  1. One thing for sure BMPs are now nasty .. A BMP-2M got 4 bradleys before being killed by a lowly AT-4 in the last turn. The gunner and thé infantry commander survived to receive the praise. All medium to long range cannon kills. Another got 2. It was 8 against 8 . 6-3 for the BMP-2M against the Bradleys. It was usually the contrary before the patch. In another game, BMP-2Ms killed 2 Abrams and heavily damaged/mission killed another two.

    Thank God!  Finally, realism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. When the AI surrenders, there is generally not much left.  Do you really want to chase down scattered AFV crews and infantry squads with only 1 or 2 men left?

     

    Agreed.  Doing this is the worst part of the game I'd dare say.  

     

    When they throw up the white flag, you won mentally and physically.  Against an AI, granted... but yeah you know what I mean.

  3. Really, is it a huge technological feat to adjust an APS system to engage targets at a higher angle than usual?  It seems like the logical evolution for nations concerned about their employment versus their vehicles (or seeking sales to those who fear their employment :P)

     

    I'd not be surprised if it was capable of doing so.  

  4. I think the procurement goal for "Armata tanks" may be confused with new tracked AFVs in general.  I can find stated goals for "Armata tanks" and goals for Boomerang wheeled vehicles, but no numbers for other Armata-based vehicles or Kurganets-based vehicles. 

    This is exactly the mistake I made personally :P 

  5. People just want a tank that can kill the Abrams, because the T-90 cant deal with it on equal terms is what this boils down to IMO.

     

    So if the Armata went ingame, what would its weapon stats be?  Armor thickness from various angles?  Amount of ammo carried, and proper ratio of ammo?  Reload time for the autoloader?  How fast would it pivot in place, or reverse?  Hell how fast would it go driving forward even?  

     

    If it can turn the tables on the Abrams, people would be happy.  Anything less, and there'd be discontent.

     

    Oddly, wouldnt the Armata suffer BIGTIME from the "crew-only LoS" rule?  The unmanned turret would just be sitting there rather than providing LoS. Also known as "The terrible conspiracy to disadvantage Russia by those monsters at Battlefront"  :rolleyes:

  6. You can build a "fair" scenario very easily using objective beyond just capture and kill.  Make it recon against recon screen, use spot or damage objectives, use any type of point system that favors the "weaker" side.  War isn't fair and the objective system id built to create the balance.  This isn't Wargame..

    Exactly. 

  7. +1

    And still, there are lots of Russian fanboyz who still claims "my t90 is not that week" or "t90 should destroy m1a2 equally".

    All those games sacrificed a lot for multiplay balance. Usual gamers (specially wargame rd and battlefield) never know that, and blame m1a2 supporters as victim of murican propaganda. Im really tired of those fanboys.

    They cant be avoided, and every side has them.  Even really strange "contenders" in the modern-MBT tank category often proclaim their tank to be the worlds greatest.  Turkey and India's indigenous projects come to mind.

  8. At their size, I doubt these rounds are going to cause much spalling.  In the event that they both penetrate, its just a matter of hitting important components isnt it?

     

    12.7mm and 14.5mm would both overmatch a BMP's side armor.  Its just a matter of making the little holes over something thats important inside, rather than intert.

  9. Patch 1.0.69

     

    Fixed Bug where Armata's turret is weaker than expected at key points along the frontal arc

     

    Patch 1.0.7

     

    Undid former bug where Armata's turret is weaker than expected at key points along the frontal arc due to recent information

     

    Patch 1.0.71

     

    Modified bug where Armata's turret was weaker than expected at key points along the frontal arc by covering it with a canvas tarp

     

    Patch 1.0.72 

     

    Fixed bug where Armata was ingame

  10. Meh they may not even bail out or escape.  They may just kinda sit there and go "Lol gun's dead :(" 

     

    We really need to see the finalized turret to gauge what kind of effects things will potentially have.  Its possible a penetration will hit whats part of a large intert/non-essential area and the gun may remain operative.   Or its possible it'd still lead to risk of the vehicle as a whole.  Are we even 100% positive the turret isnt going to have significant armor protection?  

     

    The gun's going to be a monster though.  Would be a shame if the M1A3's weight-loss had to be undone by adding even more armor to an M1A2 :P
