TEST:
T-90am (elite, undisturbed, standing still in a tree line, clear weather, day)
vs
M1A2 (veteran, moving in open field, 2.5-3 km away)
(number of tries: 10. Map: Death Valley).
---------------------------
Well, despite of all conditions above and CLEAR LOS, T-90 almost never discovers M1A2 first!
Even more, in plenty of times the T-90 does not see the damn muzzle flash after m1 starts shooting!
Logically thinking, even with only binoculars you cannot miss an incoming and shooting tank in
open field, not speaking about more sophisticated tank optics.
Moreover,
Tank destroyer 9p157-2 Krizantema-S with millimeter-wave external RADAR built especially to
detect armored objects(!!) in all weather and smoke, is blind just like T-90. Always getting
killed by (?) signs from open field 3 km away.
Same for recon vehilce BRM-3K which has radar as well.
Not mentioning various BMPs that somehow manages to detect enemy infantry in woods better than
detecting IFV in open 100 meters ahead.
CMBO was great long time ago. CMBB was good. CMSF is ****
But CM Black Sea is a funny Super Mario game, not a "tactical simulator" as promised.
