Yeah, I was in that one too. 
I want the West Germans but would be happy with the Brits too...
Who am I kidding?
I'm going to buy the module pretty much whatever the content* is. I get hundreds of hours of entertainment time so the expense per hour is very low.

*If we get the Brits we could use the Shock Force maps and make Iran/Iraq war scenarios. 

Let the speculation begin!

Luckiest BMP in the Soviet Army?
2x 105mm tank gun hits (in the wheels), took a LAW72, and a 40mm HEDP grenade. Still driving around too.

If I were in the Russian government my long term worry would be the Chinese deciding to 'protect ethnic Han Chinese' that happen to live over the border in the oil and gas fields in Siberia.

It would also be great to see the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions then add some M-551 Sheridan's to the mix and now you have a Force Multiplier, and then add some Soviet Su-57 and Su-85's, a few Bmd's. Dang just the Airborne Units could be a module all by itself.

Soviet WWII artillery is pretty decent, by WWI standards. Soviet CW artillery is damn good, for WWII.

Tacops. Great tactical game that had very good AI for the enemy.

Another thing to keep in mind. The kind of place that has great lines of sight for your FO is also likely going to be a great place for ATGM or GMG teams. Those guys will attract fire and get your FOs killed even if the enemy never actually saw the FO team.

It's pretty hard to see men wearing drab clothing from any signifiant distance, particularly if they aren't moving or firing. 
You need to get LOS to the target, but that LOS can be to the top of a building or hill. A linear mission can drop rounds on targets that the FO can't actually seem they just need to see the end points of the linear mission. 
I try to get LOS with scouts to where I want my FO to get to. If there is a surprise I want to find out with the scouts and not the FO. When the FO is in position I give them a limited target arc to get them looking in the right direction and so they don't engage targets with their organic weapons. I also try to park FOs in foliage, rocks, shrubs, or in a building so they at least have concealment.

You have a save game file?

Since the M60’s armor won’t keep out anything more than a dirty look I’d take increased speed as an alternative. I think the  Germans were on to something with the Leopard 1 design criteria. I’m looking forward to trying them out in CW. 
As far as the French infantry go, I’d expect them to play similar to Brits or Germans of the same time frame. Battle rifle armed line troops supporting GPMGs and AT rockets.

An empirical study... Love the thread title 😉. This was the first time ever that I said 'time to work on my video' and opened excel instead of editing software 😅. Nice to hear you guys think it has some useful info, thanks.

My history of being disappointed by the M60 has come to a close. A BMP2 attempted a drive by and I had a M60 waiting in ambush. I expected the engagement range to be a bit longer but I can confirm that the front armor an a M60 can take repeated hits from a 30mm auto cannon w/o being crippled.

Pretty good shooting by the BMP gunner with nice tight groups, but just not enough in the end.
