Actually, RPG-7 is a cool thing, even for a professional army. In fact, you have pocket artillery, the main thing is to replace the grenades with more modern ones. On my own behalf, for RPG-7, there is a very lack of a rangefinder sight for quick aiming, it would be useful.

I will be riding a motorcycle in late spring, all summer and early fall. In winter I will use public transport or car. It's funny, but our winters have become warmer in european zone, the last cold winter in my memory is 2007-2008. During the service, I always took vacation in the winter of december-january and came home. And I was surprised that there was very little snow and warm enough for winter -5 - 0 ° C. Sometimes there is very heavy snowfall for a couple of days. Unfortunately, we also have a lot of aggressive drivers who don't like motorcyclists. I think this is a problem everywhere. P.S. I have a small dream to travel with friends in Europe by car or in another way.

It turns out GOG last year released CMx1 series for modern PCs.

Once playing with a friend in DCS, he asked how I feel about wargame, to which I answered positively. He showed me debriefings of past Combat Mission games, I immediately liked the game for its scale of battles, types of troops and various scenarios (historical and fictional), and I immediately took the full version of CMBN. After that I started buying other CMx2 games. P.S. In Russia, 1C SoftClub even localized CMSF and CMA, only the CMSF disk remained, the other one lost.

Somehow I became interested in armored vehicles, which did not go into production. I was a little terrified what monsters were building, how engineers could build them. And how many have not yet been embodied in metal .

In Russian army, an artillery fire spotter is allocated at the company level. In platoons, platoon commanders are ready to direct artillery, but usually a few more soldiers are trained to correctly direct artillery, this difficulty was encountered in Syria when it became clear that more artillery spotters were needed. As a result of Syrian campaign, a couple of years ago, forward air controller began to be allocated to the company level, usually these are guys who once flew but they were written off due to various diseases, but there are already those who were trained in military schools. Honestly, I would also like to have a trained artillery fire spotter at platoon level.

I agree, but if you make a trench manually in the editor, it protects better. But unfortunately, such trenches can be done in scenario, but not in QB. Maybe in the future there will be such an opportunity.

Exercise West-2021 is ahead .

I have bad English, I have never hidden it.

After pandemic, I want to learn to ride a motorcycle myself, just right for the city. Be careful next time.

Something like AT-ST and AT-AT walkers, yes I'm a Star Wars fan.

I wanted to ask for a long time, I know that in US Army and USMC machineguns are used disintegrating belt. In Russian army, non-disintegrating. What do you do with a machinegun belt after shooting at range ?

FI +, FB you will buy later.

Not only tanks, barrel artillery was badly damaged. There was a gap of 20 years, and this still reverberates in modern Russia.

U.S. Marine Rifle Platoon (Planned) ? https://www.battleorder.org/us-marine-platoon-2020 I am surprised that, at last, an analogue of RPG-7 has appeared in squads, and not in weapons platoon.

Why don't USMC take a closer look at project Griffin 2 ? Light tank within ~ 30 tons, firepower of M1 tank and excellent cross-country ability in difficult terrain. The same Chinese already have an analogue in form of TYPE15, in Russia Sprut-S is still being developed and it seems that Indians are looking closely at this light tank.

Yes BMP-3M (ERA) is cheaper but by 1-3 points, but it has "RARITY" points. That is, you will not take many such IFVs.

I have a question for developers of the Combat Mission, did you think about making a single CM launcher and selling DLC in form of armies, theaters of war, era (WW2, modern, etc.). The era is needed so that the modern army does not fight with army of Second World War. DLC control is done as in DCS World or MFS 2020.

Given that Pentagon considers China to be a greater threat than Russia. And in cases of local conflict, battles will be fought for islands in Pacific Ocean. The effectiveness of heavy tanks in such a small space is questionable. As far as I know, there are no light tanks in US Army and USMC, with the exception of being sold as a cannon system based on Stryker, but tracks are still better than wheelbase. But it seems that USMC will receive in future land-based cruise missiles of the Tomahawk system.

I wonder what ordinary people and soldier in west think about Afghan campaign in which NATO has been participating for 19 years.

I agree that the T-72B will be a workhorse for another 5-10 years. Although I really like tanks with gas turbine engines, in early years of my service I worked with them together, what they get up to can not boast of the T-72/90 tanks.

Yes, after graduation I received a diploma of higher education with a military and civilian specialty. Yes, I did, you can play interesting moments, you can use it as a teaching material for cadets. But in the field it is much better, there are too many variables that depend on people. I know that RF army uses "Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations". But I got the impression that US Army units have a faster reaction to the enemy in the game, detect the enemy faster and are less susceptible to panic, with the same settings. Any person is always afraid when they shoot at him, even a trained soldier is afraid. Fight on TV and in reality are very different things. The same applies to armored vehicles with thermal imaging sights, my friend a tanker on a T-72B3 tank said that search for a target is carried out in a wide-angle view of sight. When target is found, time passes in order to bring the aiming mark to the target and increase the zoom of the sight, select a projectile, measure the range and only then fire a shot. In game this passes quickly enough. But the last time I played in CMBS was over a year ago, maybe they changed something with the patches. But my favorite series Combat Mission game is Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy, has something soulful about it. The organizational structure of company in the video has some errors. RPK machinegun was removed from the squads due to insufficient firepower, 45 charging magazine did not give the advantage that PKM / PKP machineguns give. Machinegunners in squads do not have a second number, they carry 600 rounds of ammunition of the first stage and also a box with 440 rounds of ammunition, same box for 440 rounds is carried by the squad leader. But this is the standard ammunition. In reality, such boxes for 440 rounds are also carried by shooters as additional ammunition for machinegunner, and in addition to this, they also have their own additional ammunition. I was very surprised that US Marines abandoned M249, which is an excellent weapon for suppressing the enemy. Russian army is only going to deliver something similar to us, the only question is when.I would then send 1-2 PKM / PKP machine guns to HQ platoon , or add a 4th machine gun platoon of 2 squads. In battle, the soldier is carried only the main ammunition and a part in placers in assault backpacks, the rest of the supply remains in the raid backpacks that remain in place and are guarded by several soldiers, they also act as assistants to the san-instructor (medic), while the rest participate in the battle. Or they are attached to the sides of combat vehicles. By the way, RPK machine guns are still used in marine infantry in squads. But Russian marines are now changing a lot towards expeditionary forces like in USMC , units are greatly strengthened. But with the SVD it is interesting, in company on IFV of sniper, and not marksmans. They are armed with SVD and SV-98 rifles and are better trained in special training centers. Usually 1-2 snipers are assigned to HQ platoon and same group is assigned to HQ company , for a total of 8 snipers per company. But in company on APC it is already different, they are already considered marksmans. They are armed with SVD rifles and do not undergo special training as a sniper in IFV company. But at the same time, 1-2 snipers are assigned to of HQ company. In total, there are 9 marksmans and 2 snipers in company on APC. I was in class at the institute and forgot what I started to answer. I'm sorry.

I apologize for my bad english. Hi everyone, my name is Denis, I will briefly tell you about myself. I served in army RF for 12 years with 16.5 years of experience. I served in the infantry and mountain troops. He began his service as a conscript soldier, finished his service as a company commander in the rank of captain. I became an officer when I entered the officer courses and after 3 years received rank of lieutenant. I left army because of my health after being wounded, alas, with a metal rod in my leg, they write off, so I'm retired at 30 years old. I have plans to get a second higher education, I have already entered college and still want to get a flight license for an airplane. The Combat Mission series was introduced to me by a friend of mine in 2014, my first game was CMBN and it is my favorite part of CM. I am ready to answer your questions, to which I can give an answer. I will not answer provocative questions. Ask questions.

@Battlefront.com @BFCElvis I suggest closing the topic or temporarily freezing it. Since such topics do not come to anything good.

Very beautiful, we are waiting.
