reasons why C&C games does not releate real life.
-
To several people here who play C&C, this is not an insult(i personally play it myself) but understanding that most computer games does not reflect real life. You need not be in the army to know this, i'm onli ncc, many history books and diaries by several forer generals tells you what a real war is like.
Computers games are meant to be fun, not about being real, or it may not be fun at all and the company cannot earn money. Also, ideas in RA is being ridiculous, being able to built your own tanks and army, airfoce and navy all in one. Games like this are simple and does not make much use of actual tactics and stragety. Reason is that if u are a general or admiral, you manage your own unit, saying navy fleet or a army division. You do not get the chance to built tanks and ships, if you want to built things so much , I would say sim city is just for u. In real life, you are onli allowed to used the things you have for example, a navy admiral in command of a carrier battlegroup and how to make use of it.
Beside that, you must understand that a general does not command everything, example like at tactical level, take cover, attack that building in a huge city and cover this unit. In real life, your units can think, and if you interfer too much there will be confusion. As a commander, you make descicision like strike which city, how to reach your objective, should you strike now or later, big decision not small ones.
People also would not be willing to lose a game, because it is between lige and death, you and your force can be captured or killed, this may affect you entire country, you are commanding living people, making stupid decision could be killing them. Also, there is no such things like infranty deploying and killing tanks with normal rifles or machines guns.
Super weapons is also not like what you see in computer games, like onli damaging enemy base, nukes can destoy the entire map and even larger and if you are fighting an enmy also with nukes or WMD, they could send the nukes back at you or your country.
You can't just anyhow sent enemy troops to an enemy base so easily and go inside it. a base is carefully planned and is diffcult to go inside it and wreak destrustion on it nor does a group of tanks aiming a single infranty. You also need to consider how could you capture or destroy enemy base with the least lost. In actual combat, if you capture enemy base with too much loss, you don't just win the war, your force can be weak tired and unable to fight. enemy reinforcement could eadily come and destory your entire force after capturing a base. You would also be wasting your resources .
Another thing is you must know of logistic, how your forces get ammo or weapons and food supplies. unlike computer games, you can't just sent a single infranty far from your base and start killings tons and tons of enemy just because it is a hero unit like tanya and col. bruton. They are bound to run out of ammo sometime at this rate, soon a rela life unit will run out of ammo and got killed. You must therefore consider if you are sending your forces to places far away from your base, how to you supply them and not make them fight on their own.
Like a fleet that need supply ships and fuel in long jounery and mid-air refuelling for long distance flight.
I'm not saying that I am a expert on this matters just how I view about war-releated games. I too enjoy this games but I really hope others can understand this as well.

The major "problem" with games are that when your army gets wiped out, you can restart from a saved point - in real life, there's no option like it.
In some games, you are given a few lifes, and therefore you can die a few times. And even if those lifes are not enough, you can restart the game. How does that related to real life? -
....
The biggest joke about these games is that u make more tanks and you win the war.
No, war is won with infantry. -
the other thing is that you can own a tank factory and build as much tanks as you want, and a single barracks that can produce tens of thousands of soliders, these games are the larger your army, you win the game, better tanks or more experinced troops had no affect.

Because if theres such a thing called the chronosphere, muehehahahaha.

No the biggest joke is that it create some morons who after playing it think they are expert in warfare.Originally posted by Nelstar:....

still need guards to operate mah...Originally posted by ditzy:Why do we need guard duty when we can have THE OBELISK OF LIGHT?! -
Can't edit them in text format either.Originally posted by the.raven:whats your point? everyone knows that games are not real. Hell, you cant save and load in real life too. -
oooh, my bad.Originally posted by the.raven:still need guards to operate mah... -
to tell and remind certain people that they are not a good real life general just because they are good at it...Originally posted by the.raven:whats your point? everyone knows that games are not real. Hell, you cant save and load in real life too.
i would rather prefer games like american army, maybe singapore could create a game called singapore army, more realism in AA. -

The activity rate is definitely going much higher then expected...
As a former science student...obelisk of light is less then 50 years away.
All we need to have is to be able to use a prism..to direct a high-concerntrated laser beam onto 1 particular area.
To identify friendly and foe , very simply , we could use a body temperature 37 degrees thermal heat sensor..
if enemy comes..they would most likely be in...normal uniform..
where-else , our troops would be in "heat-absorbent coats" ...
So it provides for the Enemy identification..
Suggest we have a rotating type of "sensor" to pack a even more powerful punch..
A computer-programmed PAC-III missile launcher recently shot down a Panavia GR-2 British Tornado Aircraft last year... -
I can't snipe for sh|t in cs, spray and pray seems to work best for me.Originally posted by the.raven: whoa then someone who can frag 50/0 thinks he is super sniper in real life how? -
sekali some CS pro go NS he say "I'm marksman pro, I can use AWP in CS"Originally posted by ditzy:I can't snipe for sh|t in cs, spray and pray seems to work best for me. -
When given the real thing, he went:"Where do I plug in the mouse?"Originally posted by the.raven:sekali some CS pro go NS he say "I'm marksman pro, I can use AWP in CS" -
no he goes like "where to buy ammo?"Originally posted by ditzy:When given the real thing, he went:"Where do I plug in the mouse?"
and then "I shot my target, how come I never get money?" -
hmm...
yeah, games don't relate to real life... at least not directly.
Still... the SAF's new Future Systems Directorate is experimenting with games like Amreica's Army etc... for military training...
There's an article on it at their website:
