I had one of the rockets fell right next to a foxhole in Hammers Flank with no effect to the gunner inside. I used scenarios I played as testing to evaluate tactics. I don't know much about artillery, but I read something about the effects of 81 mm mortars and lung-shock. Even when you know the location it doesn't pay the engine still spread the shells all over the place as it should.

To me, this is not a good use of billions of Dollars. So if this is really the only role left for an MBT, then we should ditch MBTs.
It was suggested by an Austrian Military Channel to use Leo1 for infantry support. He was using the word Stug the Centurion 20PDR was also used for this role in Vietnam. Interesting the new US 105 mm system is just introduced the specs at first look surprising similar to the Leo 1 same weight and same gun.

Made with Affinity Designer Two. Exported as a PNG file so outside the icon it is transparent that is an Alpha Channel..

I play with Graphic Programs first Photoshop and now the Affinity Suite. You can make as many Alpha Channels as you like. Delete the one which give you problems and create a new one. It is just a transparent layer which allows to edit without affecting your project.

Who done it?

"Oh my God, the tank is on fire!" Took 2 seconds between penetration three out of five made it.

finally decided a couple years ago that climate change was real and serious
Yes around the time of WW 2 scenarios people didn't worry about climate change and doctors and nurses had plenty of work. It is the way people can tell the truth.

How cool is that, you can either kill someone with it or cut fences.
Like the cutthroat razor, you can shave but also still cut somebody's throat with it. Best of all you don't need electricity. Peaky Blinders were also British veterans. They kept it in their caps.

Otto Skorzeny's Men on the march. Imo opinion not properly modelled they can drive all the way in unchallenged.

damp" in "Against the odds"
Weather was around 75F chance of rain was 90%. Not unreasonable that the designer gives us damp weather conditions. He probably did the same what I just did.

Submarine destroyed a drone by blocking its trajectory to more for the enemy valuable targets. Pity I can't watch Russian news.

I mean they do, but they’d rather not have it used against Russia. Starlink is a convenient fig leaf, as has earlier been pointed out.
Yes, I guess as much, they don't have the same relation as with proper NATO countries. Or something like the ANZUS treaty.
-
Hard to believe the US Armed forces don't have something like Starlink to aid the Ukraine. Private business is in it for the revenue.

Like we say go for the ball and not for the player.

Not sure about what you mean.
When they are close inside four action squares, they pass on intel like any other unit. Like unbuttoned armor with an infantry unit. There is really no point showing it is in C2 to state the obvious the unit is really close. In your picture the C2 is the PIAT only it is the C detachment of the other two teams which probably are out of C2. It could be possible that all of the squad need to merge before it shows in C2 with the Company HQ.
-
I think the C2 is not as reliable as the regular Platoon HQ In your picture he is in C2 with his regiment and maybe in radio contact with his other two platoons too. They lost C2 during all of the Campaign?

Antartica is Club Med if you compare it with Mars, How many colonies are there on Antartica? Even Australia to work in the arid regions you need a good AC 24/7 and top notch facilities for recreation.

An analogy so it is yes.

The issue with all the “conflicts” (not wars, as only Congress is authorized to declare war) was not the fault of the military Commanders, Units, and Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen,
I don't take issue with the US military, we had during the Vietnam War an extremely left-wing Jim Cairns (Deputy to the Prime Minister) who went on a goodwill visit to North Vietnam while Australian soldiers were on patrol in South Vietnam.

How mother nature protects its territory. I had one making its home in my attic. But had to call in the council ranger. Orangutans don't have that problem. Possums are protected lol.

I think there is a difference between the Steam version and Battlefront. In Steam the F12 key is a screen shot and Battlefront brings you back to the previous unit. I don't know of anymore differences.

Interesting graphics.

By the way I didn't know that. And that's a pretty good explanation of what I observed!
Yes, it is APHE while at least British tanks use solid shot. Usually after penetration often a crew member is KIA and the crew dismounts.
Tanks are blind in CM

If they are around infantry they spot fine. At least for the US in WW2.
I am back playing WW2 I regret saying Black Sea has been a huge disappointment. Units in WW2 spot better and are more effective from snipers to armor. Black Sea has been a waste of money. Ok if they have some patches to fix it, but the talk fest is all what is going on. Listening to customers is a pest for them. Fine with me welcome to ban me from the forums. Happy with WW2 but not with so called modern warfare.
