I'VE COME BACK TO THIS FORUM AFTER SOME TIME AND WAS ASTONISHED TO FIND THIS THREAD. FRANKLY I CANT SEE ANY BENEFIT AT ALL IN HAVING THIS THREAD ON A GAME FORUM SITE -- IT COULD ONLY HAVE RESULTED IN A FORUM FOR A TORRENT OF RABID RUSSIAN ZOMBIE SLAVES TO PUSH A PRO KREMLIN NARRATIVE. PEPPERED WITH ...

Well do you want to "cheat ?", the game designers have chosen to add a orders delay for many good reasons, they are experienced gamer designers and some have a "military" background, that's what makes this game so good,orders delay forces you to think ahead, make plans, keep a reserve with a good ...

<t> CapnDarwin,<br/>
once again thanks for your prompt response - not as easy as I thought, I'll have to have a ponder on this ? <br/>
regards <br/>
<br/>
Tazak, <br/>
you've certaininy done a comprehensive revision of the British covering every issue I had (MILAN and 2inch ) apart from (unless ...

<t> I am currently in the process of revising the OB for British Mechanised Infantry Battalions and Armoured Regiments .<br/>
Amongst the objectives to delete the erroneous 2inch Artillery platoons, and divide the company Milan Posts amongst the fighting platoons .<br/>
Spreading the 2inch mortars ...

<t> Thanks to Capn Darwin for his prompt response and explanation .<br/>

What I was meaning in respect of “facing” was the units direction of attack/advance ,it’s focus of attention or orientation in terms where it expects to engage the enemy or be engaged from, or coverage of killing ...

<t> Facing <br/>
Curiosity – how is the southern storm game engine going to deal with unit facing ? <br/>
At the moment how FPRS deals with unit facing is, I think, limited. For example how a unit in a town hex of 500m can fire throughout its 360 degree arc , firing in one direction one moment and ...

<t> Can't say there is any real life evidence as to the effectiveness of tracked Rapier, but the ground Post Rapiers sent to the Falklands were woeful in perfrmance, being bashed about at sea for 6 weeks don't do electronics much good, equipped with a second rate sighting system, impact fuse only ...

<t> Interesting, thought the language was somewhat emotive, wondered why so did some research "Russia Beyond is a multilingual publication, one of the brands of "TV-Novosti", an "autonomous non-profit organization", funded by the Russian government. offering news, comment, opinion and analysis on ...

I think it's the percentage chance a target will be seen in that particular hex from the selected hex. I'm not sure if it is a basic chance subject to adjustments due to the observers optical devices and/or the targets size or type (foot or vehicle).

Re reading the whole article essentially there was zero evidence that a Mi24 shotdown a Iranian F4. The tests carried out on the AT 6 Spiral would suggest that they are not good at hitting moving helicopters if they can't hit something moving at no more than 15kph more than 4% of the time ...

<r> Below is an exert from a document I found on the internet site <URL url="https://web.archive.org/web/20100323174631/http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_214.shtml"><LINK_TEXT text="https://web.archive.org/web/20100323174 ... _214.shtml">https://web.archive.org/web/20100323174631/http://www ...

<t> Alternately keep changing the air units to resupply mode , that should stop air attacks until you have knocked back enemy air defences.This way you can continue use FSCC functions. If your air units are due to arrive as reinforcements you need ensure that you have your FSCC option set to off at ...

<t> Like many others I have my credit card to hand to buy SS on it's release.<br/>
Questions <br/>
Will British Forces feature in SS scenario's, I ask as the current OB for British Units has some minor errors.<br/>
1.2inch mortars should not be grouped together as a quasi artillery unit, they ...

<t> I have just watched the Netflix documentary film "Apache Warriors" which deals in detail with the Operation mentioned in Rusty1961's post. It includes footage and recordings of radio transmissions of the participants, and interviews with them. It's very informative. The challenges the Apaches ...

<r> Two key conflicts that have happened or are ongoing,<br/>
1ST Chechen war - once again demonstrating how utterly vulnerable unaccompaned tanks are in towns, take look at <URL url="https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/rusav.htm#N_10_"><LINK_TEXT text="https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/ro ...

<t> I think it is a question of hats , when playing NATO at the start of scenario I put myself in the position of the task force commander, deciding upon how I will execute the accomplishment of the task set for me, deciding what my battle plan will be. I assign each battalion and company under my ...

<t> Couple of questions regarding Southern Storm, (getting quite anxious with expectation[;)]) <br/>
<br/>
1. are we going to see the ability to plot the route taken by air units (using waypoints)carrying out air strikes. I ask as the formidable nature of Soviet air defence was well known and ...

Does the current game or the new southern storm game model the M712 Copperhead round ? From what I've read it would be a significant force multiplier for NATO artillery.

<t> Well fortunately there isn't really any real world evidence of how HIND would have performed in a battle against a first class opponent, what we do know is that in Afghanistan the Mujaheddin feared them until they acquired CIA supplied MANPADS which effectively neutralised them. <br/>
In other ...

<t> Perhaps this has more to do with the AI deciding that the AH1 has more chance to get a kill on the ground target than the Hinds, I've seen this where Tank units fire at MRC targets that are further away than the T80U unit right in front of them. I don't think the AI deals very well the concept ...
