Falklands mod? Genius!

No the rest of america its a major problem. Even fashion wise bostons stuck in the 90s lol shelltoe adidas have been in style since the early 80z

Oh i know. Pervitin in 3rd Reich ( sorta ) benzedrine (sorta) But my memory isnt too short you old bastid i wasnt born until 85 lmao! I may like the song mothers lil helper but i wasnt even a twinkle for decades after it. But yes youre absolutely right. Just interestingly its never caught on in yhe NE corridor

Interestingly while meth has really taken grip in most of the US in the NE corridor from NYC through Boston its the same old thing its always been coke and heroin. meths been around years but never got big outside the gay community. The heroin is a MAJOR problem in Boston though.

This was tested a fww mnths ago and proven they dont unless the dust cloud u see kicked up by airbursting rounds is directly on the vehicle. so if the game sees a 155mm air burst one square over the tank wont suffer damage. This drastially changed my play style. as redfor able by use of modules of arty and playing woth rof and tubes to keep a 'linus cloud' of dirt and arty over the enemy tanks and forces advancing or enemy positoons for a large portion of the game. before it was all airburst to kill inf. and degrade subsystems. now i have to be careful to add some general rounds to the mix to make sure tank subsystems are degraded. this is rlly crycial and can make a world of difference when it comes to direct fire combat..

Ive been totally mia. but jumping in idk if the patch fixed this but it was discovered that in CM arty on airburst would NOT degrade tank subsystems even antennaes etc. Only ground impacting arty would. which feels like a bug. not saying AB should blow up abrams but a heavy air burst barrage to kill the crunchies advancing with armor should also fu*k up external equipment on abrams. unfortunately simulations cant model every little thing or we.d have fun times when the crews personal stuff etc on the turret bustles caught on fire.. i remember reading accounts from the 03 Thunder Run about that. obviously it caused consternaition at first usually wondering whether they were on fire or "wtf is burning"

I get it. best bet me thinks accepting that theyre not mobile and using ur saxhorns. Especially in a btr tac group which has a strong atgm element

Wait wait. what at 14 teams have 3 men? whaddya get a 3 man if you buy them as a specialized team? The 2 man team prollyndoesnt spot as well bc the extra eyes. at14s are really useful even with a cover armor arc bc their thermals spot US infantry really well compared to lots of other russian 'equipment'

Nope i seen em all. hopefully they all come through and dont end up being made then endlessly complained about.... honestly most of those are things others care more abt than me I want an atgm toggle and no lwr abrams lol.

Oh i didnt say they were possible..i said why add a leave plt cmdr only button to the ui before any of those.

Kino- it may not be doctrine however and plus the ppl would complain their squads had no leader. instead of all but the leader leaves i think detaching a scout element is the best solution. you can use them to scout or for bmps. Theres rlly no way to make everyone happy ajd a ui addition just for cmdr to stay would be a huge waste when we could have say an atgm use only toggle. or follow vehicles. or hull down. or shoot n scoot.

Igla plt cmdrs are perfect. theyre a single man. Also theres a few other redfor units that have a single man as a plt leader. Also on map mortars or off map the mortar hq units split a scout team off em those make good bmp cmdrs. then ops team xo team etc. split off a couple men if you can Snipers and rpos shouldnt be used imo theyre too valuable for what theyre made for. theres plenty of extra baggage not really needed on redfors side that make good bmp cmdrs. for example truck drivers. every truck has a bmp commander. empty the truck into your mens pockets and have the driver dotch the vehicle and put him.in a bmp. People are of 2 minds on the ammo thing. i havent noticed my.men tire that much more easily so i absolutely load down every crunchy with everything frm everyvehicle possible. this means like for us having 1500 556 1500 762 some at4s as many 40mm and javelins they can carry per squad. I hate seeing a truck brad or bmp go up with weapons inside. Same with russians. i try to divvy up the ammo and get heavy mgs their ammo but i spread it arnd so every squad has anither thousand rounds or so plus all the rpgs and rpg7 warheads... Some prefer to keep their men light and pull vehicles up as needed. i often find if my.men are running outta ammo tryn to bring ammo to them or to exfil them will get them killed and more than once the fact they were loaded down let them outlast the opposing team in terms of ammo to firefight with. One poster on here in particular did a good study and found his men almost always had xtea ammo. me too. but not always and i tend to saylet tanks tsrget lighr for trns and turns on stuff i dnt even know enemy troops are in. Howeber when my troops DO use up their ammo they tend to need as much as possible and NOW not when a ifv or truck comes. especially redfor bc that bmp will prolly finish ur crunchies wen it goes nuclear wen a mouse farts in china

Just remember even if you dont see them theres a high chance theyre there. this especially applies to enemy concentrations such as when they attack. tanks rarely dont have crunchies nearby.

Yes kino using the whole 152mm batt on low long will basically keep your enemy what i call a linus (dirty kid with cloud of dirt from snoopy) cloud of arty arnd your oppos advance. Testing revealed air urst arty doesnt degrade vehicle subsystems (ATTN BFC) that should so now i use 2 batteries. one with ab for US infantry to strip em from their armor and another again for infantry, lucky hits, and also degradation of enemy afvs subsystems. The only thing more wnjoyable than killin an abrams is getting a hit:gun on an abrams with an ags17 and turning that thing into a pillbox. i learned new cusswords that turn

Even when i attack as russians its really me seizing ground or terrain and then defending it. its completely different than a us attack. the us you aytack and use tempo ans violence of movement. it wont work in BS for Redfor. Gotta grab stuff jam atgms in it then sneak a couple tanks up so eveeythkngs in place and ready to start fighting the us counterattack or withdrawal or movement your move has forced. Those tunguskas are priceless for uavs. also if you use them to engage an abrams ( if youre sure its alone ) it can stun the abrams and your stgms will have a field day. 2 khriz and a bmp2m and a tunguska are great hunter killer teams for us armor... again though the only real way to really be successful is never move armor or vehicles in view of us armor or troops even rlly. And alwayd alwayd always try to have your khriz or tank sitting still and let the amis pop into view or whatever. you ll lose the spotting contest every time all the time if you try to drive a t90 or khriz up in view of an abrame and start blastung. The inf numbers are .. you gotta get used to them to make yourown calculus but theyre definitely not useless and are essential against the US i really asvise against russian air anyways arty cant be shot down and therussians are good at it. trps lotsa arty. Inf probabl wont kill an abeams. not atgm mean a reg rpg7 squad rpg 26 etc. but ive had it happen. and bradleys way more. so no theyre not useless and ya need them as a screen for your men

Of WW2 i recmmend RT least and ost front is my fav. it just wasnt as fun aa the others to me and has the least content. I heavily recommend FI *ONLY* IF you buy GL with it. GL made FI not the other way around ya dig? BN is the most fleshed out ans I love it and FB is really great too.. Id say cont. with BN or get BS. or FB.

being rt has notging to do with it. i prefer cm turn based. WiTEs scope just seemed so huge

Not war in east 2 steel.panthers 2 War in the east while interesring seems one of those games id try to play and never start too daunted by its scope. i suspect cmano would be similar.

I may look into war in the east 2. a bex based game in 2017 no thx

I highly DO NOT recommend Ambroses citizen soldiers or dday. Besides dishonoring Allied war dead by on the one hand acting like it was the West vs all of Germany but then portraying the Germans as bumbling incompetents he does a disservice to the Allied serviceman. Also theres the LST icident. apparently the entire crew and passengers of the LST were dead or so it was thought. but there was a survivor and he got mad. because Ambrose literally made up some story about a Royal Navy boat driver refusing to go further in and a US officer putting a gun to his head to force him in. the guy who was actually there pointed out that no, noonw pulled a gun, thw RN guys were just as valiant as anyone else that day, the guy in question did get shot but by Germans tryn to get rhe men in closer and finaly the whole incident just didnt happen. I also find Ambroses open Brit bashing tiresome. im not a big fan of monty and stuff but ambrose is ridiculous and monty isnt all the brits. i think monty shuda been canned but im not a general and he was pretty unpopular amongst his peers too ( his troops adored him though )

Oh idk steve. i never have problems whistlin "mothers little helper" wandering around bunker hill projects or nasty parts of town at nite. Mattapan though ya im good

+1 Absolutely right. I cringe and sometimes lose sleep over things i did to feed my son

"Whaaat a drag it is gettnnnnn ollld...." (Stuck in my head. nothing changes does it )

Whilst not about a real war per se Ive noticed a huge difference in say portrayal of US policies and activities in Narcos on netflix ( US made etc) vs Pablo Escobar El Patron del Mal ( Colombian made ) and i think its a shame that people arent more involved ( and im 100 percent US go 'murica ) or educated in fixing or at least acknowlwdging my.natioms shameful activities in central.and south america. even Mr Escobar - as terrible as he was the US basically and the Colombian fovt using the guys wife and children as dangling bait to assasinate him... look thats just not what America says its about or what we.re supposed to be about. same with killing him. sure i know its cuz some ppl there and probably here wuda gotten in hot water but jeez man..

On ukraine..skifs are awesome. unfortunayely the autoloader makes russian tanks sooo vulnerable to losing a crewmember. still even bulat spotting is so bad i always unbutton my t64s. always. The cmdrs DO have binocs. For ukraine a great killer of russian armor is precision arty. you cant count on much else besides the skifsmore thoughts on ukr later. i had a great snippet and i blanked out
