1. Zaka and Rosie were still positioned quite well and there were still explosives on the rail bridge which did not detonate. I do not think that the tank does have a sonar and relieves on information that is coming from the troops so they had the best option to destroy the tank. 2. We do not know where exactly Isara and Ramal were positioned but they also had a good position to take a shot at the "Esel". This would be a stalemate if Gregor would be hanging on his life. 3. Wait a bit longer until the Largo brought the hostages into safety. This would mean that the resistance and squad 7 would fought their way out. As you can see there are three option what could have been done. Option one is the most I prefer because it takes the less casualties if it would success. I do not say that you cannot prevent casualties but you have always to keep it low. especially if they are civilians. War is always dirty. You are correct. But war should always be fought between soldiers.

.... Right. So Telemark never happened. Sure. Seriously, calling history BS just because it contradicts your belief of war?

Idealism is not 'how things turn out' it's what you aim to do. The mission to fouzen was an idealistic mission. Save the laborers, destroy the train, free fouzen. It didn't turn out that way, but that doesn't mean the mission isn't an idealistic one. Does that mean the mission was 'wrong?' |

In answer to the second, it's because the media will rape them and the politicians, the politicians will then go on to rape the command structure of the army, who will subsequently send the rape down the command chain until the grunt soldiers are the ones hurting most of all. So to spare themselves from rape, they do all they can to keep the media monkey off their backs, even if it means getting more friendly soldiers killed to do it. After all, killing other people's soldiers is bad, but getting your own soldiers killed is A-okay in the media's books. What? You thought it was for some idealistic reason? Heck no. Armies all over the world learned the hard way that the media is your one way ticket to losing a conflict from the Vietnam War. |

I am not joining in this debate but in regards to Alicia, Faldio sure is a jerk. I get that he sees his chance because anime Welkin is completely out of it at all times, but the way he repeatedly flirts with her right in front of him, almost like he's doing it on purpose, is annoying. (If he is actually doing it on purpose to knock some sense into Welkin fine, but otherwise, jerk.)
Glad I played the game before seeing that opening. Glad I didn't watch the game's opening either as that is an even bigger spoiler than this. |

Media censorship would be vital in a serious war. 'Nam was the first time the media played a really big role in the whole mixture, but even without them, the US would most likely not have won anyway.

I do agree with this but the fact of the matter was, the Imperials had already involved the the Citizens in the first place. It was basically a concentration camp. The Imperials had brought in innocent citizens, forced labor on them, shot at them as they tried to escape, then used them as meat shields. The citizens were in it whether they wanted to be or not.

And it's a huge gamble because that'd mean giving Gregor the time he needs to find and kill everyone which was what he was doing. Quote:

Sorry but that what you are telling is an epic fail. Pinpoint attacks are mostly done because of the following reason: - Cut off the troops command line > HQ down means the troops have to rally new - Reduce civilian casualties to a minimum > Rules of engagement and Geneva convention - Reduce own troops deployment and combat engagement > save own soldiers and waste of material and tax money invested for military assignments.

They don't have cellphones/radios. All of the groups have been acting independently. So assuming Zaka could've done what you suggested, there's nothing stopping Faldio from going through with his command because he doesn't know what he's doing or planning. However, Zaka only cried out because he was already out in the open and Isara moved there to engage the tank so he was able to tell her to aim properly but that was during the Tank's lag time. The fact that the tank was still operating its weaponry means that it was still capable of defending itself. Quote:
