That's your conclusion after everything @akd just explained to you? Goodness gracious, that's... sad.

Regardless of whether or not you're right or wrong, your method of communication really needs some serious recalibration.

Yep - you certainly have a penchant for cross-posting the same message in multiple forums and have strayed entirely, completely off the original topic with this one here.

Yes, it's true. This game engine was designed ages ago, when computer hardware wasn't neary as powerful, so we're stuck with it until something better comes along.

Already reported

Production of the SVT-40 began a full year before the Germans invaded. An SVT-38 (and an SVT-40, for that matter) weighs practically the same as an M91/30. Not sure what you are trying to convey by saying "heavily built", but ultimately the main reason why the SVT-40 was dropped is because it took far less time to churn out Mosins. Not being an easy weapon to maintain in the field and accuracy issues didn't help it, either: Translation:

No, they are displayed wherever the round hits - i.e., they aren't placed in a generic location.

Awesome! But, I do find it funny that the second search result is Aerial Photograph of Disneyland.

I went ahead and made a report about it.

Al Murray is also a co-host of the We Have Ways of Making You Talk podcast, where they discuss WWII history. Overall it's good, but for someone who's regularly in the public arena, he does have a strong tendency to stutter a lot when making a point.

No, it plays zero role in ammo selection. Morale and its effects on troops have been discussed at length repeatedly since CM2 was first released, and ammo selection is not a part of that. So, again, please stop spreading misleading information.

Thanks, reported

That is 100% false. Please don't share misinformation about the game, because it just ends up confusing people.

No

And that tells us precisely nothing. The SVT-40 is an interesting case. It's an improvement on the original SVT-38 design, which had issues such as the magazine falling out(!). Then comes along the SVT-40, which was meant to become the main service rifle of the Red Army. In fact, Mosin-Nagant production was ramping down in favor of the SVT-40, but then the Germans invaded. With a massive number of new rifles needed to replace the losses of 1941, back came the Mosins. Meanwhile, yes, the SVT-40 never did live up to its potential. Unless the gas valve is adjusted properly, misfires are a common problem - and it's not an easy weapon to maintain in the field. That, and it has issues with maintaining acceptable accuracy. I have a first-year production SVT-40 from Tula. It's a decent rifle to take to the range, but it is indeed a pain to clean, and I've never been able to group shots well with it.

It was the Mauser G41 that was unreliable. The Walther G41 was as reliable as one could expect from a German self-loading rifle.

In other news, the sun rose in the east today.

Yes, it is! definitely a weird one. Sure is - yet another of the relics the Soviets offloaded on its Arab clients:

The Soviets also sent ISU-152s to Egypt in the 60s and 70s, which in turn were captured in their wars with the Israelis. One interesting conversion was where they removed the main gun and converted them into BTT-1 recovery vehicles: (The tank museum in Latrun, Israel is one awesome place, that's for sure):

EDIT: nevermind

I was about to say I don't think I ever saw a cactus in all my time at NTC, but you beat me to it. (I was never there for active duty, but once I transferred to HHC 1-185 AR in the California Army National Guard, it was our regular drill location).

John, just stop already. You just make more of a fool of yourself every time you post something like this.

It's more to do with the shorter barrel. Firing effectively at more than 300 meters in reality with a 5.56 mm carbine is not easy.

This subforum is about CMCW, not pontificating about what the causes of World War II were. Please take it somewhere else.
