tac AI is much better but leave something to be desired in many situation. real-time sometimes let you correct the limited AI.

The McTank (or McPanzer)

Spetznaz srikes on barracks or assembly points ? Iskander strike on barracks... hit and run air attacks against reinforcements flown from the states to their pre-deloyed equipment storage facilities ? "I need some tanks on the front !" "but sir, the crews are delayed..." "Screw it !" "I need them now !" "The russians are counterattacking in force ! We are in danger of encirclement ! This should not happen damnit ! Ask MP companies, staff, logistics.... f... anyone! if any of them trained in armor and get some of these rolling !" But then again, I think the current scope of the conflict is unrealistic. EIther its World War three or there is no direct military confrontation at all... They needed a resonably realistic looking scenario for the game and that's it. The Russians would not limit the conflict to Ukraine, especially if Crimea is attacked. Thats why its unlikely. The same went for Red storm RIsing.

the T-90 or even T-72 is a far cry from being as hopeless as a T-34/76 against the panther or Tiger.. Tigers and Panthers didnt fight piece-meal but in companies and bigger formations. But In CM red thunder, you never see such a huge number of tigers or panthers facing T-34/76s (A better comparison would be T-34/85 against a panther or tiger.) Same should go for CMBS. Equal fights are possible in very restrictive terrain but as the game interprets reality right now, avoid numerically equal fights in open terrain with long LOS if you're playing the Russians. You could say that a Smerch or Iskander strike with DICPM disabled (not necessarily destroy) half the Abrams before the fight (as the russians would try to do in RL).

I got two M1A2 in one game with the 152mm guided rounds.. Both on fire. One hit the engine conpartment (full penetration) and the orher the top turret (partial).

T-72 I can understand but the non -M version of the BMP-2 ?

I guess if the T-90A was dancing in front of it yeah. But any side or rear attack would leave it helpless.

How did it spot the T-90A before being spotted itself? . The optics are all messed up. Unbuttoned and used the emergency aiming optic slaved to the gun ?

T-90AM for me too then the Oplot and the Bradley (BMP_2M and BMP-3M will be among them when the commander/gunner communication issue is solved and the 30mm on the BMP-2M will have the same APFDS ammo as the BMP-3M)

That tank is easy meat for anything now

The communication bug between the squad leader acting as commander using the fancy optics and the gunner may affect the results somewhat, wait for patch 1.02 and the Russians may get more lethal especially human to human

I did some test , 6 on all .. Bmp-3m with aréna and HQ unit acting as commander. 480 meters, 4-2 for the Bradley in 6 tests. Used 30mm all the time.

Chris sais that on thé next patch, the BMP-2M will use the same ammo as BMP-3M for the 30mm

Is the demo really featuring v1.02 bug fixes and improvements ?

Buy lots of .50 in PBEM games lol

Se want it in game hell yeah .. Even more carnage than now lol

The new sabot for this gun is 900mm long.. Thé gun itself generates 17% more energy than L55 from Rheinmetall .. I sense guaranteed frontal kills at 2000 meters on any western tank ... Also its good for 500-600 shots so no more live fire training limitations

Horses !!! finally !!!

There should be 1.03 already !!!

Talking of spacing ... Those side turret ERA tiles on the Abrams.. .. Anyone got any penetrations with tandem warhead AT-13 on them ? They are single ERA so the AT-13 should defeat it but I dont know about the spacing effect. With RPG too, i dont know if the spacing can defeat them. They alway hit the damn side Hull with double ERA with the At-13 and its stopped.

it doesnt get more american than this: MUUUURRRIIICAAAAA!

I had an AT-4 hit those side plates (single warhead, no tandem) and it gave me a reactive armor hit. Tandem warheads will go through them easily.
