Or using systems like the RS-24 LARS (SS-X-29). The pros in bonus is to say "look how hightech our nuclear weaponry is (with the MIRV (Multiple Independently targeted Reentry Vehicle))". In the manner they done it with the hypersonic missile (Kinzhal), even it is not confirmed it was one. The cons are the vehicle could be geolocalized but may could be protected with a mass S-400 area ?
Note : In a perfect world, where all russian equipment do what it was pretend to doHeh, I wrote an essay on MIRVs in high schoool in the 198somefink.

Perhaps everybody should realize that the survival and future of the EU is for a large part dependent on the German economy AND German money. Without a strong German economy, no EU. It's bitter, but we need Russian gas for a couple of years more. Those politically responsible for this outrage should be held responsible though. This is the legacy of Merkel.
I would like to add that the gas infrastructure from the USSR to the west (or what has become the west in the meantime) predates all current and recent politicians (we´re talking late 1960s).
The attached corruption is however more recent (russian top jobs for former German and Austrian polticians is more of a Putin era thing).
If somebody can pull off a genuine Energiewende, it´s the Germans. It will be well invested money since everybody will have to wean themselves off fossil fuels anyway.
This is of course a major undertaking and will take years, regardless of moralistic huffing and puffing from countries who (currently) have easier access to energy .

I think we can quit with the biggest fascist awards. Anybody even competing is on the other side. Doesn't matter if they are the worst or runner up worst.

It's not "at this point". They were always like that. Everybody is so focused on evils of Nazi Germany because they lost.
In the past century russians have murdered times and times more people than Germany. Ukraine alone went through three genocides.
And one of those was right after WW2 (in 1946) because Ukrainians dared to resist russian re-occupation. They couldn't care less that they will look no different from people they just fought - so they murdered 300000 Ukrainians in that year (among a total million of people incl. murdered in Belarus and Moldova, that were also resisting).
They never really stopped.
If the Germans had won, not a single ukranian would exist today. Most of the people in this thread would not exist. The nazis had an extermination plan for practically everybody.

The classic example of this is the 1920s/1930s shift of the German population from supporting Communism to supporting the Nazism. At one point the actively political portion of the population was split fairly evenly between the two ideologies, but once Nazism became dominant the Communists switched sides.

Um, no. The KPD (communist party of Germany) was never very strong in Weimar Germany (10-16%). The NSDAP certainly didn´t grow at the expense of the KPD. In fact the KPD was forbidden so that the Nazis could claim their takeover to be democratically legitimate (Ermächtigungsgesetz).

...soldiers fighting for their homes, in the land of their ancestors...
History is full of soldiers fighting for the lands of their ancestors on their home turf...and losing anyway.
i.e all the native peoples of Americas, practically all of Africa, practically all of the meditaranean basin was conquered by the Romans, etc. etc.

Yugoslavia was an artificial country, with different cultures and ethnicities, held together by force and terror - literally like Russia always was.
Also russian soldiers were doing genocide together with serbs in there so a bad bad bad example, don't do it again.
All countries are artificial. The belief in a natural nation state of a pure people is the kind of thing Putin believes in.
If you want to be on the winning side of history stick with the artificial agglomerates (Unites States of..., Eur...Union)

Even talking languages - how come ukrainians, belarusians, poles and czechs mostly understand each other without vocabulary - but russians understand nobody?
If we were the same and closely connected - wouldn't it make sense for languages to be similar? But russians instead spent 300 years trying to eradicate slavic languages of Ukraine and Belarus.
During the yugoslav wars in the 90s the serbs/croats/bosnians tried to explain to anybody who was listening that they they spoke totally different languages and had irreconcilable cultural differences. 2 Generations later not so much.
Read wikipedia on slavic languages and how they are related.

I liked the 1984 dune movie. There. Take that.
I read foundation around that time. The new series just shares the title I think. Ho, hum. I´m not sure that you can make a foundation movie, too abstract. The other day somebody told me they were thinking of making a Iain banks "culture" movie or series. I don´t think that will work either.

I prefer the simulation to be as good as possible. You can always find a workaround for the points system.
The points system can´t possibly reflect all contingencies.

Heh, I recently played this a few times as the french against the (german) AI. you can dislodge the germans from the hill by carefully targeting each floor with a supporting tank and advancing with the reserves you get from behind. Also you can target some of the buildings on the hill from the wood below
I managed to kick the germans out of the town, but getting all the objectives, nope, too difficult.

Wow, great post.
I'm no art critic -- but I think his paintings should have qualified him for admission. He obviously has talent, and would have benefited much from Art School. I had a statistics teacher (who was Jewish) in high school. He said that there was nothing more dangerous than an uneducated philosopher and that Hitler was an uneducated philosopher. Which begs the question: if he had post-secondary education, would he still birth Nazism?
The ideology was well established before Hitler joined, so Nazism would have been a political factor in any case. Wheteher they could have taken over Germany without him, who knows?

I totally agree, but I was being snarky that the US would not be amused if the envisioned 2% of GDP weren´t spent at least in part on US arms.

But as always Russia is lying about the facts, isn't it?
https://icds.ee/what-is-hidden-in-russias-military-budget/
And there's also this to consider.
"This should come as a relief for Europe and for NATO,” said Siemon Wezeman, a senior researcher with SIPRI. “But of course, budget and intentions are distinct. Russia is still strong enough to make a mess out of things.”
And we know you guys usualy do. So yes, let's do the math, but let's do it properly.
Fair enough. Budget and intentions is true for all sides. For fun´s sake (before this thread is locked) imagine Europe actually integrating its armies and actually spending 2% of GDP but not on US arms.
-
Defence spending: Nato europe: 1,5% of GDP, Russia: 4,3% of GDP
Nato Europe GDP: 17 trn $, Russia 1,6 trn$
(do the math)

What Euri asked, and in addition if you installed from the newest complete installer (V2.01), is the campaign fixed?

Also had a hard time with this at first, but then I discovered:
bit of a spoiler:
The bradleys contain Javelin launchers.

Thank god I keep an email archive back to the early 2000s. My CMSF1 purchase wasn´t in the database anymore.

Cool, thanks for the update.

How were the scenario victory conditions converted from CMSF to CMSF2?
Since CMSF2 will support the much improved victory conditions of CMx2 V4, were the scenarios upgraded in this respect?
-
CMSF2 yay!

re: UGVs, especially when moving cross contry, wouldn´t an operator have to be "at the wheel" literally all the time? I mean, compared to a UAV that will fly in on a preprogrammed path and only need to be be babysitted for the important part of its mission.
