Click on an image to unblur it.For the benefit of people who don’t have a lot of time to read, I’m going to list a short version of my proposals in bullet points after this paragraph. However, if you have the time, I strongly suggest reading this answer in its entirety because it explains the proposals in fairly granular detail. The proposals are nuanced because gun control is a complicated issue when looked at objectively.Standardize on a process which flags individuals in the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database for a delay in the background check process when said individuals try to buy a gun. During the three day delay period, the FBI has the opportunity to investigate and take legal action against the individuals if necessary.Create a secure electronic background check system which is available to the public so individuals selling firearms to residents of the same state can know whether it is safe to proceed with a transaction.Require membership in the Civilian Marksmanship Program for the purchase of semiautomatic centerfire weapons and centerfire magazines with more than ten rounds of capacity.Create a national permitting process for carrying concealed handguns which overrides state laws.The Gun Control Act of 1968 mandated that manufacturers and commercial sellers of firearms had to obtain a Federal Firearms License (FFL). This was done under the guise of regulating interstate commerce, trade which crosses state lines. The federal government is generally not allowed to regulate intrastate commerce, trade which remains entirely within a state. In 1994, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act mandated that FFL holders had to perform a background check on any firearm transferred through the FFL to a individual who does not hold an FFL. In 1998, this process was streamlined into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).With that in mind, we’re going to look at how firearms are legally purchased currently so we can have a perspective on potential improvements to the process.When buying a gun through an FFL, buyers must fill out BAFTE form 4473. I strongly recommend readers view the form. Buyers must submit valid photo identification (usually a driver’s license) to the FFL holder to verify their identity and some of the information on their form 4473. There are three categories of firearm which can be bought through a standard FFL dealer: handguns, long guns (rifles and shotguns), and “other firearms”. Buyers must be 18 years of age to buy long guns and 21 years of age to buy handguns from an FFL. “Other firearms” are a weird category which includes receivers for firearms (which is generally the serialized portion of a firearm) or firearms which do not fit the legal definition of a handgun or long gun but are also not regulated by the National Firearms Act. If the “other firearm” can be made into a pistol, the buyer must be 21 years of age. After a buyer has completed their form 4473, the FFL holder calls NICS and relays the completed information to the FBI.Source: (NICS Process in Motion for the Gun Buyer Video Transcript)The FBI runs the information through the NICS database. If the buyer’s provided information has matches within the NICS database, this will generate a “hit”. At the moment, hits include indictments and convictions for felonies, indictments and convictions for domestic violence, indictments and convictions for other crimes which are punishable by one or more years of imprisonment, known fugitives, dishonorable discharges, adjudications which determined an individual to be mentally defective, restraining orders for children or intimate partners, renouncements of citizenship, unlawful users of controlled substances, illegal aliens, and resident aliens who do not meet very specific criteria.If no hits in the NICS database are generated, the FFL is told to “proceed” and the FFL may complete transferring the firearm at the business’s discretion. If the buyer’s provided information generates a hit, the call will be transferred to an FBI employee who will review the information and determine whether the hit matches the rest of the buyer’s provided information. If the hit is valid and the buyer is a prohibited purchaser, the FFL will be told to “deny” the transfer. If the FBI employee determines the hit is invalid, the FFL will be told to “proceed”. If the FBI employee can not immediately determine the validity of a hit, the FFL will be told to “delay” the transfer and the FBI will do more research to determine the validity of a hit. At this point, the FBI is allotted three business days to tell the FFL to “proceed” or “deny”. If those three business days pass without a final judgement, the FFL may proceed with the transfer at their discretion. The system is set up this way so the FBI can not delay a buyer they can not prove is a prohibited possessor of firearms indefinitely, essentially amounting to a denial without due process of law. Nevertheless, some FFL holders maintain a policy of not proceeding with transfers which have do not receive a definite “proceed”; that is the business’s prerogative.If at any point in this process the FFL holder or its employees believes a buyer is purchasing a firearm on behalf of another person, then the FFL will deny the transfer independent of any judgement made by the FBI. Purchasing a firearm on behalf of another person is illegal.Now what about “internet gun sales”?Websites in the business of selling firearms are legally required to acquire an FFL. Since the website which holds an FFL can not visually verify a buyer’s identity, this means the firearms they sell are legally required to be transferred to an FFL near the buyer. At the FFL which facilitates the transfer, the buyer will be required to complete a form 4473 and go through a background check as described above.On auction sites which deal with firearms, buyers and sellers who do not hold FFLs will submit the information of an FFL near each party and arrange for the firearm to be transferred. The seller’s FFL will ship the firearm to the buyer’s FFL and once again the buyer will complete a form 4473 and go through a background check.The final category would be classified websites which allow firearms to be posted for sale. These are essentially the 21st century equivalent of posting a classified advertisement in a newspaper. In these cases, a buyer contacts the seller who posted the advertisement and the two parties enter negotiations. If the buyer and seller legally reside within the same state and are able to meet face to face to conduct a transfer, the firearm in question may be legally bought under federal law without a background check being conducted provided the seller does not have reason to believe the buyer is a prohibited possessor. If any of those conditions are not met, or if state law prohibits intrastate commerce in this fashion, then FFL holders must once again be involved. These conditions apply to all private person to person sales. One noteworthy quirk, under federal law, persons between the ages of 18 and 21 are not prohibited from purchasing a handgun through a private sale. This is in fact one of the very few ways citizens in this age group can exercise their constitutional right to possess handguns.What about gun shows?If a person buys a firearm from an FFL participating in a gun show (this constitutes the majority of firearm sales at gun shows) then a 4473 is filled out as normal. If a person is buying a firearm from a private party, laws regarding private sales apply. Think of gun shows simply as a way for people who might be interested in buying or selling firearms to all be in the same place at the same time. There’s nothing sneaky or tricky about them, they literally happen in convention centers and on fairgrounds. Local police and BATFE agents are always present at gun shows.Now that we have all that basic information out of the way, we can talk about actual changes to federal law.First let’s take a look at prohibiting suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms. We can all agree we hate terrorists, but they still have due process rights. Fortunately, the FBI is in charge of both the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) and the NICS database. Prospective gun buyers with records that produce a match in the TSDB could generate a hit in the NICS database. The FBI could then investigate the hit and, assuming the hit actually matched the buyer in question, determine whether or not to tell the FFL to delay the transfer. Within the current three day delay window, the FBI could bring the case before a judge. Should the judge find probable cause, the transfer could be legally halted. At this point the buyer should be notified and be interviewed as part of the investigation. If charges are appropriate, the FBI can file charges in a timely manner. Otherwise, the suspect should be allowed to go about their business without further interference. That puts a lot of burden on the FBI, but it isn’t supposed to be easy to legally strip citizens’ rights in the United States. Remember, the burden of proof always lies upon the accuser, not the defendant.One rather common gun control proposal in the United States is that of universal background checks on all firearm sales, including private intrastate sales. On a practical level, compliance and enforcement of a universal background check would be very difficult without some kind of national firearm registry linking specific firearms to their owners. No national firearm registry exists for regular rifles, shotguns, or pistols at the moment and it’s actually illegal to create one because of the Firearm Owners Protection Act passed in 1986. There remains a visceral fear of a firearms registry among many conservatives; the concerned parties believe that all firearm registries are nothing more than a precursor to the total confiscation of all firearms. This belief is objectively refuted because numerous firearm registries in multiple US states and democratic countries as well as a national registry on firearms regulated by the National Firearms Act exist and have not been precursors to a total confiscation of all firearms. However, many conservatives latch onto the words of a select handful of extremist politicians who espouse a desire for confiscation as proof that confiscation is the inevitable result of all registries.With all that being said, what might be feasible as an alternative to a universal background check is creating an online version of form 4473 so the public could voluntarily conduct background checks without going to an FFL. This is actually something most gun owners want because, at the moment, there’s no way of conducting a background check for a private intrastate sale in most states without involving an FFL. Involving an FFL introduces a financial disincentive because FFLs are businesses and usually charge for their services. I’ll propose the best system I’ve thought of so far which allows for minimal fraud and abuse.First, create a secure electronic variant of the 4473. It should include the buyer and seller information along with contact information for both parties. Once the form is completed, a unique confirmation number is sent out to both parties using the provided contact information. Both parties enter their confirmation numbers, then the form is submitted to the FBI and run through the NICS database. A single transaction number is generated for the NICS check and provided to the buyer and seller. The parties then call a phone number for a NICS automated line and enter the transaction number along with their unique confirmation numbers. This transfers the call to a live operator who examines the results of the NICS check performed for the transaction. The operator then tells the seller to “proceed”, “delay”, or “deny” just as they would with an FFL.The idea behind the whole system is that it allows for an effective background check to be done while offering a reasonable measure of privacy for the buyer. Sure, somebody could abuse the system if they wanted to put in enough effort, but they wouldn’t get very much information. It also removes a financial disincentive; it only costs individuals time to do a check like this and the check and be performed virtually anywhere, not just at FFL locations.Now, let’s discuss assault weapons and magazines which hold more than ten rounds. The problem with the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 was that it didn’t do anything except drive up prices on the magazines and weapons described by the ban. There was no measurable impact on crime during the ten years the Assault Weapons Ban was in effect.Here is how assault weapons were defined in 1994:Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:Folding or telescoping stockPistol gripBayonet mountFlash suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate oneGrenade launcher mountSemi-automatic pistols with detachable magazines and two or more of the following:Magazine that attaches outside the pistol gripThreaded barrel to attach barrel extender, flash suppressor, handgrip, or suppressorBarrel shroud safety feature that prevents burns to the operatorUnloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or moreA semi-automatic version of a fully automatic firearm.Semi-automatic shotguns with two or more of the following:Folding or telescoping stockPistol gripDetachable magazine.All of those things are cosmetic features that can be designed around. In fact, they frequently were and are designed around. Even today in states with more stringent feature based assault weapon bans, like California, there exist so called “featureless” firearms which are perfectly legal and not objectively worse for killing people than assault weapons. Now we could try an assault weapon ban again and again have no impact on crime… or we could recognize that semiautomatic centerfire weapons are undeniably the arms of choice in a militia. Police and military forces all over the world use semiautomatic (or fully automatic) centerfire weapons almost exclusively. As such, it makes more sense to more stringently regulate all semiautomatic centerfire weapons, not just a certain subset with specific cosmetic features. At the same time, we can breathe new life into the militia concept described by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, even make the militia well regulated.In the United States, we currently have an organization called the Civilian Marksmanship Program, a federally chartered corporation whose purpose is:To instruct citizens of the United States in marksmanship;To promote practice and safety in the use of firearms;To conduct competitions in the use of firearms and to award trophies, prizes, badges, and other insignia to competitors.Among numerous other things, the CMP sells M1 Garand rifles. The Garand is a .30–06 semiautomatic battle rifle roughly twice as powerful as common AR-15 or Kalashnikov rifles. The Garand was the primary infantry rifle of the US military during the Second World War and the Korean War. The CMP literally sells them so people can practice target shooting with a weapon of war.Image by Curiosandrelics - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, File:M1-Garand-Rifle.jpg - Wikimedia CommonsLet’s take a look at eligibility requirements for the CMP:REQUIREMENTS FOR PURCHASEBy law, the CMP can sell surplus military firearms, ammunition, parts and other items only to members of CMP affiliated clubs who are also U.S. citizens, over 18 years of age and who are legally eligible to purchase a firearm.PROOF OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP:You must provide a copy of a U.S. birth certificate, passport, proof of naturalization, or any official government document (When using a military ID to prove citizenship, must be an E5 or above) that shows birth in the U.S. or states citizenship as U.S.PROOF OF AGE:You must provide proof of age. Usually proof of citizenship also provides proof of age. In those cases where it may not, a driver’s license is sufficient.MEMBERSHIP IN CMP AFFILIATED ORGANIZATION:You must provide a copy of your current membership card or other proof of membership. This requirement cannot be waived. The CMP currently has over 2,000 affiliated organizations located in many parts of the country. CMP Club Member Certification Form- If your CMP affiliated club does not issue individual membership cards, please have the club fill out the CMP Club Member Certification Form and return it with your order.Membership in many of these organizations costs $25.00 or less and can be accomplished online. A listing of affiliated organizations can be found by clicking on our Club Search web page at http://ct.thecmp.org/app/v1/index.php?do=clubSearch. If you have any difficulty in locating a club, please contact the CMP at 256-835-8455 or by emailing CMP Customer Service. We will find one for you. In addition to shooting clubs, the CMP also has several special affiliates. Membership in these organizations satisfies our requirement for purchase. These special affiliates include: Congressionally chartered veterans' organizations such as the VFW, AL, DAV, MCL, etc. U.S. Military services (active or reserves), National Guard, to include retirees. Professional 501(c)3 law enforcement organizations and associations such as the FOP, NAPO, NSA, etc. The Garand Collector's Association is a CMP Affiliated Club. You can download a Garand Collector's Association Application Form.Note: Club membership IS required for purchase of rifles, parts, and ammunition.Club membership is NOT required for instructional publications or videos or CMP memorabilia.MARKSMANSHIP OR OTHER FIREARMS RELATED ACTIVITY:You must provide proof of participation in a marksmanship related activity or otherwise show familiarity with the safe handling of firearms and range procedures. Your marksmanship related activity does not have to be with highpower rifles; it can be with smallbore rifles, pistols, air guns or shotguns. Proof of marksmanship participation can be provided by documenting any of the following:Current or past military service.Current or past law enforcement serviceParticipation in a rifle, pistol, air gun or shotgun competition (provide copy of results bulletin).Completion of a marksmanship clinic that included live fire training (provide a copy of the certificate of completion or a statement from the instructor).Distinguished, Instructor, or Coach status.Concealed Carry License.Firearms Owner Identification Cards that included live fire training. - FFL or C&R license.Completion of a Hunter Safety Course that included live fire training.Certification from range or club official or law enforcement officer witnessing shooting activity. Complete the CMP Marksmanship Form to certify your range firing and the required marksmanship related activity for an individual to purchase from the CMP.No proof of marksmanship required if over age 60. Proof of club membership and citizenship required for all ages. NOTE: Proof of marksmanship activity is not required for purchase of ammunition, parts, publications or memorabilia.BE LEGALLY ELIGIBLE TO PURCHASE A FIREARM:The information you supply on your application will be submitted by the CMP to the FBI National Instant Criminal Check System (NICS) to verify you are not prohibited by Federal, State or Local law from acquiring or possessing a rifle. Your signature on the Purchaser Certification portion of the purchase application authorizes the CMP to initiate the NICS check and authorizes the FBI to inform CMP of the result. IMPORTANT: If your State or locality requires you to first obtain a license, permit, or Firearms Owner ID card in order to possess or receive a rifle, you must enclose a photocopy of your license, permit, or card with the application for purchase.As you can see, the CMP eligibility process is quite a bit more involved than the background check system we have now. It seems to have worked for keeping the powerful semiautomatic Garand rifles out of the hands of mass murderers. The last mass shooting on US soil that I know of which involved an M1 Garand was the Kent State massacre and that involved the Ohio National Guard shooting anti-war protesters, not civilians who were sold rifles through the CMP. I haven’t been able to find any records of crimes committed with guns sold through the CMP. I’m sure it has happened at one point in time or another, but the occurrence is so rare that there hasn’t been any documentation. My point is that the CMP has a really great track record in the United States for making sure guns don’t go to bad guys.Since the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 didn’t have any measurable impacts on crime and the CMP has great results, I propose we extend the CMP eligibility requirements to all semiautomatic centerfire firearms and centerfire magazines with more than ten rounds of capacity. This means only people who meet the listed criteria will be able to buy the types of weapons most useful in a militia which are also the weapons we primarily see used in mass shootings from an FFL. The proposal also effectively introduces a mandatory training and basic competency requirement before individuals can purchase semiautomatic centerfire weapons from a gun store. The inclusion of CMP eligibility for the purchase of centerfire magazine over ten rounds creates a strong incentive for existing gun owners and individuals who purchase firearms through private intrastate sales to get training and join the CMP if they want easy access to centerfire magazines over ten rounds.The word centerfire is really important because there is another class of firearms which use rimfire cartridges.A collection of rimfire and centerfire cartridges, left to right: .22lr (rimfire), .22WMR (rimfire), .357 magnum (centerfire), .30–06 Springfield (centerfire), 12 gauge shotshell (centerfire)Rimfire cartridges aren’t very powerful; they’re mostly used for small game hunting and target shooting. Most countries allow ownership of semiautomatic rimfire rifles with only basic licensing; countries like Canada and the UK don’t even have restrictions on magazine capacity for rimfire rifles. Could they be used by a mass shooter? Sure, anything could, but semiautomatic rimfire firearms just aren’t a threat compared to semiautomatic centerfire firearms or even non-semiautomatic centerfire firearms. Wounds caused by bullets fired from rimfire cartridges are almost always less severe than wounds caused by bullets fired from centerfire cartridges. Very precise shot placement is required for rimfire weapons to instantly kill a person and mass shooters are unlikely to take the time to precisely place their shots.Seen above are four rimfire rifles made by Marlin.Regulating firearms in this way allows new gun owners to hunt, shoot targets, and defend themselves using semiautomatic rimfire or manually operated firearms. If new gun owners want easy access to semiautomatic centerfire firearms which are useful in a militia context, they can join the CMP, effectively becoming a member of a well regulated militia, after demonstrating themselves to be competent and well trained.I have some final thoughts on the CMP related proposal before moving on to the next topic. CMP eligibility introduces additional layers of human interaction between people and semiautomatic centerfire weapons and centerfire magazines over ten rounds. Barring major advances in mental healthcare and adjudication in the United States, layers of human interaction are the best way for red flags to be raised about somebody who might want to kill large numbers of people with a firearm. Additional layers of human interaction also introduce a larger hurdle for straw purchasers, people who buy firearms for people who can’t pass background checks because they’re ineligible to own firearms. Additional layers of human interaction make law enforcement investigations slightly easier as well.At the moment, laws, standards, and permits for carrying concealed handguns vary wildly. Some states have no requirements while other states functionally don’t allow anybody except police officers to carry handguns in any way. While the percentage of the US population which actually carries handguns regularly, concealed or openly, is relatively small, those who do carry handguns regularly can often face great legal peril for no particularly good reason when crossing state lines. At the same time, it would be good for the public to know that people carrying concealed handguns are actually competent and not a hazard to the public. In essence, a balance would be preferable to the extremes which currently exist.I propose creating an national permit for carrying concealed handguns in any state. Police officers already enjoy something similar to this. The permitting process should include a standardized class which can be taught by police officers or other qualified instructors. Before attending the class, applicants should undergo a background check. Among other things, the class should cover the legal use of deadly force, safe firearms handling practices, and conflict deescalation practices. Then applicants should be given a written test on the subjects. If the applicants pass, they should then undergo a practical handgun handling and shooting competency test. If applicants are able to both handle handguns safely and shoot accurately, they will then be issued a carry permit which is valid for a certain number of years; three to five years seems reasonable. If applicants fail either test then they go home without a permit and can retake the whole class the next time it is offered if they still wish to carry a concealed handgun.

In my opinion, the most appropriate level of gun control is only that recognizes four immutable facts.1.) No matter who you are or how you live your life; there is always the possibility that a person or animal might try to kill you even if you haven't done anything wrong.2.) The police response time in most cases of assault or animal attack is probably going to be too slow for law enforcement to adequately act as a substitute for self-defense.3.) The average person doesn't have enough disposable time or money to master any martial art, including defensive firearms use.4.) There is virtually no type of individually operated small arm that the average person cannot be trusted to own provided that they have received the appropriate training. As small arms tend to be designed for issue to personnel recruited or conscripted from the general public.Based on the above, the only justifiable gun control regime would give anyone not currently incarcerated or institutionalized (where they would have armed security around them at all times anyway) the ability to legally acquire single-shot basic firearms, like air guns, black-powder guns which do not use disposable metallic cartridges (commonly called muzzle-loaders), or small caliber guns which fire rimfire rounds that are no larger than .22 caliber or which can fire the .410 shotgun shell from a smooth bore barrel. The only barrier for entry to buying these guns should be to prove you are of age and reciting the four basic firearms rules and three basic principles of marksmanship.The next category of firearms would be single-shot weapons of any caliber under 15MM. And people looking to buys these types of guns should only have to go through the most basic background check to prove they aren't fugitives, minors with fake IDs, or protected persons who have escaped their caretakers. And again. They should be able to recite the gun safety rules and marksmanship principles. There should be no waiting period for these guns.After that, you have manually operated repeating firearms, bolt-actions, pump-actions, lever/ring-actions, and single-action revolvers, which are a bit more complex but don't require an intense amount of training for an uninitiated individual to learn to use safely and reliably. As a consumer's rights issue. Buying these guns should require the same background check as the single shots would require, in addition to recieving some kind of formal instruction from the local game and wildlife authority or other certified instructor on that particular model of firearm. Unless the dealer/seller is a certified instructor and includes a training session in the sale.From their the only kinds of guns that should require certification and licensing for would be semi-autos, because some people do think holding them turns you into the punisher, and that means they don't need any training. However, the reality is that owning these types of guns means you need more training just to load and fire them properly, clear any malfunctions, understand the limitations of the weapons, not fire an uncontrolled string of shots during a high-stress situation like a home invasion, and even just to clean the guns well enough. A three week wait time is also acceptable for anyone who hasn't gotten a judge to sign an immediate needs waiver.Ultra-modern and nakedly tactical firearms can be lumped in with short-barrelled rifles that are chambered in calibers larger than a rimfire .22 Magnum, short barrel shotguns chambered for shells larger than .410 bore, or guns that are disguised to look like something other than a gun when it a firing mode. Weapons of this class should be taxed at a rate of 10% for single shots, 15% for repeaters, 20% for semi-autos, and %25 for disguised firearms of any action type. Buying these guns should require the same training and background checks for whatever class of weapon they would belong to if they were full-sized undisguised guns.Lastly full-autos and and destructive devices should require their own license separate from a semi-auto license (unless the firearm is mechanically limited to a two or three round burst), both machine guns and destructive devices should be banned from use on public land or private shooting ranges which haven't been specifically rated for them. And the use of these weapons commercially or for personal entertainment should require an additional license.It would also make sense to lower any basic firearms that are not single-shot shots by one class. For example a black powder cap and ball revolver would be regulated like a single shot .243 hunting rifle. A semi-auto .22 short would be legally categorized along sized a lever-action .357 carbine.It would also be wise to raise snub-nosed/pocket pistols up one category. So for example, a .380 PPK semi-auto pock pistol would be legally the same as a semi-auto tactic rifle or a short barreled rifle. But a snub-nosed single action revolver would be lumped in with full-sized semi-auto pistols. This has more to do with the bad habit some gun owners have of choosing the wimpiest least obtrusive pistols to carry than fear that criminals will sneak around with pock pistols. An underpowered handgun can often be a source of false confidence, since they're not super dependable for any situation other than being mugged by a sane sober person. Anyone under the influence, or animal attackers might not run away if you put a small number of under powered pistol rounds in them.

COMPANY OF HEROES 1Tactic 1: Specialize in the Airborne Skill Tree. Send P47 Recon/Scout aircraft over an enemy base to briefly reveal the layout and ideally, the HQ before the Fog of War resettles. Then drop Airborne Infantry squads by the HQ and have them lob satchel charges into the building, dealing 20–30% damage. If the squad survives long enough, another one can be deployed to throw another charge in while the first squad cools down/replenishes troops. Up to 4 can be thrown before both squads are likely overwhelmed and killed off. Use of the “Fire Up” ability will alert pinned squads and allow lobbing of charges before they all get gunned down.EDIT: A comment mentioned this tactic is impractical and wastes resources. After replaying some COH1, turns out that is actually true. It does work wonders when playing against another human player, however.Tactic 2: Capture the Nebelwerfer-41s when possible during the campaign, even as the game instructs their destruction. This method is also suicidal and prone to failure because not only can several units die in the process, the Nebelwerfer itself can be destroyed by “friendly” fire and/or enemy forces, who will inevitably intercept the movements back to Allied zones. A captured Nebelwerfer-41 is very much a glass cannon. It’s difficult to capture and recover. It’s also a really damn slow and inaccurate bastard with limited range and useless against armoured vehicles. But it puts on an impressive pyrotechnics display, immolating human and house alike within a large space.Both of the COH1 tactics have been employed while playing as the Americans.CITIES: SKYLINESTactic: When the landfills in the city get full, use the “Collapse” disaster option on said landfill to manually destroy it. Then clear the rubble - With ALL of the garbage in it too!Requires the Natural Disasters DLC. Also more of an exploit, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯WOLFENSTEIN: THE NEW ORDERTactic 1: If dual-wielding automatic weapons such as the Sturmgewehr-46/60, pressing both LMB and RMB at the right time (not at EXACTLY the same time), the delay between a shot is halved.Note: Perhaps this is a placebo effect, but having a halved delay in-between shots versus 2 guns firing at the exact same time appears to dish out more pain.Tactic 2: When fighting Deathshead/Totenkopf/Wilhelm Straße in his mech-suit, strafe along a set of pipes on fire underneath a catwalk with a blown up section while shooting back at the General. Ironically enough, the catwalk provides a degree of cover and the piping ablaze does little to no damage. Then keep laying down lead and laser towards Mecha-Straße until he finally dies.JAGGED ALLIANCE 2 - URBAN CHAOS 1.13 MOD (WITH ZOMBIE MODE)Tactic 1a: Kill enemy soldiers and they may rise back up constantly as a zombie to harass it’s former comrades at arms. This will also ideally draw enemy gunfire away from your troops as they infight with a sudden zombie right next to them while you pick both man and zombie off with your SCAR-L.Note: Highly risky tactic. Zombies CAN AND WILL attack civilians and allied militants - and even YOUR OWN guns-for-hire. Depending on how their behaviour is set up in the 1.13 INI Editor, they will come back many times until staying dead for good. Or at least until mutilated by explosive/immolated or beheaded with the aid of an assault/sniper rifle.Tactic 1b: Use the zombies at various weapons depots to your advantage against Gun Runners and minimize the amount of direct combat against your own troops. Dead Gun Runners will also come back as zombies and will start drawing fire from their own. This is essential but also highly suicidal when all you have are shit little pistols and SMGs - And the hostiles are packing AKs, SCARs, M16s, ACRs, etc. with body armour to top it all off.Tactic 2: Lure enemies. Hide in a house, behind windowsills and doors. Fire off a few gunshots and draw enemy soldiers to you. Have one unit crouched in front of a window/doorway or any other chokepoint and have another of your units standing up right behind them. This can provide double the opportunity for laying down fire against the enemy while also minimizing the chance of decapitating an ally because you “forgot” them in front of the business end of your Galil. Use of smoke grenades also helps conceal you from enemies who may otherwise get the drop on you and answer the door with an HK416 in hand.Tactic 3: Check that the “Show Movement Path” is on in the options menu. A mostly straight line of footprints is visible between your position and the target. Oh, but there’s a “bump” in the line on a clear path - An NPC, likely an enemy is standing in the way and may further bump the line (Or several) but is otherwise invisible to the player. This can help in fishing out remaining stragglers.STARCRAFTTactic 1: Use the Terran ComSat ability to temporarily reveal locations ahead for a Terran Siege Tank squad camped outside an enemy base and reveal buildings otherwise outside of their view. A large squad of 8–12 tanks can inflict great amounts of damage or even level most buildings in just a few barrages in Artillery mode.Tactic 2: A Terran Battlecruiser’s Yamato Cannon can 1-hit snipe a Terran Missile Turret AND reaches slightly further than the turret’s own attack/detection range.Note: Only really works against an enemy Terran.Tactic 3: There is a campaign mission in which you have to defend a crashed Norad II against Zerg with a limited formation of Mechs, Marines and SCVs. It is possible to squeeze a Terran Barracks into the area and a couple of Missile Turrets along with the Bunkers with the couple of SCVs stationed there. Use the Barracks to train squads of Marines to attack the Zerg Colony from within once your own outpost is grown enough to fend off attacks and gather resources.Tactic 4: As Zerg, have single Zergling units Burrow in the map. They can only be attacked if exposed by Detectors and even be used as an Early Warning System as enemy troops will walk right over them, making a beeline to your colony. Zerglings are cheap and can be mass-produced. Their only inherent downside is that you need many of them to be effective and they cannot attack flying units. However, squads of 20–50 can sit burrowed in a friendly colony and pop out and Swarm Rush hostile ground troops. Once the threat has been removed, have them burrow again and sit tight. ALL Zerg units also regenerate health at any time, even while burrowed. Hydralisks can also be used as a more expensive tactic, but can attack air units too and also burrow.Tactic 5: As Terran, Marines can be used much the same way as Zerglings due to their low cost and high versatility. Despite how feeble the Terran Marine is as a unit, a squad (or several) of 12 will put up a serious fight. They can attack both ground AND air units and will hose down any with a volley of rapid gunfire. Up to 4 can also be sent to a Bunker which is intended to be a means of defensive line against enemies.Tactic 6: Build Terran Missile Turrets and/or set up Siege Tanks by said Bunkers. Such a formation will have 3 lines of defense: Bunkers full of Marines will hose down both ground and air units; Missile Turrets will attack aircraft and expose any hidden foes; and Siege Tanks will smack down anyone on ground.
