Exactly. Very few (any?) vids from Syria of Leo' kills wiyh the Leo not in an emplaced/static overwatch position. Literally sitting ducks.

I will say this, that on the rare occasion I play as US I most often plumb for a bradley co over M1. This is for simple quantity of eyes, networking and thermals, giving me tactical redundancy. In smaller battles, if you lose an M1 you lose a LOT of capability in one go. It's hard to kill an M1 but I try to not underestimate my tactical stupidity :P. So I assume I'll lose something, and I'd much prefer that was 5% of my mech element than 25%. Im perfectly comfortable going up against a RUS MRBt with Bradleys. That says a lot about the group capabilities of the things. It also suggests that if UKR gets Bradleys then it's because it has the ISR and battle information management capabilities to make full use of them. My RL and in-game impression is that these things are not metal cabs, they're armed, tough mini-command and strike coordination centers. That's their true super power, bringing a high and wide battle awareness to the bleeding edge, and surviving/killing at will. Plus their organic crunchies survive for longer...

They need to find the treatment that has side effects of Utter Contriteness and Basic Human Morality. But you can't make something out of nothing,, eh....

On a somewhat tangential distraction, TIL that Igor Gerkin was a coup defender in the 1991 anti- Yeltsin coup attempt.

I think we'll then be able correllate the rate of destruction of RUS mech with the rate of defenestration of VVS Generals...

78%. Up from average of 70-73%. Large scale attack might have helped, with increased quantity of targets? One of the Kyiv civs wounded is a 14 yr old girl. I always think of my little wan and how heartbroken I'd feel if she was hurt, lost a leg, etc horrible stuff. How scared that little thing must be, how shaken. I Also think about how mother****ing ENRAGED I'd become. Uncompromisingly murderous to every Russian invader, no exceptions. So yah, there's no "just peace", there's just GTFO NOW.

Faking battle interactions from safety of the trench.... That is ingenious.

Niiiiiiiice Ankh-Morpork is good analog for Russia as a whole. Esp Wierd Regiments....

I'm rlly curious about thus, if it's accurate and recent. Putin not paying pensions is a very bad thing, if it becomes systemic or repeated, but I assume this instance ps will be brushed off as low level crony incompetence I'm highly skeptical though, Tbh. The pyscho granny brigade is a vocal supporter... So long as they get their pension cheques. And there's been no inkling of Russian cash flow problems. We'd hear far more before it got to the atml-shutdown stage.

Excellent. As in, push hard to get them firmly away, en masse, from the Soviet Mass mentality to the Western Precision format. Much easier of course with the newer recruits, but also will have knock back effects onto the existing officer corps.

From CEPA, ref long term impact of RUS lower rank officer casualties. Point 3 is particularly salient. I'm correspondingly curious about how "joint" trained are UKR officers?

Careful what you wish for...

I already used that meme in another thread, you dastardly hound. Stay in thy lane, suh!

Good good, fatten 'er up. Give her a second, and a third! Think of the cutlets!

You guys were spoiled! We fought badgers for scraps of rabbit and well, I'll put it like this - when I was born I had 4 brothers, but after the first bad winter... just 3. Still, that was an amazing beef Wellington....

Sustained. Councillor, you seem to be arguing a different case...

To be clear, this thread is not about if CMBS arty is good or not. Those discussions in other threads have been lengthy, in depth and highly informative, as well as vexing to many concerned! It's the quantity and duration of RUS fires that I'm raising. I've read an account of UKR companies under sustained fire, over an entire day, from a single RUS battery which they could identify but no assets were available to hit. Now, obviously CMBS is not modeled or runs any battles as 24hr sims,but it's the availability of RUS fires that I'm interested in, as I don't get that sense from the game. Could easily be just me, of course

Nicely put.

Not just some Lady, Massicot is a smart one. Careful analyst. I don't think she was on the Kyiv Doomed bandwagon, for example. Good link, thank you

Lolololol Soooooo sooo sooooo too late. Oh my God you just can't make this **** up.

Come to Canada my friends. Cheap hydro power and all the snow you can eat.

More Perun content is always good! Great find thank you

Plus, I Guarantee Russian logistics has settled into its usual corrupt complacency and I doubt has a Plan B if an ATACAMS Long Range Snotting campaign starts up.

Soooooo basically a good ol fashioned, batt-level CMBS LAN weekend, but for months....
