Stagler

Unlikely, the Russians had been tinkering with unmanned turrets a while before. http://www.armyrecognition.com/images/stories/east_europe/russia/main_battle_tank/object_195/Object_195_main_battle_tank_Russia_Russian_defence_industry_military_technology_640_001.jpg

I think hes on about Afghan and Iraq, these are the main ones that old Uncle P likes to bring up when he needs to rustle up some justification.

Sometimes your router's built in fire wall classifies CM games as invasive software, you might have to alter the router settings.However sometimes it just simply cannot be done.

I do believe that's still happening As far as tech int is concerned, its not all "bunk". You would be a fool to think so. Weapon technical superiority still lies in the hands of the west, but belief that it its all "bunk" means people get their arses smacked and then cry when their have overstepped or overextended. Don't forget, this isn't some tin pot Iraq or Iran we are talking about here, where combined arms and mutual support was often literally just a pipedream. There is a reason why we didn't go and **** about over Damascus a couple of years ago.

The most dangerous part of the Type-99 is the cupola mounted laser dazzle weapon. God forbid that ever gets fired at dismounts in anger, they can look forward to a life of blindness. Pun intended. And also, don't turn this into a faeces slinging contest.

Damn, out trolled big time

Don't forget you can make quick battles of any size. Most multiplayer matches are these anyway.

Think its only singular warhead though isn't it.

Download Link v1.1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/zhc9yh976ijl51v/SG_QB_Maps_v1.1.rar?dl=0 Fixed AI plan missing. Seems the "copy AI plan" tool doesn't work between maps, only on the same map. Fixed conditions that were set on "freezing" to "cool".

Here's my shout. VDV/Marines. Prospective Euroforce/Rebels when things have hopefully died down. Crazy vehicle pack with final finishing patches for that game - EFV, T14, etc

There are different types of M136, we used the AST variant in Afghan a few times. Only A1 is in game though.

Anyone want to rumble on that new QB map I made? I'm easy on what settings, but I would rather play Russia or Ukraine. Cheers.

Several IS BMP-1 have been lost in Syria because they just throw the ERA on there without a thought that the detonation would blow the vehicle up.

Crew seating is in the hull. Design was so that mission kill of turret will not result in the fiery death of comrade tankist, like has been the case for the last twenty years. The actual turret superstructure can probably have another outer array thrown onto it. As of now the plates don't have mounting spigots for any ERA, it doesn't look like there is any composite material or ERA under the plates either. Modularity of ERA has always been a key design feature for Russian armourers, K1,K5, Relikt can all be thrown on the same platform. My guess is that it will have mountings under the housings we see on it today for some kind of ERA arrays that can go over the top in place of the plating. Kind of like was planned for Obj640. See how the actual turret superstructure is only a small portion of the actual turret profile with the mantlet being relatively close to the top of the ERA arrays and outside of the superstructure, and that the ERA arrays was bolted onto the top of this unmanned superstructure itself. http://fofanov.armor.kiev.ua/Tanks/MBT/640_armor.html As this was Kaktus, and development has been discontinued, I think we will see the same in due course but another type of heavy ERA. Possibly the same type as some of the probable ERA plates protecting the ammunition storage area on the side of the vehicle hull. Also, longest thread on BF Forums?

I noticed that an infantry team can now remove the 2A28 73mm gun from the BRM-1K. And that BMP-2M has BMP-2 model LOD at a close distance. Don't know if these have already been reported though.

The delay between the precursor projectile and the round is meant to mitigate this.

Uh, yes, I did say there would be a similarity to the rosinform concept a long time ago, and about the "shell" surrounding the super structure. The plate shell is there to house the optics to mount on armour plates or mount composite on, like the turn table on the Black Eagle which was only a small portion of the actual turret mass. The rounds will either detonate against it or zip through or whatever, it doesn't matter, but what does matter is that the entire thing wont detonate from a hit to the turret and kill the crew and there is a far smaller chance to cause catastrophic vehicle loss - that's the point I made previously, its a survivability increase measure. Ha, you must really be pulling the dictionary out with the insults matey, just call a spade and spade and crack on yeah? Skeptics are gonner skeptic but you my friend are truly priceless.

When I'm not being a nuisance on here or stacking mad loot from modding competitions, I'm making stuff. I have been working on reworking some of the Red Thunder Master Maps into very large QB maps for CMBS. v1.0 of this pack has three maps, an attack, assault, and meet on Radzymin Master Map 2. Each has an AI plan for both sides and functioning objectives, but would probably be better for versus play. I will do more plans for each map, and eventually convert all Radzymin Master Maps to CMBS. Credits to the Master Map goes to BF Company. I cant post screens because Im on my laptop and they look gash, but Ill try to at the weekend when I am back with my high spec machine.

Told you The turret superstructure likely looks like this inside the plate housings and inert space.

The lack of visible coax might mean the trunnion on the turret side will allow fitting for 30mm cannon. It seems they have taken the same CITV and co-located AAMG from the T-90MS. Looks good. Also, ERA on roof and also movable block-type APS dispensers. Looks like allowance for top attack has been made for a change. In our private conversation, Damian pointed out there might be possible ERA on lower glacis plate underside also, another step-change. http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/andrei_bt/18425682/382375/382375_original.jpg You notice from the sides, where the plates have been attached to the upper turret above the Drozd-type APS dispensers, the actual turret superstructure is a lot smaller than the plates indicate - again, as I said a few weeks ago to Panzer, a lot of inert space. http://s1083.photobucket.com/user/venatta/media/9AvIO_zpsxo8yl9ev.jpg.html

Finally, harsh winds or blowing leaves are no longer a threat to comrade tankist.

Don't debates have to have a point though? And there's more than just you in this debate Steve.

Haha, maybe matey. But there ain't no telling some people sometimes!

This is boiling down to, "your not going to do this! You cant do this because of x y z" - "oh yes we are" - "oh no your not". Its like a panto. Nobody wants to listen to the other sides point anyway and nobody is going to change their mind. My point is that we are all battling over speculation at the end of the day. Cmbs first expansion wont have this stuff in anyway, and I cant see that being until at least Christmas release at least. Lets pick this topic up at Christmas time when time has passed. Simples.

The height of the horses in this thread is too damn high, time some necks were wound in to be honest.
