    I saw RF drone footage of a MLRS firing at Rf positions then driving across the city to this Sport Life gym and reverse in. The RF knew what was there and bombed it in the same drone footage YT upload. The explosion seems aimed to flatten the gym and the ground floor adjacent.

    Not sure if the rest of the building was flattened as well but the gym doesnt exist anymore.

    Good RF use of drones and a precision strike, I guess.

    If those units were still there. The strike occurred at night, that vid was during daylight. Wiped out the storage and hiding spot for sure, we'll never know about the launchers.

    I play a QB and hit tank with two artillery cannon and it continued to drive towards me and killed btrs. I think that it would stop but it didn't. Is there special artillery for killing tank that I do not use?

    Have you tried a precision artillery strike? I am assuming so, but can't tell by your question.

    Here may be another helpful link:

    How does anyone survive that, let alone run aftwards!

    If you check the later post that is from youtube (a couple of posts down). The last frame before the vid stops you see what sure looks to be a singed figure come out of the smoke plume. Crazy to have "survived" if so.

    Looked more to me like a part of the tank - like one of the wheels  ...but   whatever the weapon used was it obliterated the tank

    EDIT:
    (the last five seconds or so) Looks like a leap from the burning hulk and running strides (to the bottom of the screen) with flaming pant legs to me...  zoomed in. But yeah, whatever the weapon did it's job that is for sure.

    Nothing fishy.  It was reported by various Canadian news and media.  Outside Ukraine and Russia, the largest population of Ukrainians is in Canada.  

    And doing up a patch like that can be done in a day or two.  Nothing hard about it.  

    Also, the Canadian sniper with the world record sniper shot is over there with that brigade.  He got out of the military a number of year back and signed up for the International Legion.  According to the guy over there I was talking to, 'Wali' already has a impressive number of kills.  Apparently, he is averaging about 40 confirmed a day.  Of course, that might be some fanciful propaganda as well.  

    Since Ramzan Kadyrov says he is in Ukraine....

    2. Also, in clannish Chechnya, there was a huge amount of bribery to bring clans over to the Russian side, or at least to stand aside. Ukrainians won't be bought.

     

    I hope you are right, however I saw this in a previous twitter posting and if true it makes you wonder a little about that for some of those folks:

    EDIT:
    In March 2020, Russia introduced a new rocket for the TOS-1A with a range of 10 km, achieved in part by weight and size reductions of a new fuel air explosive mixture in the warhead, while also increasing its power. Minimum range is extended from 400 m to 1.6 km, so the shorter-range M0.1.01.04M rocket will be retained for close combat environments.[4] In 2018, Russian NBC Protection Troops received 30 TOS-1A Solntsepyok (Sunburn) 220 mm multiple rocket launchers.[5]

    Wonder if those tubes are loaded with the Thermobaric missles? If so kind of hard to deny the use if they try.

    It would be Fascinating to know what Xi is thinking. I think we can assume he is incandescently angry at Putin for being completely incompetent. I Shudder to think about the readiness inspections, and audits the Chinese military is about to go thru. I suspect that keeping phantom troops on the payroll, and many other forms of military/industrial complex corruption just became a shooting offense, maybe worse than that.

    There is an app for that in China!!  No lie. 🙂

    Unable to Fire Main Gun on Tank

    My issue is that it doesn't work.  Doing what you describe always results in a shot of whichever CM loading screen, not the shot I wanted from the game.  Using Nvidia capture works.

    And for me I get a beautiful screen capture of the CM battlefield NOT the main screen. You guys got some setup in Windows porked or something. Not that is matters as you are using Nvidia capture. I am just pointing out that the old Prt Sc key works just fine for this user of Windows 10 Pro.

    I am using Windows 10 Pro and when I am within CM I can use the print screen key just fine. Set up your screen for the shot and just press the Prt SC key and then Win key or ctrl+Alt+Tab out to paste the screen shot in Photoshop, Paint or whatever. Always works. Not sure why other people have issues with it?

    PBEM error message - cannot save

    in CM2 General Tech Support

    Posted · Edited by Blazing 88's

    No idea if this would be related.... A direct download to the CM "Incoming" folder does not work, at least for me doing it manually.

    For me to be able to see and load a PBEM scenario without issue manually, I have to save my incoming email to a folder other than the CM "Incoming" folder. I then transfer the download to the CM "Incoming" folder. Doesn't show up to load for me any other way.
