Low morale. You were told you are a part of a Chosen One ethnicity that can't be defeated and Ukrainians are nothing but lowly farmers - but you just saw half of the previous guys returning in body bags / not returning at all (or smell that mobile crematorium working day and night) - and then you are being send in there, see the tank crew nearby getting grilled on that very grill they installed by the NLAW, while your old soviet BMP runs out of fuel due to Bayraktars from another era ****ing up your fuel convoy - while your analog radio can't reach command and your food supply is 7 years past expiration date - so you only think "screw you guys, I'm going home".

Stop calling us cousins please. Ukrainians are completely unrelated to russians. We share no history nor culture with them.
Just because they occupied our territories on and off for 300 years before - makes us connected to then literally in the same way as Czechs being connected to Germans.

CMBS also has Ukrainians as the weakest ground force. Time to rebalance the game eh

Historical revisionism of what?
There was no Rossiya (how they themselves spell and write it, not 'russia') until 1721 but there is literally 'Rus' in Grand Duchy of Lithuania and 'Rus' at the time of Muscovy - and the vast majority of Rus lands were a part of Grand Duchy. And Rus dynasties were highly represented and electing the the Duke/King of GD for centuries to come.
The first real Rus territory that came under Muscovy control was Novgorod in 1578 after a really really bloody war that ended up in a genocide of Novgorod population.
Muscovy itself, being the territory of Golden Horde, was muslim. Rus was christian.
Rossiya itself has been doing historical revisionism since forever, their whole history is a lie - it's literally why they invented "tataro-mongolian yoke" in 18th century, while disregarding Grand Duchy fighting against muscovites and Golden Horde as a whole to begin with and kept on twisting and turning events since then.
Or maybe you can explain to me why XIII-XVII centuries is a one giant hole in russian official history?
It's almost literally "there was Rus, then evil mongols captured all then suddenly Russia out of the blue"
Even talking languages - how come ukrainians, belarusians, poles and czechs mostly understand each other without vocabulary - but russians understand nobody?
If we were the same and closely connected - wouldn't it make sense for languages to be similar? But russians instead spent 300 years trying to eradicate slavic languages of Ukraine and Belarus.

Russians specifically target dense civilian areas - it's how they fight wars.
Unless every civilian is their enemy, which they certainly make sure to make very real.
Russian modus operandi is to terrorize people so they stop supporting the defenders. Grozny and Aleppo are prime examples of how russians "fight"
 

Didn't quarter of Americans think that 9/11 was an inside job?
Seems to be it's a stable percentage of that kind of people.

Who said they didn't try? In the first night they launched nearly a hundred missile strikes to take out airfields and air defenses (that's how I learned that an S-300 launch sounds like a salute pop and can be heard 30km away).
Most of those MISSED. Because russian precision munitions aren't precise at all.
Not to mention all our planes weren't there thanks to US intelligence and, quite possibly, are not operating from Ukrainian airfields.

Yeah it's all fine. I'm obviously being agitated.
That '72' thing is actually in Brovary, not even Kyiv.

Yeahs their defo no from the UK - here we think in cities/regions eg I’m in the Highlands or I’m in Inverness. Odd phrase they used like you suspect troll/shill. 

That's how you insta-detect russians here too. They say "western Ukraine" and "eastern Ukraine", as if separate countries - they think in these extremely weird regional/directional ways.

Here's my personal all-in-one pack that also includes fixed Kieme's buildings. In his mod Kieme saved window textures with an incorrect transparency layer and as a result they all appear as an invisible square hole in the closest LOD - then immediately jump to fully opaque as you move the camera away. This download has that issue fixed.
Also it includes the optional mod that replaces "dubok" soviet-style ukrainian camo with a modern digital one, that army realistically used universally in 2017. That digital one is present as an option in the mission editor / quick battle - but this one allows you to play as digicam UAF in a campaign and original missions.

I like this change of rhetoric over the past 5 years when Steam was seemingly the enemy of all things money. But eh, better late than never, so :salute:
Steam has a fairly large community which is extremely starved for realistic military games. They will "mostly positive" anything that has any kind of bullet drop in it. Combat Mission will be getting those upvotes in droves.

Uh oh

Uh oh

This. This is so incredibly important in any strategy game that doesn't allow direct control over troops for a player.
I mean - all those movement commands include an absolute disregard for an incoming fire. The command can just be a "modifier" for a waypoint (like "pause" or "deploy weapon") and would mean that in between the previous waypoint and the modified one as soon as bullets start coming TAC AI deletes all waypoints and hits the dirt.
This can potentially save thousands... MILLIONS... of pixeltruppen lives all over the world!
