General Jack Ripper

I have standards?

I think this might be the longest running series on YouTube at this point. I just have little imagination.

Before you go REEEEEE!!!!! Remember, this video is about the use of the ZF-41 as a SNIPING scope. It works perfectly fine as a regular optic. Just thought y'all might be interested.

Most of the time I use bazookas, I usually hit something at least once before he runs out of ammo. The best use of them is from ambush, at short range, without using the Target command to force Tube Guytm to shoot when he doesn't want to. That being said, sometimes the guy just can't hit the broadside of a building 60 meters away. You gotta remember, it's basically a bottle rocket fired from a tube in terms of accuracy. The projectile is NOT stabilized in any way. It has fins, but relies on nothing more than aerodynamic forces to keep it pointed in the right direction. It doesn't even spin.

Are we golfing with 60mm mortars?

The way I see it, it's a tank if the person using it calls it a tank, or if the person building it calls it a tank, or if it's used in a battlefield role that would (or could be) be performed by a tank. Or if it's a Monday. Or the word, "tank," is now used as a generic term for, "any vehicle that drives around on tracks," by a buddy of mine back from three tours in Afghanistan who refers to his M113 as a tank. It seems only on forums like this are the real nitty gritty details hashed out. I love you guys.

Never mind I see you've gone off already.

I like the way you think. There is another angle you may not have considered, which is strange because the rudiments of it were demonstrated in the opening part of this battle. If the town is the objective, then you need to get your mass (I.E. your infantry) into the town. To do this you are confronted by one big problem, all that open space between you and it. That being said, I have one question that might shed some light: How many smoke rounds does a T-62 carry? Once upon a time I was confronted by a similar but much smaller scale tactical problem, how to cross an open area that was covered by machine guns and cannon. I partially solved that problem with the creative use of smoke. (Video time-stamped to relevant turns.) While my idea is a mere embryo born from a single seed that began and ended it's brief lifetime before it could even learn to crawl, perhaps an entire tank Company on some rolling green hills of Germany can develop this embryo into a fully-fledged creature? TL;DR - Blind him with smoke, then CHARGE!

I'll take a stab at this: Absolute hatred and vitriol. Only enough to ensure mission success, and no more. EVERYONE!!

Call me a heretic if you like, but my view is that I'm the Captain, and the aiming of the torpedoes is the job of the Weapons Officer. It's my job to tell him WHAT and WHEN to shoot, it's his job to figure out HOW. Greetings from the USS Narwhal.

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

I agree. Seems ideal for a purely defensive doctrine.

It's not like you to count on getting lucky.

Chieftain did a three part series on S tank as well, really gets into the guts of the machine, and even has a drive around in one during part three.

Firmly ensconced onto my, "I desperately need to read this at some point in my life," list. Kelly Johnson had a saying that went something like, "If it doesn't look right, it won't fly right." Well, the M60 just looks right. Here's hoping they fly right too.

If your purpose is to inform, then your video is perfect. However, if your purpose is to entertain...

One thing to note, is that while you can get into Bil's head, he can surely get into yours as well. So, first you make your plan. Then, Bil plans around your plan, which you anticipate. Then, you plan a plan around the plan Bil is planning around your plan, and you catch him with his pants down! Keep that in mind.

I approve, both the map, and the plan. Good luck.

Should be easy enough to mod. In fact, I do seem to fondly recall a 'Chocolate Chip Desert' uniform mod for Shock Force, made by a rather notable member of the community.

Music for the thread:

I play GFO mod myself. I found the total conversions a bit intimidating after some time spent with GWX in SHIII. Still some of the most amazing gameplay I have ever experienced, but I found a few more grey hairs after I was finished.

Given recent events on the forums, I'd like to share this: And also, "Hello!" because I haven't been around for a while. Hope you all are doing well.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! Oh man, stop doing this to me.

I never get tired of war, but I do occasionally get tired of Combat Mission. Got a campaign going in Hearts of Iron 4, playing a co-op with a buddy in Total War: Atilla, have another campaign with a buddy and my younger brother in Stellaris, I got sucked into the rather fantastical time sink of Conqueror's Blade, I play Airport Madness 3D when I need to kill fifteen minutes, I'm still in the middle of single-player games in Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, Darkest Dungeon, DiRT Rally 2.0, Kerbal Space Program, Motorsport Manager, Prison Architect, Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific, Star Wars Empire at War, Take Command - 2nd Manassas, Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail, Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, and Xenonauts. Needless to say, I start a lot of games I don't finish, then a year later I remember I have a save game waiting and I'll fire it back up again.

If you're operating an international aircraft in U.S. airspace, several things must be known: You must file a flight plan, which includes tail number or registration number of your aircraft, route of flight, scheduled time of departure and arrival, etc. If you are crossing international boundaries, you pass through an Air Defense Identification Zone, which requires you to open and follow an IFR flight plan which includes active navigational vector control and radar monitoring by Air Traffic Control. If your implication is such that a Top Secret modification to a Pakistani military transport aircraft is able to just fly around inside United States airspace without anyone knowing about it, or that information not being made available to civilian flight controllers who operate the controlled airspace they would have to both pass through, and identify themselves in order to transit, then I don't know what I can say and not receive a warning card for excessive obscenity and harassment. If you like the old stuff, Atomic Café is a great channel. I've reviewed a few of his videos and he really knows his stuff. Not to mention the comment section on each video is a goldmine of old stories and humorous anecdotes.
