It is completely broken. Just look at this they get within 50 meters of each other in broad daylight and be doesn't even see it. It's laughable that anybody would consider this to be realistic behaviour. Completely unplayable, I want a refund.

The same limitations apply to third party antivirus. They aren't built into the OS, they can only interfere with it, and the more they try to do the more vulnerabilities they cause. Again, this isn't a controversial position. Domestic users don't need third party antivirus. They just need to keep their operating systems and software up to date, follow good internet hygiene, and have backups. Just about the only additional software you may want is an adblocker for your browser. uBlock Origin is what I use. After that, you have all the protection you need built into the OS. A good practice is to crank up UAC to the max, using a separate administrator account to perform any installations.

This isn't a controversial point. 20-25 years ago, third party antivirus added value for domestic users, but the OS developers like Microsoft and Apple rapidly overtook them. Third party antivirus hasn't been recommended for domestic users since about 2008ish. This is a decent article from 2017 which lays out a good case with examples where third party antivirus caused more problems than they solved by interfering with the OS and increasing the threat surface area: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/01/antivirus-is-bad/ The day of "viruses" is gone. It's all about zero-day exploits. There is no defense against these since by definition they aren't known about. IT security firms do offer value to enterprise clients who have the resources to spend on custom solutions to meet their unique security environments. But that isn't the case for the domestic user.

Third party antivirus tends to increase the threat surface area of whatever system it's installed on, ironically making them even more vulnerable. Plus the third party antivirus will also have their own vulnerabilities. There are also no protections against zero-day exploits. The system needs to be actively supported in order to close them, which windows 7 will not be since it's been abandoned by Microsoft.

Let shrug. Writing stuff that runs on modern tech and old tech is both hard and limiting. At some point you just have to decide to cut off the last holdouts.

How can you suggest that when it's been abandoned by Microsoft, meaning it no longer gets security updates?

Yeah it's a true pain. It's really just easier to search your emails, or transfer over to using steam.

It's just artwork - most advertising has it.

I'm betting that corporations with IT departments (which isn't all companies bear in mind) would generally be better to weather an IT incident than a lot of consumers. I know individuals who have been ransomwared, and it was just easier to cough the money up than to deal with it. And tbf, the ransomware people were very professional and by all accounts gave excellent customer support when it came to retrieving the data.

Windows 11 is a brand spanking new OS, so hasn't had the bugs ironed out yet. Given another year or so to mature and I'm sure it'll be fine. That's different to relying on a 14 year old OS which has been abandoned by the people that created it. Windows 10 on the other hand is actively supported. Also, that guy wanted to play the game today, and not to wait an indefinite period of time for a bugfix to be released.

Having used it for the last several years, it's pretty darn good. What does windows 7 do that windows 10 doesn't?

Why are you still using a 14 year-old OS?

None of this means that manned attack helicopters are obsolete.

Why do some people perpetually expect some sort of wunderwaffe to change the course of a war? It's been almost a century since Hitler was raving about them in his bunker. Have people learned *nothing* since then?

This cuts both ways, and thus far the west seems to have the best capabilities.

Attack helicopters with standoff weapons have proven useful and fairly survivable (in that they're still fighting over a year and a half later) thus far in the Ukraine conflict.

Open up the Nvidia control panel (download it from the Nvidia site if you don't have it already), open it and add CM as a program. Then turn off FXAA. This will cause the game to be recognized as a game and the graphics card will be used.

As proof that some people do in fact play this game rather than discuss the ongoing conflict, here's a trickshot my boys managed to pull off, where they successfully engaged and destroyed a Bradley that reversed out of sight into defilade:

I've noticed that when given the opportunity, the AI will choose to engage a turned-out crewman with the coax rather than fire the main gun into the vehicle. This was behaviour became most apparent to me when I had three T-64s engaging an M167. All three T-64s proceeded to spend the next three (!) turns trying to snipe the gunner of the PIVADs with the coax and the commanders' MGs. Once he was dead, the PIVADs was destroyed by a couple of HEAT rounds.

Is the game using the nividea card?

"IR Optics" does not necessarily mean that a vehicle has thermal imagers. IR Optics also refers to the IR Lamp and sight. Edit: I'm really sorry, I didn't realise that this was from over a year ago. @Chibot Mk IX The manual doesn't make any statement about the T-64BV (or the Bulat for that matter) having thermal imagers. It may be worth logging a helpdesk ticket, as these are reviewed by Battlefront staff and they can document it as a bug to be worked on.

I think they're asking for you to share the save file here. If you think it's an actual bug, it may be worth creating a helpdesk ticket here: https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/ Remember to share the save file, screenshots, and other info.

If that's the same panzersaurkrautwerfer then they are one of the people in charge of the r/WarCollege subreddit, and is now a Major in the US Army National Guard.
