Sophist_13 got a reaction from Artkin in Black Sea possible updates for any future modules
Oh. Russian Ground Forces have MLRS on two levels. First level - Brigade\Division, second level - combined arms army (separate artillery brigades). Russian combined arms battalion(BTG) can have in possession MLRS battery taken from brigade's MRLS divizion (Battalion) (just like BTG has SPH artillery assets from brigade's artillery battalions or division's artillery regiment). Usually it's BM-21 on battalion or brigade level and BM-27 or BM-30 on army level.
But there is reason in your words. Newest russian BTG are more powerful, it's something mid between batallion and regiment (by soviet standards) and more likes US combined arms battalion by sized. As Viktor Murakhovsky (an expert at Russia's Military Industrial Commission) wrote (too long to translate, it's google's work)
We already have a weakened artillery.

Sophist_13 reacted to dbsapp in Khrizantema blindness
Why Khrizantema's visibility in game is much worse than BMP-3 if Khrizantema is literally built on BMP-3 chassis and has improved vision equipment, including radar?

Sophist_13 got a reaction from hypeman in Sophist's Modding Nook
Hello! Thank you for your feedback!
I faced to a problem - mds. files (skeleton) aren't open with ordinary tools. This format was used by old games, as Return to Castle Wolfenstein etc. As it turned out, Devs use 'entirely different', custom mds. format. So, we aren't able to import and modify .mds files. So, I'm still able to create new elements of gear, but I can't synchronize these with animation. For example, I can put hood over-suit 6sh122, but it won't be synchronized with the animation of body. So, don't wait a complex Ratnik-mod, only light version can be released.
1. It was supposed to work this way - only for new digital uniform. If you want to have a ttsko-version I can upload it.
2. Hm. I checked covered or varied goggles on Oleksandr's uniform mods, only problem I faced, is different textures (helmet - body). Tell me what is uniform mod you prefer, and I'll make a compatible version.
Unfortunately, future versions won't see the light until autumn (If you want, I can share RU Forces Varied Googles). Now I'm working on a new redfor campaign (readiness - 14 of 16 maps, core units, partly - briefings, schedules, AI, etc). It's my first experience CM-campaing making, don't wait something quality.

Sophist_13 reacted to dbsapp in Cold War ear Tank Battle Info (Iran-Iraq)
Your emotional reaction proves that abrams worship is more than real.
No doubt, abrams is a pretty decent tank and it's better than the previous generation machines like m60 or t62.
It can be argued that US merely closed the gap with t64 by producing it.
What so special about it? German gun? Or armor, which qualities are as unknow as of the rest of moderm tanks.
With all that being said Abrams is portrayed in modern pop culture as some divine impenetrable chariot. It could be shown on many examples that it formed some sort of cult (with a little help from Pentagon and Hollywood propaganda).
Unfortunately, CM games is a remarkable example of Abrams worship cult.

Sophist_13 reacted to Erwin in WITE-2: thoughts and opinions?
I looked from the start of this thread and realized that you have interposed yourself into a thread to which you have made no contribution whatsoever, and are merely attempting to derail this thread.
This is exactly the sort of thing you would complain about if anyone interrupted your thread. I'd say this as a good example of hypocritical virtue signalling. If you have nothing to contribute, why are you disrupting our conversation about a WW2 game? If you are auditioning to be part of the thought and censorship police, China would love to have you.

Sophist_13 got a reaction from Nektoman in Black Sea v2.16 is now available!
Thank you for your job! When are you going to fix:
* Incorrect UA artillery ammo (they have RU Kitolov-2M for 2S1 and Gran' for 2B1) - or rename (Gran' as Rak) or delete it (UA don't have an analogue of Kitolov-2M).
* A broken BM Oplot.
And when we will see the patch for steam?

Sophist_13 reacted to Rokossovski in Black Sea v2.16 is now available!
So now its been three and half weeks since the patch was made available, but there is still no patch for Steam. Could BFC inquire with Slitherine to determine what is holding it up? My experience (not, admittedly in the field of gaming software) is that when a matter involves multiple entities progress can be blocked by strange misunderstandings. Often a phone call or an e-mail to the right person can do wonders.

Hmmmm . . . . Still no Steam update. Automatic patching was one of the things I was hoping would be improved with using Steam.

2) Will Steam version be synchronized with BFC version ?

Sophist_13 reacted to Ivanov in Imperialist imagery overload
I'm a little disappointed that all the screens during the scenario loading, feature only the imperialist forces. I haven't seen even one image of Soviet forces. You may say it's irrelevant but since some scenarios load for ages, I'd like to have some variety in this field 😉 I guess we'll need to wait for the mods, but I'm just curious why only one side is featured on the images? If I recall correctly, in other CM games there has been always a greater variety and both sides were represented.

Sophist_13 reacted to DMS in September is coming
I'm not sure are your sincerely mistaken or trolling. Really? Is that video with song "Дядя Вова мы с тобой" (boy sings "Vladimir Putin is a good guy") considered seriously in Russian internet? Cool song, nice boy, so touching words, like that? Isn't "lifting from knees" 2000-s era propaganda slogan (when relations with West were good, by the way) repeated with sarcasm nowdays? So you really think that people say or think that "Putin lifted Russian from the knees"? You must be well speaking Russian and should understand the sense. You must be intentionally "misunderstanding".
I see there evolution of Bandera-like 1930-s ideologemes about spoiled moscovites with ugly culture. Sad that western powers pursue far-right ideologies in their own countries but don't demand from Ukraine to stop encouraging local rightists... Though, I should mention that Russia does the same, helping to right parties in Europe. Sorry for politics, but really, I can't just skip that nonsense about naturally autocratic, violence loving Russians.

Sophist_13 reacted to Sgt.Squarehead in Balancing CMBS
Nah, the spotting's dodgy.
The ability of US tanks to spot stationary/concealed units on their flanks, while moving, and often before those units can spot them is beyond ridiculous.....Superior thermal imaging doesn't make 70 ton tanks disappear in broad daylight at sub 1km ranges.

Sophist_13 got a reaction from Bufo in BRDM-2 texture problem and other stuff
Game Engine 4, without mods, 2.13 patch.
BRDM-2 has got a black turret. BRDM-2M and BRDM-2 (ATGM) is ok.
https://ibb.co/5RjFx2M
So, even the last patch didn't fix UKR Kitolov-2M HE (2S1) and Gran HE (2B11):
https://ibb.co/3mf3GzC
https://ibb.co/WVr6vV7
How many time devs need to fix UKR 2S1 and 2B11? Maybe i dramatize, but i believe I had seen this bugs when the game had come out.
P.S. Thanks for valid RPO and 9К123.
