Jeff Cooper the father of practical shooting came up with a formula. He was a Marine Colonel. The formula was bullet weight in grains multiplied times the velocity in feet per second. I admit it was biased towards the .45 ACP The .45 ACP score 230 grains times 800ft/sec. 184 as the sum is divided by a 1000. Enter the 5.56 mm NATO in shock value 60X 3000ft/sec comes to 180. It has a better ballistic coefficient but up to 50 meters comparable. At 300 meters it is equal to the 9mm. Enter the AK47 150 grain at 2000 ft/sec comes to 300. It was far more efficient in jungle where pointing shooting rules the SLR and M14 nudge close to the 400 in shock value. The M16 rounds tended to deflect in the scrub the heavier slower bullets didn't. The 5.56mm NATO relies on the sock effect of its velocity to be efficient. Automatic fire needs to be controlled to 3 round bursts at the time higher is a waste of ammo. Body armor will signal the end of the NATO round in my view. In the game most troops get killed by HE and anything else which says bang. Happy gaming some jokers put an aimpoint on their 1911s that was in 1987's it took the fun out of pistol shooting competition.

Australian Infantry in Vietnam SLR read (FN FAL) vs AK47 NVA. They never felt at a disadvantage, they preferred the SLR above the M16 which was just introduced. With all respect I think your opinion is subjective.

In CM1 Barbarossa to Berlin we had a battle for Sevastopol. USSR marines were hard to get rid of.

Armistice and a generation from now they will finish it. Like WW1 the cause Europe imploded history repeats always.

Looks like a modern military to protect the interest of the old Hanseatic league. Tell putin Novgorod belonged to it too.

I found this interesting video this morning. It offers some insight of a Russian BTG.

How does the fighting compartment of an M60 compare with the Leo1?

The scenario was Final Blitzkrieg I can't edit my mistake.

Thank you much appreciated. *SPOILER* In "Knock them all down BZ" It was possible to knock out one of the pillboxes with the 155mm. I try those things out with games I already played.

The bigger they are. He needs some explanation, second best against three Shermans.

I agree especially if it comes from the M8 scouting vehicle.

Interesting video about the role of satelites in this war. Ukraine: The New Satellite War - Digital Eye - YouTube

I would like to see a test of what is required to set off mines and IEDs with artillery.

I think it may very well be done on purpose. More like a FOW I can't see much difference between a light or heavy fire mission. The type of mission is more important than judging the animation.

Obviously, security glass is not modelled in the game.

It would be like a Korean War module.

Not really there is space for a fourth. An additional space is available in the chassis as a command post or for a drone operator or wingman pilot. Rheinmetall unveils new tank design: KF51 Panther - Breaking Defense

His latest update.

You know the difference between Lavrov and an IS2 tank? The armor of an IS2 tank is only 130mm thick.

You know the trouble with defending? You need to win every time. If you are the attacker, you need to win only once. Let me think logistics, Russia receives lend and lease from China. They always like to make money.

I think we get a similar period which was experienced between Israel and its Arab neighbours. 1967-1972. Russia will go back to the drawing board and start again in 2027. Five-year plans are their tradition.

Cuban missile crisis. It ended as the next step was complete mutual destruction. Are we as brave today as they were 60 years ago.

Playing a game about it is not much different than reading about it. The game is a form of communication. All those politicians on both sides on 6 figure salaries, journalists etc are profiteering. I feel for the boys on both sides instead of playing a game of soccer against each other they are killing each other. Their remuneration is very modest too.

Things become a lot clearer now. Donbass Region means Dumbass Region and they empty prisons to get the expertise required to hot wire enemy vehicles
