That is straight talk and no soft tunes from the central scrutinizer of this forum.
I just about came back from sitting in the penalty box for five days.
I can't promise that I'll adhere to those words though. It will probably depend on the situation. And if I'm sent off to the penalty box for five days, I'll have to use that time of rest to consider my sins.

I didn't go off road anywhere or in any way. LongLeftFlank asked a question and I answered him with a history lection with information which should be common knowledge by now. But because of political correctness this information seems to be frowned upon.

It's going to be interesting to see how many million dollars that go into the pockets of greedy Ukrainian officials all right.

This video collage is quite funny (and has most likely been up in this thread before). Putin is happily eating his yoghurt while Russian tanks are being towed away behind his back.

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.

Those have nothing to do with how German material is of low quality. They are just part of the game which all suffer from.
Line of sight is often very strange in the game and vehicles often get stuck in a little splash of mud for no reason at all.

Where is @Battlefront.comSteven? He is usually active in this thread by this time of the day but hasn't been active the last 4 or 5 hours.
Did his wife force him to go with her to buy some new stuff to the living room or kitchen? I bet he's sitting and waiting for her to decide which plates or chairs to buy so he can catch up with reading what's been going on in this thread.

Vehicles can pause for a number of seconds just to pick troops up before they carry on to go somewhere but they can't pause and let troops jump off before they carry on. I don't know why this difference exists but of some reason it either must have been viewed as more important to be able to pick troops up or maybe they missed this while writing and control checking the code for the game engine.

Did I understand this correctly? Are these soldiers belorussian citizens fighting for Ukraine and against Russia, Chechen orcs and possibly the Belorussian Army if it already has crossed the ukrainian border?
 

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.

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.

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.
