As Phong foolishly tries to win the war from the air, ignoring the gritty realities of modern fighting, the forward echelons of Pablo's Combined Arms abruptly burst into direct fire range. The T-80 MBTs and Shilka SPAAA cut the aircraft to pieces as they attempt to struggle off the runway.
You have annoyed me puny one, denying my pilots targets :!: Now you shall face the price for annoying Sea Skimmer :!:

Night falls over the battlefield with Pablo's tanks continuing to advance in search of more SAC bases. It was to be there last mistake.

Distant points of light on the horizon caught one commander's eye. What an odd little display he thought. Then he saw even more points, some appeared to be moving. But the night beyond the roar of the tank columns was silent.

The man died at the first AGM-114K exploded on the engine deck of his tank. Dozens more dark yet glowing shapes flew through the air as blazing tanks rolled off the roads into the fields and ditches. More missiles rain down, exploding tank after tank, and seeking above all the hopelessly out ranged Shilka's. Finally the missiles stopped coming. 8000 meters away several battalions of AH-64D's along with OH-58D troops ceased firing and broke off to rearm and refuel as the closest FARP.

At the same time an entire aviation brigade's worth of Commanche's began working over the forward units supply lines and artillery with rockets and even more Hellfire's. Hundreds of trucks where fire balled while their protective air defenses where smashed by well-placed shoots.

Among the forward remnants of the shattered force, the next thing they heard beyond the sound of exploding ammunition and blazing fuel tanks was the all to familiar freight train roar of heavy artillery. But the rounds did not explode, rather they spewed out vast amounts of thick white smoke, blinding the T-80's active infrared night vision, but not the more modern passive systems..

Then it came, the first crack of a heavy tank cannon, a 140mm cannon to be specific. The long rod penatraitor utterly destroying one of the remaining T-80's. Hundreds more cracks followed it, annihilating every remaining piece of Soviet armor. The first brigades of Skimmer's M1A3 Armor had arrived on the battlefield..




I think we really need to just start a TGOD thread here or on ASVS..

38cm guns = pain! Too bad it's useless for anything but blowing up buildings. Good luck operating the reloading crane under fire :P
But you soviet freaks get such prototype vehicles as the IS-3 Stalin and
the T-44....so I have to say it's a fair tradeoff......

BTW, 5 or 6 Sturmtigers can give you a pretty good replication of Hiroshima

Meawhile, the base-security LOSAT HMMWVs open fire on Pablo's T-80 tanks while Javalin teams hit the Shilka batteries, allowing the rest of the aircraft to take off and flatten the Motherland :)

No, it's not a coincidence, oh evader of killfiles. Who do you think introduced Joel to ASVS? He prefers boards, that's why he came over to SD.net.

:roll: Let's see: I've always posted my true name on ASVS. I've never hidden any personal information. And if I wanted to hide such information, I wouldn't have entered the same location, you useless piece of racist shit.

By your logic, I suppose Rob is actually Lurker? I mean, Rob's often stated that he was posting at Lurker's house - there's an obvious connection there, I think. The mystery deepens.

ROTFLMAO, this is so wrong it's hilarious. :P

You actually think I'm insane, you stupid, stupid hatfucker!

Let me tell YOU about insanity....I have had to deal with my mother
constantly cleaning her bed and her clothes, and bitching and moaning
about invisible people who break into the house to spray crap onto her
clothes that give her headaches, or how I'm secretly an agent for my
father...telling him everything...for the last SEVEN FUCKING YEARS.....

You know NOTHING about insanity, you poor pitiful little man.....so....

with insanity....

My dad left my mother because she was FUCKING NUTS...he would come home
at 10-11PM at night, covered in filthy work clothes, and she'd accuse him of

Back on topic for CM:BB

Post by MKSheppard »

The Changes since CM 1:

http://www.battlefront.com/products/cmb ... tures.html

There are seven types. Note that nations other than Germany exclusively use "standard" optics. All six other types are German-only.

Standard: Mediocre quality and magnification, normal field of view. Not listed in the data window.

Good: Typical good-quality general-purpose German optics, mostly used by tanks. Crew must be green or better to use without penalties.

Binocular: Same as "Good" but allows use of two eyes for better depth perception. Used by early Tigers and Panthers. Crew must be green or better to use without penalties.

Long-range: High-magnification German optics, with limited field of view, used by assault guns and tank destroyers. Crew must be regular or better to use without penalties.

Very long-range: Extreme magnification power. Used only by late-model Jagdpanther. Crew must be veteran or better to use without penalties.

Dual-Magnification: Can switch between two different magnification levels, to optimize both spotting and tracking. Used by late-model Panthers. Crew must be veteran or better to use without penalties.

Narrow: Cheaper (by German standards) optics of generally good quality but limited field of view. Often used by lightly-armored self-propelled guns. Crew must be regular or better to use without penalties.

Good magnification allows for better spotting and gunfire accuracy at long range, except in low-light conditions where the greater need for light of high-magnification optics becomes a hindrance, reducing their effectiveness relative to lower-power lens.

Wider field of view allows for quicker target acquisition and tracking, which allows the gun to be aimed (and fired) faster. Limited field of view can cause difficulty tracking moving targets at close range.

Hot temperature reduces optical performance, especially for German equipment. The reduction is lesser for more experienced crews.

Extremely cold temperature reduces performance of ‘standard’ optics, especially for inexperienced crews.

Extremely cold temperature increases performance of German optics, especially for experienced crews.

I call them as I see them. Only in your fucked up little world would your behavior be considered normal. I bet you make secret phone calls to your mentor Adolf at night, blubbering into the reciever on how he's the only one to understand you.

But I don't think you're clinically insane. Please don't think I'm as cruel as that. No, I just note that your version of reality doesn't really seem compatible with the rest of the world. I'm also happy to note that you didn't dispute my other points, but not that surprised. After all, anyone skimming your posts would realize the futility of arguing against evidence. And the evidence all points toward you being a coward, a loonie, a moron, and a general waste of genetic material.

Exactly why I don't even bother to go beyond insults with you, you fuckwit.

No matter what sort of evidence I put here, you'll just still keep calling me
a screwed up idiot. Yes, I do have friends you twat, but I see no reason to
drag them into this conversation, where you'll just belittle me about having
"imaginary friends".

Wow, I've got you down cold, Eleas.

Ooo, nice. Now show me where I say you have imaginary friends. All I stated there was that you had none.

Hmm. I suppose the word "friend" will have to be redefined to include your former status as prison bitch, then.

And If you get to make wild generalizations pulled out of your ass about
me, then I get to make the same stuff about you. I have you down so cold
it isn't even funny.

The conversation would go like this:

"Shep: I have friends"

"Eleas: No you don't you waste of sperm, all you have are your imaginary
friends Adolf and Heinrich, and you spend hours every night talking with them."

I've got you pegged down to a Tee it isn't even fucking

The supposed success is short lived however. A THEL firing unit undergoing operational testing catches half the rounds, sparing the heart of the army from harm. The remaining 15-kiloton blasts do minimal damage to several forward brigades. The tanks continue to roll.

However the counterstroke is less than 45 seconds in coming, an entire battalion of MLRS firing units loaded with ATACMS return fire.

The 36 missiles unleash a total of 34,200 sub muntions on the offending battery, and the surrounding square kilometer. Not a man survives the steel rain, or the follow up TOT mission another battalion of Crusaders.

Meanwhile an artillery brigade stands ready. Its 720 self propelled guns resemble Crusaders, but are of far greater size. Each in fact holds a single 203mm weapon and weighs nearly 95 tons. However it retains the Crusaders fire on the move and auto loading capacity.

Each fires five rounds per minute while moving, for 3 long minutes. 10,800 VX nerve gas shells burst above the positions of the SAC base defenses. Whiles crews crawl out of the low areas and don masks to complete there MOPP protection another unit fires, this time the autoloaders of 8 guns feed nuclear rounds.

120 2-kiloton nuclear shells obliterate every last phongn ground force within 20 miles
