Beast from the east

Yep.... It's still one of the worst things that can happen to you.

And apparently a good number of those casualties happened at night. We've gotten much better since then though...

Third one, dunno but Im guessing its Israeli from the flags...

Sorry to wade in on this one but that doesn't look anything like the Israeli flag! :shock:

It would be the Argentine flag...

Well when not fully unfurled all you can really see is stripes of blue and white and theyre actually pretty damn similar really:

Now obviously they ARE different clearly when you can seem them properly but if theyre semi furled and hanging down from the flag pole it could easily be either! (both white with two blue stripes and a small symbol in the middle. It IS the Argentine flag in the pics but its certainly far from impossible to mistake it for the Israeli one from that shot.
 
Different coloured blues, only the Argentine and Greek flags use that sort of shade as far as know?

The blue stripes don't go to the top and bottom of the flag?

Ok I did have the advantage that I knew that was an Argentine tank so perhaps thats where I'm coming from...

Anyway sorry, I wasn't really having a go at you, I didn't mean that you should have easily been able to tell it was a Argentine flag, just a little surprised that you thought it was the Israeli one.

Sucker's got layered armor like the Brits, dude.

Been looking into this myself. Heard a couple of reports of M1's being disabled (not destroyed, mind, but for the kind of battles we are talking about in BF Evo, still very serious) by single 25mm rounds into the rear.

Also been looking further into Apache destruction - these things are falling out of the sky not just from RPGs, but also small arms fire.

The Target score is going to come down a notch on this :)
 
I think I might have a PPT on some investigations on disabled/destroyed Abrams from this previous war somewhere on my portable HD. If you want, I can ship it to you (pending, of course, a quick review to see if it's got any caveats or clearance requirements). I haven't heard anything about a 25mm round disabling an Abrams, but what can you do? Evil says he's heard of Iranian tanks destroying Abrams near the Iran-Iraq boarder... so, yeah.

As for helicopters, they're not supposed to be these heavy duty combat machines... (unless we're talking the Hind, who's sole apparent purpose is to attract all the ground fire it can)....
 
the british long bow has extra kevlar plating in it presisly to ward of small arms fire, but its also a bit slower acording to some sources. others say its faster with less fuel range.
 
Japanese Type 90

Korean K1

Paki Al Khalid

And Atomic Annie indeed!

=( They need an Atomic Annie for BFE…

Or better yet! A cnc miniature game….
 
Suspect we wont get Apaches for a while tbh, the Marines dont use em and theyre not a brittish design so proably wont feature for the brits (not at first anyway)

We will soon(ish) be getting Super Cobras and Future Lynx though :)

Maybe we'll get Apaches if/when the US Army get added.

Oh and what Id REALLY love are Commanches. I dont care if they cancelled the project its still the coolest looking thing EVER. And whose to say they didnt resurrect the project in the future :P (for that matter can I have some US Soldiers with XM8s too pretty please? :D)
 
i think Matt said the apache was too powerful for the game, around 500pts+ or something silly :D

would be fun in bigger games thou... :twisted:
