  1. She is beautiful and fit. Handled an hour run in the sunny and humid weather today. It won't stop raining! Also we had worked out together before we left. Previously in the year she was squatting 200lbs. At my place, with my extremely ghetto setup, we managed ~170 before having to drop down in weight. When we get back we will see how strong her arms are. Hahaha. No creepshots sorry guys! Maybe I'll snag one of us together and post it... but no rushing it!
  2. Firstly, let me apologize for the delay. We have been on a camping trip and the wifi sucks to say the least. She says yes to the first two, the vehicle is quick and handles well. It was designed around the rough weather. She doesn't want to move up right now. However she is qualified to gun since every crewman is trained for the same system. The commander is off limits for now, as she must be a NCO. Currently she is a private (They share American ranks).
  3. Even she thinks it's disgusting fishy nonsense. On her base she is allowed to buy whatever food she pleases.
  4. Swedish do still use the 40mm found in the first video. I'd imagine the 40mm has better penetration.
  5. She is unsure about the side skirts and their protection from HEAT rounds. However, the side skirts are designed in three parts. The top most slab of armor is designed to withstand non-continuous 30mm fire. The part under that is designed for lesser small arms (Assumed 14.5) And the bottom most part of the skirt is used for thermal protection. Thermal cloaks are standard issue for the vehicles. They are primarily used in the winter however. In the other months, tree branches are used to cover the vehicles.
  6. She says the versions in the video thumbnails are actually old versions of the CV. The ones in her squadron are the cv9030 2016's with the gigantic crows system on the top. Her squadron composition is two mechanized companies, one armored, one support, and one recon. For now she had told me that in a situation where the infantry are under fire the leopard 2a4's would push up to assist them. After her recon company sends reports of low amounts or lack of of anti tank weapons is she instructed to go on the offense. She says the vehicle will remain in defilade while the crows system engages. So it is quite possible we use ifv's quite aggressively in CMBS. The 30mm is stabilized and has no trouble at all taking on targets on the move. The AP rounds are powerful enough to engage the turret of a tank. I assume this is to destroy any sighting systems etc. The weapon system itself tracks moving targets just like the Abrams. She had participated in the Norwegian US/NR training events between the USMC and then the Army. As far as acquisition, everyone in the vehicle is given thermals.
  7. She says the vehicle is primarily infantry support and transport. A majority of the time the inf will be loaded in the vehicle, and the platoon will dismount in combat. They have two javelins per platoon. The armament is the 30mm and a 7.62 coax. A CROWS javelin is an option for their vehicles but she does not have it. Wishes she did !
  8. I have the liberty of staying with a Norwegian CV90 driver for two weeks. Does anyone have any questions I haven't asked already for her? She loves being pestered!
  9. Getting free stuff always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Unfortunately everything with a brand name is super expensive.
  10. Holy crap that's a lot of models! What kind of free gifts do they send you!? I started my first - a challenger 1 a couple of days ago actually. Hoping for an airbrush soon. Right now I only have paint brushes upload high quality photos
  11. "APS is the latest twist in the age-old battle between offence and defence in military technology." Terrible editing!
  12. I don't think incorporating ERA into the tank like that is a good idea, but I sure am no expert!
  13. I think you boys ought to diversify
  14. I've never seen people act like children on this website outside of the Black Sea discussion.
  15. Where did you get the map? I never got one
  16. Welcome! I do suggest getting the other modules asap, as they have plenty of content, and I'm sure you'll be hooked soon!
  17. As far as I know, nobody knows a thing about current weapons from that time period on. Armor is classified and penetration values are classified.
  18. You guys have practically written the storyline already for BF!
  19. Who said the tank had to be under fire? It could be behind friendly lines. Most often I lose my afv's far behind the battlefield. Sometimes even just past the start zone.
  20. I've seen tanks being towed by tanks out of thick mud. I believe it was a russian T90
  21. Being able to tow an immobilized vehicle is a necessity in this game given how often vehicles get stuck. Also bridge layers would add immense strategic value to games.
