But to make things even BF would have to model this unit; http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29257 civdiv 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 If we're getting update modules AND we're getting red-on-red & blue-on-blue battle, does that imply eventual knock-down-drag-out fights between Army and Marines? WAY COOL! :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritjof Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Guys! I never thought that it would be possible... But even after more than 16 years, reading the word 'Fruchtreis' sends shivers down my spine... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webwing Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 - Back on topic... have any of you played Steel Beasts ? M1A1, Leos, T-80s and loads more. Not sure about the Merk though. Very realistic apparently. - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Well I do know at least one M1 tanker, on this board as a matter of fact, who thinks that the Merk is the best tank in the world. Now back to MREs. One thing that switching from c-rats has done is now you don't have anything for quicky intruder alarms. The manuals still tell you to use ration cans to make noise makers. How the hell do you make a noise maker out of a plastic bag? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 sgtgoody (esq), Not just intruder alarms, but as the longtime basis for boobytrapping wire, out of LOS approaches and the like, using the tried and true spoon down, pin pulled, grenade in a can attached to a tripwire.

Stoppelhopser Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I come here to read about different tanks and then read the word FRUCHTREIS ! *runs away to the horizon in fear* Brought some home one day, nobody wanted to try it, even our dog did not touch it and she ate about everything else on this planet. The Hartkekse I actually liked to chew out on manouvre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how that happens isn't it? John, Exactly. It seems that a lot of old fieldcraft has gone out the window now days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazex Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hmm, regarding Panzerkekse... When I did my military service in Sweden in 1989-1990 they where cleaning out old supply depots. All the food I ate during exerices was from 1971 - including biscuits. Feels rather weird eating food that is was made when you was one year old at the age of 20 Those biscuits whould have been possible to use as ERA armour for daring tankers. The problem would have been that the tanks could have been completely destroyed even after a hit by 9mm ammo if you used one of the "bad" packs Isn't the best tank the Swedish version of the Leo 2 by the way? Strv 122 has superior battlefield communication equipment, fire control systems etc than the other Leos if I'm not misinformed (or out of date as they where deliviered 1997-2001 (but they have been upgraded very recently with new software etc)). I think it was Greece that recently tried out all available tanks on the market and the Strv 122 was the winner... /Mazex 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Still, it's hard to top the German and Italian WW II names for their canned rations: Alte Mann (Old Man) and Asino Morte (Dead Donkey). Almost makes C rations sound appetizing! As for Blue on Blue and Red on Red, the more modules released for the game, the richer the scenario possibilities become.
