  1. I rarely use 'Target' for area fire for just this reason, 'Target Briefly - 60 seconds' gets you the same result, but it saves you ammo & work too!
  2. Those stonemasons really did get everywhere.
  3. Technically that's (part of) what your tentative contact markers are doing.
  4. I'd agree that aircraft do seem more vulnerable now, but I couln't say for sure there's been a change, it just feels that way.
  5. TBH I couldn't think of a decent topic title, but I found this article rather interesting (and somewhat cheering given the otherwise rather bleak tone of the news right now): https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/jan/27/dont-look-up-an-actual-comet-wiping-out-earth-would-be-avertable-scientists-say PS - The numbers given for destroying an asteroid the size of Ceres are simply staggering.....We'd probably end up with half the world paying Iran, North Korea (& everybody else with a reactor) to speed up their nuclear weapon & missile programmes!
  6. Strongly suggests that they have no real desire for confrontation, doesn't it? Also suggests that 'Elites will be Elites' no matter what flags they fly.
  7. Apparently a coup is suddenly on the cards: https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-russia-tensions-fully-fledged-russian-invasion-could-include-cyber-attacks-and-a-coup-nato-warns-12527348
  8. More from the article: Maybe Ukraine should try doing some thinking for itself. Seems to me like the west (& especially their media) are fully ready to fight Russia, right down to the last Ukrainian.
  9. Al Jazeera seem to be presenting a reasonably balanced take on the situation: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/1/28/russian-fm-says-moscow-does-not-want-war-with-ukraine-liveblog
  10. Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz. This is my machine: https://www.eteknix.com/novatech-reign-paladin-mkii-gaming-pc-review/ I opted for watercooling both for the main board and the GPU (2080ti Extreme).
  11. I have an I9-9990.....Apparently that's not supported either.
  12. I'd guess it's down to aircraft being a feature of WWII scenarios less often.....It's certainly been happening for a while.
  13. I suspect JK meant the Mi-24 shared its origin with the Mi-8/17, which it does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-24 The Mi-28 is a wholly different beast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-28
  14. Zelenskyy seems to have finally woken up to what's going on around him: https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-tries-ease-fears-russian-invasion-130000-troops-amass-border-1673993 I hope he can regain control of the situation in his country and enter into meaningful dialogue with Russia.
  15. I'd actually forgotten about that particular travesty (there are just so many to choose from in that film). Apples & Pears. I don't think I've ever heard a genuine cockney use rhyming slang (other than phrases so commonly used that they've become part of the general lexicon).
  16. He does look a lot better since he stopped dieting.....Looked positively gaunt back then! PS - @Warts 'n' all tease each other a bit, his avatar is Cromwell and I'm from Worcester.....Back in the English Civil War, Worcester was a Royalist redoubt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Worcester When Cromwell's goons finally got into Worcester they properly vandalised the place. Some of the vandalism has been left 'as was' and is now a prominent feature in the dining hall of a rather posh local school:
  17. Units can't be directly transferred from game to game (although their models & textures probably can) Not doable.....The game calendar is stricly limited. However don't let this stop you, most players will happily ignore the game calendar if the scenario (& its briefing) is convincing enough. You could import snowy ground textures and I believe the temperature can be set to freezing, but the weather options like the calendar are stricly restricted (this is why the 'H&E Mod' doesn't have rain).....I don't recall snow being an option in CM:BS (but it might just become available in a future module).
  18. We were referring to the metal all coming from the same place, not the thickness of the armour.
