Couple of observations;
1. From a contextual view;
a. Amateur Insurgents in Iraq would often use HE instead of AP / HEAT rockets when engaging Armour with RPGs simply because they didn't know any better. I also heard this was because they simply thought the bigger bang from HE did more damage to armour...
b. Chechen RPG  teams (ex Sovient trained) would typically immobilize Russian Armour first and only then look to finish of the vehicle (I think this is poorly modeled in the game - AT teams always seem to go for kill shots straight off from what Ive seen...)
c. Insurgents evolved to using IEDs as these where more effective and less risk in terms of engaging Armour.
 
2. From a game point of view, Ive played a number of CMSF2 games now, largely uncons vs western conventional and find;
a. RPG 7s  can only effectively destroy un-upgraded IFVs or IFVs with no reactive Armour. Even vehicles with Bar / Slats?? armour get lucky depending on the direction the rocket is coming in from. 
b. RPG7s have no effect on any of the MBTs that I have seen - except sometimes mainly to maybe tracks.
c. The RPG29s are lethal to any IFV and quite lethal against even MBTs especially if a non frontal hit.
c. The older ATGMs are effective against IFVs but not modern MBTs and the newer ATGMs (AT14) effective against MBTs - but not necessarily reliable single hit kills.
d. The odds of ATGMs hitting their target comes down to a lot of variables - open fields of fire, enough open space for the complete flight path of the ATGM, range to target (the shorter the more reliable), if the target is hull down I find a big reduction in hit chance, any trees in the flight path have a good chance of prematurely detonating the ATGM. Throw in lady luck and the interaction of all of the above and I find you have a real mix of results - and of course both players will impact all of these variables....
If you want to have a game I have an awesome UNCONs vs Conventional Map - lets go for a large Conventional attack, Ill start as the conventionals and you can try and blow my tin cans to pieces - how about I go as brits or marines????
I like the mirror game of this as well so then happy to have at it with that after!!!!
Cheers

True, but the former is also an awesome aid in achieving the later.....

Im not sure yet of where Boris stands - I suspect he is acting in his own self interest and trying to preserve as much of the status quo as possible.
It could be said his desire to see thru Brexit, is because he believes in severe consequences for the prosperity of his party and himself if he fails (or fails to be seen) delivering brexit.
his latest actions I think may lead to concessions from the EU. How far he goes in sticking to his apparent path will be interesting to see.
And yes I absolutely think that if the Brits can break totally from the EU then they will have to face up to their failings and at the same time hold their leaders accountable, who at the moment have an easy get out clause - "the EU made us do it". I suspect that's why so many British MPs are reluctant to fully leave the EU - despite a majority mandate from the public - they will actually have to start doing their jobs....and make hard decisions and be held accountable for them....imagine that....
 
 

Regicide is the killing of kings and queens I believe - you promoting Boris???
Usually I dont really care what the Brits do - but bailing on the EU is one of the smartest things that Majority have done in a long time.
In terms of stringing up - Id reserve that for the Politicians who are behaving like......"Traitors"....I dont use that word lightly
Some interesting Clips that I hope all Brits watch;

If your really interested the full version of the Documentary this guy references is here;
Some key parts here if you want to hear the views of senior EU Technocrats, quite unashamedly blunt about how they are planning on screwing the "Brits" and Brit Politicians have been complicit in it....

Hello,
I think this is related to a previous report - namely soldiers running to the wrong side of cover when engaged with Direct Fire.
Ive seen it in two differant CMBN games.
Both sides as the Brits (though I think it may be happening to my opponents as well - though not sure)
I know previously their where issues with Mtr / Artillery fire but this seems to be with direct fire and bocage / hedgerows.
If a gap is near by in the hedge row - if they receive a burst of MG fire their suppression seems to go up to full (seemingly on the first burst regardless if they take casualties) and then they start running to the enemy side of the hedge - where typically they are then cut down.
Its totally crazy behavior that makes no sense at all.
This is happening with the latest .02 patch as well.
Cheers
Gary
 
 
 
 
 

I think according to fact they dont perpetuate mainstream media biases....therefore they must be biased by definition
I came across South Front about 3 yrs ago. One thing I noticed, their maps of who owned what in Syria seemed to be 1-3months ahead of what I saw in the mainstream press.....

I'm sure it is superflous to quote Brecht to an erudite group like you, but considering some of the things said in this thread I will
Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men. For though the world has stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again
I agree 100% with what aus3620 says about political correctness.  It's how it has always started.

BS eh?
Syrian Democratic Forces - Syria
Democratic Party /  Libyan Freedom and Democracy Campaign - Libya
Iraq - well should be evident enough....
Look into those groups and who's funding / supporting them - particularly the SDF
Its that sort of ignorant opinion and dismissal that's seen hundreds of thousands if not millions of people killed since 1991 in the name of democracy without any push back whatsoever.
Far more people have been "slaughtered" as you put it since Ghaddafi / Saddam were deposed than ever under their regimes. 
That Arab spring in Libya was anything but a spontaneous revolt.
The UK I know for certain and I'm guessing by association the US and France where actively engaged with intelligence collection operations 6 months prior - well above the normal level including covert reconnaissance and I suspect co-ordination of various anti establishment groups.
The same sort of ignorant dismissal is found amongst the Islamic Fundamentalists - its questionable which is more dangerous and damaging.
 
 
 
 

When has that stopped the west from trying Iraq, Libya, Syria.......democracy is just a contemporary motivational tool - like religion was in the crusades
