    6 SMGs were added to the rifle company HQ as spares in a June 1944 change.  6 additional BARs as well.

    That is almost certainly describing the angle of the shaped charged liner, and 120-160 degrees is going to result in an EFP.  I don't see any reason to think that the APS relies on a blast or fragmentation charge detonating at or near the vehicle and affecting a wide cone.  A fragmentation charge that simply sprays shrapnel in a cone would be fairly inefficient and and huge step backwards in potential collateral damage.  It would also have zero potential to defeat a kinetic projectile.  An aimed EFP would reduce collateral compared to a blast/fragmention warhead and would have the potential to hit a kinetic penetrator with enough force to at least affect its stability.

    AK-12 is pretty conservative.  Just an update to the basic design to address several issues that held the AK-74M back as a modern rifle, including a proper (not improvised) rail system. Also, they still haven't made a decision on replacement.
     
    More of the imagineering seen above:

    Cut-out on left-side appears to be for the ejection port.  This shows clearly how deeply recessed the actual turret wall is behind the outer shell.

    I think the procurement goal for "Armata tanks" may be confused with new tracked AFVs in general.  I can find stated goals for "Armata tanks" and goals for Boomerang wheeled vehicles, but no numbers for other Armata-based vehicles or Kurganets-based vehicles.

    If you find a weapon that is using stock sounds, let me know.  I've not looked into a distant small arms mod for the latest version yet, but will consider it.

    Now this is getting amusing.  I'm sorry, but you need to spend less time constructing arguments and posting here, and more time playing the game.

    Then stop commenting on development needs for a game you know almost nothing about.

    akd got a reaction from ninetofive in AKD sound mod (all inclusive)   
    As promised, here is a BETA version of my sound mod combining all previous work into one universal mod for CMx2 titles. There may also be a few small updates since my last release, but don't expect big changes if you have previously used my mod in CMSF or the WWII titles. There are specific modules for modern sounds so you can pull them out for the WWII titles, although any problematic overlaps should be minimal.
     
    (edit: PM me for dropbox link.)
     
    Hope it helps with enjoyment of Combat Mission: Black Sea! I am very proud to have participated in development of this title. Black Sea is one of BFC's best yet.

    Yeah, worded it ****tily, my fault.
     
    Alot of the supposed "claims" regarding plans and capabilities of most things Russian come from sources that are inadvertently given too much credit, and their over-the-top boasts are often mistakenly claimed as what Russia is itself trying to do.  Like the Armata having a ton of 30mm's etc. But in truth, the source given are just themselves utter trash.
     
    Some of its intentional by Russia strongk trolls, some is mistranslated but well-intended, but a not-insignificant bit of us are guilty of just intentionally reading into the over-the-top claims and ignoring the actual ones, and using the former as a basis for an opinion.  
     
    It boils down to information sources and their credibility, and their nature and quality being inherently very very very different in regards to the intention of information presented.  And then the fact that they're in a totally different language that Google translate loves to butcher into nearly-unreadable format that'd make ME jealous
