Re: Fictional/What If/Parts Bin Units

Your M1A3 sounds like the specs for the new FCS. They're still debating 120mm vs. 140mm as far as I know, but they'll incorporate the 40mm AGL and advanced armor. Cool

Re: The Merkava 4 MBT

Yes the turret could move, but they limited the movement to a 20-30 degree angle or so. It was a neat trick, I was suprised to see it done. As far as I knew, the Army had not been practicing that...

Re: Problems with air launched weapons.

Loktarr is right. Cluster bombs and MLRS are most effective against unarmored targets. IRL MLRS is used against artillery, especially towed tubes.

Plasma makes a good point about the Maverick,...

Re: The Merkava 4 MBT

I just read over the website you forwarded, Plasma. The Merkava 4 does have a crew of 4, and it does have what I'd call a "semi-auto" loader. Each round is protected in it's own blast-proof box. ...

Re: Anti air umbrella in middle east

Re: Anti air umbrella in middle east

SAMs were able to deny Israeli air superiority in the first couple days. Note this is not the same as having air superiority themselves, the sky was a no-man's land. There are two different reasons...

I think the game does arty just fine. JaM said it, a little experience overcomes some simple difficulties. I was just curious about response times IRL.

Re: About Tactics when assaulting prepared positio

Punch the hole using Arty, mass engineers to clear mines. I do it all the time.
