When you mix units of different alignments in HOMM3
:geordi-no: The Russians will lose morale after seeing how much better our tank blast doors are
:geordi-yes: The Japanese will lose morale after seeing we have a naval ship just for making ice cream
Someone I know told me the Russians were resorting to handing out old Mosin Nagants to troops
Call of duty 1 Stalingrad level of ignorant
Enemy at the gates was one of the most successful pieces of propaganda of this generation
literally just taking rumors about the sorry state of the Russian army in 1917 and transposing them into 1942
Can you give a brief synopsis for us non g*mers?
This is the posting equivalent of a drunk guy in the bar starting an argument on a subject he learned about five minutes ago. I wouldn’t even call this post misinformed, because I can guarantee no actual research went into it. Its more blind conjecture oriented around an unshakable belief that all things Western are inherently good, and everything Russian is trash, and extending that formula to everything imaginable.
The M2 Bradley, one of Ukraine’s latest wunderwaffe’s, is famously cramped (because they had to fit all the missiles and auto-cannon rounds somewhere) and even in Iraq never came with AC, or much of anything else in the way of crew comforts. Real life cross-section’s of the Leopard 1 also show that they’re similarly crowded and uncomfortable for the crew. By contrast late-Soviet designs like the BMP-3 or BTR-90 did make some efforts to improve passenger ergonomics with both featuring more cubic space and better stabilizers than comparable NATO designs, while also managing to fit in such quality of life improvements as toilets and AC.
There’s a WTYP bonus episode about the Bradley.
