Only 20% think Russia may win though. Most people seems to think the war ends by negotiations, or perhaps goes over to a lowintensity conflict with no end in sight like 2014-2022

If the DLC would be about killing Ukrainians, I would understand. But if the campaign is about killing Russian VDV, release it!

Are you sure that it would penetrate the front of a T-64B? The T-72A has a LOS thicknes of 550mm, the B even more. And that is of compositarmor, not RHA. Not that the old Soviet composite was very good, like later western compositearmor, but anyway.

Whats funny, is that its probably their own mines they got decimated by

Me to, but the first time I saw them. The the girls had AK 74´s, and a year later they had AK-47´s. But now?? Going with PPSh-41 or whatever thy found in the dump Next time they probably dance with Mosin-nagant. You know Its bad when the army search for guns (for them selfs) at the local stripclub

I think Pantsir aka SA-22 Greyhound what was @Artkin meant?

She did get their most modern available weapon tho! Which means that someone else, got some older things to work with

Could be so? But I still don´t bellive so. There is quite a margin at distance to the right. There is a very flat trajectory on the missile/rocket/shell. The trace of the shell that the prime tank fires the second before impact, looks the same. That one detonates at the same time itself got the hit. I still belive its a blue on blue, but with a happy ending (Nooo, not the happy one you nasty boys thinking of )

If you take a ruler, and line it to the Heat jet-line. There is no out of sight in the clip. Pause the clip at 1:34, and look picture by picture. By 1:35 the hit occours. Freez there and take a ruler, you have free terrain to a very far distance. https://twitter.com/GirkinGirkin/status/1695494020015726875?s=20 Edit: its only on the picture in akd´s post, you don´t see long enough to the top right.

Nope, dont think so. If you draw a straight line forward, along the line of the blast. There is nothing there. No smoke, no blast, nothing that it could been fired from. I´v looked in slowmotion (picture by picture) like 30 times now. It is nothing in the line there. But if you find something, point it out. And I stand corrected.

Even more crazy is, that it looks like the missile came from behind. Detonated at the tank, in the front right side. And the HEAT-jet continued into the wall in front of the road. Probably becaouse the tank is reversing, suddenly stops and starting to go forward again. And by that time, the missile was already launched?

Kadyrovs goat loving Tik Tok battalion, what could they have done to stop the Vodka marsch to Moscow? They only put out TikTok videos where they shoot at traffic lights. And videos, where they pretend to be in combat situations, but are not! They are not the Chechen 110% fighters who opposed the Russians in the Chechen wars. Kadyrovs goatlovers, are Russian army. Nothing else! Exept they dont go to combat, they just talk the talk on Tik Tok, and love goats.

But with 13-46 inch plate, you are only talking about the frontarmour. Artillery don´t care if the wehicle is turned in the direction they are firing from. Most arty kills I´v seen from the war, is from the side. And mostly on BMP/BTR´s. But according to Ukraine soldiers, they lose most of their tanks to artillery to (Now, maybe mines to). And there are lots of weakspots on tanks in the side/back. Particularly on the T-xx tanks. Take this photo of the side front of an T-72B3 Very thin side armor there. And you se the composite front plate armor inside, and that we know the thicknes of. 80 mm on the upper part of the sidearmour of the T-72 hull side. But only 20 mm on the lower part of the side. Thats not even an inch! And thats where the carousel mag is!

I think the T-64BV i the same, since IRL it use a two-stroke diesel engine. And sounds like a motor bicycle (moped)

The war in Ukraina has showed a suprisingly high effectivnes, of artillery against Tanks, IFV´s, and other armored vehicles. Ukraine said erlier, that most of their tanklosses came from artillery. And Russia is very thin on guided shells. And we have seen 100´s of twitter/youtubeclips of artilleryshells detonating close <50ft to AFV´s destroying them. And now even several upparmored M2A2 ODS-SA Bradlys, and a Leo 2A6. Getting missionkilled by artillery, possibly a few total kills. And more to come with probably M-kills/K-kills by arty, of upparmored CV 90´s, Marders, Challenger 2´s, Strv 122´s. And later on of M1A1´s. I know BF cant change this in existing games, since every campaign. And every scenario have to be redone, to reflect this. What your thoughts? I didn´t want to spam the bigone with this, but a separate thread.

Now when its clear that the Ukrainian counteroffensive is underway. Even if Oryx has not uppdated. This was Top Secret, and nobody new about this! The Swedish millitary said on thursday (All media in Sweden Cited), that Sweden has educated 4 mechanized Companies in Sweden on CV 9040C (The best Swedish version with heavy MEXAS addon armour, and all of them are going to Ukraine) only used in Afghanistan earlier!. Around 400 Ukrainian soldiers, and that they now are in a secret place in Ukraine, to participate in the counteroffensive. The 40 mm on the CV 9040C has the 3P round, which is a gamechanger in some aspects. In english Probably training on Strv 122 (Leopard 2A5+) took place in the same time. The millitary say, they educated Ukrainians on every vehicle that was sent to Ukraine. So possible even Archer 155 mm Artillery with its 37,3 mile range (60km) and very fast shoot and scoot, and up to 6 rounds MRSI. Sweden sent 8 Archers to Ukraine, and several to UK. To let UK send more AS 90 Braveharts to Ukraine. Uk wanted some Archers, so they was not to thin on artillery!

****, Russians have a new ATGM that can reach all the way to USA. Abrams are not planned to arrive until autumn

This is very funny. I dont think the Russians are out of Vodka yet https://twitter.com/NOELreports/status/1665644579754848257?s=20

I think UA will probe over a large area of the front, with older equipment. When they find a weakspot. Then they quickly will use that weakspot, and send in major formations of western equipment for a breaktrough. Followed by others to secure the flanks. They probably only try to break the Russian lines in a few places, so they will have enough troops on these places to overwhelm the Russians. And both encircle the Russian front units, and go deep at the same time to destroy logistics, and artillery etc, etc

I think its an NLAW, or BILL toppattack missile. Detonating above, sending its HEAT blast downwads.

For CM, the GPU is ok. When playing a huge scenario, with 150+ Tanks and AFV´s. My RTX 4070 only used 50w, and 1,3GB of memory. The fans didnt even start to cool it, they where on zero (according to Afterburner) One core on my i7 9900k was on full alert, the other 7 cores, mostly idleing (afterburner again).

It says the PC is renewed, and refurbished. The only Core i7 cpu I could find, with 4 cores 3,4 Ghz Base, 3,8 Ghz turbo clock. Is the 11 year old Ivy Bridge 3770. So maybe the 11 year old cpu, is the reason for the cheep price? Do you really want an 11 year old cpu? CM only use like one core, and it like high clockspeeds. So even If you by a used one, like this. Try to find one with higher singlecore Turbo. Like a core i7 6700k, or 7700k, or even better 8700k or 9900k.

Sad that they wont arrive earlier, but its understandable. Is there any country in the world right now, with more different models of Artillery, Tanks, and AFV´s in their arsenal, than Ukraine? Even smallarms.
