On the forum and in various discords, the topic has been raised more than once as to whether there was a ground-based radar on the BRM-1 in our gaming time of 1979-1982. Last week I started researching the topic and came across a reconnaissance vehicle operating manual from 1982. All that is known about the radar itself is that it began production in the mid-1970s. Perhaps the information provided will give us in the future a ground radar on the BRM-1K in one of the patches, since I can judge that a ground radar could initially be on all reconnaissance vehicles.

In addition, I studied the topic of thermal imagers in the USSR and learned some interesting things.
The first Soviet zero-generation thermal imager to go into small-scale production was 1PN59 "Posobie-1", which consisted of 50 sensitive elements and had a scanning frequency of 16 Hz, and a target recognition range of 2000 m. This device was installed on PRP-4 (1984) - a mobile reconnaissance point used for reconnaissance and target designation of missile and artillery systems.
The second thermal imager of the first generation was 1PN71 "Posobie-2" with 64 sensitive elements and a scanning frequency of 33 Hz. The target recognition range increased to 3000 m. This device was installed on PRP-4M (1988).
The first two thermal imagers did not find widespread use in sighting equipment and were used only for monitoring the terrain on highly specialized reconnaissance vehicles. However, even if one wanted to, 1PN59 could not be used as a sight due to the low scanning frequency.
Directly for equipping tanks, work was carried out on "Agava-1" thermal imager, which already had 100 sensitive elements and could recognize a tank-type target at 2000 m. "Agava-1" successfully passed tests, but the military abandoned it due to unsatisfactory characteristics, so the timing equipping Soviet tanks with thermal imagers moved back again. After this, the development of an improved version, "Agava-2" began. The number of sensitive elements was increased to 256 pieces, and the target recognition range increased by 20-30%. “Agava-2” suited the military, but its mass production took place in the early 90s, when the country no longer had time for thermal imagers, however, this sight will be installed on some Russian T-80U/UK tanks.

I am ashamed of the actions of my government, I hoped to the last that there would be no war and this is just a bluff. Now anti-war rallies are taking place all over Russia, no one supports this war, there are a bunch of idiots who support it, but I assure you that the majority of the population is AGAINST THIS WAR. 
I honestly empathize with Ukrainians, but in no case will I rejoice at the death of our Russian soldiers! Young guys who could live a long life and do so much good in life, and not die for the sake of crazy ideas. 
 


 

 

 


 

I don't know why such a minute fear affects what could be one of the game's largest features. The fear is that people will modify Russian tanks so they dont get stomped in cmbs? Or weaken Abrams? Etc?
I guess that's fine, I wouldn't even ask for a tool to edit unit values like that. That's BFC's thing.
I'm more interested in an editable TOE: being able to customize squads (like CMPE) and also being able to develop TOEs that aren't native to the base game + modules.. I ran into a ton of trouble when trying to create my MRB in cmbs. I had to create too many ad hoc solutions for simple problems. I'm mostly finished with a MRD for cmcw and I've come across the same issues, but less so since I'm using a source with less fidelity than the one previously used for the MRB.
 
men of war, company of heroes all made you load up mod packs to use ingame, and they only worked in multiplayer if you had the same mod loaded up. Is something like this completely infeasible?
 
I'm not sure what you mean but I doubt it's relevant.
I pay you money for something good.
Personally when I make purchases around here it's because I know I can add the master maps to my other games. I feel I haven't been getting an incredible amount of new and different vehicles. CMCW has many of its vehicles from SF2 and maybe even Afghanistan. CMFB has many of its vehicles from CMFI, CMBN. SF2 was a re-do of itself which took ages also.

I've nowhere near enough spare time to dedicate myself to another CM project and my current backlog will probably take, at least, a year to box off however these past few days I started playing around with CMFI & the Jungle environment of Heaven & Earth...
... I, of course, tweaked the environmental mods somewhat (which are still heavily based on work by @EZ) & added a few bits & bobs from the like of @Lucky_Strike & Aris.
 
Obviously it's full of placeholders, still I think there's potential here for a team of interested individuals to create an Asia-Pacific War mod & content pack.
For now, I'm just feeling out potential interest in such a project... as well as fishing for ideas.

Looking back at the '2022 update' thread, unless I missed something all questions about progress with Engine 5 went unanswered.  I take that to mean either not much was/is planned for Engine 5 this year, or BFC wish to surprise us with an unexpected release.
Take your pick but I'm not sure we can guess at a date.

Yes, also for future releases on Steam. If you buy from Battlefront they don't lose a part of the profit to Steam, so support them and buy here.

I am ashamed of my government. 

It's amazing that you openly admit that plans. And that western public "buy" it. "Pushing out of that Russian replacers"!

I was discussing the terms of Russian military service with a veteran of the Chechen war. He told me that the first compulsory service is the lowest level of experience. If one wishes to remain in service after the compulsory service and become a Noncommissioned Officer, they sign a “contract.” It”s basically the same as re-enlisting in the US military, except they are then referred to as “Contractors.”

In Kiev, armed men shot at a car with unarmed people, saying that "there were saboteurs in it." I think a regular military man should be assigned to self-defense units in order to prevent such cases.

I hope you don't get in trouble for posting that stuff, Husker.  I don't want any soldiers dying in this.  This is murder not just of Ukranians but also of Russian soldiers just doing what they are duty-bound to do.  There's only one Russian I want to see suffer, and that's the one that doesn't seem to understand that men his age should wear a shirt outdoors, especially when riding a horse.  Dude has some serious body image delusions.  Amongst his now more dangerous delusions.

I do not either, even though I have friends in Ukraine right now in a city being shelled and I don't even know if they are safe.  If some express the sentiment that this war must be made costly for Russia, it may be that they assume only dead sons being sent home will get through the wall of propaganda that supports the war in Russia. But Russians are going out into the street at significant risk to themselves to show that this may not be the case.  Hopefully the political costs will rise too high before the blood cost does for both Russians and Ukrainians.
