  1. Just the person I want to see how many hits are required to knock out a Panzer IV with a 75 mm Sherman from four hundred meters. So far four penetrations.
  2. Alcyoneus: they better read Greek mythology. Heracles had to drag Alcyoneus out of his country to beat him. Countries worth their name are like that. If they go abroad, they very often meet Alcyoneus and will lose their limited wars. It happened in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush senior had more brains than Bush junior.
  3. So far he has made $3 Billion of increased oil revenue. Not a bad payday for a month's work.
  4. You need to make sure all the files are gone; reinstalling will just repeat your frustrations.
  5. Clean everything and start from scratch. Download from the BF Website you have some downloads left.
  6. Motivation of Putin is a little like Viagra, the original prescription was for angina. Nowadays it is sold for a well-known side effect. Same with his policies, it has caused an increase in the price of oil. So far, he has made an extra $3 Billion US this year. Not bad for a little sabre rattling.

  7. Diehard Mark IV took five penetrations from a 75 mm Sherman. I recall another battle that the M8 Greyhound was far more effective. But then I played a German. The AI trigger says attack it will keep on attacking. It is a spoiler, just give them enough rope. No spotting problems tentative contact and an armor cover arc ensured the first hit. Range was less than 400 meters.
  8. Spotting goes for you and against you. The M4 Sherman buttoned up spotted the German open halftrack which remained unaware facing in the right direction. The AI didn't come up with an evasive action or was it the lack of a 'trigger'?
  9. Who is writing the scripts for the animations? Something for physics class pressure comes out of their nose and ears.
  10. Show their hand Ukraine is from tomorrow a fully-fledged member of NATO. Here is their weakness, all Members must agree to change the status quo. In other words, a country like Turkey or the Netherlands have the right to veto admittance. The country with the most powerful military does have as much cloud as Luxembourg. This may very well be the Game Putin is playing.
  11. Weird a 75 mm shell goes first through the engine block, crew and passengers' compartment before anybody is wounded or dead. The AI plans need some Standard Operations Procedure. Just waiting on the top of the hill. I am afraid once again it is like shooting cattle in the paddock. This has nothing to do with the person who designed the scenario, nothing but kudos to him or her. After 20 minutes funny things are happening, and the editor just can't deal with human attack plans. PS the Sherman spotted just fine, he was forewarned and had the tentative contact before he moved to contact (Hunt).
  12. Overdoing the macro side is part of the problem. You fight against the AI not a real battle. Example don't plot a LOF on a full contact unless there are two full contacts. Talking about LOF, your squad has full contact. You better split them, and you see out of three teams only one has the full contact. Experience is the best teacher and let the TacAI do its job and you won't be disappointed.
  13. Yep, if I remember correctly, they had a Russian Orthodox in Amsterdam. They all hated communism and Stalin.
  14. A nation of great chess players and ballet dancers must have culture and civilization.
  15. Introduction of the D-10 Gun on the SU100. Could penetrate any German late war tank. Prompted the development of the L7 NATO 105mm tank gun. The Soviets introduced their SU100 in October 1944.
  16. First time ever a Dissident President it won't survive a second one. Opposed his own judiciary and police force. I am not a lover of the present liberal democrats, but they stepped over the line there.
  17. Runners to complete the communication with the FO.
  18. Just watching the TV witnessing the circus over there. I won't see the end of this century, but I fear the US will be as relevant as Austria Hungary which was an empire just over a hundred years ago.
  19. The value of screenshots an instant record of priority intel requirements. necessary during big scenarios.
  20. Direct fire plotted and executed by the TacAI. If I plot manually, it usually fails.
  21. Put them in hide inside the hole and they take away the LOS of the enemy.
  22. I wish I could play the campaign on Hotseat. Once you know the position of Stg III it's game over.
