So i guess you said (in case of Kosovo) that only a select few ethnic groups and nation have a right to self-determination (that right must be guaranteed by US or NATO, gods forbid it Russia or someone else). And everything else you said sounds a lot like WMD's in Iraq (from alleged atrocities to powder keg situation). I guess you can make a positive impact in world by bombing railroad bridges just as the train is crossing it or maybe drop a bomb or two on a TV station... Unlike everyone else in those conflict we had the courage to prosecute people involved in war crimes. We paid a price for that. Can the same be said of anyone else involved in those conflict?

panzer, why do you think the international community so quick to condemn Americann aggression atrocities , whatever. whilst there seems to be a long record of silence except from the US and a couple of NATO members when Russia (especially) as soviets did the same similar and sometomes worse. and unapologetically
Yes we could and should speak of Holodomor and gulags in Siberia, adventure in Afganistan and every other Soviet/Russian "adventure". But when you attack "my" country by just relaying one side of the story I get butthurt.

Yes, complicated, especially on the Balkans.
Lacroix, you should start your story about Albanians in the 60's when their nationalistic tensions started to surge and Tito had to violently surpress the protests. They were slowly going towards their independence ever since. Unfurtunately for them it only got them a failed state and dreams of "it's going to be a paradise when we get our own country" shattered completely.
That story goes back to the WW2 and an "action" that saw the Albanian nationalist movement crushed for couple of decades. Then came the constitution from 1974 (i think its that year) that basically destroyed the federation and its layer of goverment- autonomous regions and states got a lot more "power". Couple that with growing nationalist movement + money and influence from exiled people and you got yourself a civil war. We were stupid in our decisions to keep the federation and achieve some hallucination called Greater Serbia.

Kosovo's objection has more to do with who's friends with who. The behavior of the Serbian military pretty much 1993-1999 is on the road to terrible, and we're ready to remember the agony of sad that the Serbs went through during the bombing, but not the well filled ditches the Serbs left from Croatia, through Bosnia, and beyond. All the Serbs had to do is stop shooting civilians, and there wouldn't have been much of a leg to stand on.
As the case is the region is a lot more stable today, and there's a marked downtick in violence. And Kosovo isn't a US territory so there you go.
I must admit, the behavior of Serbian army was shameful to say the least, but what of the behavior of Croatian army and its paramilitary of-shoots? Of the Bosnian armed militias and jihadists? Your country and its allies chose to side with fascists and radical islamists because it saw it fit at the time. Now we have those radical islamists walking up to the police stations and shooting policemen. And Kosovo. Really? Your country again intervened in entirely internal question and again chose to side with islamists and people who see it fit to finance their operations through drug and organ trade. The entire case for Kosovo was made up by Blair and his wife. Please don't take this as a sign that i support Milosevic and his cronies or that I deny the war crimes that have happened in that period. I answered mostly because what you speak is not entirely true.

Interlock OP is an excellent scenario, perfect for practicing squad attack and reaction to contact drill.

What this discussion looks like

And so... you've come to the conclusion everyone here already knew? The patch will improve some aspects of Soviet armor but dont expect it to be that greatly changed, and rightfully so. As Capt Miller has stated anyone who wants Abrams to be nerfed just so the game is balanced should go play Command and Conquer or something, the game is trying to be a simulation of real life combat, not a balanced RTS game. I think its funny that noone demands German tanks should be nerfed but somehow the Abrams should?
Who said anything about nerfing Abrams?
-
Anyone tested Javelin against M1A2? Time to fire up the scenario editor!
Post the result
-
Yes. And never forget this, and never forget to prostrate yourself before the Abrams gods, lest you invite their fury.
And like every other thread that has touched on this topic, Abrams vs T-90 at range is weighted in favor of the Abrams by several degrees. The sensor and weapons imbalance is most profound at the +1KM range. It's not an especially fair fight to the degree of going into a fight against Panthers with T-34/76s or M4A1s, or T-34/85s and M4A3E8s if you're going the T-90AM route.
I was merely explaining the method used in the test, but yes, you are right.
-
Lacroix: Until you are clear about your testing methodology and the conditions you're setting (precise models of systems involved, ranges, orientations, all that stuff) your "tests" are pretty much worthless. Figure out how to use Dropbox and put your test scenarios in a folder there, and share the link here so other people with the game can see what you're seeing.
Specifically, in your other "test" thread, you effectively did no testing, since you appeared to be citing in-game results from HvH games, and the biggest variable there is going to be how the tanks are used; we have no way of knowing whether you were facing some tactical genius who maximised all the Abrams' advantages (and, to be clear, the Abrams does have many advantages, IRL, against the T-90).
A good test sets up a tightly-controlled situation where you can change one element at a time. It needs to be run enough times to produce a statistically relevant number of interactions, carefully noted. The methodology is then described to see whether it can be replicated. The best description is a copy of the test.
As some forum members know, I am not a tactical genius. Test was done on a flat map. Initial distance was ~2930 meters. Abrams spotted, engaged and penetrated in matter of seconds while the T90 couldnt achieve penetration.
-
The only unit that achieved a partial penetration was a Kornet and it was a massed volley of 3 units firing at the same time.
-
We tested every Russian atgm against Abrams with APS. First, a single unit fired and achieved nothing- missile intercepted. Then i ordered two units to fire at the same time. One got intercepted and the other hit the tank for minimal system damage. Same with RPG's and RPO's.
-
Abrams has the advantage both in long range and in short range.
-
By mistake
-
One Abrams actually took 4 hits on front armor from ~20 meters and then managed to destroy 4 T90 in quick succession.

Name of the topic says it all.

Or better yet: a civilian dies in NATO peacekeeping operation- collateral damage. Civilian dies in Kosovo during operations led either by the police or army- war crime. If you really take a step back you'll see that there is no good or evil and that the ones proclaiming something as good or evil are trying to use as a tool.
Or better yet a UN created Tribunal where there were some pretty hefty sentences. And thats just for the leadership. I was talking about the ones that did the killing- they were sentenced by our courts. Some cases are still ongoing. And then i take a look to the west and see a country that celebrates the day they forced every Serb they could get their hands on (about a thousand or so were killed in their homes) out of the country. Doesn't that constitute a humanitarian crisis or maybe even a crime against humanity (part of ethnic cleansing is forced relocation)?
