In the Comanche series of games those mobil 20mm or 30mm AA guns always wreaked havoc with me. Pop over a hill and one of those MF's would paint you and start lobbing rounds your way. Before you even have time to get back behind the hill the 20mm rounds are smashing into you.

Extremly affective against low and slow flying aircraft. They must give A10 pilots nightmares!

If you think those are bad try this one on for size

Twins 30mm & SAM all rolled into one.

BMP's suck as in they aren't effective or they suck because they keep killing you? The thing has a turret like a Dalek

A form of psycological warfare against British troops? You be the judge

They suck because they are most affective at hiding and putting holes in my helochopter.

The joys of a low profile hull. Thats the interesting contradiction between most land based American hardware vs Russian. The Russian stuff is tiny. However in air transport its the other way around, theirs are gigantic by comparison.

Well the Russians really don't care about the crew so their stuff lacks nice features like amunition storage in a seperate compartment, armour, etc. Also crew comfort is a term thats never used.

Try complaining to a Russian commander that the T72 your supposed to drive hurts your back. He is going to be like you have two choices, drive it, or I can shoot you and find someone else.
