I guess for 1981, there can be only one:

Let's do (some of the better UK #1 songs from) 1982:

I'm a long way (by British standards, a tiny distance by Russian standards) from London these days, but let me know if you are coming and I'll show you round all the museums (& the nightclubs if you want).....Alternatively, if you want to see the bit of England that triggered Tolkien to write 'The Hobbit', well that's just over the hill from where I live. We should probably get back to kill ratios.

With Covid as it is, who knows?

The problem with CM:BS may be the omnipresence of thermal imagers.....I'll have a play with US, Russian & Ukrainian Scout Teams on a couple of BIG maps in varying conditions, see how well they can see each other. That would be awesome!

That was fascinating, cheers dude.

Still won't be able to steal that bloody helicopter.....Maybe one day!

Have to agree, doesn't look like a high-velocity weapon.....Not sure what good the discarding sabot would do unless the muzzle velocity could be tripled.

That all sounds a bit coincidental, as though neither FRAPS or PrintScreenSysRq are seeing the graphics created for CM (I reckon FRAPS is probably working OK, just not looking in the right place).....I think pinging @Schrullenhaft might be an idea. You're not running CM in a window are you? I noticed a couple of games (not CM in my case) which while looking like they were running full screen, were actually running in a window about the same size (but if you took the cursor to the edge of the screen you could drag the window inwards shrinking it).

Dude, does FRAPs start up OK out of game? If so maybe check the settings tabs.....Maybe you have a key-binding conflict going on or similar? I'm using Win10 fully updated and like I said, it's working fine. Hope you get sorted.

Google Translate (plus many failed attempts at self-tuition) and a general fondness for the place & people (and especially your tanks).....I'm British BTW. Hoping to make it over to Moscow (with my nephew, who's becoming a junior-Russophile) once Covid ends.....We had planned to come for the GPW 75th, but you know how that all worked out. The reasons I asked about CM:A are: I have a map prepared for just this sort of scenario already made (gazillions of exit zones, so the Mujahideen can bug out once they feel they have done enough damage). Mujahideen vs. Soviets/DRA is very well balanced (unless the Mujahideen try to stand and go toe to toe, in which case they are f**ked, as they should be) and neither side have the sort of 'cyber-spotting' that would mess things up.

In CM:H&E we remodelled the CM:SF2 drones as observation aircraft. I'd guess their primary role (if anything at all) would be as FO/FACs in the CM:CW environment (just a bit too lethal for these guys really), but they could serve as light strike aircraft in more modern titles, using precision munitions.....The OV-10Ds the USMC upgraded were some mean little mothers (IMHO they should have made many, many more): Yup.....That's a turreted 20mm gatling-gun! PS - Probably going to do one of these too, after my Pony.

Apparently they have the same taste in hats too.

Surely you could just put the crew back at mission start and hit ceasefire? Or move the tank to the player's setup zone mount 'em up and lay waste to the opposition with your shiny free Kingtiger? Or am I missing something? PS - FRAPS still works fine for me.....Sent you a link to an older installer, see if it helps.

@mjkerner Working for me dude, just used it.....What happens? I've still got the installer, maybe try mine (it's from a good while back) and then update if neccessary? I'll PM you a link.

As soon as I dismount I form my BMPs into Bronegruppa.....When the first counterattack came in they hit my scouts in the flank, but two survived long enough to warn the infantry just behind them who stopped and hit the attackers in their extreme left. At about the same time all twelve BMPs had come to a halt and purely by chance all of them had line of sight to the general vicinity of the attack.....TBH the TacAI started the shooting and, as the scouts were toast by then, I then I had all of them join in with area target, it truly was a sight to behold! Lost a BMP forcing the road junction up to the sawmills and my own mortars cost me a good few casualties too.....I told them to ceasefire, but in the final turn while rounds were still in the air, they seemed to go a bit mad, dropping rounds all over the place (might have been because I rolled the spotting unit's BMP forward, but AFAIK this shouldn't make a difference after FFE). FWIW

Dude, I can see why that s**t would wig anyone out! I'd call their behaviour paranoid, if weren't for the non-stop: I'll have a thnk about it.....Do you have CM:A?

It degenerated into a bit of a bloodbath for me too, so I was very surprised by this:

Probably agree.....But perhaps not. I suspect I could write something (2p Only) on these lines that could keep both sides interested. The important thing would be to have a map that's big enough and complex enough for the small elite unit to maneuver and then to have his opponent actively searching for him with sufficient firepower to crush him like a bug if they can corner him and concentrate. No worries dude.....We do indeed (But I suspect that's also been the case for every other human being who has ever lived too.....If it isn't the politicians, it's the kings and those sabre toothed tigers were a pain in the **** too!)

That sounds familiar.....TBH I could just get off my lazy ****, go next door and look at a book, but there's too much going on in here! Actually come to think of it I probably have it as a .pdf too.

Nah.....Yours has Invaders too!

Buy CM:SF2? @mjkerner is there any chance you could extract the mission that @landser mentions.....I would very much like to look at it the editor? In several of the games dismounting tanks in the editor only gets you an Ammo Dump and in my experience crews manually removed from their vehicles with Bail-Out will often snap back into them when the game starts. The crews are not listed seperately from vehicles so they can't be set as reinforcements for their vehicles (already placed on the map). So if @landser is correct, I'd really like to know how it was done too.

I still have a copy in the attic (and all the others).

The Galil never entirely replaced anything AFAIK.

And here they are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/601st_Tactical_Control_Wing Damn the internet rocks.....That would have taken weeks when I was a kid!
