Combined Arms (TACOM Overhaul)

[friznit]

ALiVE Mil Placement already attempts to spawn combined arms groups but because ArmA AI has no awareness of combined arms tactics, every group moves at best speed towards the objective and there is no mutual support. This means the flying units arrive first, unsupported by armoured units, which have no air defence or infantry support and recce is non existent. Artillery units are deployed as if they were tanks.

Aim: ALiVE AI Tactical Commander (TACOM) deploys assets in a credibly realistic, mutually supporting combined arms group that follows a predefined set of rules for each operational task.

• Recce
• Deliberate (planned) attack
• Hasty Attack
• Deliberate (prepared) defence
• Ambush
• Mobility (Engineer obstacle crossing)
• Countermobility (minefields etc)
• Offensive Support (Artillery/Mortars)
• Route Clearance
• Operations in Built Up Areas
• Mobile Reserve
• Reinforce
• Replen/Repair

Getting combined arms units to just arrive at objectives at the same time would be a huge improvement. Maybe that could be "step 1" of this feature.
