Perforator Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Any news about CMSF2? I hope it hasn't been cancelled because it's the game I'm most interested in playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Tank Hunter, Outstanding! This would've been worth its weight in gold to me back when I was a professional Threat Analyst. Lots of goodies here, including Msta-S firing (seen from inside and out), the Chrysanthemum tank destroyer (only weapon mount shown), BMP-3s, 2S6 Tunguska firing, to name but a few. This is clearly not Putin's favorite pastime. He is NOT a happy camper! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPB II Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Great video! I will nitpick about the messed up audio channels, though. If you want military porn propaganda, although not directly CMSF2 related check out this channel for 181 videos with reasonably nice production values: http://www.youtube.com/user/DefenceForcesFinland There's a lot to watch there. I don't know what would be a good example. I liked this one. No, I'm not biased or anything. How could I be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Great video. My "cousin-in-law" (in Lahti) was a Finnish major and took me to see a museum with tanks and weapons from WW2 to present day. Saw some Finnish T-70's(?) doing maneuvers. Of course the Finns' equipment seems mostly Russian-made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw some Finnish T-70's(?) doing maneuvers. Of course the Finns' equipment seems mostly Russian-made. Cool, that was probably the Parola armoured museum, a great place to visit. My father did his military service there and many moons ago he took me sneaking around his old hood. We almost got driven over by a T-72 on exercise. T-55s and T-72s have since been scrapped and replaced with Leopard 2A4s. A lot of the equipment used to be Soviet made, but this was part of the political game to please the Big Bear during the Cold War. Pretty much everything is Western kit these days, but I don't agree with all of it. Russian gear is proven to work in demanding conditions. But the current political climate is leaning towards NATO and NATO compatible gear. Offhand, I think we had domestic assault rifles and combat gear, Israeli radios and thermal vision, Swedish and German AFVs with US made primary weapon platform, US air support, Swiss UAVs, Swedish and Israeli ATGMs, French and US rocket launchers... PKM machine guns and a lot of the howitzers were Soviet era gear. BMP-2s are still being used in some units but I can see them being replaced very soon. Pretty much every training exercise, no matter how it is handicapped, the modernized CV90 mechanized units trump BMP-2 units with their old kit. Oh, even though the assault rifles are Finnish they fire a Soviet cartridge. You could say the kit is very international. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
