I don't know what version of the game they were playing. I loaded up the demo and started to feel nauseaus from the the flickering shadows and the swirling psychedelic moire patterns in the plowed fields, until the point where I had to quit the game.
The review would come off as more credible if it had said something along the lines of "great gameplay, shame about the graphics".
Ever considered that not everyone has flickering shadows and swirling pyschedelic patterns showing up in there game?
I mean I'm not going to say CM has great graphics and honestly Steve probably wouldn't either, but they do the job just fine in my opinion especially with mods. It looks like you should log a ticket about those graphical problems.

I really don't think BF's next priority should be a mobile game of all things.

I for one think a GAU-8 based ground system is an entirely reasonable idea.
Excuse the terrible quality, It's only a quick mockup.
Ill kickstart the money for a GAU-8 Abrams if I have to!
One for every platoon!

Kutzenov just lost another aircraft.
This is pretty embarrassing for the Kunetsov's first debut. Its a pretty big deal losing two planes as well because there aren't that many on there in the first place.
Edit: Its also important to note that the majority of the SU-33's are now flying FROM Syria instead of off the carrier.

I want my red hordes of T-80's and BMP's in the Fulda Gap!

To the media anything with armor in its name or something that is used by the military on land is considered a tank. In the US the media loves to call the MRAPS given to police departments "Tanks".

Thats working as intended, they are technically a "light" machinegun team because they are using the air cooled .30 cal.

Get me a source other than sputnik and I might take it seriously.

1. The amount of weapons we provided has been fairly modest, and with absolutely stupid levels of restriction to the degree it's effectively meaningless. We've insisted on only arming groups that'll fight ISIS, while trying to avoid ones fighting Assad, which is a cute distinction when Assad is bombing all of them. Even looking at what the Arab states (stupidly in my opinion) sent in, we're talking a drop in the bucket compared to the arms distributed to the Syrian government by the Russian government, and those arms, and their users as well and effectively illustrated in the links I posted that you failed to read, are what's killing the overwhelming majority of people, not ISIS, not the other non-state actors.
We can agree on how silly it is arming these groups in Syria though right?
At one point we had a CIA backed rebel group and a Pentagon backed rebel group killing eachother with the weapons we gave them. That isn't to mention plenty of reports talking about how once said weapons were recieved by a particular group they were almost immediately distributed to "friends" of the group or sold to the highest bidder. I don't think we should be arming anyone with anything bigger than an M-4 because you have no idea where the heck its going to end up, hopefully TOW's are the biggest thing they get.

I'm really curious about what happened to the new website honestly.

I'm really enjoying Graviteam Tacts: Mius Front Shilovo 1942 DLC.
Having some great back and forth clashes with Russian rifle battalions and tank brigades in the early stages of Operation Blau.
Right now I am commencing my counter-attack with newly arrived panzers and I'm hoping I can punch through in the next day or two. The operational map is amazing and seeing the death and destruction from previous battles is awesome.

Hm...
I see a few potential problems with this.
1. We'll need doors now because it'll be hard for the crew to get in through the top hatches. I'm thinking armored Delorean style doors to be exact.
2. This thing is going to stick out like a sore thumb
3. The radome might be a little to low to the ground
Overall though, the AWACS Abrams looks like it could be a huge hit!
-
With a nuclear tank we don't even need ICBM's anymore, we'll just take those silly things out of the Air forces budget!
Now we can just use the M1A2 OMGWTFBBQ (Official working title). Park that sucker in Syria and see what happens, world peace in a day.

This should be on topic enough for this thread- Kunetsov sortieing yesterday for the Syrian Theater
Kunetsov's OOB (Including itself, not sure if this 100% accurate but the CMANO guys are a good source on this kind of stuff)
CAG- MiG-29K and SU-33
Kuznetsov KAG:
pr. 11435 "Kuznetsov"
pr. 11442 "Petr Velikiy"
pr. 1155 "Severomorsk"
pr. 1155 "Admiral Kulakov"
pr. 1559V "Sergei Osipov"
pr. 1452 "Altay"Apparently the entire Russian navy will be joining us! (If she doesn't break down again trying to get there
)

DOD's going to pay us for this right, I mean this can't be anymore ridiculous than what they actually come up with sometimes?
-
Hmmmm...Arleigh Burke class destroyers have VLS missile systems...Abrams are tanks which are land ships...we need an Abrams capable of launching Javelins via VLS!

In the skies above Syria SU-34s have Garmin civilian GPS devices in the cockpit because it's more functional than the Russian counterpart.
I was honestly shocked to see that in some of the Syria footage, they were using those same civilians GPS systems in Tu-22's as well. No wonder there having trouble with accuracy and hitting things, civilian GPS+dumb bombs makes bombing Syria look like Germany circa 1944.

I also agree.
What about cluster munitions as well? The Russians sure seem to have large stockpiles of them, and doesn't the US still field them? It would add an interesting and deadly take to airstrikes.Oh I don't think you want to give the US access to its cluster munitions...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-154_Joint_Standoff_Weapon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBU-97_Sensor_Fuzed_Weapon
I have a feeling some people might have a problem with this sentence especially...
"The CBU-97 consists of an SUU-66/B tactical munition dispenser that contains 10 BLU-108 submunitions. Each submunition contains four hockey-puck-shaped sensor-fused projectiles called Skeets. These detect target vehicles, such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks and other support vehicles, and fire a kinetic energy penetrator downwards at them."
Ive used these things in DCS and Falcon there *%^&(*& horrifying, and definitely earned there place in the Geneva convention that we...uh didn't exactly sign.
(Yeah I know DCS and Falcon aren't authoritative sources...)

Slowly puts away Pentagon Wars Bradley video for the 3rd time on this website

CM: Fulda Gap is pretty much my dream Combat Mission game honestly.
World War 2 military history was my gateway drug so to speak into military history. Now that Ive branched out and started to understand, study, and play games involving that period it has me very interested.

That was never a feature, indirect fire from infantry guns and the like have only ever been available through the artillery window.

Dark red- Out of visual/oral command range

I'm curious @Battlefront.com Steve why you think the break up of the US is inevitable? It has very strong geographic, demographic, economic, political, cultural and military reasons for staying together.
I think the election currently happening is a pretty good argument for it!
I don't think we'll be splitting up, but the two halves of the political divide live in very different worlds and if you really want to go in depth look at what each major political party believes in comparison to the other. Their are a lot of interesting polls that really show you what people think within a margin of error of course.
PS: This website or the Battlefront community needs a discord or chat room so we can yell at each other faster and more efficiently.

I'd like to hear at least one positive thing about the Russian military from Panzer and Steve.

Armchair General praises Final Blitzkrieg
in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
Posted · Edited by Raptorx7
I think were all overreacting a bit here...
To back up how I responded to Bulletpoint when he said "The review would come off as more credible if it had said something along the lines of "great gameplay, shame about the graphics". I took issue with it because it wasn't factually correct in terms of what he had said previously about flickering shadows and psychedelic patterns, both of which are not something everyone sees obviously. I might have taken it a bit too literally and I certainly agree the game has it problems and those should be pointed out instead of patting BF on the back all the time.
