Interesting last few Posts. And NO neither Andy nor You made any such suggestion concerning Mine Drones

Now that I have a better understanding of Dons memory issue, I'll start with the mine drone issue as that started on 6 April.

Mark for informational purposes, in the "What happens in 2025? Thread Post 164 How the Russians had used said drones to heavily mine the road network Ukraine was using to support I believe a critical logistics center.

Post 165 Thought it was cool but made an inquiry about those mines. "No harm no foul" there.

Post 166 Mark provided said information and mentioned it would slow down the game.

Post 167 I posted this because I saw the "potential" based I what we've seen many times where someone would latch onto a piece equipment which in time leads to momentum building in the threads of "can we have this and if not why?"

And drones certainly have been "the flavor of the month" except in reality the last couple of years or more.

I stated many reasons why I felt it was a bad idea. I knew it would get Dons ATTENTION AND IT DID. Don and STEVES308 thanked me (And thank you!) without comment. I thought the matter would die there.

However, the following post involving the AI ANALYSIS of my post said the same thing I said and to be honest my first thought was WTF!

So, for the record Don has NEVER been shy in making a comment on my posts good or bad. When it's a simple THANKS I know he concurs with what I've posted. It's just that simple.

If you need an example of when I've gone a little "overboard" well that happened 3 days later in the APC Thread Post 742

He concurred with the data HOWEVER, not so much in my use of the English language. Just scroll down from mine.

MBT Thread Post 1957 I ("") quoted from the Polish Ministry of Defense from my very credible ref. and offered my inputs as taken from that post as well. See the following now with "Bold".

"These to some extents were the same factors why we kept pushing back (~4-5 years) the START/FOC for our M1A2C. The other factor also was that the USA required full training/qualification of the crews and number of Brigades that got fully equipped with that tank."

"We should not be surprised by this at all as noted above for M1A2C/SEP 3 and when I submitted the ABRAMS M1A2 SEP2 to a somewhat lesser extent."

"The comparison between us (Then) and Poland (Now) are closely related with the fact as well that neither of us were or currently are in a state of war that would change the ""dynamic" of what was discussed above concerning all to include FOC. "

The AI comes along again not once but twice to confirm all I posted.

Having a better handle on Dons memory in "Medium" area or more, I wouldn't expect him to remember that in dealing with both M1A2 SEP2 and what was still at the time M1A2 SEP 3 I posted from Dept. of the Army the official overview tank training document. That document broke down length of training for each position in the tank along with a general understanding of the training to be given. I could be wrong but, I believe it was more in line as a student orientation document.

But I suppose someone will just ask the AI if my memory is correct or not.

Hopefully this clears up some of the "angst" out there as this could've all be avoided.

And finally, I would request that the use of the AI to breakdown what I'm trying to say, mean or to fact check me in the threads stop.

The score is Me 3 the AI 0/ or "Nil" if you prefer as it covered everything I put in the posts.

And further as I put it out here just because I don't own a cell phone because of all the crap out there and they're just not that secure, doesn't mean I'm not tech savvy.

The AI has its uses, that being said for the more challenging issues in the game or other, you might want to take a DEEP BREATH and MAYBE just ask yourself "I wonder if he used the AI about this issue?"

Regards,
Pat
