I think that comes down to CM having only very specific concerns when it comes to kit. Can it kill, can it move, can it survive. Issues that would impact it's ability to actually get to the battlefield are simply not relevant. Surviving and functioning past a 1 to 2 hour time frame- not relevant. It is in those areas that a piece of kit can prove to be really good or really bad. Fuel, ammo reloads, icy roads etc are never a problem in CM. The Sherman while it may not measure up one on one to a Panther could be produced in numbers and be expected to make it to the battle no problem. I'd much rather have 5 tanks that I could count on to be there that might be just average tanks versus 1 tank that might not show up that is a killer.

Because it is too uncool. Now 2Droll2Troll, that would have been cool. It's all in the presentation. Though one does have to wonder what your intent was about criticizing Ukraine over the Russian proxies shooting down that airliner. What has the UKR gov't have to do with that. Past that yeah the Higher UKR military leadership has been soundly criticized including by Ukrainians. But what do you expect considering how much it had been dominated by the oligarchs and infiltrated by GRU. It is getting better.

Wait a minute, Elvis is dead? But I just saw him in Vegas!

wait are you calling Ian and I random?

later tonight was posted 11 hours ago. WTF did you do roll out of bed at the crack of dawn and make that post? Your men grow impatient. Glory can not wait!

damn, showed me! How can I even begin to consider a reply after such an argument destroying response? Boy you just wait. When I turn 10 years old I am gonna have a killer come back to that.

And even better chairman of the one up Ken department

lol true am just waiting for this campaign's version.

dude that was just so wrong. my eyes, my eyes, my ears, no my eyes!! However I did find it much more informative than the putin bot links. Then again the Foreman grill commercial would have been more useful. Speaking of which!

you do back it all up right? ... just asking.

rotflmao. Gawd civilian life isn't so far off from the military after all. Today's comment- bosses are like diapers. They are always on your a** and full of s**t.

noooooooooooooooooooo not another steam thread, please!!

Slacker. That actually is a massive undertaking. I worry for your sanity.

might just be indigestion. Did you burp?

I just wish there were some identifiable logic as to which AS will allow me to buddy aid someone. I don't even need something on map, just some info. If I really need to I end up just dumping a whole squad around the guy. Eventually someone will do it. I had messed around at one point playing using dismounted drivers that I renamed as medics. Problem is as individuals, getting them to do buddy aid was just a major headache and not worth it. The immersion of having medics was broken by them all being apparently incompetent.

I suspect the issue isn't so much a single download, but a source to know you have all of it. Maybe named in a format so you know there are 4 and they are named as such. Perhaps what might be best is simply a page that lists all the mods and links. I personally don't need a single file, but it does help to know all the files you need and how to get them. I think you could have gotten a way with a page with links. Hell you could have just stuck a text file with copy and paste of the links. Oh NOW he tells me!

I believe those were the exact words Dick Cheney said to Harry Whittington.

I don't disagree. I think the combination of the state of the Saudi populace and the gov't sponsored fanatically conservative religion will eventually bring down the House of Saud. The Middle East is well and truly f**ked.When the moment comes, and it will, that we find a cheap alternative energy source...... but that's politics. We now return you to your previous program already in progress - back to the differences between export and non export variations of the M1

you know just because- "filthy arabs" sounds not too far off the British Imperial attitude towards the nations they and the French occupied and impoverished. I am all for people taking responsibility for their own lives and what not, but we in the west seem to frequently have this particular disdain for the effects of abject poverty. Hey I'll admit I share it. I did one trip to India and I scream and carry on whenever they talk of sending me again. Bad enough I have a trip coming to Nigeria, Cameroon and Angola. The company puts me up in great hotels- I still don't want to go. I don't however disparage the folks who's lives are confined to those conditions or expect that somehow after living in a dirt floor hovel, they are suddenly gonna keep the dang tank they are expected to die in spic and span. Just sayin...

I was curious about that Who comment, but I see no way to search on it without unforeseen issues.... will just have to leave that one be.

yeah between the commands and terrain modification you can do in later titles I'd really like to see it brought up to date- in answer to Ken I would pay all over again as a brand new title. And yes I'd pay $75 for the base module.

dictatorships and an educated populace isn't really a very good combo. Kind of like a tuna fish/liver wurst sandwich on a cinnamon raisin bagel. Eventually a violent reaction is bound to happen.

Well? I am sitting here on a boring configure change for one of our APAC offices. I need to be enertained.

I built an M8 and it got shot, so I built another M8, it got shot fell over into the swamp, then I built a 3rd M8.....

No you misunderstood. That was a reference to various hair effects. He said beards and Brazlians were in.
