I saw those videos a while ago and have to agree it is rather limited attempt to compare those vehicles and feel more like a sales pitch. Brave never the less and it is hard to disagree that Russian designs are cost effective and well thought out. I am not sure how real is the story behind the Bradley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA) but I know that many people in democratic governments like to put their hands on some public ("no-ones") money and resources are misplaced. Maybe if you are rich you can afford to give your troops few different IFV that can fill different gaps, but if you are poor you might be better off with one that does it all.

I was reluctant to get this game because of the steep price, but after playing all possibles demos I decided to get CM:BS and I do not regret it at all. Honestly with amount of time I have already sunk in I am looking at something like less than 0.50 $ for a hour of entertainment, good deal if you ask me. I have played tons of RTS, started as early as Duna2 and I can find no other with this level of engaging gameplay. The infantry warfare is much more complex than anything else I ever saw in other games; limited field of vision, every soldier aims independently, there is no automatic "fog-of-war" removal - units only see what they can see and use radios to communicate enemy positions, soldiers carry and use equipment individually, morale ~like in total war ... With such attention to details every casualty feels a bit dramatic and much more personal. You really do everything to get all men back home and losing half of your force does not feel like a victory at all, even if enemy is all dead. I started to play with a friend and we have a blast setting up scenarios like check point raid or AA hunt. With relatively small forces platoon to company on big maps. With that skin changing mode and some limitations on what vehicles you pick, you can really feel the rebel vibe. I love it. I love when my friend whines that my tank is upgraded version and I call it western anti-Russian propaganda

I watched today's southfront and I had exactly same motion. I wanted to come to the forum and ask about getting VDV in to the game, even as something small, no maps just units expansions. I am guessing there were some news about actual expansion coming out, great. Also I would love to get some of the other NATO members in. And since decomposition of the front line combat becomes more hit and run, small group operations, I would love to get VDV fallowed by special operation groups from NATO states. And, not to be demanding but, a new artillery type - MLRS - would be awesome too.
