Desertor

This technology is viable, but it's still decades away. Like most other plans for "Green Energy",  R&D is expensive, the market is not there to support it, and fossil fuels are becoming cheaper and cleaner.
 
Don't know if that observation is trenchant enough for this thread, but it seems to follow the new direction.

Desertor I wish I could have my T90s do that - they'd be javelin proof. However seeing as how the Abrams is a rolling death machine in almost all of my battles I feel bad for you, that tank is basically useless. Mission kill by housing.

Zoiks...I just checked this thread out.  You ever start reading a book and flip the cover over to make sure its the book you thought it was...this thread.

In Los Angeles I would kill to be able to park in a building.

Ahh lmao

I can think of a situation, common in all the CM titles, where providing the AI with area firing capability improves realism. There are scenarios in which the battlefield is dominated by a tall building or a church steeple or windmill. The first thing a human player does is send an FO team scrambling up to the top floor. Where it remains, enjoying total immunity from speculative fire from the enemy. Against another human opponent? Fughedabouit

If the RPO's effectiveness indoors is increased, then so too does the M25.  The weapon can easily and consistently be set up to detonate inside an open window (presumably one someone is shooting out of).  Body armor or not, I'm going to bet that a 25mm grenade going off in your face is going to lay you down.

Halp! I'm a victim of quantum tunneling!

The General Discussion forum is down below.

since when have you become a moderator? You behaviour towards JK seems to be verging on stalking IMO. Does you no credit.
A football phrase comes to mind "play the ball not the man"

Given the Battlefront crystal ball, if they announce a USMC vs Chinese in Taiwan, I'll expect the flashpoint IRL a few months later

Seoul, by all accounts, is a throbbingly vital, 1st world city possessing every amenity conceivable. As  a DRPK apparatchik I'd think twice before letting my troops get a glimpse of the place.

I, for one, welcome our new mafia overlords.

Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here

Wicky,
 
Interesting, if they cut back, wonder if they are going to put the resources into  AVF robotic support type tanks and supplies instead.  
As far as Crimea goes, I am baffled as to why everyone in Europe seems to be on Flouride or some sort of relaxant or they are being extorted, bribed, threatened into submission.  They had to know that Russia would want all of that land they lost, back.  So, why did they not see this ahead of time?  They need to realize  all the Mafias are ridding us off and are not to be trusted.  They are going to take Kiev next, I feel.  Why, because that is where I saw the Mafia at the CERN laboratory, I do have that picture if anyone is interested.  They intend to have control of this.  It is more that just a piece of technology.  It is their ticket to ride out of here or bring in reinforcements.  They think, if, they move a CERN laboratory closer to Putin, they will have mafia protection.  The last CERN failed (Swiss Zionist Mafia).  This new CERN is very expensive and many governments are being bullied,  to pay for it.   Russian planes have been flying over England recently, bulling them.  Russian has spies in MI-6,  London, forgot one of their names, go to Abel Danger.  This Russian mafia and other mafias in U.S., Australia, and more are blackmailing European (Recently Angela Merkel's, Germans, Poland, and other  world leaders by crashing their airplanes, school children even, using the Boeing uninterrupted Auto-Pilot +  Air Tranquilizer  (ATI)  to tranquilize pilots, crew, and passengers to terrorize countries into pouring money into the CERN Laboratory in Ukraine and other land grabs.   A list of flights where they used the BUAP + ATI  to force planes down for revenge to governments who failed to comply.  Adam Air 574, Kenya Airway 507, Speedbird 38, Turkish 1951, Colgan 3407, Air France 447, Air Afrikiyah 771, Sukhoi Superjet, MH370, MH17, QZ8501, and now the one downed in French Alps.  There is a reason why the co-pilot had steady breathing, he was out cold.  They own the mainstream news, so you will be reading from their mafia owned script writers.
 
So, if we want to make life easier, now, and later, we need to take Putin seriously, one tank in Mariupol is not enough to  stop their advancing toward Kiev.  Check my sources, meanwhile,  ensure pilots have warning systems in the cockpit when the air is foul, extra oxygen to prevent the plane from being droned.  For more on this see Abeldanger.net, on Livestream as Abel danger.   Around 1995, one of the airlines in Europe filed a suit for 800 million because their 747's airplane technologists for Lafthunsa, Germanwings is an affiliate, (recent France crash ,pay back) for filing this suit where technicians, found extra stuff in a electric equipment  compartment (E&E).   They filed, to get Boeing to pay for having to remove the components on all of the jets they purchased from Boeing.  To protect Boeing and us, these need to be removed immediately.  New York Bronx, Base 1 Technologies Clinton aides activated the patented devices BUAP + ATI to kill revenge Yvonne Selke, a Pentagon spy in the satellite mapping branch of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.  This is how they  revenge after being fired from key positions or to kill a whistleblower or to kill  Yvonne Salik.  We provided Ukraine with satellite imagery because Putin had control of Ukraines therefore always had the upper hand.  The mafia is trying to intimidate the Pentagon so we will stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
 
Let us put an end to mafia controlled banking, markets, and manufacturers exploiting humanity.  If they can blackmail our Pentagon, world governments, we have no representation.  Find out more, we have to wake up,  Airbus, FAA, JAA all know about this, so why aren't they doing anything about it, they are complicit.  Soon,  people who don't know about it,  will.   Covering up by killing off any whistleblowers exposing this, is a very dark world.  Not the world I want to hand over to my children.

I gotta say, the old Kettler is much better than the new false Kettler.  

Interesting (and i would say relevant) thanks JK

Whhaatt!?  A .50 can blow up a thank!  Why am I wasting all this time and effort with javelins, planes, and tanks!  What happens if I fart in their general direction?

Never mind, not worth it.

Life is harsh, specially if you're old, alone and feeling rejected by the very people you like to talk with...

I think this might not be an unfair assessment.  Or at the least, failing that this is something that brings a strange, but generally inoffensive dude some sort of happiness.
 
This thread wouldn't be the worst thing to happen.  It'd be sort of like Coast to Coast, in that yeah it's sort of a marginal place of sometimes dubious statements, but you have to tune in to encounter it, and it keeps the rest of the airwaves a bit more grounded.  
 
Addendum:
 
However a Kettler coast to coast thread would be better off in general discussion.  

+1. Lame.
 
He's got a reputation score of 49, of which 9 are from him voting up his own posts.

The reason for this thread is that John's good intentions, prolific reading and general enthusiasm for BFC games has drawn criticism from other forum members who don't share John's degree of wonderment with the world at large.
 
My opinion is that John should just say something like "Suck it up, princess" in response to the other posters' criticisms, but the apparent level of catharsis it brings him from 'brain dumping' in this forum keeps him wary of being banned or something, and thus on his back foot, and leads him to put too great of a weighting to others' negative opinions.
 
In summary, keep posting, John! Either in this thread or in the forum at large. Whatever works.

On reflection i apologize for derailing the thread and.to police officer here. My life is.my.life. but.i was rude and i apologize

Everyone,
 
The purpose of this thread is to provide a central location into which I can put information and the like which I deem significant and worth knowing about, as well as my own observations and opinions, subject to the usual BFC rules, as well as certain request and strictures coming from BFC. In this way, there should be no further thread proliferation and "real post" ranking issues. Other members are, of course, welcome to participate in what I post, but I ask that you be respectful. Argue against the ideas I present; don't attack me. As some may have noted, I have formal requests in to the Mods to kill two separate threads. If they choose to do so, that should further alleviate matters on the CMBS Forum as a whole.
 
Regards,
 
John Kettler
