    Ukraine General

    "Russia wants to start WW3" "It will throw all of the region into chaos".... You know Im never noticed it before but most modern conflicts have the same theme to them... Lets take assad for example He says that there are payed merceneries of the west in his country and the US is blaming Russia for stirring up violence and paying people to do this... Assad said that the entire middle east will burn if the west will attack his country and now Ukraine is saying that if Russia invades it will start a war in all of europe. Assad said that if the west attacks it will start WW3 and now Ukraine is saying that Russia will start WW3... Yeah this pattern is silly...

    Ukraine General

    So putin is maneuvering his military on the Ukraine border... The Russian Defense minister said today that: "Ukraines war machine has forces Russia to react" The Media says that its the same thing he did before he invaded Crimea... Lets see how this turns out.

    Syria - What should we do if anything?

    You're giving them too much credit... "Combat veterans" is hardly the case... They can fight for years but at the end all the nations I mentioned have militaries who are far more experienced and far better equipped and trained then them... Their time fighting each other actually might hurt them if they'll need to fight someone else as all their tactics and strategies are based on their enemies. Also they will be tired and they would make mistakes. Assads military is now acting more like a heavily armed militia then a proper conventional military but they are trained as a conventional military so basically they lost both options. The forces that have gained experience are Hezbollah (Because it didn't change it's role just added to it) and Al Qaeda since they are learning how to counter a low end military and other militias.

    Not with my points and just about Syria...

    Syria - What should we do if anything?

    Well I've been following the civil war in syria for quite a while (Im glad this forum allows us to talk about these sort of stuff since most others dont.) and I'm having the wierdest feeling that someone is going to intervene and by someone I mean either the US, Israel, Turkey, EU, France or NATO (Yes I named member states of the organizations but I mean only them) or the combination of some of them. Why? Well lets start with the reason why everyone but Israel and Turkey might intervene: Well according to France they have reports that Assad has been using chemical weapons since the decision has been made to disarm Syria from them. Remember the last time Assad used to chemical weapons? Yeah when Obama threatened to attack Syria... He didnt because well thats up to you to decide but if these reports turn out to be true then well what can the west do then? He already broke his promise now so what will be the next step? Holland (President of France) has already shown his will to attack Syria last time what will hold them back now? Now the US might be worried more about Ukraine so there is a slight chance that they wont intervene but the rest of NATO is more then capable of bringing down Assad... Turkey might Intrevene from 2 reasons. A) Turkeys president hates Assad and would love to take down his regime. B) To distract the Turkish people from the internal crisis. Now as for Israel: I've seen more and more reports lately that make me believe that Israel is preparing itself for a potentional intervantion in Syria. Yesterday there was a report on ynet (Israeli news website both in english and hebrew) about the IDF new training system for ground forces... The new system involves smart dolls (Yes not cardboard but dolls...) to represent Civilians and Enemy combatants, New and improved laser indicator for troops to use when mimicking a firefight... Now these are the changes that arent actually related to the situation but here are the ones that are: Israel is building a new training zone mimicking a Lebanese village which involves 300 buildings and some tunnels, Israel is also building fake Syrian outposts and yes they did say Syrian outposts for troops to train on. The IDF also makes plans to teach troops how to properly ambush tanks and use Anti tank weapons. The training involves coordination between Tanks, Infantry and Air support, which means they are planning to take outposts and clear houses. It also been noted that they are training tank crews to work in urban enviorment better and they said its "Runned down" urban enviorment meaning its been hit hard... Like the one in Syria... Now what I find even more interesting is Today Im unable to find the article... Meaning its been taken down. Why? Well I dont know but what I do know is, Israel has a law that allows the goverment to not allow media to publish something and can order them to take it down once they have so keep that in mind. Now I wish I could say thats all that has happened in Israel but a few weeks ago there have been other articles about an unknown high rank officer in the IDF telling his media contact that the goverment has been thinking over its "None involvment" strategy in Syria and has infact considered an invasion into Syria to bring down Assads regime and ensure Islamists dont take control. There has been no follow up to that but it was reported over some media sites, some Israeli some foreign. What also happened some time ago was that a road side bomb detonated in the Golan height while troops where driving by on their patrol. Now Hezbollah did take responsibillity for that attack and the IDF was well aware that it was it since like 2 weeks before there were reports that Israel attacked an Arms convoy to hezbollah while it was crossing the border into lebanon from Syria. Now Israel did what it usally does and just ignored it but also known that hezbollah might react. And so it did but what was quite outstanding was that after the road side bomb (I mean right after like a few minutes) Israel ordered artillery to fire into Syria. Now thats not a big deal Israel has been known to make a few attacks here and there into Syria which it did claim it was responsible for but after that at the evening of the same day, the IDF launched a big attack onto Syrian outposts and bases using Artillery and tanks firing from the Israeli side of the border and F-16s dropping bombs onto Syrian positions from inside Syrian air space. Israel claimed that they saw the Assad regime directly responsible for the road side bomb and also said that any further actions of this sort will basically be "Signing their own death sentence". Now everyone in Israel does military (Well Jews and Druze as for the rest its voluntarily) and so do I. Now I've been noticing something strange and so did some of my friends... Lately we've been hereing a lot of lectures which most are completely unrelated to Syria yet at some points during those lectures they managed to shove Syria in there... Now it would be fine and dandy if it was simply using Syria as an example but no... Like on an air force strike capabillity and how ground crews are just as important as the pilots lecture they said "The aircraft mechanics need to always be on the ready and must always do their jobs correctly because for example if the day comes when we need to bomb damascus we'll also need to counter the Syrian air force and for that the aircrafts need to be ready to intercept the (Syrian) migs, which make the jobs of the ground crews even more important" at that point I stared at my friend and asked him if he saw something off with the lecture and he said no. A lot of times we also get reports about the IDF training in the golan heights and coverage of the training... Its almost like they are trying to prepare us for the day Israel decalres war on Syria... http://www.bnp.org.uk/sites/default/files/images/syrian_war.jpg (284 kB) Another thing is (And I wish there wasnt so much because I am damn tired of typing) over the years of war Israel has been taking in wounded people from Syria some of them were FSA combatants according to foreign news. The Syrian people attitude toward Israel has been changing quite steadily through out this war from hating Israels guts to starting to think of Israel as a potentional ally. This was done: 1) because of them seeing Israel taking care of wounded which by the way the villagers near the border with Israel say they want Israel to intervene. and 2) Because Israel has been bombing Assad every now and again and although it was for its own interest the Syrian anti regime fighters see it as helpful. Israel might see this as a way to get rid of Irans reach to Israel because to be honest without Syria the Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah dont have much to go for as their main weapon supplier and their shelter especially againest what they fear being Israels nukes so Syria had chemical weapons to pose a threat aswell. It might also be a way to get to the rest of the Arab nations in the middle east as if Israel does help Syria theres a good chance for peace especially since an FSA leader said he'll be willing to trade the golan heights for Israeli assistance againest assad claiming "Its my land so why shouldnt I be able to trade it for military aid?" which Israel might want for the world to recognize it as Israeli territory which Israel did annex already but its not recognized by the world. Lastly theres hezbollah taking out Syria will mean the end of high tech weapons such as the kornet ATGM falling into hezbollah hands making hezbollah a lot weaker. Israel has been engaged in a media campaign againest hezbollah which can be seen in the youtube IDF PR channel or in reports about hezbollah doing this and that. You could say it also helps Israel againest the terror groups in the gaza strip but really they never pose a real threat to Israel in the first place. Now lets get to When this might happened: Well as for NATO and the rest its pretty much at any time really they dont really care when since Assads chemical weapons dont post a threat to the West unless they send troops in on foot. It can harm Israel but I doubt they care that much especially when every civilian in Israel has a gas mask on the ready and if they dont they can get one for free. As for Israel its pretty much only after Assad gets rid of his chemical weapons as I dont think they will risk him launching chemical armed scuds at Israels cities especially when he knows he got nothing to lose. Not even a threat of nuclear retaliation will scare someone who knows either way his going down so why not bring down his enemies with him. Even if Israel intercepts the scuds its not like nuclear warheads which need to be activated or else they wont explode even if they were intercepted, chemical weapons are gasses and would be released if intercepted resulting in the same situation especially if they would be launched and flown lower to the ground... So untill Assads weapons of mass destruction are gone I dont believe we would be seeing any Israeli invasion into syria. Now for something I believe some would wonder, would the arab nations (Saudia Arabia, Kuwait, Quatar and so on) attack? No. Why? They would risk their people thinking they are on the same side as Israel even though Im sure Saudia would love to stick it to Iran by taking down assad they wouldnt risk the Islamists within the nation starting problems. http://blogs.cfr.org/husain/files/2012/04/husain-saudi-military-04202012.jpg (116 kB) What do you think? Is an intervention coming? And who would it be? Post! I always love to hear what other people say!

    PL-01 Concept Tank

    Yeah actually followed its development for quite a while... I can see a few issues from it but right now its one of the best concepts I know of.

    Ukraine General

    So what do you think? Will putin invade east ukraine or is he just trying to scare the west by massing troops on the border?
  8. Looks like a mini hunter... I like it.
  9. Lets face it the MRAPs are not the future Humvees and the Hunter, Ifrit and Strider just dont fill that role very well... They're big and slow with only 3 variants and can be easily spotted... So my question is, will we get something else? Heres an example: NATO: JLTV By BAE, Navistar. (Down sized of course) http://www.paulbrian247.com/jltv_BAE_Systems_Navistar_Defense_joint_light_tactical_vehicle_United_states_002.jpg (104 kB) CSAT: SPM-2 Tigr. (Would be down sized a bit since its quite tall.) http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9066/94845085.d8/0_a89b2_bac6b3e0_XL.jpg (127 kB) http://img.favcars.com/vpk/tigr/vpk_tigr_2008_wallpapers_1_b.jpg (260 kB) AAF: The Sandcat. These will come with variants like the Humvee did in Arma 2. These are examples because I really dont think the current ones in game are doing their job. Now for the armored Trucks/Troop carriers/MRAPs. I believe they should carry maybe less troops but have more protection from small arms maybe even 50 cal... I dont expect it to stop a tank shell but I do expect it to not blow up if from 1-3 shots (I blew up the Kamaz like that because the fuel is exposed.) or be able to take a mine aswell. NATO: Cougar H (Long 6x6 version.) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6f/Mine_resistant_ambush_protected_vehicles.jpg (1398 kB) CSAT: Caiman. http://c9.ilbe.com/files/attach/new/20121015/377678/22041869/273842898/dd17df807a9da376278270836ad4160c.jpg (139 kB) http://www.armyrecognition.com/forum_pic/united_states/mrap_II_Caiman_US-Army_wheeled_armoured_vehicle_001.jpg (148 kB) AAF: Wildcat. Again these are examples of what it could be... I think it could add to the game quite a bit so thats why Im suggesting it.

    Ukraine General

    Unidentefied Ukrainian military officials claim that a Russian invasion to a town near Crimea has been stopped by the Ukrainian Army and Air force... As of now there has been no confirmation to these reports.

    Fix the Slammer!

    Oops double post sorry
  14. Yairweinberg

    Fix the Slammer!

    The turret on both the kuma and the slammer seems to be painted sponge as any hit to it will cause the tank to blow up. The Merkava in real life is way too op to be in game with the set up they gave the other tanks... But having it just carry troops to the battlefield with protection from small arms is not what I'd expect a tank to do. And don't get me started on the A4 variant... These tanks do need to be tweaked especially if they are actually planning to add that railgun t-100 god help us slammer users if that happens

    No the ultimatum is there its all over the news here. Ukraine either surrenders to Russia by 5:00 AM Russia Time or it will be attacked. This is getting very interesting.... http://www.euronews.com/2014/03/03/russian-navy-tells-ukrainian-forces-in-crimea-to-surrender---reports/ http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-03/russian-fleet-gives-ukrainian-crimea-forces-ultimatum-surrender-or-face-storm-ukrain
