I just do not see how a no-fly zone could possibly help.
If your concern is the flow of oil, what happens if you impose a no-fly zone and even then the rebels do not win ? I cannot imagine Libya will be very happy with you.
Even if the rebels did win there would be a huge down time before any oil flows again.
I do not think any nation or organisation is justified in intervening in the internal politics of a sovereign nation.
Can you imagine if Ghaddafi sent fighter jets to impose a no-fly zone over Madrid because of a Muslim uprising in Spain ? If that is so unthinkable why is the opposite not the case?
jaja, he can try, the difference is (regardless of the reason) we (NATO, West etc) have the means, he doesnt.
im not arguing about the reasons, im arguing about the actions. The inability (again) to create a quick decision and moblize rapidly. Being in Europe we see again of the inability of the EU to react as a unified force (the thing its supposed to be, thats why ive never been fond of the EU)
oil wise, Spain gets about 13 percent of its oil (or used to) from Lybia, Italy for example is in a problem since most of its oil comes from there, dont know what they are doing at the moment. We dont have a problem of supply, its the prices for us that keep rising as the crisis evolves. We could do without the hastle.

Anyway, g8 just voted a nono on the matter.
-
What obligation does NATO or anyone else for that matter have to Libya ?
Sure it is not a good thing that is going on but for outside forces to intervene is a pretty big step.
Well you dont have a war on your doorstep and are not getting your oil cut off...we have and our pockets are feeling it.
In Mediterranean countries + Britain have wanted to install a no fly zone over lybia to stop Gadafis Air Force bombing rebel positions. This was said days and days ago. They cant reach consensus and they keep saying they want permision from this, from that because of this and that. Not the flexible response I would hope for. Its probably too late by now
-
Well, as always the hunt for a UN resolution and aproval of everyone they can think of has left NATO as inoperative as carridge without its horse...
They all like to talk about Nato Reaction Forces and Euro Corps, but in the end...
-
It funny now, after playing so much CMSF, cant avoid remembering it while watching BMPs rolling around lybia on TV.
-
Oh world... God have mercy on thy uneducated masses!

As a general point I like to give my infantry squads at least one of the Javelins and a couple of LAWS before they dismount from the vehicle particularly if I know I am going to be facing enemy armour. These weapons can also be of some use against infantry in buildings or bunkers. I heard a news report the other day about a Libyan government soldier who ended up in hospital with an anti tank missile in his leg so they can do some damage in the real world at least.

Ouch...definatelly gona leave a mark.
-
Hope not...
Ill still play it, specially since I havnt finished, let alone started the NATO campaigns...
-
But how would one simulate a SOP force escorting a diplomat and getting captured per real life?
Maybe a 3:10 to Yuma style scenario? although that would be just copying
-
Plus, the capture of 3 dutch soldiers the other day...
someone really messed up with that one
-
Yeah when I was playing a red v red mission I had a cassualty which seemed to be from an RPG, te guy was standing behind him.
PS: what is the chance that that backblast killed or injured him?
-
Please who can i find and download the TF Thunder campaign?
Thanks in advance
marioa
it comes with the game
-
+1
.......
is 100% of development on Normandy atm?
if so not really fair on us CMSF NATO guys
-
yeah I noticed this aswell... I still ran with it
-
Currently the most effective way to inflict casualties on enemy troops inside buildings is not to target the roof but target the ground at the base of the building. The lateral blast effect through the walls seems to be a lot more deadly than trying to punch through the roof. Of course this isn't as useful if they're on the third or more floor.
THIS
ive been targeting buildings like this for a while and is definatelly better
-
Spain also has interests in Libya...we get atleast 13% of our oil from there.
although I would be suprised if anything is mobilized, as always anything military is just wrong!
-
I've also noticed that when you delete sections of map with lots of doodads on it, the file size doesn't seem to shrink noticeably. Seems like the map "remembers" sections that once existed even if there's no method to get them back once deleted.
So when I make smaller "carve out" submaps based on Ramadi, I go through and delete everything on the deleted sections first prior to removing the squares themselves.
hm interesting, I do have sections of the map that have things on them that are cut off
ill try deleting them see if it changed anything!thanks for the idea and the help guys!
-
Well since the year or month doesnt really affect anything in the game I dont think its that important.
as for weather effect, Battlefront have already said that more "temperate" weather is out of the question for CMSF, since its based in the middle east and nothing liek this will be added
(Atleast not until CMSF II!) -
hmmm fair enough, seems im going to have to work it out and create another map
the thing is George MC that the map is supposed to clear open south wise so going up doesnt really work
anyway thanks for the information guys!

Dynamic Protection, on the west called Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA).
4S24 looks like this:
You can learn more about it here:
http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=90432&page=24
Well, it seems that I need to do some good screenshots from my game, maybe tomorrow. ;-)
BTW, before someone ask, yes, 4S24 is capabale to stop tandem HEAT warheads (at least some of them), and yes, it is light enough so BMP-3 or BMP-2 can swim with it.
oh ok, ERA
never heard that term for it before.
Thanks alot sir!
-
Yeah, well without 4S24 it is very vurnabale vehicle. Also very thight and uncomfortabale inside.
Whats a 4S24?
-
I always though the BMP 3 had a great look...
as always seems looks isnt everything
the result of an M32 40mm grenade from about 100 metres :
-
hmmm seems im going to have to scrap the base map for this one
the strange thing is it changes sometimes its 100 metres sometimes 500, dont know.
anyway I shall experiment a bit more
Battle for Libya!

European goverments have become quite good at disguising invasions as "peacekeeping", a term now over used and undermined. For example in the 8 or so years Spain has been in Afghanistan and in the year we were in Irak, the word "War" or "offensive" was basically banned in the MoD. even though our Legionnaires, Paratroopers and Soldier are in combat every day. The only country willing to say the word War is Britian (Respect)
The question should we Intervene? doesnt matter, its too late now anyway. Probably was never going to happen since the rebels stood at a very small chance of victory since the first day. For the best probably that it didnt happen, although we are still left with the decision hanging and again no consensus.
