    Criticism towards CMAK

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Played about 4 or 5 scenarios right now...

    Has anyone played those hmm I would say "Commando unit" Scenarios where you have to

    - Assault the DAK office

    - Assault some FLAK's at crete

    etc?

    They seem very difficult. Maybe I have no real tactics but it is difficult to have a good strategy when your forces spawn in front of the enemy 20m away.... :confused:

    Scenario of the Week: Line of Defense

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    I played Allied versus AI Axis

    I moved all my infantry to the woods at the hill on the right flank. They went there with good cover and could get to the forward parts of this wood facing the houses at the right score flag.

    60 mm mortars and .50 MG's were placed in good cover in the woody hills with fire line to the church.

    My Greyhound scouted the left flank but got shot down by a now identified AT gun.

    My Stuarts now approached with wood cover and knocked out the gun.

    While this happend, I concentrated all my Shermans behind the hill and my infantry platoons got into their attack positions in the wood at the right flank.

    I started the attack with full fire force out of the woods to spotted german positions. All guns blazing.

    My Stuarts broke through at the left flank and took out some infantry positions.

    After having serious firefights at the right flank, all my infantry started an attack wave direct to the right flag. It was victorious, the MG in the church was annoying but my pioneers captured them.

    My Sherman tanks rushed to the top of the hill and knocked out the enemy Stug.

    Intense wood and city fighting took place at the right flag but I could hold it. Until then...

    A german Tiger approached from the street at the other side of the river. He knocked out 2 of my Shermans and one of my tank hunters.

    I got a draw in the end, altough my Shermans were able to capture the left flag.

    This is a nice scenario, but wait - its the demo... Now I'm going to play the full version :D

    Hats off to CDV

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    I have no problem with the CD protection, game takes about 5 seconds to start.

    But the only thing that is annoying is that I cannot use this with my emulated CD drive, this would be more suitable cause I hate changing CD's (ok, I dont have to change this CD for months now :D )

    Hey €uro citiz€ns! BFC or CDV version?

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Although I prefer the BFC version with its SS and sig runes, I will buy the CDV Version of CMAK tomorrow.

    This has many reasons: First one, I'm living in germany so there is no chance to have historical correct games :rolleyes: and dont want to think about the correct arrival of my package...

    Ok, the main reason is, that I want to play this game NOW :D and I dont want to wait for long time for shipping and so on. The payment is another reason, I have no credit card (poor student).

    Black Screen Problem loading 1st time - need config file

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Posted

    Hello,

    I just reinstalled my PC with Win2000, with DirectX 9.0b and 44.03 Detonators, installed CMBB and patched it to 1.03

    BUT

    There is the bug I began to hate a year ago...

    When you start CMBB for the 1st time he scans your resolutions and so on, but I see only a black screen.

    I remember I solved this problem by clicking wild at the screen 1000 times and more and then the window appeared and CMBB run fine -> Config file (bb prefab somewhat dunno how its called) was created.

    BUT: THIS DOESNT WORK ANY LONGER FOR ME

    I klicked 1000000 times at the screen - nothing happened.

    So please send me a config file with resolution 1024x768 and 100 Hz at

    Nidhoeggur@gmx.net

    I forgot to backup my working config file, im so dumb :mad:

    Thanks to any1 who can solve my problem.

    I want to play CMBB, I want to see my Hetzers and my Elite SS Division :(

    Edit: FSAA is NOT Active, and Alt+Tab doesnt work !

    Possible solution of Driver issue?

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Hello...

    I have to use Detonator 43.51 for Unreal2, but with these drivers CMBB runs terrible (known bug).

    Has anyone tried to configure his PC with Hardware Profiles (under ->System) so that you can run Detonator 30.87 under Config1 and 43.51 under Config2?

    Is this possible to do with the standard NVidia driver installers? Is there any speed issue due to multiple drivers on you system?

    Well, I could try this, but I want to ask first if anyone has tried this before I frag my system ;)

    And if no one has tried, I will do so.... :D

    Bye,

    r0tten, little bit annoyed about this speed bug, NVidia and their drivers. :mad:

    Sound Mods

    2) I have patched 00005001 (weather SFX) but for some reason I still experience the static click noise when the sound file loops. Does anybody else experience this?

    Best regards

    Mr. Die Easy

    Yes, I heared it too. I looked at the file and saw that it was sampled in stereo. I turned it into mono and now it worked fine for me.

    Shoot and Scoot.. who uses it?

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    I think it is quite useful in

    a. Town tank engagements

    Where you pop out of an edge, fire, and go back into cover with your tank. But only to use if you suprise the enemy

    b. Ambush through hilly terrain with Stug's from flank

    I used this in several scenarios with my Stug III's to go to a shooting position on the top of a hill (best with partial cover) directly aiming to the flank of an enemy tank group. While the T-34 turned their turret and fired one shot to nowhere my Stug's fired and hit some T-34. Then they went in cover.

    Now I attacked with my main armored force from the front of the T-34, getting their attention.

    And now I repeated the Stug's action....

    T'was just an example (and I dont know if its good or not) but in general I use Shoot n scoot for surprising flank attacks where I want to come back to cover quickly....

    PS: Im no tactic grog at all...... ;)

    Several hours wasted - I dont get it.

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Ok:

    I have 900 points Mechanized German Infantry.

    But my Battle Group List says:

    Co HQ 1xAufklärungs Platoon 3x

    Pz II

    Pz III

    Pz IV

    One point:

    I can't buy my Battle Group Panzer in QB Generator 'cause Biltaid says I have Mechanized German Infantry and in the QB generator mechanized german infantry cannot buy Panzers. Thats one problem

    Second point:

    I have the Battle Group and then ADDITIONAL the Task Force with its 900 points I guess. But If I buy in a 900 pts game my Battle Group I do not have many points left to buy a task Force. !?

    Third point:

    If I do not use QB generator but the map editor I can place units as I like, after I used QB generator to automatically generate troops for myself. But THEN

    I count allied forces also to implement them as enemy in map editor and THEN I know what I am fighting against and this is uncool and boring cause no suprise.

    I hope ya'understand now. plz. fix or d00 somefink

    :confused:
