Welcome to the more recent battlefield of CMSF2. You will soon be itching for CMBS which is even more deadlier. 1. For close management I use a few more way-points. That usually works to have them follow the path you would like. The downside of this is if enemies are about, your troops linger a little longer as they make their way. 2. I have not noticed this behaviour. 3. Yes the Grenadiers must drink a lot.

Originally I was hoping the thread would remain focused on the state of the German army, and how German society viewed their armed forces, as it did on the first page. Sadly it has gone very much of topic................I suppose I should not be surprised. Too bad. Page 1 was becoming interesting.

Wow, that was interesting. Thanks for posting,

I am reading "The Vanquished" by Robert Gerwarth and Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks.

There is a patch for the Semper Fi Campaign here. https://battlefront.sharefile.com/share/view/s1790d8b51994c72b/fof9f423-8c9f-4494-82e5-704ab8a27de7

I am not pointing at anyone, but let's try to avoid any politics and focus instead on the related social and cultural forces at work. I think most are aware of the Politics at the edges of this issue.

Thanks for all the work done to make sure we have access to Mods.

This article was just published today concerning how Germany feels about Military and Foreign Policy issues. https://warontherocks.com/2019/02/it-is-time-for-germans-to-talk-about-sicherheitspolitik/

This article provides some insight regarding the quote above. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40172317

I don't disagree with the analysis that the German army is failing but rather with some of the political issues hinted at. It would make an interesting discussion but politics is a often a Rabbit Hole easily fallen into and hard to get out of.

Your such a pleasant fellow. Did it occur to you that the Bundeswehr is featured in CMSF2 and that people may have an interest in how it has developed over the years. They may even wish to use CMSF2 to create a current scenario using the Germans, in which case this information would be of interest. "What, should we make an exception for you?" you ask. So you speak for everyone on this forum? As I understand it the Forum is moderated by Battlefront....not Jack Ripper. 236 views shows interest in the article...............and your the only one to complain. Do you think maybe your out of step.......a bit grumpy perhaps?

Really? This is a big deal for you?

This is the General Discussion Forum........................

I have wondered about this as well. It does seem a good fit. I think it probably has to do with the difficulty in putting together the TO&E. As I understand it, the Israeli's modify a lot of their equipment to suit their specific needs. So the coding and making of the models would probably be very time consuming.

This Topic may interest you.

@RockinHarry Thank you for doing this!!

As per the title here is a link. https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-biggest-enemy-threadbare-army-bundeswehr/ I can't say that I agree with all of the Authors observations but it is an interesting read.

All of the above. I have tried BarbaricCo's modded shaders and found they negatively affected anti-aliasing when viewing close up. The stock one was too bland for me. I also tried reshade and I liked the results but for the psychedelic renderings when advancing the turn............it broke the immersion for me. I do have Rambler's Night Vision Mod installed and I find it works well with my nvidia settings.

I found the Movie Mode too bland for my taste. But without it the colours seemed too bright. I used nvidia's digital vibrance ( saturation ) setting and lowered it to 25% which works well for me. It takes the edge off the bright colour without being bland. As an additional benefit the screen seems much easier on my eyes.

How is it organized?

Well you really have done a great job of representing the Afghan terrain as portrayed in that program. I had a look at the CMA mujahideens earlier in the day. As has been mentioned, It is fabricating the hats and half-head scarfs that are the problem.

Yes that is the one. I have watched episodes 1 and 2 and am looking forward to watching 3 and 4 later in the week.

@Zveroboy Thanks for putting this mod together. Before I downloaded the mod package I was watching a youtube video about British Royal Marines in Afghanistan. Your Mod really catches the flavour of the lay of the land and look of the buildings.

Thanks for mentioning this mod. I would not have thought to download it without seeing your post.

In some videos you can see the camera. But it just looks like a go pro. In one video the tech has the camera on a long pole. They seem to record with multiple cameras, sometimes with land or air drones.
