That scenario is designed to be a bit of a wake up call (i.e. what an angry MRB looks like when it is let off the leash)...glad you are enjoying it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cease-fired w about 20 minutes left, there was no more significant movement happening by red team. I only got a tactical victory despite putting quite a hurt on them. They got the two phase lines but not even close to the road junctions. I knocked out 11 tanks and 33 APCs and caused ~65% casualties. That MRB aint gonna bother anyone else in this war. Only succeeded because I set up flank ambushes and didn't try to have long distance shoot out -- I learned that lesson a while back (those damn saggers and 125mm guns). I am starting to feel the attrition -- my infantry were shorthanded and short of dragons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfrodo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I'm about to start battle #5 of the 1982 US campaign. I have my first M1 Abrams, thanks much to the gods of war! They've got the 105mm L/56 m68A1, compared to the 105mm L/62 m68 of the M60s. How much better is the L/56? Can I expect to outgun the T64Bs at long range, which I couldn't do w the M60s? With M60s I've adopted 'sherman vs panther' tactics of looking for keyhole/ambush/short range engagements -- any tips? (I guess this is why you added the NTC campaign I haven't yet played ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Capt Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 As I recall it is less about the gun and more on the ammo. By default those M1s are firing the M774 DU round which have game. That and all the best sights/thermal makes for a pretty potent hitter. The T64B can still shrug a hit to the front, probably out past 2000m but I would think the pairing more along the lines of Pershing v Panther given the improved M1 armor...but I would not get too cocky. Battle #5...find, fix and finish...bit of a swirl that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to sit back and ambush each avenue of advance but my orders are to find 'em, so off I'll cover. The warning about soviet air in the area is worrying for sure. I hope to start it tonite. Any chance you can call my manager and explain that NATO needs me this afternoon and I should be given time off? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbsapp Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 So do people who succeeded in 3rd mission of Soviet campaign exist? I managed to lead part of my forces to extraction point, but still got defeat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M68A1 after some time used a reinforced breach allowing bigger pressure / higher muzzle velocities.@The_Capt, if I'm not mistaken M774 can be fired from older breaches. Only M900 required a stronger breach - differentiated by breach serial number. Am I right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the usual military acquisition song and dance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbsapp Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I got "minor victory" in the 5th mission of Soviet Campaign, but it didn't eject me to the 6th mission. I got Campaign End screen instead. All the previous mission ended with victory, but it didn't lead me to the promised land, e.g. Alsfeld 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try it again. Also, that looked like a bloodbath. Edited August 3, 2021 by The_Capt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think WW3 would look like, like rose bath? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbsapp Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 It seems there is no way to add AT-4 ATGM in the editor. In "Specialists teams" tab choosing "ATGM Team" results in addition of AT-7. The only walkaround is to purchase large formation and then "clean" it from everything except AT-4. I think the option to add AT-4 separately should be added. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
