Re: The current Bolivian Political Situation

Brazil intervention teams (say paras or jungle units) vs. Bolivian National Guard or whatever their security forces are called? Maybe with some corporate-hired "private security contractors" teams on...

Re: New Iraqi equipment

There were plans to extensively refit the Iraqi army with surplus US equipment, including M1A1 tanks and F16 fighters, but that was before the three years of insurgent bloodshed shifted the priority...

Re: Missile Teams indoors?

Good question indeed. But as Bishop said, one hex of urban terrain is a large area, probably more than one building except for warehouses, so 1) occupying soldiers have penty of discrete outdoors...

Re: OT- Recoiless Rifle

I guess the 'regular' infantry is still much into the cold war inheritance of being suited to fight off armour at close ranges. Hence the squad-level Dragon missile launcher which is deliriously high...

Re: MBT-70

I may be speaking total BS here, but isn't that related to the fact that the wires aren't coated with some insulant due to weight constraints?
The signal-bearing wire is coiled inside the missile...

Re: Best way to use airmobile and panzergrenadiers

It is all a matter of how you use these units. The smaller head count of most AT teams makes them easier to kill, but also harder to spot. So ambush is the word, but I admit that wasz easy to guess....

Re: creating a new, fictional oob

The only way I know of that would allow to figure that effect would be by using the AP ammo type only. AFAIK only both AP and Sabot rounds will lose penetration over distance, while HE and HEAT are...

Re: creating a new, fictional oob

I don't know anything about the setting you want to model in this OOB, but the "swarm" organization you describe made me think of something that was discussed to figure radar-centralized SAM...

Re: Fight against 2 or more opponents by AI?

Andy, do you think that this feature could be integrated into SPMBT at some point too?
I admit that it would be less of a point than in WW2 settings, but it could add something in campaigns or even...

Re: creating a new, fictional oob

Thinking about the low-caliber railgun issue...
I assume that weapon is only supposed to fire KE armor-piercing rounds, as opposed to any kind of explosive ammo, right?

If so, maybe you could try...

Re: Whats left of Iraqs Military?

Re: Why not jet AOPs?

Do you really have jet recon aircraft flying the same kind of AOP sorties as the light grasshoppers and UAVs in the game?

From what I've understood from the manual and the various discussions on...

Re: Only 120mm for smoke firing?

I remember seeing IA using offmap arty to lay smoke at least in the early turns of an (AI) assault.
Possibly too during meeting engagements, when the IA has uncovered a possible line of attack, but...

Re: TOW

Making them crew-served is an interesting option indeed, but what will it change to the ammo-vs-crew problem?
Apart from the fact that you won't have a fixed two-men icon 'covering' for a four-men...

Re: Damage to tank fire control systems

Re: What are your favorite units in the game?

Look at the NVA "Support ship" f.e., it uses the ammo ship icon in the LCG class, and I think that's the best to use. Ammo carrier class would give it an unrealistic ability to resupply other units,...

Re: What are your favorite units in the game?

You can get even better with the Sabra, which is basically an ugraded Magach-7 with the Merkava's 120mm gun.
Should come in service any time in the Turkish forces if I'm not mistaken, but I couldn't...
