  1. I was just wondering if the graphics card has more to do with slow downs then anything else. I am running a overclocked celeron 566 at 700mhz with 192mb of RAM and Voodoo 3 2000 16mb graphics card. I get slow downs with 3000pt and above battles. 5000pt battle almost turns into a slide show. Im open for suggestions if I should go with faster graphics card or get rid of the Celeron and go with a 850mhz PIII. I cant go with anything above 850mhz for my motherboard.
  2. I cant understand why people think the graphics in CM are so bad. For anyone who has played steel panthers the 3d graphics in CM are a real treat. Seems to be too many people who expect QuakeIII type graphics in a wargame.
  3. You can always get cable or DSL connection if its available where you are. If you dont have the broadband access in your area like me you might want to look into a Shotgun modem. Downside is you need 2 phone lines for it but I usually get 90k connect speed on average. Not as good as cable or DSL of course but it may be several years before either is available in many areas.
  4. I rather like the force feedback with the Ifeel mouse. Guess you either love it or hate it. Kind of like getting a hand massage. Mmmm.. that sounds a bit kinky doesnt it?
  5. Viel Danke Heinz! I made that one into Desktop wallpaper. Turned out very nice.
  6. When I saw your post I thought this was a joke until I read the FOX news release. Man these Schools are getting crazy with their over reactions.

  8. Thank god it wasnt worse! http://www.theonion.com/onion3710/hamster_thrown.html
  9. I had just seen Vertical Limit and was curious if anyone knew what type of artillery the Pakistan Army was using. Im guessing 203mm? If you havent seen the movie I highly recommend it. The Scenery and action is breathtaking.
  10. Hate to burst your bubble but it was more along the lines of how those german Panther and Tigers beat the crap out of us. That is, until they received the Pershing.
  11. AA Guns can even turn the tide in your favor against heavy armor. I was playing a QB against the Germans and was using a 40mm AA gun against halftracks and infantry. A Panther just happened to get in my 40mm's LOS. The AA gun starting fireing away at him at a range of 800 meters. I must have had him hide quite well in the woods because the now buttoned up Panther couldnt find him. By the end of the turn I had imobilzed him and by the 3rd turn the crew bailed. I guess they were tired of all that banging on their hull.
  12. Reminds me of a movie where a gang of back robbers used a recoiless rifle to blow open a bank vault. Cant remember the name of the movie but I think it was made back in the late 60s or early 70s. Guess the cops must have been all deaf back then or the bank has some really good soundproofing.
  13. Try Reverse. It worked for me but might not always.
  14. I saw somewhere that an Allied Tank was chewed up pretty good by a Iraq ZSU-23. The ZSU was taken out but he had put alot of hits on the Allied tank. Anyone know anything more about this? I was just curious if it was an M1 that was involved in this.
