  1. As far as I can tell it doesn't make any difference. WW2 RT becomes a game changer by placing infantry on engine decks the C2 becomes on par with other allied units. Tip let the armor travel on hunt and give the infantry a dismount order. The moment a tank receives full contact it stops, and the infantry dismounts automatically. Soviet attacks should be armor based with tank riding infantry. Spotting ability depends on experience veteran are best in this role. Equipment re binoculars troops with a minus are beneficial for scouting they evade the moment a hunting tank stops.
  2. Yess but these are old Dutch APC's (M113)of which a contibutor of a previous post wrote these have only a BMG .50. An IFV in a tank role would be BPM 2. The photo could even be a staged photoshoot. Kind regards.
  3. You know it is real because no pinned soldiers in the fetal position.
  4. Managed to capture a 'still' of the Dutch Recycling Container. We call those things a Recycling Bin in Australia. The picture just frankly speaking doesn't make sense. The infantry debussed behind it, instead of debussing one terrain feature from the suspected enemy's position. Or is this a modern variation of the helmet above the trenches on top of a rifle-barrel? They may as well the vehicles were donated with compliments of the Dutch taxpayer.
  5. It is attrition warfare and you need pawns to win a game of chess. The Russians know that too and he maybe saver than you think. Or how do we know that anybody is in your 'Glasbak'?
  6. He spotted a YPR 765 an improved version of the M113 contrary to more modern IFV these are amphibious. Could be on par with the BMP-1.
  7. Keep your fingers crossed. It all depends on correct intel. These guys know what they are doing.
  8. If you play RT or FB the solution is to put scouts on the engine deck. For the T34/76 it is very advantageous you don't lose the commander gunner that way. For the Stug III it was standard practice. Yes the German name for them was Kanonenfutter the translation should be obvious. Spotting ability of the AFV goes up by 30% according to some testers. It is your call as a player. IMO a shortcoming in Battle for Normandy.
  9. It is what the German said, an artillery mission depends on the right intelligence.
  10. Re the above video. The German artillery stresses that during operations 'Smartphones should be put in the soldier's lockers. Putting them on the end of a 155mm shell could also be a solution. Lol
  11. A German explanation of the Russian artillery missions in the Donbass. The translation is OK the missions were 60000 shells a day HE of 40 kg . Looks like the Russians make the same mistake as the Germans did during the Blitz of 1940. Target civilian infrastructure whist the Ukrainian Army targets the Russian military.
  12. A German point of view. YouTube translate does a decent job. So, I can share it here. The Russian strategy may be based on a 50% attrition rate to win this needless war. An attrition rate like this would have most NATO administrations voted out of office. putin doesn't have that problem.
  13. Even a library of historical topographic maps would be great. To be able to do your editing in 3 D view woud be great.
  14. Yes, and European Social Democrats are under suspicion in the US. The Democrats want to adopt some of the social safety net rules in the US. Look at the suspicion it creates. German unification made unification of the two Koreas next to impossible. South Korea would have to burden the bill for it.
  15. Should reflect reality. I don't know what is involved in being an FO. There is a difference between Black Sea and Red Thunder. Word War 2 should be like Red Thunder, no communications, just friendly aircraft in the sky. Agreed.
  16. Can't we do this already when we rename a map? Also there are master maps which we can cut into smaller maps. An improvement is for example when we can use WW 2 maps in Black Sea or vice versa.
  17. I don't think the 120 mm HE from the Abrams is correctly modelled. He had time to say: "Au!"
  18. Here is the guy who almost got Messiah status. German politics without him is unthinkable. Their goal was reunification.
  19. putin was up to a few years ago a friendly head of state you could do business with. Now he has become a reptile you can't do business with. Germany was not the only country who got it wrong.
  20. Which features do you want, is the question. I don't know what is CM2.5 or CM3. Some people want better graphics I really think the present graphics are functional. I need bigger maps and easier management at battalion level.
  21. Come on US even an amateur like me can do it lol. First time ever this happened Zero Casualties.
  22. Pathfinding, like somebody said we don't play a traffic simulation game. I suggest looking into two camera settings 8 and 9. Replace it with a road map and a topographic map for the purpose of plotting way points for company size formations. On the road map the vehicles stick to the road network and on the topographic map formation according to the suitability of the terrain in regards AFV's. Easier said than done but I know it is possible to select edges with photo editing software.
  23. It is Nature vs Nurture. Some people just won't survive if you place them in a university with the commitment to graduate inside an X number of years. Give them five acres of land and they are home for generations to come. How big is Siberia and why do they want to expand towards Western Europe?
  24. Which army is doing that in Europe or Asia? You need roads and stay close to the logistics network. Anschluss of Austria no opposition and the German army advanced only on the roads. They lost something like 10% of their mobile units. Imagine if you go to cross-country. PS Market Garden failed because they were tight to one single road. NATO IFV's none is capable crossing rivers. The old M113 was capable and the US marines have some vehicles. Bridges are part of a road network.
