  1. I would say that the early setbacks in North Africa against a British force that they ought to have been overrun must have left a lasting impression on many Italian soldiers as to the state of their equipment (basically being outdated, due to Italy's early rearmament and their industrial and design inefficiency) and woefully inadequate leadership.

    Have you tried the newest update to CMBS? Before the new update I saw my Brads using their autocannons against armored targets way too much, and neglecting their TOWs. Now after the patch this issue seems to be completely gone. My Brads use their TOWs almost exclusively against tanks, and once their out of ammo they retreat to find a place to reload. I've only seen Brads engaging tanks with their autocannons out of sheer desperation, an absolute last resort now. Not sure if this new behavior applies to the BMP as well though. 

    As far as fire and all that, I would definitely like to see smoke effects improved upon. Little things, like smoke and dust hanging around for a bit longer, especially smoke from a burning vehicle and the like. 

    However what I would like to see before any of that is more fire support options. Specifically in the modern titles, artillery needs ICM. I also really want to see cluster munitions deployed by aircraft. They are extremely effective in conventional operations, and would certainly be used heavily in the scenario CMBS portrays. I want to see aircraft with more munition options as well. For instance it would be nice if you could have a plane ripple its bombs off, so instead of taking 5-8 minutes for every one bomb, you could just order the plane to drop all of its bombs in a target area. This would primarily be for dumb bombs, but it would be a nice feature. FASCAM deployed by artillery would be a cool feature as well, but that could pose some gameplay/coding problems so its lower on my list. 

    I have downloaded and installed the newest patch, but I haven't had a lot of time to play.  I'll have time to do some proper testing in the Christmas holidays and report back if things are better with the new patch. 

    Improving fire support options would be nice as well :D

  3. I would like to see a weapons toggle system, like the one in the Wargame series, so that you can choose which weapon to use in a given situation. This would be a way to improve the game's current problems with units not using the correct weapon in a given situation (like BMPs using autocannons against MBTs rather than their ATGM).

    Fire would be awesome. Currently the game does not do justice to the power of the RPO. 

  4. Well, the M107 is actually not a sniper rifle, it is an anti-material rifle.

    Also its semi-automatic action means that it is quite a bit less accurate than a dedicated bolt-action sniper rifle.  

    This might explain the lack of accuracy, even for an Elite team. 

  5. As you very well know there is little correlation between what politicians say they are going to do when in office, and what they actually do when in office. Obama is the perfect example of this. Possibly the worst president in US history.

    So you would rather have crooked lying Hillary for you president? A woman who has made hundreds of millions of dollars doing favours for foreign powers while in office as Secretary of State, and who has leaked hundreds of classified e-mails due to 'negligence'.

    No matter how bad Trump would be, he could only be better than Hillary. She will sell out the American people just like Obama - a man who has done very little, yet promised to do a lot and has taken credit for a lot (I still crackle up when I read that he received the Nobel Peace Prize, thanks to him the Middle East is more FUBAR than ever.).

  6. Trump is not going to abolish NATO.

    What he has said is that he wants the members of NATO to pitch in a lot more than they are now - in terms of spending and responsibility/capability. He has rightly pointed out that the US does a more lot of NATO's heavy lifting than they used to during the Cold War Era. I believe that his rhetoric should be seen as an intent to pressure NATO members to do their part to free up US forces to focus elsewhere.

    You mean realtime within the game? 

    There's already damage shown,  in game and as a choice of damage type to building skins in the scenario editor.  

     

    Yes realtime. Like the standard decals, but with the black area being transparent to give the proper effect..

    Sounds like someone needs to do a bit more urban recon by fire... :P

    In a way yes. I would like to be able to riddle a building with bullet and shell holes rather than just have the two-stage damage system that ends with the walls collapsing.

  8. I can't help but think that NATO's encroachment into Eastern Europe played a big part in driving Russia towards a more aggressive posture and it's decision to intervene in Ukraine.

    Ukraine literally means 'borderland' and that is the role it has played historically, separating the western powers from Russia. Ukraine's leaning to the West, and the sudden and tumultuous fall of the elected pro-Russian government must have made Putin sweat, and perhaps jump the gun.   

    It is equally important to understand how important Sevastopol is to Russia's national security being its only warm water port. Losing Sevastopol would be like losing the Pacific islands for the US.

    I'm looking forward to the BMD-4M equipped units, I'm pretty hyped about other expansions as I've already grown tired of the in game units. Maybe next year we can get a T-14 expansion :D

    Indeed. Would absolutely love to see the Armata series in the game.

    Also, it would be nice to see the VDV equipped with small arms like the AK-12 or A-545 for flavour.
