I think that's unfair. Many of us are just people who want to give you money for content. 1000+ page abominations like this thread don't do anything for me.
It would be nice if this forum could go back to being about Combat Mission instead of just sperging about an ongoing war. Some of us are dealing with the human consequences of it right now - there are currently 46 Ukrainian refugees living a couple of hundred meters away from my family home - doctors, lawyers, dentists, logistics managers, business people etc who have become refugees whom we interact with on a daily basis.

Yes, quite frankly it is an abomination and quite ghoulish, and what's worse is that conversation about CM games has almost ceased on this forum.
Regarding lessons from this war - the only lessons have been how not to invade a country, and that armoured forces still need infantry to provide security.

Sorry, I don't have the brainpower to come up with gems like solo armoured vehicles operating without infantry support or any support in general dying to ATGMs means that tanks are obsolete. Another I interacted with was arguing that because tanks are not wunderwaffe which can defeat all threats all the time they are obsolete.
So no I don't think a whole lot of many of what can only laughingly be referred to as "contributions" in this thread.

I will vouch for Miles as having a positive impact on the CM community as a whole.

That's not to say I necessarily endorse any specific positions or opinions, but he's firmly not a troll.

Not at all, just merely being level with you to explain my frustration at the apparent lack of progress.  We've had no word on engine 5, there are finished and completed games like Battle for Normandy that are still not on steam almost half a year after they were promised.  No word on the battlepacks, modules for cold war, or news regarding features (such as the replay system that already exists in CMPE) that many people have been asking for for a LONG LONG time.  

And all we see from the official face of battlefront is this thread breaking 1000+ pages.  I am fully aware you don't code Steve.  But it would be nice if we got regular updates on the features we were promised.  I am all for being patient but there needs to be signs of progress or people begin to rapidly lose interest or get frustrated myself among them.

1000 pages, during which Black Sea has gone on sale multiple times on Steam, yet all development on anything related to Russia seems to have been halted because of the war. I don't understand this contradiction.

You know if we converted a tenth of the amount written in this thread to game development and giving the community meaningful QOL features such as the replay system already available in CMPE and a map editor that isn't the most tedious thing to use on earth we might actually be on engine 5 by now.

This is kind of exactly the point though, nothing will be released during the war, yet the game continues to go on sale? A little curious really. The reality is no one in the consumer base would actually care if they released the planned module or other planned modules during the conflict. The reason I suspect work ceased was because nearly none of the other release dates given, for products have nothing to do with the war, have been upheld so far. What concerns me most is that BFC has seen that taking 6 years to make a module is a still a successful venture (Fire & Rubble), so they know they don't need to be punctual to make money. This is really unfortunate for us consumers, but that's how it goes I suppose.

So after a break I've decided to livestream again, starting with Valley of Ashes:

Is the death of the infantryman as a role going to be discussed in future wars involving these drones like the death of the tank was during this war? 
Imo both the tank and the infantryman are not going anywhere for a while. It will be interesting to see engineers come up with ways to counter drone technology. 😀

Judging by where the posts are, this forum is for crackpot discussion of the Ukraine conflict and very little else.

Strong agreement. I've been playing the The Push From Dniprodzerhyn'sk campaign, and the maps are quite frankly absurdly small and disappointing. By contrast the maps in Crossing the Dnieper are far larger and makes for a better experience.
The quick battle maps also need to be reworked or completely changed. They are by far the weakest part of Black Sea and Cold War, far too small and cramped and too often uninteresting.

It's so that I can do this:
The linear battlefield may be replaced by the fragmented, or nonlinear [очаговый], battlefield, where brigades maneuver like naval flotillas, deploying maneuver and fire subunits over large areas, protected by air-defense systems, electronic warfare and particulate smoke. Strongpoints will be established and abandoned, artillery fires will maneuver and difficult terrain will become the future fortresses and redoubts. (source: Grau Bartles Armour Winter 2022)

The usual rule of thumb is the time period or theatre that interests you most.

Artillery barrages preceding an attack is normal. The problem you have is with the scripted AI plans.
