Personally, I use "nitter" instead of "twitter", which makes it possible not to need an account, as a forum member previously suggested (thanks to him)

@Ultradave, I was wondering what your take is on this story:
-
I hate that these war crimes have happened. Maybe the EU or NATO will use this to figure out a way to get more involved now without plunging all of Europe into a war. I would say it is worth the risk to stop these atrocities, but since I live in the USA, I don't feel like I have the right to say that.

It does make sense. It’s hard to get any emotional impact out of firing a missile at a tank the next county over
That is true @Simcoe but I find myself getting much more emotionally attached to my Black Sea pixeltroopen than I do my WWII pixeltroopen for some odd reason. Many more explicatives are uttered whan my M2 Bradley opens it's doors and my soldiers get mowed down by machine guns. Compared to the same situation with a half-track. Dunno why.
I can see where the pucker factor is high because the unit tasked with recon is very expensive (again such as a Bradley). But I don't know why it's the same with pixeltroopen. Maybe modern troops are more relatable than the mass troops that had to be used in WWII.
And, of course, it may just be me...

This war has taught us one thing for sure. Tanks need drones to scout for them every bit as much as infantry needs drones to scout for them too. Maybe the Russians are gonna have to settle for drone CAS since they can't seem to coordinate their aircraft well enough to fulfil that role.
BTW, How may confirmed cases of Russian friendly fire involving aircraft have been seen? Anyone know?

Let's stay on topic guys. If you want to discuss racism do it with personal messages not forum posts please.

Russian Mi-28N shot down yesterday in Holubisvske area, Luhansk oblast. On other video local settler says, crew is survived
That's a KH-52 not an MI-28 don't you think?

Russian tank is set on fire from close artllery shell impact
So did that hit a fuel tank? Not sure where they are on that type of tank.

120 mm mortar shell hit Russian tank in motor compartment.
Looks more like the ammunition got hit than the engine...

It won't seem to me like its winding down (or cooling off) until the Russians start surrendering in droves. I wonder if that is why there may be a misinformation campaign spreading about how Ukrainians are treating POWs.

SF2 is the weakest title for me because of the accuracy of the modelling of the forces. The Syrian military is just not up to fighting most of the Blue forces so I end up fighting red on red most of the time.

I will be extremely helpful and say I only play... both. I love both the WWII and the Modern. They are so different I keep any burnout away by swapping back and forth.
-
I am looking for suggestions of good scenarios that feature large armor battles that would be good/balanced for head to head play. Something at least company size or larger and can also include infantry (mechanized or no). A series of reinforcements would be a plus but not a requirement. WWII or Modern. Anything you've found enjoyable.
-
Good points, but if I'm already compromised then an ECM jammer, broad range, is gonna be the way to go to defeat it quickly. The more mil-spec the drone, the harder that is going to be.
And you know what comes next, autonomous drones. Followed shortly by Skynet.
Edit: BTW, Im sure you know this already, but many military drones have a satellite antenna pointed skyward making them even harder to jam.

The signals/ECM platoon is now the most important unit in the entire army.
Totally agree. In the future, don't try to shoot a drone out of the sky, jam it out.

This makes more sense based on the visual evidence than Tochka-U:
First ship destroyed by drone attack? I bet it was a drone. That would make sense in many ways.

Here is that ship being unloaded 3 days ago:

Wow, it looks like the front doors are open and it is a complete inferno inside.
Curious to see what H.I. Sutton/Covert Shores and Sub Brief have to say about this. They've been following the Black Sea fleet movements. I can't believe the Ukrainians got them.

That's a really good quality video, and yeah, there's no doubt that that Alligator is history.
Yeah, that's one dead, 2 damaged amphibious transports. I think Russia only had 6 amphibious transports in the Black Sea. What got them?
