Reason I like Red Thunder, a boys dream came true. I finally can play with JS2s. Waited 60 years I am now 73 but it was worth it.

Was watching this YouTube video about unmanned vehicles and I found it interesting.
It is Israel among others so my apologies if it is off topic.

Never say never! Only the good die young, so you might still be around in 2055!
One thing is clear all the arguments of for or against won't stop the warming of the planet. Besides I think 40C is nice warm and comfortable. Once I see the zealots no longer flying to their destinations I may take them more seriously. They are completely counterproductive, stop pollution is far more positive and is what most people can relate too.

But, hey, all cool, cuz you won't be here. Nice FU to all our children & grandchildren.
I live in Australia and worked in 50 C. Oh yes the two wars are completely not connected and I will use the reference Battlefront Forums Wargamers Community. Far better than fully accredited journalists. I know people who resort to personal attacks are worth zilch. To work in 50 C is lovely speaking from personal experience it is lovely a year and you are used to it. 50C is about 114 F. Now stick to the Ukraine War topic not the game.

that our generation chose to mock & ignore.
I am 73 by 2050 I won't be here any longer. Climate change is good business for these people. They don't fly economy for starters. Oh yes my electricity runs on solar and use the car twice a week. Not much the world can do about climate change even if it is caused by man. Lift the third world out of poverty and you may get the support of something like 6 Billion people. Yes that takes industry, our indigenous people lived in 50C during summer for the last 40000 years. Better get used to it.

What has it got to do with Ukraine?
These two wars are connected but I maybe wrong. It got the attention away for a short time or longer. The media plays an important role.

Just what they need Climate Change Zealots in the Ukraine.

Moorland in Woroblin Bridgehead.

Mini Gatling guns which can spew 6000 .22s a minute could be successful against drones. But we don't see anything new from that direction.

Same here I like Hotseat and got spoiled by not waiting.

Maybe at a stage of development there were more ammunition types planned and this is what is left of it ?
I think it is a leftover from the original Shock Force. In Black Sea if I remember correctly they dropped it and you have only General and Personnel.

Are there more options in the Professional(military) Version of combat Mission?
That is what I need because effects in the game are not modelled. Only what we see when we are on the receiving end. But the attacking player can only guess and make an educated guess. I know a 25 Pdr can knock out a StugIII. That is from player's experience.

The result? only 3 light injured.
That is just about what I would expect. You need a short heavy barrage in WW2 settings to have some reduction achieved. That is general the fuses took off with the introduction of the proximity fuse.

General, or Personnel,
What is better in the game Personnel or General when you call for a mission in a forest?

I can confirm that 81mm mortar has no effect on armor. And I tried some 155mm general rounds, they can't immobilize any tank either.
In Edge of Darkness in SF2 the Mortars took out the BMP2s.

What is the type of ammunition used in "for armor" mission? Delayed fused?
The Jury is still out on that one. I use armor against armor and against apartments with more than one floor. Never tested it how effective it is but it seems a good tactic.

so is it a bit like taking a chance when u think u move or stay out of sight but u might still be spotted regardless of the LOS pre-checks?
I found the Move Tool very useful. I can eyeball the endpoint.
But the LOS Tool doesn't allow me to target it. The Vector is absolutely straight.
But over the years I know the TacAI still generates contacts for me to engage.

I understand the Ukraine sunk one of them. Seems to be a modern ship.

Yes, the .45 ACP has real knock down power. Wondered where he was shooting at.

I don't think so, not if your gunner can't get a LOF but they can. For example a Stug behind a wall might never get a LOF over that wall, but an enemy can still hit the upper parts of the Stug.
Going back to the OP, they may just have spotted you quicker. I'm sure we've all been KO'd by an unseen AT gun (with or without an elite crew).
I said "Which is not always true". Read the above again. The 60mm Mortar in direct fire mode vs an MG42 is the most obvious example.
