    What I like about Dragon is it doesn't feel like 'cheating' from a gameplay standpoint, as opposed to Javelin which often felt like the finger of a vengeful god.

    US never bought the Dragon III, which had a newer sight with day/night capability in one unit. Dragon and Dragon II only had a day sight and you would attach an AN/PVS-5 (AN/TAS-5, just googled it) on the tube instead, or was it attached to the sight? (attached to the sight, then onto the missile, bulky as hell, not to mention the weight). Been a while. Anyway, never thermal, but passive night vision, so challenging when there's a lack of star/moon light

    As a former 11BC10 (med AT Gunner) in my first enlistment (1983-1985), I can tell you, the M47 was indeed a system that made one nervous with regards to reliability. Though we had a trainer, it failed to reproduce the initial launching shock of the missile leaving the launcher and the follow on "popcorn" sound of the 200+ small engines igniting to keep your bird on track with your sight. More than a few dumped their missiles initially because of the surprised popping noises and the new gunner trying to get the missile to rise to their viewpoint, rather than giving enough time for it to rise to the proper sighted crosshair. The biggest reward for firing the Dragon is you no longer carried it on your back...lol. Admittedly, I studied every WP armored vehicle poster, noting the location of engine compartments and vulnerabilities on the sides and rear of WP vehicles.

    Agreed, 110%. I have been a long time subscriber and even re-bought the CMSF2 series on Steam because I want to support the team. Looking forward to the updated engine that gets tossed around from time to time. I just held off on the latest "Fire and Rubble" series till the text issue could be sorted out properly. Admittedly, wish this could be incorporated into the install, rather than playing with options or waiting for the smarter players, such as yourself, that have a fix.

    Gents, you are awesome! The blurry text in this game and Black Sea, put me off to the point of not wanting to play. I purchased this one, in hopes the development team might have fixed the problem, however, to no avail. You have indeed put forth the fix I needed to succeed and dive into this newest title. Heck, might even give their WWII releases another look. 
     
    Thank you both.

    Try this to fix the problem
    Specifically, go to the CM root directory,
    find the application for the game (I tested this with SF2 and BS but I assume it will work with all title using this engine) and right click,
    click on 'Properties',
    click on the 'Compatibility' tab,
    click on 'Change High DPI Settings',
    at the bottom of the next popup under 'High DPI Scaling Override' click the checkbox - side note: the default 'Application' setting in the dropdown worked for me but you may need to try some of the other options depending on your specific system
    click 'Ok' to close the second popup and save your settings,
    click 'Ok' again to close the first popup and save your settings,
    play the game!
