Are you referring to the version with.or without Arena? Any tank with an APS will have a LWR.

The "eye watering" comment is from Lt. General Ben Hodges. http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/policy-budget/warfare/2015/08/02/us-army-ukraine-russia-electronic-warfare/30913397/

The T-90AM article is from January 2015 and I haven't heard anything about it more recently. T-72B3M to the VDV is fact, to the best of my knowledge.

Utilizing forces from the Western and Southern military districts, Russia could conceivably field an invasion force of up to 40 battalion tactical groups.¹ I don't know what that translates to in terms of total personnel since I am not sure what the actual personnel count for a BTG is, but if we assume for the moment that a BTG is roughly 1/3 the size of a US brigade combat team that would be 50-60,000 troops. As for quality: 1 https://www.csis.org/analysis/evaluating-future-us-army-force-posture-europe-phase-i-report, pg 12 2 https://www.csis.org/analysis/evaluating-future-us-army-force-posture-europe-phase-ii-report pg 41

The headline writer seems to think the Crimean peninsula is not in Europe

I believe the times given in the UI are just rounded to the nearest whole minute. If you were to time it on a watch I suspect the elite battery would be a little faster.

It is a known issue, and it's a much broader issue than just the BMP-2M. That it is possible for BMP-2M to occasionally fire missiles under certain circumstances (probably at long ranges at which the 30mm canon will have lost most of its energy) does change that so don't freak out.

Done

I am not sure what the point is in searching after anecdotal evidence. We know that by 1945 the US Army had decided that towed AT guns were poor performers in general compared to vehicular tank destroyers and were replacing the former with the latter as quickly as possible, not just the 57mm, all of them. The ballistics of the 57mm cannon itself is well known. At typical combat ranges it's penetration falls roughly midway between the US 75mm and 76mm cannons so you can compare that to whatever tank and get a fair idea of how it would perform if it ever hit one. It would be likely to penetrate anything from the side at typical ranges but would tend to bounce off most of the frontal area of a Panther or Tiger.

Navigate to Users --> (your user name) --> roaming --> GreenAsJade and delete everything in there. If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas. GAJ rarely visits the CM forums anymore so I don't know how to contact him outside of CM Helper.

Have you tried reporting the bug through the Help tab?

I have not tested bazooka accuracy but I do remember that in CM1 the 'schreck had better accuracy on account of its higher velocity and I assume that has been carried forward into CM2

10 panzerschreck teams -- Regular, Normal, +0 -- vs 10 Panther A at about 155 meters. First shots only. Kneeling behind wall, 150 shots 10 hits, 140 misses Prone 13 hits, 137 misses https://www.dropbox.com/s/crnfc5289lyjaq1/Panzerschreck accuracy prone 001.bts?dl=0 Consider the issue looked into.

Szamveber also wrote Days of Battle. Both of these books feature color maps.

Khriz vs. Abrams (side on) at 2000m 100 missiles fired. Hit rate: 93% Volley fire rate: 100% Kill rate vs. Abrams on first strike (side on): over 90% (I stopped counting after the first test). https://www.dropbox.com/s/nf3av4qvvdgae2e/Khnriz vs Abrams 001.bts?dl=0

I only tried it on Iron.

I just plopped down a bunch of crater of various sizes in the CMBN 3.12 editor and set a US machine gun crew in the same action square. In every instance they stuck to the crater like glue. I literally can't get them to not take cover in it regardless of facing, which mirrors my experience in every other CM game.

I'm saying it doesn't happen under the circumstances described in the original post, which would suggest it doesn't happen at all with small arms caliber ammunition.

Oddly, this game mechanic works as described in Normandy and Red Thunder but not at all in Final Blitzkrieg.

The Khriz in-game seems to average around 40 seconds to reload both missiles, so it actually can already fire 4 in one minute, it just can't reload 4 in one minute.

I just tested 40 Khirz missile shots against T-90AMs at 2000 meters. 37 hit. If the flight path even touches upon tree canopies, bushes or any other type of foliage accuracy will be severely degraded. From what I can see of the OPs pics that may have happened. My own experience in PBEMs is that they are worth every penny, especially if you take advantage of their unique ability to target through multi-spectral smoke. Something could be done about reload time if an authoritative source can be cited.

216 in inventory on February 1st 1945, although there may well have only been 11 on the Western Front since the Wehrmacht was preparing for Operation Spring Awakening and moving most of their panzers into Hungary at this point.

After a little on-line research it appears the Army's decision to not adopt the Lewis was because of personal animosity between Colonel Lewis and the Army's Chief of Ordnance. The Navy and Marine Corp did use it. By the time the Bren came along 20 years later the BAR was too well established. Interestingly, the British did hold a direct competition between the BAR and the Lewis and recommend the BAR. The recommendation was never acted upon because of financial constraints.

Anti tank guns that could reliably penetrate the Tiger I were the minority in the Allied armies until 1945.

On the y axis. They apparently do not make the same adjustment with regards to the x axis, which is rarely of any consequence but does occasionally lead to problems targeting tanks with highly off center turrets e.g. IS-2.
