  1. Now I beat Remagen campaign great module.

    I can not believe that about three days later the Germans shelled the approach which had tons of vehicles in waiting to cross as the approach was exposed to artillery

    So many vehicles and tanks were hit by the artillery around the approach and town that bodies piled up many feet high.

    Why couldn't they find the source of the German shelling? That is insane and it was 3 days after they captured the bridge!

      Here is more stuff on Remagen

  2. I just finished playing spearhead as allies, major victory achieved. The campaign was amazing. I lost 2 tanks during the final Cologne battle one was a pershing hit by a panzerfaust 60 killing 3 crew near end of map the other was an m4a3 taken out by a panther earlier on. The other pershing I had was also put out of action with a panther shell hit taking out it's barrel at a distance, no crew injuries and withdrawn to rear. The Panther was taken care of by an EasyEight watching down a street as it was trying to escape a jumbo. In this campaign you will find many building that form a square with a courtyard in the center, and with that the enemy can be in any window, waiting for you to dare and cross the courtyard. I'm glad to have played this before Remagen campaign.

    I wanted to mention that It felt like the city environments ran noticeably smoother compared to other battles maybe the maps were smaller or did you guys improve things?

    I also want to mention how beautiful the building are. A lot of time and effort there, Sometimes I just pause for a while and view the woodwork/stonework. It looks like a trolley ran through the city? Was/Is the Appelhof platz an underground subway?

  3. Success as allies through whole kleve campaign, on veteran mode. I had some weird bug where the vehicles including bren carrier and jeeps couldn't be mounted or driven by troops. Other than that I would have liked to see some different variants of bren carrier. Not used to playing company level I like unit level. Battlefront lets you play right down to the individual soldier if enough time allows. Awesome.

  4. It was OK. Looking forward to more US side single battles.

    Saw tons of German troops with tripod MGs

    Saw no vickers  HMG teams for the british map after map only rookie soldiers with brens and noob bren carriers that shot 6 rounds a minute. faust, and panzershrek fodder.

    Palying kleve easy campaign and not enjoying it as british. as we go back to why there are no HMG teams for the british just a couple rounds a minute bren fire, but most will run away from even pistol fire.

  5. I honestly think the Locust did OK in the most recent battle I used them, slightly better than a M8 greyhound maybe and you can use it a bit closer, for there is no open top. Periscope for all 3 crew members in the tank and gyro for on the move accurate firing. I think spotting should be a little bit better in game. The locust gun isn't all that good but it does what you want to with half tracks and armored cars. Canister for clearing tough areas. Armor is terrible out of cover, but moving fast around edges of forests and hedges works good. Low profile made it hard to hit by soldier launched AT weapons my losses were all by AA/AT guns. Use to support troops or to soften up buildings and dense fortifications.

    Well it created empty folders for CMFB.  Its never been installed on this PC.  When I installed through Steam, it created them.

    I am not using steam version. I also had this problem but it created empty desktop folders inside the game directory. Weird huh? All were 0kb and I removed them, was afraid I would delete BF stuff.

  7. Ok maybe the designer based play ability of a lower skill set, I have played and beat all the combat mission WW2 games on veteran level. Win by the skin of my teeth sometimes and other times won big.  This is almost like a beach landing. but with no tanks or heavy machine guns for the allies. There is no cover and the cover you do manage to find is worse than what the enemy is using while waiting in ambush.

  8. Playing as veteran. First off the battle is labeled as medium, it is LARGE. I have spent countless hours as allies on wasps nests and taken 3 areas over successfully and still minor defeat. There are no tactics involved allies have no cover rushing into MG-42 and STG-44 nests (one greenhorn STG-44 nest took 32 guys down) The author really has to rethink a fair point system and not making it totally one sided also please  allow us to use simple tactics, instead of something like dragging all our troops forward before time runs out.

    I'm really enjoying the module for Final BlitzKrieg but have a question on whether the pintle mounted 50cal MGs on the Pershing and some late war Shermans are usable.  I've run several tests trying to get the 50cals to fire.  I've tried target light with tank unbuttoned, buttoned, and even a squad of tank riders.  In all cases, no graphic of the 50 cal firing nor does the 50cal ammo count ever decrease.  Are these unusable currently or am I just doing something wrong?

      

    Forget using open up command you'll get mp40 sniped.
