    Must say..

    The individual-micro managing aspect is somewhat tiresome, at most, I grow stressed trying to control every single movement; its very difficult to do so at full speed, thankfully pausing is there. The positives: The damage charts for vehicles/tanks/people are pretty spot on. Ballistics *If any...I can't tell from 90+ meters above a battle field* seem to be pretty good, I damage targets, and vice-versa. So it seems that its working out alright...I need to test it more. Movement: I was stunned at the fluidity of movement from the beginning, stoked to see the terrain actually causes speeds to increase/decrease. Another thing I was blown away with was the pace of movement: Very fun, very fast, and balanced! -In regard to movement: Terrain, it seems that the terrain changes up the movement, this is a very good thing, especially with a game like this. Although, grid of terrain is somewhat frustrating/ difficult to survey from atop, I wonder if there will be any mods similar to CM' (Grid maps!) that will help survey from atop, that would be awesome. Firing: Firing is great, its like CM but way faster due to the constant battling. Pisses me off, but its fast... Actions stop and go so quick that it makes my head spin, to the point where I get frustrated, and realize to myself that micro-managing platoon-sized formations spread across a map shouldn't be so difficult! argh. Artillery/Heavy weapons/action of fire/area of fire.. These things should be highly effective, but unfortunately the battling is very difficult when things are spread about on the map, its a pain in my ass when you're trying to create a screen of fire, its somewhat troublesome since things start moving in directions you cannot follow (since our AI are complete morons...) adaptation is somewhat difficult. Thankfully we have the pause control. Defending and attacking are somewhat difficult with the speed/pace of the game. I feel like that is the only difficulty for me, and it isn't the game, its me. Just not used to it...Maybe reconfiguring my controls will help, growing more accustomed to managing my forces...and trying different strategies will benefit me in tow. I was thinking: Managing in squad sizes seems to be effective. Although, if its a defensive action it seems that your infantry are basically sitting ducks in this game, Artillery gets wrecked very quick, and your tanks...usually have issues...I don't know if it is me, or is the AI just god like? I will get better at this I suppose.
  2. The game feels a great deal different; for the better! Although, it seems that I need to grow comfortable with the gameplay, I am used to static, phases - Offensive Fire, Move, Shoot, Assault, Defensive Fire* TOW is very paced, which is nice, but it feels almost struggling since my reaction is very slow. Maybe I need to toy with the controls more, but all in all...Its a very nice update, great set of combat situations! Oh and I can't wait to fiddle with the editor. Thank you again, Enven p.s. Thanks Matt for the help.
  3. I've come to the conclusion (after three days straight of play about a week ago) that this game is truly horrid, and needs an overhaul asap. IMO: The ai is ****e, and the map is kaput (Yes map..all of them as so generic I forget i am in russia..or poland..or friggen west europe..) I have the notion that I am in candyland with this crap.
  4. Its a smaller unit rts...Pretty entertaining, kind of a pain in the arse to pause every 20 seconds to re-route or observe the terrain (great what you guys did with the IL2 engine), but overall, the controls are not difficult, not a real learning curve on that.. One thing I must say though; embarking troops onto tanks and actually making the terrain less (generic) would have been awesome, although...I am a table-top wargamer (FOW & 28mm ww2 games) this felt like I was playing a pc version of some static boards... Of course some work needs to be done, but all in all...Great work on this game, it beats a lot of the incomplete games coming out for pc these days! (Arma..cough cough)
  5. aha I found it! Delete this thread!
  6. Ok...I just got the game in the mail; unfortunately I don't recall the email..Or the code I received from BF...So now I am at the point where its asking for my license key... What the hell do I do?
  7. just got home from work and received my copy today!!! /Rejoice! -California (long beach)
  8. you're speaking in very 'cryptic' terms... Mother needs to go back to russia and rethink what she did...To get my crap in line
  9. I agree...Being constructive is very important. To bad I haven't gotten my crap yet. But one things for sure; my mother thinks I am truly a disappointment.
  10. Thanks. I am now content; I must fill my belly with food...and Download the game. Thank you.
  11. Where the hell are the dvd's? I refuse to do the digital download; and I want my copy shipped! They said mid-late april, and still nothing! Its may in a couple days and here I am in California still waiting for this crap. Yes; crap.
  12. When in the hell are the dvd's coming in the goddamn mail!
  13. I am waiting for a goddamn patch. Nuff' Said.
