Te construction of a hatch which could open under water pressure wouldn't be too hard. After the tank fills up with water the crew can ascent in the same manner as a scuba diver. It was suggested a depth of not more than 2 meters which is feasible. The better solution is the editor just makes a few more crossing points.
Soviet tank crews have a kind of breathing device exactly for this, so they can escape a flooding tank.

I'm gonna say it's probably a graphics issue. Amds are a little finicky with the older opengl as far as I know
I have an AMD 5700XT, it's not that.

But alas, he threw the grenade too far...

Attacking american with a pistol ran past a soviet soldier, who will lob a grenade on him as a welcome present.

This is Soviet project of percpective tank, launched in 1980 by Kharkiv design bureau. Main features - unmanned turret and 152 mm gun. During 10 years this project transformed in obj.490 "Boxer", obj.492 "Buntar", obj. 477 "Molot", obj 477A "Nota". Also own vision of this project represented tank design schools of Leningrad and Nizhniy Tagil, but Kharkiv's vision won. After 1990 there was at least 10 experimental tanks were built, part on elements of chassis of T-80UD, part on elements of chassis of T-64B. Six tanks remained in Ukraine, but because of decline of economy and army in 90th-2000th further developing of this project was canceled. Russians, which got 3 or 4 tanks, probably could to use obj.477 developments in own Armata project. Since 2018 some leaks appeared that Kharkiv design bureau renewed works over Nota project. Ukraine also kept experimental 152 mm APFSDS rounds. But there is no any information what exactly they do with Nota tanks.
Very interesting, thank you.
So Ukraine will also go down in the direction like the Armata.

Ok, so that is a little disconcerting. A T72 can kill a Leo 1 at 3 kms and a Leo can do the same at 800m?! Am I reading that right? Now I am wondering what a T64 takes.
Same can be said about the T-62 and the Leopard 2. That is more disconcerting for me

IMHO the only way Afghanistan could be stabilized is by using medieval methods.

I don't know about the others, but I see the images attached in very low resolution, so the text is unreadable
For me is perfectly fine (viewing on a PC).

Plunging fire, an LOF is a straight-line calculation a trajectory is never a straight line.
How do you get plunging fire with a .50 at ranges of 500 meters?

Yes, they are. It's a real shame that they have such bias in the game.
No wonder, if you check the last pages of the manual, you will see that it's a single culture game.

Compared to US equipment, all russian stuff are blind so to speak.

Where somehow no one works, the government pays them to sit at home and they can have nothing better to do.
It is not the retired generation.
? Retired are exactly like this.
And they chat endlessly sitting on the porch or going to the shop. Just they find everything new to be difficult.

Out of curiosity: what is your time zone?
I have also noticed what you have described, from americans who want to do multiple turns a day and want you to be able to send your turn back the same day.

I disagree. They are supposed to support the infantry. Even more with cmcw
Then you make the same mistake like they did in WW1.

"Clearly better" is a bit strong. It definitely seems odd that the base level T-55 is more expensive, but it's not just a straight upgrade.
The primary focus of tanks is to fight other tanks first. With the upgraded ammunition to do that, it is a clear upgrade.
-
T-55A (208 points) is cheaper than T-55 (211 points).
From the manual:
"The T-55A featured a number of NBC protection additions and changes. The tank's machine
gun arrangement was changed, and the coaxial machine gun model switched.
In Combat Mission, the T-55A replaces the 100 mm BM-8 APDS with 3BM25 Armor-Piercing
APFSDS."So it is clearly better, yet costs less.
