In FB there are scenarios when you order 'Light' the 76mm Sherman uses the loader to use the .50 Cal but the 75mm Sherman doesn't.

"an eye for an eye" isn't a legal defence.
Out of context. The purpose is you shall not escalate. In this context everybody is guilty of war crimes.

Honest question: Isn't retaliation to a nuclear first strike also a war crime then?
Innocent till found guilty and to be found guilty you need to lose the war.

Click of the mouse stops us from reinventing the wheel. Here about communism nowhere it states it as being criminal.

EVERYBODY did warcrimes. Those who deny that fact know nothing about war.
Lots if not all Elite units can't by their very nature take POWs. Commando raids, paratroopers and the like. Easy to have judgement of the likes of Roland Speirs in Band of Brothers when he offered a last cigarette and then mowed them all down. What do you think their briefing was on the 5th of June 1944? How do you feed and provide care 100 km behind the lines? Natural when you deal out Victor's Justice you need the Geneva and the, The Hague codes. The worst crime during a war is to wage war against your own people. So no excuse for the holocaust even an anti-Semite like the German Kaiser had not much time for Hitler.

How politics works. Public Relations and negotiate from strength. Unfortunate Russian politicians are not very cute compared with elephants.

Or maybe they were indeed used to fight russians.
In the Netherlands if you fought the Russians 5years at the most if you manned a FLAK and shot at US or British Bombers or served domestically you faced the firing squad.

Interesting weapon the category UGV? A Dalek: "Exterminate, Exterminate!" Science Fiction closer to reality.

Yes Churchill 6pdr vs Jagdpanther, Jagdpanther came out 2nd best. A destroyed muzzle break and the reason he reversed. In CM don't assume that a better gun combined with excellent armor will work in your favor.

Very complicated indeed. The words: "I didn't know that helping Finland was a war crime."

Unbelievable it looks so simple how they get Intel. Subtitles are fine too if you switch to English.

The ATGMs of the day that opposed the Israelis needed to be flown to the target by an operator.
It was hyped up by the media. In Europe it would be a lot harder more trees and manmade obstruction. The Sinai was ideal for Saggers and they were deployed there for the first time.

Some more history of the Ukraine by an accredited Dutch Historian. Trudeau should have watched this video.

Israeli comment when fighting the T62 for the first time. They brew up the same as any other Soviet Tank. That's when the Centurions and M60's ruled with the 105mm gun. Yes the T72 is very functional first tank with an ejection turret.

Are those fur caps a mod?
I think they came with the Fire & Rubble units.

He certainly is ugly.

I think the first reports start to filter in. What I understand is that gun elevation rules. They can engage in excess of 4 km hit probability at over 90%. All this at night thanks to the thermals. Crew also has an excellent chance to survive when hit. The finer details will remain classified.

I wonder if that's the future of the tank?
We can't tell the future. Tracks, Armor and a Gun same as WW2 but it is a completely different vehicle. It is as different as an aircraft carrier compared with a battleship. Going to engage from behind the horizon. Question is how far?

Spotting Germans has always been easy no matter how disciplined their formations are. Two-thousand-year-old tradition. Dense forest no problem.

I assume the designer of the scenario is an experienced player. That the Sherman got an LOS through the terrain was a surprise to me or is it a bug? Went through three or four tree lines.
