How does the hull down command is supposed to work? I give this command to the tanks, they go where I tell them to go, but they don't look for any better position, than the one I designate for them with the waypoint.

Excellent news!

OK, thanks for the info. I guess the UI mod won't work because there is a new "hull down" command. I hope the UI mod will get updated pronto by @Juju

I have two standard questions: 1. Will the old save files still be compatible after upgrading to 4.0? 2. What about the previously installed mods? I have all the possible mods installed in my both CM games ( vehicles, sound, interface etc ). Will I have to install them again? I really hope I won't need to do it, since it would probably take a whole evening of my time for each game.

The malware was able to retrieve communications and some locational data from infected devices, intelligence that would have likely been used to strike against the artillery in support of pro-Russian separatists fighting in eastern Ukraine, the report from cyber security firm CrowdStrike found. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/report-russia-hack-ukraine-1.3908398

"The Air Force command of Ukraine's armed forces acknowledged to Reuters that the Ravens supplied by the United States had a fundamental drawback: Russia and the separatist forces it supports can intercept and jam their video feeds and data". http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-ukraine-drones-exclusive-idUSKBN14A26D Time to introduce electronic warfare in CMBS?

Thank you @Haiduk for your informative posts. Other than that - another perfectly good thread went to ****.

No drones in Ukr vs Rus. They are allowed in Rus vs US.

1. No APS on the vehicles. 2. No air assets - it's pointless to have them, because they get totally negated by the air defence. I prefer to have more cash on the ground units. My favorite setup is Russian vs Ukrainians - they are fairly balanced or Russians vs disadvantaged US forces . For example heavy tactical Russian combat group built around tanks vs US Stryker force with no tanks.

Me neither with Mattis as Defense Secretary and Mitt Romney as possible Secretary of State.

Let's hope for the best!

Ok, ok

Yes and they are going to be deployed to Europe - Poland and Baltics. I guess the reason for it is to further provoke Russia

That doesn't sound encouraging Thanks for the info anyway.

Well I hope then, it will soon become operational I meant one third of my whole armor force got immobilized. That is one vehicle out of three. Hope that makes sense

Ehm, is there a possibility that a bogged down vehicle may become unbogged during the same game? In one of my games, 33% of my armor just got immobilized ( it's a tiny battle, so I only have 3 vehicles there ). This is a devastating outcome

The stealth tank was a bull**** tank - a cardboard mockup designed by a computer game studio, put on the CV90 chassis. The cardboard pieces of it are still laying around in the Bumar Labedy factory - I know a guy who saw them there. From the real stuff - the fleet of Polish Leopards 2A4 is undergoing a modernization to 2PL standard: Apart from that, there are Leopards 2A5 in thePolish inventory. I've recently found out that our German friends are also secretly supplying us with a modern APFSDS, but I'm not going to elaborate on it here

That's certainly true.

Re: conventional artillery vs tanks. I remember reading about the tests conducted by US Army in the 80's. A dug in mechanized force, was subjected to a typical Soviet style artillery barrage ( conventional munitions ). The results were pretty devastating. If not completely destroyed, the tanks and APS were severely damaged what would result in them being out of action for some time. I know that an IED made out of 155mm shell is not the same, as the shell falling from the sky, but the video gives you an idea how powerful the artillery could be.

So I guess the invite is closed now

Anybody interested in a PBEM? I'd go for a quick battle, large map, medium, mixed force, AI picks the map. Don't mind the side, we could switch after each game. If anyone's interested, please send me a PM.

In CMBS there are no DPICM or fuel-air explosive munitions, that would be most devastating against the vehicles and that wreaked havoc among the unexpecting and unprepared Ukrainian troops in Donbas. Having said this, I think a standard HE 155mm or 152mm shell exploding next to an armored vehicle, could easily disable it, but I've never seen it happening in CMBS. For the record - I don't think that artillery firing DPICM would work well in the scale of CM. You could just plaster the whole area general where you expect the enemy to be and go home.

Excellent!

Out of caution, I'm not going to install the patch yet What about the known Oplot commander bug? Has this been addressed?
