Fizou reacted to laurent 22 in German snow armored vehicles September 29, 2023

My snowy allied armor for FI completed (if you notice a missing armor don't hesitate to tell me) posted on CMMOD IV, now German armor: The Pz3 M - N and the Wespe seem to have no snow textures in FI, RT and FB. Here in 2 versions (snowy or white) for FI and probably compatible with FB and RT

Fizou reacted to Centurian52 in Annual look at the year to come - 2023 September 29, 2023

I'll take your word for it that you're not pro-Russian. But you are clearly getting your information from Russian propaganda. It has been obvious since last April that Russia is going to lose this war. That comes with the caveat that victory conditions are asymmetric. Russian defeat does not automatically mean Ukrainian victory. Russia has already lost this war, and there is absolutely nothing that can change that now. Ukrainian victory has not yet been assured, though it is very likely. In fact the only way that Ukraine could lose at this point is if western support evaporates. So long as western support remains strong, Ukraine cannot lose.
Yes, Ukraine is still struggling with corruption. They are not more corrupt than Russia (they aren't even as corrupt as Russia (even in 2014 Ukraine was still only the 2nd most corrupt country in Europe after Russia)). They are struggling with the same corruption that all former-Soviet/Warsaw Pact and Russia-aligned states struggle with. Notably, all former Soviet/Warsaw Pact states which realigned away from Russia have drastically reduced corruption and increased economic prosperity compared to when they were aligned with/part of the Soviet Union/Russia. We are seeing signs of the same trends in Ukraine. A single decade is far too little time to eliminate all of the corruption that comes with formerly being aligned with Russia, but they are making impressive progress.
There is zero chance of this becoming WW3. Even if war broke out between Russia and NATO (which is basically impossible, considering that Russia has no available forces to attack NATO with (they are all in Ukraine), and in order for NATO to attack Russia all members would need to unanimously agree on something), Russia just isn't a world war-class threat (modern day Russia is not the Soviet Union, and it is not modern day China). It would be a big war, but not a world war (by any reasonable standard).
Stopping the war would overwhelmingly benefit Russia and hurt Ukraine. It would give Russia a chance to rebuild their forces, absorb lessons, and retrain under peacetime conditions. It would undo so much of the progress that has been made towards defeating them. And remember that Russians do not keep to their agreements. Any agreement that is made with Russia will be broken by Russia. Peace now along the current borders will result in Russia invading again in a few years. They will have a better starting position, they will have produced more modern equipment, and they will not underestimate the Ukrainians next time. If we stop the war now then far more people will be killed in the inevitable next war than if we see the current war through. Seeing the current war through will make it possible to more completely defeat the Russian army, allow the Ukrainian army to reestablish itself along more defensible borders, and make it easier to accept Ukraine as a full NATO member, all of which will drastically reduce the threat of future Russian invasions.
Another reason not to stop the war right now is the importance of deterring future wars started by other would-be invaders. Allowing Russia to keep any part of Ukrainian territory sends the message that land grabs work. Part of the modern rules-based order is that invading your neighbor is no longer a legitimate way of settling territorial disputes (Russia is allowed to claim that Ukraine is a historical part of Russia all they want, but they are not allowed to settle that claim with force). We must send the message that as long as the current world order lasts, land grabs will always fail.

Erm, Russia is No.1 corrupt state in Europe, followed by Ukraine. While there has been strong civil anticoruption movement in Ulraine, the corruption in Russia is strong as ever. You might want to check data facts before undergoing Russian propaganda lines.

Edit: I am all in for more tank and other vehicle variety in CMBS, I just made a snark remark.

Fizou reacted to A Canadian Cat in Annual look at the year to come - 2023 September 29, 2023

Sounds like you have that backwards my friend. Tanks have not had as much effect on the battlefield as many expected mostly due to the simple and plentiful man portable AT systems. That has effected both sides - this is why we didn't see tanks roll into Kyiv and why we don't see tanks rolling over the RA defensive lines now. The tanks being blasted from C4ISR is a contributing reason but not the major factor. On that front it's the AFU that has the upper hand. They have excellent C4ISR and precision munitions are are very capable of using it. The RA has much weaker ISR and much less capable precision munitions.
The balance of C4ISR and raining precision strikes on the enemy is heavily, heavily in the AFU's favour.
Ukraine is far from doomed.

Why? They are all crap and burn the same.

Man,I want more tanks for CMBS,T80A,T80BV,T80BVM,T72B,T72B3M,T72B3UBH!!!🤩

Fizou reacted to MeatEtr in The first Red Thunder Tournament has been announced September 29, 2023

Quick reminder to my fellow CMRT players, you can’t save a game and return to it later. So for the German defender with lots of fortifications and freedom to make their own defense setup. This can take awhile. So if you need a break, dinners ready, baby’s crying, etc, either leave the game running or alt-tab to minimize the game.
Also completely ignore any tourney files that show up in your saved games & PBEM list. These will not get sent to your opponent. Only play the ones under PBEM ++ in Progress list.

In a week shy of 2 months, I and about 3 other guys have created a France 1940 mod of damn decent results.
Call me an a-hole, but I think a few heads should hang in shame!
Get it here

Fizou reacted to bigbluss in This is the game I've wanted for years, and I had no idea it existed. July 5, 2023

Hi all,
Just wanted to say hello and I hope I get to play some PBEM against some of you when I get better.
I'm a huge history fan, and also a fan of Graviteam Tactics: Mius Front, but it never quite did what I wanted. Games like Gates of Hell: Ostfront, looked gorgeous but were tactically shallow experiences that in no way represented the battles I've read about in books. The closest I could get was warg ames like War in the East 2, which still were fairly abstract.
I found out about these games a few weeks ago and...Well, with the Steam sale I've purchased CM:BS, CM:SF2 and CM:BN, plus all the respective DLCs. I've been wanting games like these for years. Can't wait to start building the hours. I've clocked up 30 hours in two weeks which, for me as a 37 year old with a job and girlfriend, is fairly extreme.

Cannot believe I didn't try them sooner.

Nice to meet you all

Fizou reacted to Sublime in Just an Idle thought about perhaps 'revamping' some CM:BS elements July 4, 2023

Ok. First I wanna make my points. yes I know its a fictional war, but a lot of this work is already done by CW so to speak
1. I havent seen ANY APS fielded AT ALL, even on oryx theres 'prototype' t80s with APS that basically just decoration because it didnt even have charges
2. The Russians use a lot of T80s. I can provide a interview with a UA tanker last year who says they consider the T80BVM the most formidable opp because its armor and reverse speed
3, UA has too many good tanks. We should be seeing a ****load more T64 BVs, no oplots, and a handful of armatas
4. Including random western kit from SF2, and oher titles would be amazing
5. The RU army ... its ok we all fell for it. They dont have T90s like that ,the rarity should AT THE LEAST go up A TON. But also like they should have more older kit, the B3s, all that stuff should be more expensive, and less common.. Yes itd be a n 00B nightmare bu just sayin, Im surpsied noone saw this coming as far as tanks given the Russians were saying in 2014 thered be 3k armaatas by 2020, or that their aps can kill an APFSDS from a 120mm. Their S400 cant even hit a HIMARS rocket from the 90s lol
6. Suicide drones. They scare the **** out of me and would love tosee them in
7. more drones, give UA drones that can drop a grenade or make a grenade equivalent boom
yeah Im sure this is NOT a priority, its a fictional war and Im sure theres more pressure to expand the current force pool
But its the only thing thatd really rekindle my love that game. Im just.. burnt out.

Fizou reacted to SDG in I wish the AI would pick up SMGs : / June 28, 2023

As the title says.
SMGs are an extremely important part of a squad's firepower (even for non-SMG centric squads), therefore if the person with the weapon gets nailed, I would very much prefer if his comrades would trade their crappy bolt action rifles for the SMG that was dropped.
But they seem to be ignoring it.
The only thing the AI is willing to pick up is machine guns.

Fizou got a reaction from Lethaface in Join the Shock Force 2 Tournament now! June 21, 2023

Disregard this. After this I got a new turn, the game was back in the "pbem++ in progress". After the turn i got the end screen. Great!
