Does it apply to precision ammo for the russian / ukrainian side where you have to lase for the strike ?

Lots of older local Donbass fighters served in the soviet army and have some experience in operating and servicing these pretty old tanks. Remember that Ukraine was where the second echelon of Soviet forces was located and that the country inherited all these units at independence. I'm willing to bet they didnt know where all the storage sites were since Soviet doctrine preferred secrecy and hiding instead of a protected perimeter to ensure security. Since central command was in Moscow, they could have very well provided the locations of such depots to the Donbass republics.

Constellation is the data sharing network. GLONASS is the Russian version of the GPS

Use mortars on the AT guns, Always.

the kryzanthemas are very difficult to spot at longer than 3000 meters range in the game according to Scott, which is how they should be employed... 1km for these things is point blank and since the game doesnt accurately model them, doubly so ! The map is small for employing such assets effectively and I agree that on a small to medium map, they should be replaced by un-mounted Kornets.

Oplot is a modified T-80 ?

I'm playing it .. Spent 4 hours on thé first line and using mortars and su-76 fire on the second line at the same time.. Losses are at around 20-30% and i,ve destroyed most of the first and parts of the second so I guess i'm not doing bad then. Fire superiority is the key.

Congress should grab a rifle and go fight then

How many casualties did the US took in that mission Chris ? Your force was decimated .. More than 60% ? That US shell killing an entire US squad wont make it to CNN Chris .. Not in that setting.. Got lost among the hundreds of other casualties and CNN is probably talking about some US airbase or supply base getting hammered by Iskander strikes or cruise missiles or a US ship getting torpedoed somewhere. World war three man hehe Kind of a "ohh my god what did we get ourselves into ?? " news environment.

How did you guys at battlefront estimate the M829A4's performance since its not in service yet ? Maybe akd is right, decreased overall performance but less loss of effectiveness against relikt

My experience is that The AI can kick your a$$ in defense. Much less so on the attack. But thats normal since attacking is more difficult even for human players.

There is a disturbing depiction of the effects of WP in the Movie Fury.

Certainly individual components of the data system and even entire subsystems can be jammed/hacked/destroyed, but the entire data sharing system? Unlikely. Degraded maybe.Maybe you are right. Thus you must not agree with the design team's decision to switch it off completely with the Heavy jamming setting in the scenario parameters ?

think not? Better think again. Those tanks aren't built from legos. They need components, the plants need components, the workers need to eat. Building a strong military requires absolutely a strong economy. The Allies beat Germany partly by the fact that they had economies that could adjust and far out produce the Reich. The Soviet Union collapsed under the weight of a poor economic model and an expensive military. Russia's economy is more on par with Italy versus Germany and forget considering the US. This is a game Russia has no hope of winning, to even attempt it ignores what is in the best interests of the Russian people. They need a solid diversified economy that is growing as part of the world community, not a petro dollar dictatorship trying to play world power. It will fail and collapse like every other country that has followed this path. Unfortunately for Russians, they will have to start all over again from where they were 25 years ago. Russia has lost a generation repeating the mistakes of an empire that will never come again.I was going to post a response to this but this would be off-topic. Let's go back to the topic at hand. The game

and has so much data capacity that it is very hard to significantly degrade by either jamming or destroying a particular asset or assetsAccording to many reports, two high end US UAV were brought down (hijacked) in Iran and Crimea (from a recon unit based in Bavaria) by having their datalinks compromised so I wouldnt be so sure about the jamming resistance of data sharing systems on either sides. Russia has one too called constellation (not as powerful) actually and its in the game. I guess you are military and I dont question your knowledge of the system actually.

The one thing that has been unaffected in Russia's budget during this wildly exagerrated but still serious economic downturn is the défense budget (especially the procurement funds). Their finance minister was shown the door for even suggesting cuts to it.

There a lot more different factors than tank against tank in play at war. If that was the case, Germany woukd have won WWII, and remember that a lot of germany's superior tanks were not lost in combat but because of mechanical failures and logistic failures. The M1A2 is indeed a gas guzzling monster for that matter and efficient logistics in a war against Russia is not a done deal.
-
T-90A and T-72B3 have no commander panoramic sight. T-90AM does so it gives a good spotting advantage to the T-90AM and no disadvantage against m1A2sepv2. Personnaly, i wish we never find out if one side is right or wrong. That would mean guys like Vadim and Scott would be in harm's way and nobody in his right mind would want that.

At the LOS commonly found on an european battlefield (determined to be 1 to 2 km) the US thermal advantage in definition in vehicule systems wont be such a concern for the russians, only in very specific conditions not commonly found. In the middle east, that's another matter. But those thermal/ light intensifier hybrid googles for infantry could be a problem at night. A guy at 300 meters on this system would be obvious and would glow , on classic night vision, not so much. Correct me if i'm wrong

SPG-9 are bradley (without ERA) killers on CMSF

there's nothing harmless about something that can fire a few kilograms of High explosives or a solid shot of tungsten or steel composite at supersonic speeds at you.

that changes everythying. IR smoke is useful in dealing with javelins .. and ERA wont do crap against them. But increased survability against light cannons.hmmm
A couple questions about laser warning receivers

On the coyote (25 mm bushmaster) it was manual.. You lased. Ballistic computer adjust the gun and you press the trigger ..
