When they said the TTD was British I felt a great pain for the guys who worked on the South African tech tree project. It's like if you were talking about the Merkava and called it American because it's in the U.S. tree.

[@samg1879]

Yeah I always feel Gaijin are always unfair on the British. Maybe I'm missing the obvious, but I feel like they didn't use the Chally 1 because it would do considerably better in some instances, and Gaijin can't have that.

[@chiefturion7134]

They said the TTD is representing Britain, yes they could have been more thorough with the introduction and say, "The South African TTD will represent Britain." How I see it is they probably didn't bother with specifics since they assume anyone watching these videos plays the game and is aware the TTD is a South African mbt

[@CCM1199]

I hate to tell you...as someone who was in the Cav for half my career, The Bradley CFV's function is to scout for the enemy target, fix them in place and let the Abrams move up and destroy. Its called the Hunter/Killer team concept. Their role is NOT to support but to move forward. Once they ID the target and the Abrams moves up, then and only then are they to fall back so that they dont get destroyed. Whenever they are in a Troop setup they move forward of the tanks and conduct a screenline defense and are out there all night observing the battlefield for enemy movement. If they can strike the tank safely they will engage. if its a small force they notify the rest of the unit so that they leave the hide position and join the scouts and engage on contact. Ive been in both the Cav and Armor Battalions, have done both roles in support of the scouts and Infantry. There has never been a time in my 18 years where a scout supports a tank from the rear. scouts lead the front since they are our "eyes and ears". Its doctrine....unless they changed the tactics in the doctrine which have yet to see publication for it....If Im not mistaken the bradley is also having a firepower upgrade soon. the 25MM bushmaster gun is being upgraded to a 30MM gun on a M2A3 Turret.

[@doktork3406]

Hey Jose Mercado. Thank you very much for your valuable information in correcting the misinformation shown in the episode. Our research guys do their level best to find out as accurately as possible what each of the craft manufactured was supposed to do as back up and attack. Any experience that people have had, as in your case is very well accepted and appreciated, so I hope you're not offended by the not quite so accurate information. I really believe the Devs will take this into consideration.

I would like to address an issue regarding the Ratel 90. In RB a fully upgraded Ratel 90 struggles to move at speeds of over 30km\h on grass, this is highly unrealistic as according to South African National Museum of Military History the Ratel 90 was able to comfortably move at a speed of 50km\h on rough terrain ( the comfort is referring to the crew's comfort when driving not the vehicle's performance capabilities as Ratel 90 was would move at speeds of 60-70km\h on rough terrain when in combat subsequently disregarding the crew's comfort as to not get killed ).

[@scottstewart3937]

please pass this off to the team for me, i would really like to see an immersive game mode were you can play as a ship commander, tank commander and pilot. it's one big battle that real people are fighting together to win in any of these vehicles they choose to play as. I just love the idea of not just having to worry about air craft or tanks or ships when battling but having to be completely aware of every vehicle around you simulating what it would have been like in those wars

[@feliksssander1554]

Question: since the bt series was able to drive without tracks, have you ever thought of implementing a feature where tanks that can drive without tracks are able to either select movement mode in the menu or if your tracks get damaged but not your road wheels you can wait five or so seconds to take them off? This could give some otherwise bland tanks a new trick up its sleeve and could be very useful.

[@heavytiger5807]

On the low velocity 75s (stubby gun) heat is best for the KVs. However once you reach the F2 using the standard shell is more then effective also you have a much faster tank than the lvl turret can rotate so use that to your advantage.
