  1. But will it be as successful as the taking of Bakhmut Or, hear me out, it all a lie.
  2. No, I have the context right I just totally disagree with you that this is some kind of disaster. Yes, they were shown to have not quite got it. I still think they did as good a job as could be expected so I have no beef. OK sure. First they have long ago said they have no plans for any updates or modules or new content for CMBS while the war is on going. So, you should not be surprised. Second OK sure whatever. I have no idea if BFC will agree with you about adding more drones in their 2017 simulation there is a high likely hood they will not change course. I just don't know. I hope to see some lethality changes sure but even bugs take a long time to get fixed sometimes. OK but as one of my son's hockey coaches used to say "don't hold your breath - cause you might die"
  3. Ah sweet. Thanks. I tried the procedure to request an unroll on a twitter thread and it never did anything. Searching like this will be helpful.
  4. Ooops looks like this is it. Cool Sigh, seemed good but I cannot get it to work. Ah well.
  5. On a related note, last year I finally gave in and created a Twitter account so I could look at the Igor Girkin account after it received a blanket "over 18" rating. Having an account is the only way to view 18+ posts or accounts. I immediately went into settings and disabled everything and will never, ever use it to post. Yep, same although I think in the early days I did post a little but it really is pointless. @LongLeftFlank can you share this hack to see twitter with no account. I have several friends who are a similar boat.
  6. LOL really, should have been? BFC did a really good job in 2012-2014 in guessing what the battlefield would be like in 2017, including drones. It was based on lessons learned in Afghanistan and other places. What they have makes a lot of sense. I suspect what they got wrong was the ease that drones are downed by some AAA, even then I'm not sure we have clear evidence on that. For sure if they were to create a game in 2023 guessing what the battlefield would be like in 2027 they would have a lot more drones of different sizes and capabilities. I would like to see a TO&E in a module that includes more types and more instances of drones in the org chart. I think that's about all you can expect. Even then we might be disappointed in their interpretation of drones in 2017 since by definition the game is not set in 2022.
  7. You have to be logged into the support portal to see it. @BFCElvis it would probably be a good thing(tm) if the KB articles are viewable without being logged in. Not sure how easy that is...
  8. Ack don't do that. CM runs terribly on Itel's integrated graphics cards. nVidia is the way to go.
  9. I like @Brille's advice. There are times though when just a regular squadie is hit and the squad has a job to do. Then I let them move on an have an HQ unit, sometimes the XO, do the buddy aid.
  10. Nearly everything thing you said is a possibility. I think it will go better for the Ukrainians but we don't know yet. But the above is just wrong. If they did end up in a place where there was a stale mate in the ground and people moved on but the Russians kept targeting civilians the Ukraines would get methods to strike the source. They would happily be given to them or they would get them themselves. The Russian airfields and or launch sites would be targeted and relentlessly so.
  11. Agreed lets not. To be clear the FSB is an organization that actually exists. It has leaders and followers. They have goals. They so stuff. They act together. While the "deep state" does not actually exist. It doesn't matter if some people think it does, it doesn't matter if the authors of the linked article don't understand that. There is no organization that calls itself the deep state, there is no leadership, there is no goal, it's a fake thing that people who are upset about not getting their way invoke to justify that their incompetence, illegal acts or general misunderstandings of how the world works. They are not the same. There is no similarity. So there is no issue with semantics because it is clear.
  12. Yeah but the FSB is a real group with leadership, intention and structure that really hurts people to preserve power for the dictator. Perhaps in this case now for itself. While the "deep state" is just a made up boogie man that is nothing more than the general bureaucracy that moves slow and resists change.
  13. I strongly suspect you are the wrong place Yeah but the FSB is a real group that really hurts people to preserve power for the dictator. The "deep state" is just a made up boogie man that is nothing more than the general bureaucracy that moves slow and resists change.
  14. Interesting. I've played it three times. Twice as the yanks and once as the Soviets. It does seriously favour the US there is no doubt but it's good practice in using the terrain, moving tanks and positioning platoons to support each other. It is a training exercise.
  15. If the tube guy(tm) is a casualty then his partner, or someone else, needs to pick up the tube before it can fire again. That happens by allowing his team mate to buddy aid the tube guy. The panzerschreck or bazooka or PIAT will either be retrieved or determined to be non serviceable (NS) and thus no one gets to reuse the tube.
  16. OMG I love it. This thread has been many things over the year or so its been active and how we have serial smut. Fantastic. We offer everything here.
  17. Doesn't he have something else he is supposed to be doing?
  18. The palace intrigue continues. I wasn't really expecting Putin to be back in charge. Right now it kinda looks like Prig will regret stopping.
  19. It's 10:20pm in Moscow already. Did it happen or was this from last week?
  20. More like 12-14 hours - someone parked some dump trucks across the highway and dug up the road surface in a few places.
  21. Perhaps we'll get lucky and someone will wisk Putin away for his safety and he will never be seen again. I agree it doesn't look like Wagner will make it to the Kremlin but that doesn't mean someone else cannot take advantage of the chaos. Everything seems fine until suddenly it's not. That is how dictatorships end. We can hope.
  22. Could be a bug. Could be bad luck. Could be more guys in the squad spotted the enemy sooner. Look at if they spot shortly after the infantry or never repeat similar situation in a test scenario.
  23. My guess would be they don't have night vision sights. You can see night vision listed in the equipment list for the unit. Next question would be if they are missing should they be. That I don't know.
