    Chibot Mk IX got a reaction from Bulletpoint in WAD? Bug? Trick to make the same arty spotter to call upon two separate arty requests   
    I am using the CMSF 2 as a showcase here as I just noticed this trick during my USMC campaign.
     
    As you know, CMx2 only allow one arty spotter to request one fire mission. Unless it is the deployment phase, a fire mission request during the game will block other arty assets. For example, the spotter team #1 request the 155mm arty mission, and you cannot select the 120mm mortar. 

     
    However, if we select the spotter team #2 , click the requested arty assets (showing busy) and click "go to the spotter" that brings the unit panel information back to spotter #1.
     

     
     
    And here is the trick, although other assets says, "Spotter busy", nothing stops you to select these arty assets to issue a new arty mission. The spotter will do the spotting at two different locations and later these two missions are successfully fire for effect. 

     

     

     

     
     
    This is a bug , I guess?

    Video of 3rd assault brigade squad, holding own position under intensive mortar fire - several shells hit almost on breastwork of the trench. Soldiers fire at recon Mavic and say this was second shot down drone. Then FPV attacks them, but missed. Soldiers fire at some invisible target in the trees and one cries "Look out FPV!". At the end M113 has arrived to change them on position with other squad

    That is where math meets reality.
    P = W / t
    Double W and you double P - easy. Unfortunately not.
    The P on the left side represents a real machine (an engine, a laser, ...). It has a maximum power output which is limited by its construction (the CCs you have in a combustion engine or the heat dissipation in a laser to name some restraints). If you try to go beyond that power, you won't get it in the best case or destroy it in the worst.
    So P is fixed. What happens when you add to W is this:
    t = W / P
    t gets bigger. Meaning you can drive or shoot longer.
    Where caps help in the laser scenario is, that they can release a lot of energy in a short time. Much more than batteries or a diesel generator. If your laser can take that power - good! But just adding caps won't make the laser more powerful (in the sense of: more output power).
    This ends my basic physics' lesson to not further derail this thread.

    There is no relation between having a lot of energy to having a lot of power - at least the useful sort of power. If you put a nail through your Cap, the energy is released very fast, but not very useful (unless you need an explosion).
    Adding large capacitors to your laser does not make them more powerful. The power output stays the same. But you can fire for a longer time.
    The analogy to a car works quite well. Adding a gas tank to your car adds stored energy. But it does not affect the power output of your motor. You can, however, drive for a longer time.

    Pretty impressive counter battery work of a sort - track a GRAD to it's base.  Then destroy everything that's there - vehicles, ammo, personnel.

    I have only played this scenario in a PBEM game as Soviets, so my suggestion here is more from Soviet POV. 
    Keep in mind this is a very large size map, but due to the difficulty of the terrain, Soviets has limit road to approach the objectives. And yes, German has limit AT power at the beginning. So their main task is to identify the SOV's main thrust. Then use mortar and HMG to area fire the fording points, separate the Tank riders with the tanks. In that case when the German main body show up they can easily control the village, change the close quarter tank battles in the village into a long range duel.  If you need to use the scout to ambush the tanks, don't put them in the house, instead put them behind the house. And if the PzII Luchs are taking the Soviets headon then you are using them incorrectly. Hide them in the woods, later they can charge out of the woods bring havoc to the soviets trucks.
     
    One more thing, the Soviets' 82mm mortar has a range limit on this map.

    Quick reminder to my fellow CMRT players, you can’t save a game and return to it later. So for the German defender with lots of fortifications and freedom to make their own defense setup. This can take awhile. So if you need a break, dinners ready, baby’s crying, etc, either leave the game running or alt-tab to minimize the game.
    Also completely ignore any tourney files that show up in your saved games & PBEM list. These will not get sent to your opponent. Only play the ones under PBEM ++ in Progress list.

    It is completely broken. Just look at this they get within 50 meters of each other in broad daylight and be doesn't even see it. It's laughable that anybody would consider this to be realistic behaviour.
    Completely unplayable, I want a refund.

    "Leaked" 🤣   Well, I am an expert with 38 years of submarine construction and testing, and as a subject matter expert I can say that that submarine is truly f-ed, FUBAR, SNAFU, scrap metal.
