AlanSA Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Korea. Would seem the natural progression given we've got to play with late war Allied and Soviet equipment and now get to turn them against each other..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 8. Back when Steve was pondering doing something with China I had suggested the 'near future' Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Taiwan has some nifty M60 family armor (with cool camou.) But Steve was cool to the idea, said the conflict would be over in no time were to really happen. Taiwan's half again larger than Israel with three times the population. it seems as viable a theater of operations as any other. Here's a weird set of picts. A Taiwanese M60A3 with... logs fitted to the sides and turret? Or am I misinterpreting the picture? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
com-intern Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Huh, I wonder if they do it for camo? The logs would naturally weather out in the field and as a result be more subdued but also not literal steel. Maybe some effect on FLIR systems?

BornGinger Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) A new game engine is the most important. One which is 64bit, so one can have three battalions in a scenario without the game lagging or crashing, and works well with new graphic cards. But it shouldn't require the newest cards but work well with those that are 5 to 10 years old too. That is choise number 9 in the list. 9.

IICptMillerII Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 What the hell, I threw ya some free upvotes. FWIW they are already doing point 4. CMFB will get a module that extends it to the end of the war. That, along with Fire and Rubble will see 1944-VE Day covered on both fronts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look like logs though, although maybe it's some sort of strange looking reactive armor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
