Hehe, not exactly After the chechen declaration of independence the russian troops in Chechnya had been ordered by the Soviet leaders to remain neutral and not enforce Yeltsins martial law-decree. By the time Gorbachev resigned there was no possibility for the skeleton formations in chechnya to withdraw with all equipment as they were basically besieged by the chechens who had become very strong, and the russians didn't need a war at the time with all the changes in Moscow, so they made a deal to withdraw peacfully and leave the arms to the chechens.

This map is great! Very intense city fighting with huge opportunity for sneaky guerilla fighting from both sides in both gamemodes. I had a great time sneaking behind russian lines to blow three fobs as a militia breacher on insurgency and racking up 20 kills with the ppsh. The little shrubby peninsula in the middle of the river is a great thought and addition. Sound is very powerful on this map with it's fog, low draw distance, and plentiful cover / concealment for flanking.
The T 72 on AAS has almost no counter. T 62 1v1 is useless, mines are unlikely but best option, and militia HAT kit cannot do enough damage to the T 72. If you hit it with a HAT kit in the *** (should be the weakest visible point) it has enough time to pop smoke and retreat and can even take a couple of RPGs and still keeps rolling.
Is this by design or what? Because Militia only gets one HAT kit and it is just not enough to put him down in one shot.
They do him him constantly, the problem is nothing the Militia has can track him in one shot, FFG don't know what patch you did that in but it wasn't this one. The T 72 can tank anything the Militia forces fire at him and can keep going, pops smoke and retreats. I have hit one of those things 6 times in the *** on the same round, he pops smoke and runs, even after 2 additional RPG side hits. I think the Militia either needs 2 hat kits or nerf his armour.

T-62 AP shot to the side or back of T-72 will track him with a high probability. Same with the RPG Tandem HEAT.
Let's be upfront here - Militia is at a blatant disadvantage vs the T-72, and I think it's perfectly alright. It's not that you can never kill the T-72, it's just that if they play their cards right a T-72 can last a very long time and be a massive pain. The tools to destroy T-72s are there, but they are difficult to use and the T-62 is actually useless against the T-72 in the vast majority of situations. If you are trying to take a T-72 down with a T-62 you need to realize the odds are stacked against you, and accept that you are just one of multiple assets/weapon systems that need to work together to dethrone the king. This is exactly why people have an issue with the setup, pub games are not ideal for coordinating an engagement properly, it can happen but it will be more difficult with the "me me me" mentality that can be prevalent in pub rounds.
