OH?

Oops. Seems one broke down. https://twitter.com/MarkUrban01/status/596231779784208384 The first reply made me laugh. It's not going to be another Chieftain is it?

Yes I may have been a bit defensive, my apologies. However after fighting one war for thirteen years and another (kind of) for six years I think Britain is entitled to regroup. The US may not have to do this due to its size, but I don't know any other nation (again except the US) that contributed as much in men and materiel to Afghanistan and Iraq as Britain did. What many who are interested in UK defence issues will tell you is that the British Army has been the target of much of the defence budget over the past thirteen years, but looking forward it is likely to be cut in favour of increased naval and air assets to combat emerging threats. And that is a move I completely agree with. BTW BF if you do plan on adding the British Military please don't include this horrible mandible

Is this the Fox News thread?. For your information immigration is a hot topic in Britain now; as well as defence spending, which some political parties are receiving popular backing because of their stances on both. I however won't get drawn into a debate on the ethnic make-up of the UK. Here's a thought on why the UK is drifting away from the US, look at your anti-British president and his attitude towards the UK as a whole. Try looking at the UK spilling blood in Iraq and Afghanistan only for it to not matter one bit. Maybe the British government and public are tired of following the US line when Obama can't even be bothered to pretend to be neutral on British sovereign territory disputes (or the 'Islas Malvinas' as he called them). The French are interested in Africa because a large area of it is their old stomping ground, not the UK's, and thus they have a vested interest in protecting countries loyal to France. This coincidentally aligns with US thinking in the region. When they start deploying ground troops to Ukraine, the Baltics, and Iraq then let me know. One thing for you to all bear in mind as well is the French started the process of deep cuts to its military last year, something Britain started five years ago. So by 2020 they certainly won't be in the same state as they are today and perhaps their global influence will diminish as well.

I'd like to see that amphibious invasion.

Thanks for all the work Kieme. An absolutely superb set of skins!

Personally I'd prefer to see a British module over a German or French one. Looking at the current situation (and I realise the story isn't linked to reality) the French and Germans try diplomacy while the rest of NATO is sending troops forward for training exercises and into Ukraine itself. This to me shows a willingness to deploy before a conflict fully starts. Or make a 'European Big Three' pack with all three nations priced the same as a full game. Of course before this I'd rather see the Polish military added. Edit: Sequoia the Polish Land Forces seem to have a lot of indigenous equipment mixed with small amounts of Soviet equipment and newer NATO equipment (such as the Leo 2 with unique upgrades). It's Wiki I know but.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equipment_of_the_Polish_Land_Forces

Well this might not end well. Cameron mentioned something earlier about 'upping the ante'. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/pm-announces-package-of-non-lethal-support-to-ukraine I believe a total of 700 troops from the UK & US are going to train the Ukrainians.

How did it work in CMSF then? I'm sure I used sound mods to change the engine noises of almost every vehicle, including all the add-on packs.

I'm getting the same issue as Harry with the overcast, horizons, and foliage mods. However I'm also having the same issue when I try the HD textures mod (which worked last night). Might be a website issue.

Seems pretty good where I am (UK). Getting 2 MB/s and has taken 50 mins to download. Now to enjoy the game

I know in CMSF infantry would be wounded or killed by smoke shells exploding near them, however this may be to simulate shrapnel or concussion from the shell breaking apart.

There's a bit more in this BBC documentary. It's worth watching the whole thing tbh. It covers from the point of injury, evacuation, emergency treatment, and recovery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8rKzUk1wPg#t=21m5s

Top tip. Add a non-Steam game to library. Ta-da! Launches right from Steam and the overlay is available in game.

Some nice tags this topic has. I often search for elite tier one operator info.
