    For me, unacceptable is dependent upon how many pixelletters I feel like writing to all the pixelwives, pixelparents, or pixelsweethearts of the fallen.

    You do realize how many vehicles (and variants) that aren't in RT but are in the other games, right?  You want them to work on those, or keep  working on the modules and CMx3? Personally, I prefer the latter. YMMV.

    I use covered arcs sparingly, and Hunt not much.  Mainly use CA on HQs, FOs and schreck troops so they don’t go popping off at every little distraction.

    Nah I'm good. I'll go right ahead and call a spade a spade, and mental damage mental damage. And I certainly wont be following orders from some rando on the forums. I don't fear the outrage mob, nor will I compromise for it or appease it.

    So Steam isn't the easy to use no drama experience that everybody who campaigned long and hard for it said it was after all 😉 ...
    This is called observational humour by the way, so no need to kick off.

    Don't know the occasion, but these are my thoughts exactly, having been an Anglophile for about 60 years!  Same thoughts I have about our folks, too, btw!
    Worth sharing, IMHO.

    Haha pretty interesting take on a non offensive speech. Lol. I am curious though why the hostility?
     
    I for one am a veteran, but am not one for mushy speeches but to get bent out of shape about it (unless you are standing in formation while someone drones on about blah blah blah) I just don’t get. I personally feel that the US and the U.K. are the closest of allies and very similar culturally. I know lots of Brits and it’s never awkward talking to them due to cultural reasons. Only their goofy accents lol. 
     
    Kidding, I’m just having a laugh (see that was for my British friends). I think everyone loves the British accent that’s why Brits narrate every documentary on earth.

    True story. My older brother was in 1st Cav, a 60mm machine gunner in the Central Highlands, ‘66-‘67. We’ve discussed his experiences hundreds of times, but it was only a year or two ago that I thought to ask him if he had ever been in/under an arty barrage (I already knew they’d been under light mortar stonks on a few occasions).  His response was that only once, sort of, when his squad (he thought 8 guys, because he recalled that they had Just received some replacements in his platoon recently, and his squad was “fat”) was taking a breather under the only tree on a hill, watching a 155mm barrage landing in the valley below. Suddenly there was a very loud CRACK, like if lightning struck across the street. They were all stunned...and realized that a round came in low and hit the tree top 20 feet above them. They had all been basically laying down, some sleeping, in a more or less fan shape around the tree. No one had a scratch on them, but his best buddy had been using his helmet as a pillow and it was pinned to the ground by a 2 foot long by several inches wide shell splinter. Missed his head by a couple of inches!
    Posted in case you ever need a justification as to why a round didn’t do what it should have. But can only use it once, lol!

    I do not think CM is perfect. I spent a long time pointing out the bad infantry behavior introduced with game engine 4. I even made a YouTube video about it. I then spent a few months testing new versions of the TacAI to iron out the issues. 
     
    This whole devotion to find everything little thing wrong with CM contrarianism is obnoxious to the extreme and is not productive. It doesn’t help at all. If you think that there is an issue, prove it through tests. If other people do not think you are convincing, that is your fault, not theirs. 
     
    And I literally just posted a save file of a replay showing that air burst artillery is effective. And I said I would look into the lorries being overly resilient, which may actually be a problem. 
     
    I honestly do not get this contrarian bs. Get a better hobby.
