The differance between CMx1 and "CM"x2.

[McIvan]

That was basically because of the "tank cowardice" issue which led tanks to back away, especially Russian ones, from opponents they could have defeated.

In CMSF, on the other hand, nearly everything stands and dies in place, whether it be Strykers with a .50 cal against a T72, or conscript Syrian militia against overwhelming firepower.

(In actual fact, I suspect some units are routing, but we don't notice - because a poster on the BF forums realised that the game handles routing by simply having the soldiers disappear. I guess it woud be hard for the code to handle individual routed soldiers fleeing all over the battlefield, so it just adjudges that they are gone for the rest of the battle and disappears em)

So, emmm, anyway, Spike will be happy as larry because his boys don't run.
