Green Clutch Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I just started playing recently. I've noticed that sometimes an AT-7 crew firing from inside a building will go suppressed after firing without being shot at. Is the backblast causing suppression? I have not seen the same thing with Javelins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Yes, and the Javelin is equipped with a soft-launch system that minimizes backblast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Green Clutch, Welcome aboard! You are correct. Firing the AT-7 from inside a building will cause suppression. The CMBS Manual's description on Page 128 says "...soldiers will suffer a small amount of suppression from firing AT-7s indoors in Combat Mission." Just be glad it was only an AT-7! https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e01_1378005515&comments=1 An RPG-7 can, in real battle, at least, be fired indoors, but it tends to be exciting. Not sure quite how to rate this guy's morale state! If this guy wasn't suppressed before... https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5aa_1356736521&comments=1 Self-suppression--further "improved" by prompt counterfire. Sounds like some sort of cannon out there! There's enough video out there to show that the RPG-7 can, at least in certain circumstances, be fired indoors without incapacitating the room occupants. This is plainly evident, for you can see guys not only still standing but assessing the results, exulting, peering around a wall corner, etc. In light of the evidence I've found, I think BFC may wish to revisit the automatic suppression result when firing an RPG from indoors. Anyone know what's actually being taught in RPG training regarding firing the RPG from indoors? There is also video in which someone tries it and just disappears. Oh, wait. That famous one apparently resulted from missing the mousehole through which he was shooting! Here is why the AT-4 doesn't suppress the occupants when fired from inside even a very small structure. Still trying to find any video of an ATGM launch from inside a building. The only stuff I've seen is from a rooftop.

John Kettler Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Frances Eryx can be fired from inside a building. See 2:22 below.It's been in service for quite some time, too. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Am I the only one - many of the above pics and videos are blacked out on my system... (Am currently traveling outside US if that makes a difference.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Erwin, Don't know what to say. Is it possible the authorities where you are consider YT subversive and have blocked at least some of its content? I'd imagine, for example, that there are great chunks the Chinese authorities would wish to keep from the populace. One such category is undoubtedly military. China's Golden Shield aka Great Firewall is there specifically for that purpose. And as the embedded infographic shows, Internet censorship is quite common around the world. Indeed, it's illegal in some nations to have a VPN installed. During the Cold War, at the SALT talks, senior US negotiators were buttonholed by their opposites and remonstrated with because the US, in its presentations to officially establish who had what ballistic missiles, of what capabilities and where, was revealing Russian military information higher than the clearances of most of the Russian contingent!
