  1. Always playing - despite all the limits of a game - as a simulation with possible lessons for real world I'd say: 1. Situational awareness on a modern battlefield is even more important than it was in WWII for example. 2: The usefulness - or danger - of all the modern gadgetry like night vision IR and laser optics, UAV and precision guidance 3. closely connected with point 2 and the fact that more ammo is using the third dimension today: there isn't a safe defilade anymore
  2. Mast mount working properly would be great indeed to use those vehicles as they were supposed to be used! Should be possible with a game tracking individual bullet paths.
  3. A fresh analysis from Janes http://www.janes.com/article/51469/russia-s-armour-revolution
  4. Rain could be an issue. Just guessing as I don't know how that's modeled by the engine. Have you tried clear conditions for comparison? Did your troops have some supression, even minor, while shooting? SACLOS can be quite sensitive to having a steady hand in the process of staying on target.
  5. Just found this piece: interesting concept with a decoy missile as kind of cheap pathfinder through APS. Krizantema for shoulder launch http://www.janes.com/article/50821/laad-2015-russian-bazalt-allowed-to-export-aps-defeating-rpg-30
  6. First of all: Hi to all in here. Always fun to follow your questions and tips even when not playing myself. As a long time CM1 player but with special interest in modern warfare I had stopped after CMSF, waiting for the next modern version. As far as I can see right now I'm very pleased with CMBS. After eagerly watching many AARs I'm now trying the Demo myself in that few spare time, comvinced that I'll need the full package soon Just started the first few turns of Rolling Thunder, decided to take the risk and launch my drones early on. There it was, the dreaded Tunguska. Plotted a 155 precision strike, one tube only to conserve the expansive ammo - went off about 30 meters. So in the next turn I plotted another one, this time with 2 tubes. Meanwhile Tunguska had shot it's guns 2 times, obviously missing my drones though. And then: first shot hit right behind it with only minor damage if at all, the next one only 3 seconds later nailed it. Question from this experience and lots of what I have seen in other AARs: is it advisable to always use doublettes with PGM?
  7. It's a quite an actual use for those weapons. Hizballah used them that way too in the 2006 Lebenon conflict. Wouldn't be in classic soviet doctrine as far as I know - but as asymmetric warfare develops, we'll see more of that in the future I guess.
