Other Means

BFC's attitude has always been if they release that info early it's a stick to beat them with as something might have to be cut out last minute. So no peeking I'm afraid.

I've definitely seen one - keep looking. Can't help with the name I'm afraid.

You know you can download and play different battles and campaigns already? There's a link to Webwing's outstanding campaign at the top of the forum, for the rest go to http://www.cmmods.com/ (and other places) Or make your own with the scenario editor.

"Kein Mensch - Kein Tier - Panzergrenadier!"

I agree with you Michael, I was quoting the article. Lets hope those massive steel balls don't rust in all that free beer he's going to get.

Sorry, didn't know to put this here or the GF. Lance Corporal Matt Croucher threw himself on a grenade to save his comrades. He survived due to his body armour and gear. Brave man. ...if you saw it in CM, you wouldn't believe it.

"Hey guys, your goldfish are dead."

I've found it very useful for RT, because you can set a unit off and give it a targeting order at the end, so you know what he's up to and you can go look at someone else. I've started using it more and more really - it's one of the features of the new engine that seems to have been overlooked but is actually really cool.

You can place a waypoint anywhere, click it to select, then target from that. Doesn't work in the editor though.

Not that I'm his mum, but BD6 was a US army intelligence officer before becoming a journalist so he might have a glimmer of how things work. Incidentally, and I hope he doesn't mind me saying this, Elmar was in the Dutch army before being retired with wounds. So it's not as if they're either of them are unaware of the reality of service.

Nice blur, really adds to the action.

BD6 hasn't been rude, in fact I think the debate has been remarkable mature on all sides given the depth of feeling everyone has. There's been no automatic gainsaying as in a trollish debate, just a representation of the argument from different perspectives. I'm enjoying it. In short: get to know people before calling them trolls.

What's wrong with the turret? Unarmoured?

Daaah dah dah da-dah-da-da-dah Daaah dah dah dah da-da-da-dah

This mod contains: "F*ing look at that!" "Enemy F*ing vehicle spotted!" "F*ing keep it down ya F*ing F*s!" We could rate them on tone, intensity, real-life quality and obscenity.

Sorry, didn't get the jist of your post. I'm commenting on the initial question of abstracted vs tracked bullets.

Maybe I've got a good imagination, but it looks to me like I see a bullet actually hitting a soldier to cause a casualty.

I hear by christen this "The Cpl Steiner clown car bug".

That Panther shot is a thing of beauty.

What card, drivers and OS version do you have?

Yes, I think so.

I dunno, if an IED had all that stored energy, I wouldn't be surprised to see it blow a Brad up at quite a distance.

I always thought it'd be easier to have acquire be: /snip/ Jav launcher + 0 missiles Jav launcher + 1 missile Jav launcher + 2 missiles Jav launcher + 3 missiles 1 Jav missile 2 Jav missile 3 Jav missile /snip/ A longer menu - but so what?

I'd like to see the return of all CM1 cover arc functionality.

It would be good if in Assault into a building with a spotted enemy, the soldiers threw grenades etc in before entry.
