agusto Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Gone are the days when imageshack was free. They have destroyed thousands of threads thanks to their change over. Mord. You still get a 30 day trial, that' s why i always register a new account when i upload images at imageshack. BTW recently i found an awesome 100% free game recording software. It' s called OBS - Open Broadcaster Software - and it' s so much better than Fraps. A 60 seconds video of CMBS gameplay is probably 1,5 GB if recorded with Fraps but only about 10MB when record with OBS. Naturally the 100 times larger video recorded by Fraps is of much higher quality, but if the only thing you want do is to upload it to youtube, quality doesnt really matter anyways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exsonic01 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) During one PBEM match Boom~! What ???!!! all 3 of them dead? 1 shot with 3kill by 155mm. Possibly a single Excalibur shell Those units -knocked out by hammer from sky- are my units I think this is because they were too close. IMO Shockwave or flame from the initial explosion affects on ammunition and fuel tanks of nearby vehicles. Still, it was too brutal.

agusto Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Yeah, that happens sometimes with 155mm shells. But your units were quite bunched up, keep them further apart and arty wont be that devastating. BTW whose icon mod mis this and where can i get it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) BMP-3 and alike never finish to surprise. I have recently witnessed several similar situations: A BMP-3 driving at full speed, hit by an ATGM, destroyed, few seconds later a BTR-82 passes by, secondary explosion on the BMP-3 (huge), the BTR-82 is destroyed. A BMP-3 hit by a 120mm mortar round, huge explosion, nearby BMP-3 destroyed as well. I belive you can't qualify for a CMBS player if you never lost something else due to one of your BMP-3 explosion.

panzersaurkrautwerfer Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I think it'd be a firepower upgrade for the BM-30 would be to simply strap rockets to BMP3s and let fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTR Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 The point is not to rush in with BMP's . Here's what BMP's were designed for: From a platoon reinforced by a tank to to a separate squad: Granted this stuff was designed for the 80's conventional conflict, it still holds when dealing with BMP's when attacking. This also makes sure you keep your troops safe from ERA, APS and secondaries. Try it when playing the Russians. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Nice graphs BTR, do I read them correctly? That's about 50m of spacing between the infantry and the BMPs, and between BMPs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTR Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Yes, that is right. The graph reads "up to" 50m, so the spacing is governed by geography. However the better LoS between squads is, the further to those 50m you want to get. Also, if you notice a tank is 100~200m apart from infantry, that is how late 80's tactics incorporated full scale usage of Arena/Drozd type of APS and K-5 ERA. If your tank lacks those, you would probably want them slightly closer. Also, this area ~250x300m was though to be ideal if squad comms break down due to E-WAR.

I was trying not to closely gather around the vehicles, but it was not easy, I was hiding behind the smoke clouds, and advance under smoke cover. Smoke induces narrower front, and there was a bit of durp with my control. All of those make sometimes a packing of vehicles. I think I need to practice more of smoke advance tactic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
