FAI

They've been after us since CMBO. The problem is that the people with the money don't have the imagination. "Yes, yes... it looks good, but what good is it? I mean, we haven't had Sherman tanks in service for 50 years". "Picture it with Abrams instead of Shermans". "OK, but that's still a Sherman". That sort of thing We're making CM:SF for you guys, but the overlap with military training (not just US based, believe me!) is so blatantly obvious. Steve </font>

Anyone from Battlefront ever tried asking a Syrian general? I think they can find one that can be bribed with a beta testing account, an entry in the credits and a special edition CMSF signed by all Battlefront's crew

There was...? :eek: </font>

You're giving some people here nightmares and heart attacks....

There was...? :eek:

Still waiting....., ever so patiently

I'm rather confused here. That kind of tactic only worked when the enemy was easily identified (uniform, camps, heavy weapon emplacement, fighting vehicles, the works). Not the kind of elusive enemy they face in Iraq. I can see instead they wander into hostile teritory, and since the insurgents generally have better intelligence, walk right into an ambush, without armor.

Oh, do tell...

A modern RPG round is enough. Or two older RPG round striking roughly the same spot (the first to defeat the slat armour). Or any tandem warhead.

Err, anyone got any definite sources to the Hez' claim of sinking a Super Dvora FPB?

Against Kornett armed entrenched infantry? Burning wrecks is my guess.

I hope your joking. Without an instructor I doubt they would ever figure it out. </font>

At least if it is possible to simulate equipment captured during a battle, it should have massive penalties for using it. Like, having succesfully captured a largely intact AFV, it would take minutes for Syrian troops to figure out how to swing the turret, then learning the the targetting and firing procedures....

B, China isn't ready yet to take Taiwan with their own initiative, but will likely to snatch the opportunity if it arises regardless of their readiness A, the people is split, so I guess so is the Army B, but elements of the Army will put up a fight, at least the loyalist B, Indonesia, Korea and Japan are not in a position to challenge China's might, better stay neutral (formally) B, though am not so sure, the US will be initially hesitant to commit ground troops, probably mostly due to insufficient number available on short notice.

I too believe that ROK's military is up to Western standards. But the problem is we don't know much about DPRK's actual military capabilities. Anyone has the North's OOB?

As most non-American are at least mildly amused that there are people over there having unhealthy appetite for foreign military intervention outside their border.

There's something (wearable) that can stop a 50 cal Barret at point blank range? :eek:

Since insurgency will not be in CM:SF, so Hizbullah is out of the picture too. I doubt Hizbullah will field anything significant in the event of an American thrust, they don't have front line troops formation afterall.

Don't give Charles a real stroke, will ya.... I still want to play this game in my lifetime, ya know.

Depressing indeed. It's well in my lifetime, for God's sake! There were times when the end of the world is at least counted in millenias to come. Suddenly those doomsday survival kits seem to be more attractive. Steve is already planning to stock on at least 20.000 rounds of military grade ammo in his little fort

I also believe that HAMAS is more likely to take a more pragmatic style. When it's their turn to actually govern rather than fight, most radicals tend to be less, well, radical. Radicalism isn't exactly the best way of successfully governing a delicate country, and I'm sure there are enough heads in HAMAS that understand that. Sure, they'll frequently rile at Israel (they're HAMAS, afterall), but actual violence on HAMAS' part will see a decline. I hope.

Bad example, I know But, still, I'd like to know the limitation, if it's already established. I'm guessing scavenging from friendly forces is a given, but what about from enemy equipment, like small arms? Perhaps a la Close Combat?

Not likely for the same reasons given for CMx1. And that is, by and large using the enemy's weapons is a bad idea. In fact, I just read an account of a soldier in Ramadi (I think it was there) that got cut off and holed up in an Iraqi house along with some other soldiers. This one soldier decided to use an AK-47 that the homeowner had on hand. The result of firing that gun out the window was a whithering amount of incoming fire from other US units. The rest of the guy's units screamed at him to not do that again, and he didn't Steve </font>

Would someone tell me what is this "scalar weapon/technology" all about? I read the description in Wikipedia and it made my head hurt....

Do you have any examples of such CMAK scenarios?
