Yeah, I smile every time I type that one.

Glad you cleared that up, I was worried that they might be contagious! 

The Archers MRSI capability is in the wiki link I provided. Upp to 6 rounds (Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact) compared to the 5 round MRSI for the PH 2000
 
And the fastfiring gun you name, is bandkanon 1. Could fire the entire magazine of 14 155mm shells, in 45 seconds. 
 
 

Since I know, you are a fan of later T-80 models. And @The_Capt also have to prepare for the next module 😉. Here are the Swedish terrain trials with the 1250hp gastubine T-80U vs the Strv 104 (Centurion with an aircooled V12 Continental Diesel 750hp)
Part 1 from autumn 1993
Part 2 from winter 1994
 

T-80U equipped with Agava sights. And interestingly equipped with ARENA aps. Was offered by the Russians.
The ability to fight in the dark, proved insufficient to the requirements for tanks in the mechanized brigades. This applied to both active IR, and the tested IRV camera.
 

I was in active service at the time, in one of the mechanized brigades. Which would had been one of the users of the T-80U With thermals. Belive me, they had thermals. There was no interest what so ever, to buy a tank whitout it in the mid 90's

The Swedish trials was 1: For our Armored Brigades M1A2, Leclerc, and Leopard 2 Improved
                               And 2: For our Mechanized Brigades Used M1A1, Used Leopard 2A4, and new T-80U With Thermals 
The T-80U Was only compared to M1A1, and Leopard 2A4. Which both sported lower grade thermals, than their latest versions. Unfortunatly before the firingtests could Begin. The goverment had decided to buy Leo 2i, and used Leo 2A4. And the T-80U had to be returned to Russia immediately.

Thisone  is even better 😄
 

After clicking "look at Youtube". And reading all the comments. It seems the launch is no doubt from a Bill. But the rest is from a Milan missile demonstration in the late 70´s. Bill is topattack, like TOW 2B. Not Javelin like. And this one seems to hit the target straight on, on the higher end of the turret. So could be true. Any old Milan operators here, who knows?
 
Never trust what you see on the internet 
 
But this is a real Bill-2 Demonstration, I think??? 😁 
 
 
 

Wooow! I want that implemented for CM!

An interesting post about 115mm (T-62) penetration and damage to Iranian Chieftain tanks.  Appears to be mostly from Iranian sources.  There is some info from British post battle investigations of Chieftain performance.   If you look through other posts in that thread there are a few other points of info.  Note the comment about damage to gunner sights.  Thats been the topic of more than a few CM discussions.
Might give some perspective on T-62 performance in CMCW.

I first posted this, from this forum several years ago. At the time I´t was in an unfinished state!
But now, with CMCW. I think its time to go back there! Very informative, but with humor 😃
A short intro, of each family of tank ( Dont forget to "reveal hidden contents") And then do the same as you scroll down. Very funny, and very informative!

"True socialists of the Ural understood a main problem with optical rangefinder - a worker and soldier of Fatherland had to match 2 images of capitalist in his sight in order to find a range to him. Not only you should have looked at decadent westerner for prolonged period of time during combat, but you were looking at 2 images of him! It is 2 times more decadency per capitalist that free komsomolets should have witness during combat and what is allowed by Party and Narkom of Health!
   In order to decrease hazardous and health problems of seeing 100% more concentrated capitalism per capitalist, Soviet engineers created a ray emitter that could measure distance to enemies by shooting red communism laser to their fat bodies and tell exact range to increase accuracy of firing main gun! This deivce was installed to gunner sight, which mean that second optical device was not needed, and it was removed, leaving only hard Ural steel"

Great documentary of the 93rd mech brigade in 2 parts (3rd is comming). And the battles it was engaged in. 2014-2016 it lost 138 KIA, and over 1000 WIA. English voice, and subs

A "Balanced Battalion (task force)" Is 34909p In a defencive battle on a huge map in 1982. And that is with M60 tanks, not M1´s. I don´t think 22,500 is enough!

I was in the Swedish military from the first half of the 90´s, to the beginning of the 20´s century. And when the Berlin wall fell. We got 5 T-72M1´s from Germany, allmost for free. To test amunition on, and to test the East German amunition, and to share the results to Germany (and other NATO contries). 
The T-72 M1 fired the BM22 and the arrows went straight through the S-Tank. When the S-Tank fired at the T-72 M1, it could not penetrate other than on weakspots! And remember, Sweden as a neutral country. Always bought the best (non DU ammo), if we could not developed it ourselfes (For political reasons, we could not buy DU ammo, nor develpe it ourselfs). And the S-Tank, had a longer barrel than any other 105mm L7 tanks out there at the time. So it compensated with higher muzzle velocity, for not using DU rounds (<10% higer penetration for DU rounds, and much more pyrophoric effects after penetration. Values are for 120mm rounds though). 
The same after we bought the Strv 122 for our armoured brigades, and rented 160 Strv 121 (Leopard 2 A4) for our mechanized brigades from Germany in 1994-95. We wanted the best non DU ammo, and it was not in Germany at the time. So we bought Israeli APFSDS ammunition after comprehensive testing. 
So I think that CM:CW is quite spot on, from my own experience!

LOL offcourse it was that pin. I´m so stupid lol. Big thanks 😄. The other issue was in winrar, to extract the files. But it is solved.
I´m up and running 😄 Both F&R, and Cold War!
And I never had to start my first ticket ever 😀

No, you’re not stupid! Windows 10 is the most intrusive “I’m going to do this because I know better than you do” software systems I have ever seen. I’m really glad I was able to help. It feels good!
