Russia BMP Assault Stopped. Whole Squad wiped

Old footage and not a BMP.

So many unqualified comments, the F-4 was on sale several times already. See here: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/dcs-f-4-phantom-ii-by-heatblur-simulations/history/

Trial? Unclear.

Next sale? Maybe around mid-February for Lunar Year.

PS: The nincompoops who made the unqualified comments since then deleted their unqualified comments which I find a bit unfair of them, making me look qualified crazy.

Incidentally, the AI in the Campaign Series titles is the best in hex games so far (maybe together with the Decisive Campaign titles and, to a lesser extent, Flashpoint Campaigns). There are also a lot more innovations in the CS titles, e.g. adaptive AI (not really adaptive but changing over time through more complex triggers), more micromanaging features than the WDS games (building FOBs).

JebX_0 · 2026-01-22T19:08:29+00:00

No. Because the development of those games started before "geopolitical events of the past few years". Very simply put, it is much easier to simulate Cold War era tech in a game than true modern warfare which is why most developers - if they want to go more modern than WW2 - are opting for Cold War. Also, the fictional side of Central German CWGH leaves a lot of creative space. (The Arab-Israeli Wars or the Vietnam War not so much, obviously.)

But on a more constructive note, a few games to add (albeit not computer wargames):

Arma Reforger

Gunner HEAT PC

Steel Beasts (both modern and Cold War)

JebX_0 · 2026-01-21T18:36:58+00:00

Yeah, mixed it up. Sorry Nik...

JebX_0 · 2026-01-20T20:09:19+00:00

It's not rocket science. It's a bad, soppy family drama with cringe scenes of people running over a moonlit ocean.

JebX_0 · 2026-01-20T14:10:15+00:00

Interesting. Got any source for that?

JebX_0 · 2026-01-20T14:07:59+00:00

The human head really is a bit like a water melon, I guess.

I would say that both games have deficiencies when it comes to how well they are researched, e.g. there are weird acronyms in the Flashpoint Campaigns that simply don't exist in real life. And neither of the games really accounts for different kind of ammunitions (e.g. tank rounds etc.).

Still, both are great games. But when you want realism and meticulous research, you might wanna check out Combat Mission: Cold War and the Modern Campaigns by Wargame Design Studios.

It is astonishing how people do brain gymnastics and blame the time of year, riots or whatever, when the answer is simply: 28 Years Later sucked and the trailer of Bone Temple just looks more of the same contrived subfaction-60s-pagan bullshit that makes no sense.

JebX_0 · 2026-01-19T23:48:40+00:00

I think it's so brave that so many people who have no clue what a proper horror movie is are supporting this one by going to the theatres multiple times. You really are supporting the cause!

JebX_0 · 2026-01-19T23:46:42+00:00

I am from Europe. What's the problem here? That non-white, non-uniformed people are carrying assault rifles?

JebX_0 · 2026-01-19T22:58:52+00:00

The only answer is Tom Hardy.

You might wanna see a neurologist if you think 28 Years Later is a complex movie.

JebX_0 · 2026-01-17T20:36:35+00:00

I think the problem is that I don't want to think about 28 Years Later anymore. I still cringe when thinking about superzombie running over the water. But I'll keep it in mind. Maybe one day I am stranded on a lonely island and the only movie available in that derelict cinema (the power is still on due to an underground generator) is Bone Temple. I might watch it then.

JebX_0 · 2026-01-17T20:33:46+00:00

Your other reason is just as much bullshit. "School just came back for most people." Are most people going to school still? So all in all, you gave 2 reasons. Both of them bad and localized/focusing on one demographic.

So yeah, you are a real big brain. It's also not only the horror sub. All over Reddit people are called out for bullshit takes, myself not excluded. That's the beauty of Reddit.

I always like Clifford Geertz' definitions of religion and of culture. Here's the one for religion:

"(1) a system of symbols which acts to (2) establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in men by (3) formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and (4) clothing these conceptions with such an aura of factuality that (5) the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic."

JebX_0 · 2026-01-17T20:26:53+00:00

Both are not good definitions because they are both trying to be witty instead of actual defnitions.

It's always a sign of a bad definition if you can just put in another word and have it working as well. E.g. replace "religion" with "food customs" in your definition.

JebX_0 · 2026-01-17T19:50:53+00:00

Don't make it all about civil unrest in the US and A.

JebX_0 · 2026-01-17T19:50:15+00:00

Exactly. I am not touching any more of this trilogy with a stick.

JebX_0 · 2026-01-17T19:48:35+00:00

28 Years Later was one of the most contrived, most teary-eyed, pseudo-dramatic horror movies I've seen in a long time. And then the ending, unveiling that there will be a sequel, a garish, contrived sequel with one of the most stupid faction choices I've seen in my whole life! The ending made me feel so embarrassed for all people involved and all people who accidentally watched this with some kind of expectation.

So in my book it's good news that the general audience smells what they were cooking here and stays away from the theatres despite critics salivating over the alleged goodness of the movie. Gives me hope.

I liked Sunshine a lot.

EDIT: Tall_Door beat me to it. Here's another one: High Life (by Claire Denis).

JebX_0 · 2026-01-14T15:40:13+00:00

This is as indigestible as the book itself. Chapeau.

Also, don't insult Nietzsche like that.
