Hi to all, I don't want to be mean, especially for a first post in this forum I am following for quite some time now. Don't get me wrong I love what I see and read and there is a very positive feeling in all the comments here.
So now for the comments:
1- The name of the town is "Le Dezert", not "Le Desert", (if you want it with accent: "Le Dézert"). Not a big deal as you see.
2- I don't have picture of how the place was in 1944, but I have one from today, and it was probably quite the same in 1944. But obviously it was MUCH bigger than this small map.

I read SO many people whining about realism, how many screws in the left wheel; would the radio react in 10 seconds or 20, what about the armor slope modelling or I don't now what else.
For my part, I request just one thing for realism: give us BIG MAPS!! This one is ridiculously small, the final picture of the Sherman and the Panther nose to nose shows it quite well.
If you want realistic Panther vs Sherman results (probably way more unbalanced in RL), realistic infantry casulaty rates (way lower in RL), longer battles (much longer in RL), just give us realistically designed maps, i.e. bigger ones.
If I want an arcade game, I don't play CM. If you want to give us a realistic "simulation", give us real situation. I can just imagine what would be a BF re-creation of the battle of Carentan with two companies defending a hamlet. I hope I am wrong about this feeling.
