards before Dinner and got to enjoy the usual problem. In this case, between My mother, the phone, the TV, the Dog, the yelling/shouting of SWAT4, and Random I couldn’t figure out what the heck we were doing loool.

Double helpings of pasta and meatballs for supper and a brownie so this is a good day lol, any one that includes pasta… hehe.

I could think of some thing that would really help me finish off the day right, but I know it’s not a factor so no need to torture myself…

As for tomorrow, ether training or a live op int he SWAT4 dept depending on whose online and when hehehe.

Time to think of my lesson plan a bit for tomorrow. I’m hoping to do some work on T-Junctions, Intersections, and Hallways in RvS.

I’ve only got 2 good stock maps in mind for it and one custom that’s on the server. That I think would be great since it has plenty of areas we could use. I just need people in the training session who have the bloody map installed before I can use it =/.

I can also use the time to do a little drilling on shooting techniques

I’d like to do some stair well drills but there are no good stair wells in RvS, most are safe tactically…. Which is good because most are so glitchy you’d be dead if you had to get in a shoot out going up/down all the time.

For SWAT4 I’m not sure what I’m going to be doing when it comes to maps.
