Vergeltungswaffe

That looks like a detraining under fire exercise, to get off that quick. Also, those are T-55's not T-34's.

Very nicely done. That will make for some very interesting modern battles.

Personally, I get more immersion out of SF2 than BS. I haven't played enough CW yet to compare because I'm up to my armpits in FR and I'm not climbing out anytime soon.

You're never going to see F-35's doing gun runs. It's all about stand off whenever possible and they're not putting expensive front line fighters in range of a golden BB. I think they should keep the A-10 for low intensity conflicts, but like I said, still manpads in the poorest armies, so you really have to walk a fine line on risk vs target value.

I'm sure this will generate some responses, but here's my .02. SF2 is fantastic. Blufor definitely outclasses Redfor, but the challenge is often to win while taking no, or almost no casualties. There's no APS here, so ATGM's are still scary. Now in BS anything in LOS is potentially dead as the lethality is max in that module, but the challenge in SF2 isn't far behind that. One of the best things about SF2 is that there's a metric s*** ton of content. Scenarios, Campaigns, mods, and so on. MOUT ops are so fun, stressful, and immersive and SF2 has them in spades. Finally, as you said, the variety of equipment and nations is very appealing. Tooling around in British recon AFV's while trying not to die is great fun.

The problem is getting to be survivability at low altitudes since every Tom, Dick, and Achmed has a manpack these days. The A-10 is a fantastic weapons system, but gun runs are seriously risky now. I suspect drones will become the weapon of choice for up close and personal CAS when standoff weapons don't fit the mission profile.

Totally.

Those are always very satisfying.

Second that. You are very much appreciated @Bootie and we are blessed for all the effort you put out on our unwashed, ungrateful behalf.

Those 251/21's are brutal.

The Opel Blitz holds 19 plus a driver.

Likely very specific. I have been playing RT/FR a lot and I haven't seen any evidence of the old behavior. The first mission of the Cross of Iron campaign has so much Soviet artillery raining down for so long that I was shocked at the lack of chicken run action.

Exactly what I've done for years. Would just be nice to have a quick, easy points drop down or the like.

Agreed. It would definitely be nice to have more choices, including being able to set a points number.

Continuing to make me drool with anticipation...

Capital idea!

I see MOS's wheels turning on his Alarmeinheiten partisans!

Since that's just the name of the 3 campaign pack, I doubt it will cause much confusion since nothing will appear with that name in their campaign list.

You're only going to get one first time through, so I would highly advise playing 79. M48's are so much fun.

They might even have parrots pinin' for the fjords.

That should be good. Rubble maps are a blast (pun intended).

I'm sorry, but every time I read Spritze or Spritzer, all I can see is something like this:
