strac_sap Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) I'm hopefully not making a faux pas by being new to the forum and making a request, but I was wondering if there were plans to add the combat engineering vehicles? M728 CEV and Centurian Mk 5 AVRE with the BAOR expansion. I'm not sure for the Soviets. Personally I would love to try them out in MOUT, although leveling a building with one shot might be a bit overpowered. But will always be fun. They are both rather vulnerable to AT fire so getting close to town could be tricky. Edited June 29, 2023 by strac_sap added tags 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 In FB they have the 150 mm Sturmpanzer Assault Gun. It takes usually 2 hits to make a building collapse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Yes, the ability to breach an obstacle belt would be very useful. It is possible with a flail tank in CMBN and CMFI. But no breaching equipment in the modern titles. Mines and the breaching of mine belts also feature in current events out of Ukraine. Just a simple mine plow tank or roller tank in Combat Mission Cold War would allow for more acurate recreations of many training missions at the NTC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen the 165 mm actually fire, so I can't verify in that regard, but given that both of these use a HESH/HEP plastic explosive round it seems they prioritize breaching. The round is so huge its going to make a mess, but I suspect it will take a number of rounds to take out a building. TNT was for blowing stuff apart, C4 (plastic explosives) was for cutting things.

I noticed they didn't add this to the later titles with the engineering Strykers, so wasn't sure that was a thing they planned to do in CMCW.
