Krasnoarmeyets got a reaction from Vanir Ausf B in T-90 tank documentary (2014 in Russian)
I think it is still relevant even for CMBS-type conflict overall force ratios. Even without any mobilization Russian Ground Force fields more than 2000 MBTs (248 * 1 TkDiv + 82 * 1 MRDiv + 124 * 3 TkBde + 41 * 34 MRBde). With rapid (1-2 months, i.e. can probably be done within the escalation period prior to conflict) limited mobilization of pre-deployed reserve units this can be increased by an additional ~700 MBTs (124 * 1 TkBde + 41 * 14 MRBde). Then additional units can be mobilized as necessary from long-term storage at central vehicle reserve bases to replace the frontline losses and reinforce areas of the border where regular units have been withdrawn (the total number of MBTs in storage is about 11000; even if only half of that is operational, that is still enough to equip over 130 MRBde-sized units (though they will be progressively worse equipped - after ~40-50 brigades supporting equipment will start running out in this order: first sophisticated ADS (i.e. better than MANPADS, though since Air Force would still have hundreds more long range SAM systems to provide overall coverage that is not such an issue), then self-propelled artillery (the towed systems would last quite a while), then MLRS, then SP ATGM systems, then APCs, then lastly IFVs (I guess the infantry will have to remember their grandfathers' tank riding experience - by this point the ERA-equipped tanks will probably run out too )). Okay, that last point is probably more relevant for a global type of conflict, but it serves to illustrate that there is a significant reinforcement capability, and some limited mobilization would probably take place even in a regional CMBS-type conflict (especially with such an opponent - who warrants its use more than NATO?).
Overall, given these factors and that Ukrainian theater is much closer to Russia than to North America both operationally and logistically (an interesting question in its own right, but generally it seems much easier to bring reinforcements by rail even from Siberia than to ship them over Atlantic), I would expect Russian forces to be easily able to maintain at least a 3-4 to 1 numerical superiority ratios over US forces, and depending on the number of prepositioned US units at the beginning of the conflict, maybe up to 10+ to 1. Which would translate into a tactical ability to engage any US unit with a larger level unit, or maybe even two of them (meaning 1-2 battalions per company, 1-2 brigades per battalion, etc.). Of course, US would probably be able to utilize its greater situational awareness to achieve temporary tactical numerical parity or even some superiority in particular sections of the battlefield, but operationally I would expect these ratios to hold throughout the campaign.
One factor that remains to be considered is what use the more rapidly deployable SBCTs and IBCTs would be (in this type of conflict with mostly linear combined arms engagements) compared to ABCTs and Russian units. They can probably be used defensively if equipped with enough Javelins, and can conduct some screening and reconnaissance, but they are obviously not a powerful offensive tool that a mechanized unit is. If a successful "Javelin-countering" factor is introduced (like IR camouflage or all-aspect APS) I would be tempted to discount them almost completely for not significantly contributing to the overall operational picture. Similarly for the USMC MEUs/MEFs that seem very light on heavy armor (no pun intended ). For the same reasons, I am not counting Russian airborne, air assault and naval infantry units (airborne and marines are mechanized, but not as heavily as one would wish for). Or am I missing something here?
Yes, this is how I counted: 3 CABns * (1 CO MBT + 2 tcoys * 14 MBTs) = 87 * 13 ABCTs = 1131 MBTs (and rounded it up just in case).
Feel inclined to share them with the rest of the forum sometime?

Krasnoarmeyets reacted to BigDog944 in John Kettler's Omnibus Thread
The reason for this thread is that John's good intentions, prolific reading and general enthusiasm for BFC games has drawn criticism from other forum members who don't share John's degree of wonderment with the world at large.
My opinion is that John should just say something like "Suck it up, princess" in response to the other posters' criticisms, but the apparent level of catharsis it brings him from 'brain dumping' in this forum keeps him wary of being banned or something, and thus on his back foot, and leads him to put too great of a weighting to others' negative opinions.
In summary, keep posting, John! Either in this thread or in the forum at large. Whatever works.

Krasnoarmeyets got a reaction from Nefron in Where's the T-80?
Do not give up on the flying tank just yet.
Yes, a few years ago it seemed that Defense Ministry under Serdyukov has finally gotten the upper hand over General Staff and Chief Auto-Armored Forces Directorate in its long struggle to kill T-80 in the name of standardization and fuel economy. All T-80s were slated to be put in reserve by 2015. However, the dwarves dug too greedily the replacement process was organized too hastily, and several units had T-80BVs replaced not with T-72B3s, but with regular old T-72Bs - a noticeable downgrade in terms of fire accuracy, mobility and serviceability. This resulted in a wave of formal and informal complaints from the troops. When Serdyukov was replaced by Shoigu, who is much more restrained and catious in his approaches, and who seemingly holds more respect for the soldiers' opinion, the process of T-80 replacement seemed to slow down or be halted altogether.
One indication is a recent interview with the deputy commander of the 4th guards Kantemirovskaya tank division, where he indicates that they are actively rearming with "T-80E" (likely a misspelling of T-80U-E1: surplus T-80UD turret gets a modified FCS with 2nd gen. "Plisa" gunner TI sight and is dropped into T-80BV hull with a modernized glacis (improved composite filaments structure + "Kontakt-5") and modified GTD-1250 gas turbine engine (turbochargeable to 1400-1500 hp)). Also, it seems (could not find official confirmations, but some people connected with tank repair plants were confirming it on several military forums) that 600 T-80BVs of the Eastern military district are slated for technical status repair (i.e. anything not functioning up to specifications will be repaired, but no complete overhaul) and minor modernization (so far the digital communications suite and improved engine were mentioned) - apparently this modification is called T-80BA.
My guess from all this is that MOD ultimately decided not to rush things, and replace T-80BV/BA only with superior performance T-72B3. As the T-72B service fleet upgrade is about halfway through, it should take about 2-3 years for production capacity for T-80 replacement to be available. As for the more advanced T-80U-E1 and T-80UA (T-80U with improved FCS with 2 gen. gunner TI sight (likely also "Plisa") and other upgrades), which are similar or superior to T-72B3, perhaps they would be left in service all the way until replacement by "Armata"-based vehicle.
The winds can change again, though, so we shall see. This and next year's exercises should prove quite informative.

Kieme CMBS T-72B3
This mod starts with BTR 's research and conversion of russian vehicles into a realistic green color, so all credits shall go to him as the author of the original texture, which is in my opinion a great digital version of the original modern russian green, therefore special thanks to him and his work.
the original thread is found here:
http://community.battlefront.com/topic/117857-testing/
I have desaturated and slightly brightened the green color and added layers of dust, dirt, rainmarks, scratches, details etc. and enhanced the normal maps a bit.

Krasnoarmeyets reacted to Kieme(ITA) in Kieme's modding corner
Thanks for the feed-back.
After reviewing the tank today I have decided to make another version with a darker tone, it's not a big deal because it can be done in no time.
I stick with the desaturation because, in any case, darkening saturates the color already. Looking at it should be the original BTR's green.
T-72B3 - darker green color optional
This option changes the colors of the original T-72B3 mod into a darker tone.

I decided to try the most famous russian 3-tone camo. Mixed feelings about it, it's quite hard to get the right sand color and this is only an attempt; besides, the game textures are not really camo friendly, you can't get exactly what you want, some compromise is necessary... Speaking of compromises, the side skirts should be Painted as well, I left them in black rubber because my techniques do not allow me to get the same sand/green colors on them, so note this as a necessary compromise.
IMPORTANT
there are TWO versions of this mod. You must choose only ONE of them to install. They cannot work toghether. Therefore, please make your choice: plain dark green or 3 tone camo. The weathering is the same for both.

Krasnoarmeyets reacted to Blimey in Separatist mod
Cpl S - here's the separatists to be used in the UKR digital slot in the editor for your Blue on Blue scenarios.
Others - TBA - if used independently, this mod will replace the digital camo textures for UKR forces where these have been chosen by the scenario designer. There is also some overlap with the standard UKR textures - namely faces, boots and chin straps are shared. The chin strap has been made transparent in this mod as it uses bare headed figures. Best not use this mod with others that that mod UKR faces or the UKR digital camo as you will lose the full effect. Mods for the standard UKR camo uniform shouldn't affect this mod, unless they include faces.

Okay. After some experimentation, renaming and juggling of the shared textures to get the right balance.
Separatists can slot into the UKR digital uniform slot (in the editor).
Conventional forces can then fill the UKR standard uniform slot (in the editor).
Also via the editor you can add in Russian forces to fight alongside the 'red' Ukrainian force.
You start with a Blue on Blue force pool. Buy your two forces. 1 UKR standard (Blue) 1 UKR Digital (the 2nd Blue force which will be considered the Red force in battle). Deploy. Then change the battle option in the editor to Blue on Red. Pick your Russians. Deploy. They show up alongside your Red UKR force.
Sounds files - you can unpack and mix those up in a mod yourself, although if you have Russians fighting closely alongside the 'red' UKR force I expect you'll get a mix of voices anyway.
Separatist - more diverse appearance. More bare heads.
Standard UKR - More uniform appearance. Fewer bare heads.
Russians and 'red' UKR forces deployed together

Krasnoarmeyets reacted to BTR in Testing
Independent formations get their own tactical symbols. By the book, independent formations are the ones which are counted as separate military bases and have reinforced structures. Brigade formations are all reinforced and therefore independent. Following soviet tradition, battalions within a brigade get variations on brigade tactical symbol with their order number. Tactical groups pre-formed outside battle sometimes also receive tactical markings separate from their original parent formations. Conversely, all formations which don’t count as independent, don’t have variations. How does that translate to what I can do in-game? First part is simple, give similar quality of equipment similar tactical markings: T-90AM+BMP-3M+BMP-2M (fantasy force) (A ) T-90A+BMP-3+BTR-82 (B ) T-72B3+BMP-2+BTR-80 (C ) A much more interesting question is what to do with common vehicles used in all formations? My answer to this is to arrange them aligned to previous equipment ratings. Therefore: BRM-3K+BRDM-2M (fantasy force once more) (A ) TIRG (B ) BRM-1K + BRDM-2M (C ) But that doesn’t end there, what to do with all the specialized support? This was more clear to me than previous part. Arrange them by their use inside specialised formations. Most independent supporting elements would have entirely different makings from line elements anyways. 1V152+9K22M1+9K35 (AA support) (D ) PRP-4M+9P157-2+9P149+9P148+9P148M (E ) 1V14 (F ) So, what is left? You’ve noticed I’ve left out MT-LB’s. First of all, MT-LBM is present in almost all organisational charts, so it’s best I leave it unmakred. MT-LB’s are in a bit of special place at the moment, and usually entirely separate, sometimes specialised, formations use them. Therefore, all MT-LB’s with weapons will receive their own symbol. MT-LBM 6MA + MT-LBM 6MB (G ) Ural and UAZ, just like MT-LBM’s, are too common to be placed in one category over another, therefore they will have no markings. All in all, 16 different makings broken into 7 independent common groups should do well for realistic scenario making. Now, I'm a little uneasy about using actual unit tactical symbols, so I'll probably "make up" my own. If that is such a deal-breaker, let me know. Obviously, if BF introduce a dynamic decal script of some sort, all of this would be much easier . -
