2022, the Year In Preview!
Sgt.Squarehead replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
The T-90M 'Proryv' entering service now: Is a somewhat different creature to the games putative 'T-90AM' which is probably closer to the T-90MS: That said, the differences ain't exactly huge! -
I use 'Save Intervals', usually various multiples of 5 minutes, depending on scenario duration & intensity.....I don't reload, but I often 'stop to think for a while' (days, weeks or even months). FWIW

So.....We'll call that an Afghanistan Module for CM:CW confirmed then. Certainly no more so than the T-90AM & BM Oplot. -
Let's ping @BFCElvis just to be sure.

Nope. They bought T-80UDs instead.....Then topped off with Al Khalids (in much the same way that Thailand switched to buying Chinese tanks after the Oplot fiasco).

Some tank duel tests (CMBN)

I'd imagine the quality of the infantry would be a factor and presumably if they share the same parent formation with the vehicles information should flow a bit faster? -

Please, please look at the Red C2 and give the Uncons some more Specialist Teams (esp. Breach Teams) & Individual Vehicles.....Giving the US access to Predator Drones would really be cool too (the timing is so close and it's a fictional war after all). There's still a huge amount of life in CM:SF2. -

Bonez.....Or we eetzim! Alas all my searches for 'Hyena Eats Hitler Youth Volunteer' were fruitless.

Sorry, I completely forgot! Quick scan of Spielberger has the frontal armour as 80mm for the Ausf H (the earlier 50mm armour plate and 30mm Zusatzpanzer add on kit were replaced with a single 80mm plate), can't immediately see any numbers for the turret. PS - I've scanned through a couple now and a definitive figure for the turret front still eludes me.....It was increased to 50mm with the Ausf F, but I can't immediately find any figures beyond that. PPS - Interesting comment in the Osprey book: "In one way the longer 75mm guns were a very mixed blessing. In spite of the designers' efforts to conserve weight, the new weapons made the vehicle nose-heavy to such an extent that the forward suspension springs were under constant compression, with the result that the tank tended to sway about even when no steering was applied. The effect of this was compounded when the Ausfuhrung H was introduced in March 1943, as this model not only had 80mm armour on the bow, front plate & mantlet, but also had 5mm side-skirts and a turret girdle as defence against hollow charge ammunition."

[tuffhaus] project. Building mdr swap experiment
Sgt.Squarehead replied to kohlenklau's topic in CM2 Scenario and Mod Tips
Not a scenario, just another experiment.....Will have a look to see if I still have it, but frankly I doubt it.
