    Fun times in The Russian Army. A complete Laugh Riot. 

    Seems like you are prone to making swift and uneducated judgements. The tag says "There's no place to cowards in this world" and the poor guy is in Russian Army uniform yet in Ukrainian warming coverall. If it's not a total set up. If it's authentic it's Wagner hanging his own, they did have brutal rules. So just open Google translate before meting out justice.

    OH yes,  UKR civilian government = Russian autocratic murderous invasive regime

    Yeah, I left my country 1.5yrs ago, zeroed out all my previous life and business network that were so carefully built over many decades. Surely I did that just to be able to preach around the ideas that kill hundreds of thousands of people out of absolute craziness. Pls don't equate me with Russian propaganda, I eat enough **** trying to build a new life in a new country so late in age, yet never for a second did I believe I chose wrong.

    By order of Russian MoD, we are tired of not being believed when we say friendly fire downed our planes. Therefore, if you launch AA rockets at target you must video it and upload it to internet so we can prove to decadent and ineffectual west we shot ours down.

    Someone highly placed published whole two artilces in The Economist and in CNN to prove further fighting will cost too much blood yet someone even higher placed is so much bent on his messianic ideas that was ready to risk his whole whore by replacing his best commander and his whole team in the middle of the most dangerous period for voicing dissenting opinion and being posing a possible danger of winning an election against a democratic president (or he was thought democratic before launching criminal probes against his main opponents). And IRL the commander fought valiantly and despite his objections never failed to execute political orders he even disagreed with. Sounds familiar?

  4. Andrei_BT explanation seems a deliberate misplacement of guilt (yet neither denying nor confirming the fact) :) S-200 / S-300 are made to be be radio guided up to whatever end one desires. Let's see.

    PS It's interesting to see him referenced here. Flashback from late 90s :) He is really good. We spoke few times in late 90s regarding tank production cost model.

    Yes, that one, where they link to Ukrainian Pravda, which says "on February 23, Ukrainian defense forces shot down a Russian A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft" - February 23, not a week or two ago.

    1. Yepp. Seem like it's positively confirmed by both sides it was downed. Sorry I missed it on Fri night :(
    2. S-200 seems to me as like rather dubious option as a (rather creazy) explanation of S-400 downing its own plane as I'm now seeing in Russian propaganda channels.
    3. Let's see how it goes yet I'd vouch for "nomad Patriots". It's unbeatable when one can guide a missile to a terminal stage a  through a platform one can not (theoretecally) down -- RQ or whatever in neutral space.
    4. It'll end up in tactical nukes:( He's crazy. Totally :(

    Easy, tiger...

    Why? 😬 People throw around statements thay have no basis for. Moreover those can be refuted by bloody kitchen logic without being privy to how A-50 works. And save for that who post them should have decency to spend 1-2 hrs per day of real intensive job of tracking sources from both sides. When I missed the point in life when people cannot held resposbile at least moreally for the answers they offer?

    According to the most reliable reports, A-50, which was somewhat deep in Russia (see my drawing above), was hit. There were reports of two planes or one plane and one helicopter hit, however it appears that A-50 been broken into two parts, which were misidentified as two planes.

    1. You're a kinda week or two late with the news.
    2. It was A-50 and Il-22. Seems like A-50 didn't make it and Il-22 was able to survive.
    3. You sure you can a be a reliable and referencable source if you missed these basic things?

    That would explain the flares. And that video seemed fairly low level.

    AFAIK Il-22 survived.

    This A-50 shoot down is interesting.  Too far into Russian airspace to think that a Russia asset shot it down (though it is possible), too far away to be Patriot or any other Ukrainian system based on Ukrainian soil.  That leaves three possibilities

    Are you joking? 140km for PAC-2 is not impossible? And Ukrainians are really allowed to put their best into creativity unlike Russian MoD.

    The plane was flying low enough to be hit by MANPAD and a special forces group positioned themselves along an established flight path

    I’m going with number 3.

    Yeah, that's logical 🫢 You put up in the skies at a 100x-200x cost a radar that is is every respect worse than a land based radar elevated at a mast.

    That's not going to happen unless Putin is deposed and someone smarter takes the throne.

    And when "smarter one takes the throne" then happens what? The worst deed of idea-crazy European / Americat leftist politicians is to instill the the understanding that "whoever takes the throne in Russia" will inherit the "****ed up throne". Yet if he/she shows even a glimplse of being accomodating then the cheque will grow up times more just because he/she may look like even considering accepting the check.

    This is the way. 

    Well one way at least 😉.  The other is to open a Helpdesk ticket, but John will sort you out either way.

    Thank you so much. Would you mind telling me which John to tag? :)

    Don't bother with the BFC build if you are on Windows anyway. Use the non-Steam Matrix build which has a simple serial number activation scheme with no counting.

    1. Tanks fir the advice.
    2. Unfortunately I do have BFC builds. Some are dated back to Y2K 🫢 Guess the next technical question would be how to move to Steam -- it'll be more straignforward after that. Though not sure they've moved CMBO there 🙄
  12. A copy from CM2 Engine Tech support but seems no one of BF answering there :(

    Moved to a new PC, installed CMBS, run Activate Product yet when I start the game exe it opens a window that looks like Activate Product yet with now buttons. Yet cursor changes to Press Button where those buttons should be they're just not displayed.

    What I did:

    1. Downloaded Base Game v.2.18
    2. Tried to run Activate Product. It hasn't accepted Engine 3 key yet accepted Engine 4 key.
    3. Got the above described problem.
    4. I downloaded separate Engine 4 and run update installer.
    5. Run Activate Product with Engine 4 key. It finished successfully.
    6. Got the above described problem again.

    So the questions:

    1. Long time ago I bought Engine 3 base game and Engine 4 upgrade. How can I get to Engine 4 v.2.18?
      1. Should I download and run Engine 3 first and then Engine 4 or the base game is now Engine 4?
      2. If the base game is Engine 4 might it be that since I bought the games long time ago my links need to be first used for Engine 3 installation then Engine 4?
      3. In what sequence I should run Activate Product? Engine 3 first with Engine 3 license then install Engine 4 and run it's own license.
      4. Potential problem with licenses might be over the course of time I had CMBS installed on three platforms and I was trying to install on the fourth. I needed the fourth since one of those three died so technically I had three at any given time. Yet I cannot run license deactivation on the one that died if I need to. Should I have deactivated that? Can tech support deactivate it on their side now?
      5. I actually have two copies of CMBS in my inventory so I should be able to have CMBS on three sumultanious platforms yet I'd like to sort out which licenses are tied to which platform. Can tech support help me with that?
      6. If tech support can help with sorting out the licenses please DO NOT deactivate them without contacting me first. I have two installations working and I don't want to loose them.

    Thanks for your help if I might be helped 😀

    PS @BFCElvis should I tag you? 😀

    It will give Ukraine a big window of quantitative superiority (and still raising qualitative advantage)

    You are unrealistically optimistic.

    prepare for The Horde appearing at the doors in a few months. 

    Hardly. RF does not have enough force to go for wide swaths of land. That was proved in the first 1.0-1.5 months. What's more rational to expect is a meticulous annihilation of Ukrainian military and degradation of Ukraine's economic capacity and infrastructure. And don't underestimate the pressure it will incur on Europe. 40M people with no income to feed them on - that's a lot.

    PS If there's one thing that unites Russia and Ukraine after two months of propaganda 24x7 - everyone hopes the West finally starts seizing the assets of Russian oligarchs. No one wants to see Putin's cronies getting away with this.
