Pwhahaha.

You're probably the most incoherent, illogical moron I've read on this forum.

Let's organize a community event to do some line fighting battles!

Hops into Liberator

Only bolt action rifles, no scopes, three lines, volley fire.

In every combat there is a front, basicly it is the point of where an advancing (or defending) army has made contact with the enemy and cannot push any futher, not to say that there isn't an atempt such as flanking and jumps behind enemy lines to cereate a breakthrough.

Buggsy is a troll, why do you all respond to him?

Anyhow, why would anyone be afraid of that? if I saw people running in a line I'd see a multi kill :P

Line infantry worked because of a reason as well... the weapons were weak and inaccurate by comparison, the other guys moved 20 people on a line as well, and they didn't know any better.

Today you can guide a 900 pound bomb dropped by a fast moving aircraft to hit the guy in the middle of that line specificly... or have a computer do trajectory calculations for your artillery to clear out your neighbours out house from 300 miles away with 50 pound shells... all detonating at the same time.

No walking on a line for me, thanks.

Muskets may have been inaccurate but they certainly weren't weak. Those things were like mini cannons. In fact most modern guns use smaller caliber bullets.

You could park 5 sunderers next to each other and make a wall of metal.
But the phoenix ruined this.

Yeah and if musket ammuntion had the armor piercing capatbilities of today I'd agree with you.... it doesn't matter though. We have smaller caliber bullets because we have smaller rifles with automatic fire. But show me a musket with a .50 caliber Saboted Light Armor Penetrator round... or a 50 cal Armor Piercing Incendiary round.

Dude, muskets are weak by comparision...

If only i could find a link to Stellerence's old video (INIElite tr player from werner) where he had a line of his outfit outside a tower , and he shot across the line with a lasher orb and killed all of them in 1 shot.

I think we can all agree that SLAP rounds are the definition of badassary. Those are tungsten bullets for those wondering. But civil war and prior fighters had balls of tungsten. Give them our toys and they would whoop our butts.

There is another video I remember seeing back in the day when the lash from the orbs was rediculous. The video had some shots like that. There was also a VS shooting off into the distance and a Cloaker comes right up behind him to stab him and the Cloaker catches some lash from the opposite side of the VSs body and dies. Lol

The only line infantry combat we will see is when the max rush comes.

As many others have said - standing in a line without cover is damned stupid.

You want to talk tactics? Here are the formations that can be used, but each of them is a rough guideline where the general shape is the key, but use of cover and concealment is vital for every individual.
