Apparently there are atheists in foxholes, so maybe...

"Currently, over seven percent of U.S. military personnel in combat zones are officially listed as Atheists. Several armed services have stopped requiring incoming soldiers to pledge to God in their allegiance speech. Even the army doesn’t truly believe there are no Atheists in foxholes."

IL-2 charges insane amount for planes and expansions -- even on sale!
No, not really. Just like with Combat Mission, modern flight sim titles are not cheap to develop. If you want to see insane prices, go look at DCS.

Hope some more experienced combat veteran can comment on what are reasonable combat loads per man or per team.
Easy enough to look up and find with a web search.

ISIS's use of one or more massive, armoured VBIEDs (a sort of precision airstrike-equivalent) to blast their way into prepared positions, followed by an immediate aggressive ground attack, has been very effective against even battle-hardened fighters like the Kurds and the Syrian army and overwhelmed parts of the Iraqi army, with small numbers of attackers. So I don't think that uncons should necessarily be so weak and fodder for conventional troops.
You are entirely missing the point that has already been made, namely that the game isn't about post-war counterinsurgency operations or an entity like ISIS rising to power. If you want uncons that have some serious capabilities, then use the Fighters group instead of combatants.

The reason is game balance.
Battlefront's reasons for creating these games like they have never include notions of balance. If uncons have certain weaknesses built into them, they are there because in all likelihood they are also weaknesses in reality.

Some Marines keeping an eye on things.
Nice one there - for a moment I thought it was a real picture.

The problem is that when I descend to ground level when watching replays, U.S. Army soldiers insist on referring to each other as "Marines." Lots of "Lets go, Marines!" and that sort of thing. I had been under the impression that the Army and Marines were intended to have separate sound files in-game. If so, then Marine sound files have infiltrated the Army's defenses. (At some cost to immersion).
That has to be a mod issue.

When you put people in an insane environment they can't help but do insane things, it's the only way to survive.
So, when was the last time you were in an "insane environment" i.e., in a hot conflict zone? I served with plenty of people in said insane environments, and none of them had to resort to insane actions in order to survive.
I'm with sburke on this - no servicemember is above being held accountable for his actions, and if it turns out he was in the wrong, then so be it.

If you have noting to contribute to this thread on the subject of Afghanistan, kindly stay out of it.
If I want to reply to something you or someone else has written, I darn well will, and nothing you say to me is going to change that.

Did you even bother to read the thread before jumping in with both feet?
Yes, I do. Do you have an issue with me sharing my opinion?

Guys, they aren't creating more expansions for CMSF2. That's been made pretty clear from the beginning of this whole project.

Hardly fawning admiration, I just have massive respect for any nation that can take 25-30 million casualties and still kick the living **** out of their aggressor.
Yeah, call me weird, but I have zero respect for governments that have murdered and imprisoned countless millions without batting an eyelash.

Bolshy and proud of it too!
Well, at least that explains your fawning admiration for a bunch of murderous commie thugs.

Now the refugees tell me, america make shooting around the mine(s), when everyone is fled they move in. 2 week later there is a big fence around the mine and the resources are stolen and go "somewhere else" but no longer to afghanistan. That is reality, they have seen it,
Yeah, color me skeptical about that sort of report. People said the same sort of thing about Iraq ("blood for oil!!!!!!!). If that sort of thing has really been going on, someone would have reported it by now.

John, this is a general discussion forum for Combat Mission, not your personal "this looks cool, so I'll post it here" discussion area. The forum for all this stuff is down below. Quit clogging up this forum with stuff like this.
