It was designed to be superior to the T55 and on par with the T62

The day after the signature of NATO’s membership protocol with North Macedonia as its 30th member, Ukraine did something without precedent: it included in its Constitution the engagement to enter officially into NATO and the European Union at the same time. This is quoted from numerous sources by a quick search on the Internent.

He succeeded in intimidating NATO. Aspiring for membership has the potential of seeing your country destroyed. Like Ukraine fighting for NATO till the last Ukrainian. For NATO time to call Putin's bluff, invade Belorussia would be a good start.

T64 has more punch and the Leo has inferior armour. The Leo will be suitable for defensive warfare. You look at two months before they become available.

Germany's offer more political than anything else. We look at it for two months before we see this outdated but still useful tank in action.

One hundred and twenty years behind the times when international relations were settled by the right of conquest. Queen Victoria died in 1901 she too believed in the right of conquest.

Some people just keep on dreaming, remembering the Sagger sure it made the Patton and Centurion obsolete the present generation was developed. M4 Sherman was called a tank the Abrams is a completely different vehicle but still called a tank. Something called a tank will get the better of the present Wunderwaffen ATGMs, however some geniuses will think of something to counter it.

Modern day recon and espionage.

Once they fire, they are toast. The Russians should not have any tanks left if the 90% kill probability is true. That is only for the Javelins not counting the NLAWs In WW2 it was the 88 mm killing tanks. Now AT Guns are obsolete not the tank The Russians used their tanks poorly. The question is what are you going to use in your formations instead of the tank. I hope I am wrong but soon the battlefield will be contaminated with nuclear fallout. Armour with positive pressure inside will be the only means to advance across it. US facing shortage of Javelin anti-tank missiles post supplies to Ukraine: Report (republicworld.com)

All controlled from outer space we play Combat Mission. With real maps our units operate anywhere in the world with our true-to-life equipment and humanoid robotics.

When you give orders which are not possible in real life you end up in a situation which is not possible in real life. I have closed up Shermans spotting enemy units before a sniper does. Is it because I make the sniper conveniently look in the right direction and don't bothered about the Sherman?

You should consider FOW infantry are concealed a lot longer. WW2 Soviets were masters of infiltration. Their grandsons in the Ukraine on the Ukraine side show their pedigree.

All Engine 4

Best tractors in the world. Here it distinguishes itself in a Bottom of the Harbor Campaign.

It is not a US tractor. I can tell no .50 Browning on the roof.

NATO two options Don't be there or don't be detected. Ukrainians better follow Sgt Schulz "I've seen nutting."

It becomes clear why exporting armor to the Ukraine is easier said than done.

Ever heard of a patrolling program? The key task of the infantry. I am 72 now but I can imagine area of operations covering 36km² instead of a large CM Map which is 16km². The Challenger tank in the game detects a sniper in the building once the sniper fires. I thought it was a bug, it would be a bug in a WW2 game. It goes back to classical times. Greeks had the Phalanx formation the Romans countered it with the Pilum. Looking at the present situation in the Ukraine. We don't know what our friends are doing with their T72s, I would think twice to step into one. Would Leopards2, Challengers or Abrams do better? Probably they are all part of the formations of the country which manufactures them designed for their doctrine. I can't see much sense to export them to get the most out of them would take some time for training and exercises.

The political principles of the National Socialist German Workers' Party is the official definition. Nothing to do with a country with a multi-party system.

What sort of nonsense is this? Nazism according putin's definition whatever that is. In a democracy people with different political views can start their own political parties whether right or left wing. Tolerance is not in putin's dictionary. I refuse to write that name with a capital.

Spotting: I went back to eyeballing from camera position one and made sure I passed on every contact or tentative contact. Few problems with spotting. LOS with the move tool just gives you an idea, nothing more.

Any Javelin operator can be taken out by any rifle bullet. Is the Javelin obsolete? Combined arms are part of the high-tech battlefield. The tank on its own is vulnerable, join the club any other weapon is too.

It is the social media. Conscript Army we all know those days should be over unless your country itself is invaded. Even if you make a C2 function in RL you do Combat Mission. Military internet in the 21st century must be on a different level. It may very much possible that the Russian conscript lost the battle in Cyber Space before it even happened. 2014-2022 plenty of time to train the Ukraine army for the 21st century. The tank is not out of date yet, I think the T72 is.

We could have WW2 in the 30's or alternative history.

Next European holiday: I will pay a visit to the "F#%k Yourself Museum" on my bucketlist. A little more colorful than the 'Nuts Museum' in Belgium.
