In some African countries for ecample they kill civilians on purpose and I don't know how often US attack drone controllers and helikopter crew killed civilians by "mistake" in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Russians aren't the only ones that attack residential areas on purpose.

It was very much the same during WW2 as it is now. The flight officer was pointing with his stick on a map and told the bomber crew that they should bomb this or that city after which the bomber crew went into their plane. The one that was keeping an eye on the ground below waited until he saw what he was waiting for and when they were over the lit up city he told the boss that it was time to open the belly of the plane to let the iron rain fall down to kill.
So it was just as much murder then as it is now. And the bomber crew wanted to give the "damned crauts" what they thought the "crauts" deserved.

You do know about the saying which goes "A lie, a damned lie and statistics". It seems that the "research" done by this so called Research Group Russian Field isn't correct. 
They have apparently asked 2000 individuals by the use of the phone which isn't a correctly done research. And it wouldn't surprise me if they have talked to 2000 individuals that don't really know anything about what is happening in Ukraine or have asked other especially chosen 2000 individuals.
If they had asked at least 500 000 from different parts of Russia and of different ages the result of people supporting the war would most likely have been much less.
So this "research" is Russian propaganda which only those Ukrainians believe is true that want to find proof that Russians hate them.

You can say this about many countries. People vote for a leader who is promising something, and maybe even has good intentions, and later on that leader, and his government, is "convinced" by business men and bankers to follow another way in how to lead the country. Or people are voting for A but B is using certain methods to make sure he wins.
So that Putin has been the Russian president for almost 20 years, except for the short time when he was a Prime, and later on decided that he should be leader for life, or whatever decision that was made some years ago, and politicians were bribed or threatened to allow that can't be blaimed on the common drab in the country.

There have been demonstrations against leaders in many countries and politicians have done what they can to remove the leader they don't like. That is all according to the law.
If later on USA or Russia, or another country, is removing the leader in a non-lawful way just to put their puppet on the throne won't make things better.
And even if the people would revolt and imprison or kill the hated leader and put a loved new leader in the office, there's always the possibility that bankers and businessmen will "convince" him to go back to the former way of leading the country.
Just look at what has happened in history where there was a revolt and the bad leader was removed. The new one(s) didn't make life better for the people.

It's correct that the Soviet-Russian soldiers managed to reach Berlin and other parts of Germany. But I watched a documentary about the war in which Soviet veterans, now old geezers, talked about how they despised the Soviet-Russian generals (and Soviet-Ukrainian generals too) for how they used the common soldier as their chess pieces so they could send a successful report to the Stavka.
In the Chechnya war in the '90s the Russian generals used the same tactics when they tried to storm Groznyi, the capital of Chechnya, with the result of many dead and wounded Russian soldiers. If I remember correctly they assaulted Groznyi twice or three times with great losses.
I don't know much about the Soviet tactics in the Afghan war, but it was probably the same kind of assaults used in that war. When I lived in Estonia in the late '90s early 21 century I talked to some veterans from that war and they were almost always talking badly about their officers.
So, yes, they got results but I don't think they have a good reason to be really proud about the tactics used.
So it doesn't surprise me if they use the same Soviet-type tactics today.

Seems a bit like a repetition of the German Winter offensive to take Antwerp in December 1944. It goes quite well in the beginning but dies out after a while because of problems with the lack of fuel for the tanks and the roads in the Ardenner region of Belgium not really good for the King Tiger tanks.

Every time I see destroyed and burning vehicles it seems a bit silly that the smoke from them always go straight up while other kinds of smoke and dust go sideways.
Is this something BFC has designed to make it easier to spot the enemy's destroyed vehicles so the player can think "Yes! I killed that bloody tank. I'm so good I deserve a lollypop" or is there another reason to this? Strong wind doesn't make much of a difference and the smoke still goes mostly straight up to do a slight bend higher up.
The picture is from DoubleD's youtube video of an H2H battle in Black Sea.

Something more than just a link to Youtube would have been good.
As Jc chino was too tired to write a few lines to the link I'll do that for him:
"Hiya mates at this formidable forum. Jc chino here on the sofa in my sweet living room with a 37" Samsung tv and home cinema system of five Harman Kardon loudspeakers.
Did you watch the Irish rugby team crush the Welsh in the Six Nations Tournament which was on tv yesterday? The result was 27-9 to the Irish, innit?
27-9 to the Irish! I could hardly believe it!
No, you didn't watch that game? I bet you all were watching my youtube video instead which must have been more fun. At least if you are from Wales, he he. Innit?
Jokes aside. Watch my youtube video and see how the US stryker squad fools those towel head Talibanis and give it in their face, he he.
You won't regret it. Take my words for it."

Do you have a picture to show us exactly what you mean? With contour, spikes and stair stepping effects I understand that you are talking about the elevation and how sometimes the result of changing it is not what was intended.
But a picture, or pictures, could still be of help for those who haven't made their own map yet.
You could for example add one picture with the changes done the wrong way on the 2D map and the result in the 3D map and a picture with the changes done the correct way on the 2D map and the result in the 3D map.
In a map I'm making now I wanted to raise the land a little bit on certain places in a river to  make it look like there are rocks in the river across which the troops could move to cross the river and behind which they could hide if they were shot at. On some parts of the river it looked quite ok but on other parts there was those annoying spikes pointing straight up like stalagmites. I tried to correct those spikes but it didn't matter what I did, those "rocks" still didn't look ok. So in the end I kept only those that looked good enough.
One thing that would make these spikes and pits occure less on the 3D map would be if the action squares were a lot smaller. It would then be easier to raise and lower the elevation on the 2D map without getting unwanted effects. I also think that if the change in elevation wasn't 1 meter but 50 cm the elevation would look better in the 3D map and the troops would lie more corrrectly in the ditches.

I was thinking that just as tanks, assault guns and halftracks in quick battles have different value points depending on how effective they are they could do the same when/if they decide to play an "against AI only" scenario and want to make it more balanced for an H2H game.
To find out the value points they can check the values for tanks, assault guns and halftracks in quick battles or make up their own value points.

The same can be said about documentaries and films about the sionist political organisation which apparently has the goal to create a greater Israel even if that means to steal the land of the Palestinians or to kill them and other people they call "goi".

Quite a nice picture that one.

Is this really necessary? How many are actually reading the number plates on the vehicles in the games? And in what way would different number plates make the games better? It won't make the games more tactical or more challenging.

Very quick and easy to pull that backflap down not only for a visit to the toilet but also when it's time for some fun and games.

Well, whatever you like. But if there ever was to be a game about the American civil war or about conflicts of the late 1800s it could still contain some of the battles and skirmishes from that period no matter how large and long some conflicts actually were.
Just as the WW2 CM-games we have today don't give us all battles that happened and don't give us a true representation of the battles because of time and scenario map limitations, a game about the American civil war or about the conflicts of the late 1800s wouldn't give us all battles and skirmishes or a true represenatation of the battles because of limitations.
I still think it would be fun to have a CM game about the American civil war, or about conflicts of the late 1800s, with some kind of C&C system where messengers on horses would have to be used to spread the knowledge of enemy movements to the different batallions and have other kinds of weapons than we have now.
I doubt that Battlefront will make such a game. But who knows, one day Steven maybe wakes up with a brilliant idea about making a game that effected USA for a very long time and wants to make it a bit different than the other games about the American civil war.

Just a little correction on the language. As Brigada and Rota are feminine words and end with an "a" the adjective should also end with an "a". So Strelkovyj Brigada should be Strelkovaya Brigada. And the same with Rota. Division is also a feminine word and should be diviziya and have the same adjective as above.
The information above is probably not so important when searching but could be good to know if someone has an interest in the Russian language.

The AI-scripting isn't that difficult if you plan for it. One thing that helps is to take screenshots of your 2D-scenario map and copy-paste them into one picture which can be used as the image overlay picture. On this new image overlay picture you can write down the moves and actions of the AI-groups which will make the AI scripting a bit quicker and easier as you will see that info when you do the scripting. Below is an image which shows an example of what the new image overlay picture can look like.
