Army ROTC Cadet

[Holcomb]

Hello there!

Currently an Army ROTC Cadet at Northern Arizona University. I thought that PR might be a fun training tool so I'm looking for a realistic/milsim unit with training in direct action, tactics, leadership etc. I don't have any preference as I don't know much about the game but I'm respectful and I make it a priority to show up when I make commitments.

I look forward to hearing from anyone!

Thank you in advance,
Gage Holcomb

Never seen a community scroll a linear danger zone, so good luck with the realistic tactics.

You don't seem to be very energetic about the game you've developed. I don't need strict recreation, I'd just like some sort of quasi-military simulation. If I'm gonna be killing time playing video games, might as well invest it in something that could possibly help me.

If you want to learn tactics you're better off reading FMs.

No, really.

On the other hand, if you want to set yourself up to be a good officer while going through university, I'd suggest dragging yourself through some reading lists. The Australian Chief of Army's reading list is particularly well regarded in ABCA militaries because of it's broad and well explained scope:

Chief of Army's Reading List - Australian Army

Edit: The only thing that's missing that I think is particularly important reading for contemporary conflict is Unrestricted Warfare, which is possibly the most important contemporary treatise on non-western warfare.

PR is good for teamwork, communication, meeting people from all over the world.
Military Realism - not so much. But ofc still better than almost any other game.

The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit has a lot to offer to those who love project reality and realism, a combination including structure and tactics.

For realism: it depends how it is implented.
However, discussing if the tactics work in the game is another topic. Here they do work

Jesus guys all he asked for was a Milsim unit to join, no need for your opinions.

We're a milsim unit and have a couple of Veterans that like to play tactically. Don't worry about some of these guys up top, they can't shoot straight anyways

Rabbit has served in Afghanistan. I am fairly certain he can shoot straight, and I think you need to calm your tits.

People gotta remember its still a game

They only way you can hope to gain any experience in PR pertinent to anything military orientated in real life would be the teamwork and communication aspect outside of the game (and to some extent within the game itself).

You will find that leadership here can only provide several tenuous links to anything in real life. People here come to play for fun mostly. Milsim clans are sometimes too engrossed in gaudy hierarchies and tactics that are less than useless in-game.

Your best bet would be to join an active organization that stresses teamwork but doesn't focus too much on milsim style play.

The most important thing you can gain from PR is the knowledge of working with people to achieve certain objectives and tasks. Some communities and clans require out-of-game contribution, in terms of management, administration and planning, and this is another important set of skills you can achieve.

If you wish to train battlefield tactics in PR I suggest you play ARMA games. They are more orientated towards that style of gameplay. Milsim tactics in PR are not conducive to success in this game.

Exactly, nicely put Danger
