I agree with this opinion. The math... not so much.Originally posted by Pandur:8 teams á 6 rockets!? would mean 46. 8 humvees on a range from 100m with 46 rockets with regular man. seems ok for me

btw
Do we have a Kilroy was here grafiti yet? It would be cool to see it in game, as it allegedly shows up all over the place 0.01 second after the first GI enters the conflict area.

Don't hate me, but I have to comment on this.
People have in the past called the RPG either too effective or not effective enough. And here's the trend I've observed in those complaints:
Those claiming the RPGs are not effective enough will give an example of them firing RPGs at vehicle X and it not getting killed. And the people that think RPGs are too effective will always relate how RPGs killed their vehicle X with ease.
It is never someone complaining that their vehicle X got hit with a gazillion enemy RPGs without it getting KO-ed. Or that it's entirely too easy to kill an enemy vehicle X with the players RPGs. Never ever.
Suck it up people, sometimes you are the pigeon, sometimes you are the statue!

Yes, BFC have already stated that, unless unreasonably laborious, fixes and engine improvements in one game or module will go in the previous iterations. Or sumfink.

-Allow the player to drop and pick up ammo in setup.
The frenzied shifting of squad carried anti-tank and machine gun ammo to that weapon's operator just prior to battle can be quite tricky to do in time when on the defence. It's a neat little detail, don't get me wrong, but without the option to distribute ammo during setup it's also a bit of a PITA.

This new behaviour caught me out unexpectedly too, once or twice. You get used to it though, and it does make sense. Especially with the SPGs you don't want them to turn to targets willy nilly, humbugging your carefully laid plans.
It does mean a bit more micromanagement of your AFVs, but this shouldn't cause too much headaches since your infantry need less constant hand holding now.

Oh, oh! I know! I know!

Was there anything else?

TCP works fine for me, and my ADSL is of a decidedly 'lite' nature.

England is famous for fog. Syria... not so much. Hence I suppose there is no fog in CMSF.
But haze is most definitely in. It's included in some scenarios but since I couldn't name them from the top of my head I suggest you fire a random scenario in the editor and change the environment conditions to haze or heavy/thick haze. Or selected haze in the QB generator.
PS
Could you reduce your images to a more forum friendly 800x600 by any chance? Thanks.

A particulairly easy scenario to see this in action for terrain is the opening mission of the campaign. Have part of a squad peek over the berm and engage a target. Their squad mates further back should move up the berm and join in.
-
Is there a wrecked or abandoned vehicle of any kind present on the map by any chance? It can merely be a ornamental civilian one but you'd still get that report from your troops. Never heard it otherwise.
-
Didn't 1.05 (or 1.04?) bring in the feature that the squad members with no LOF would move forwards/fan out so as to engage the enemy that his buddies are engaging?
Not what you are asking for, but perhaps better, as it's less fiddly. There comes a point where you should not give the human player more balls then he can juggle.
-
You might want to give a linear arty mission with the Infantry target type for the air burst effect. That'll clean those trenches out double quick.
But generally I'd advise popping smoke before you disembark and then unload directly on top of cover. and then don't move them about much except when it can be done safely.
Use the firepower your vehicles provide to smash the Syrian strong points and mop up survivors in the trenches. Also, cleaning the trenches on the road side of the fort is a useful thing to start with, the rest you can leave for later, when the fort is in your hands.
To what do you lose your Abrams though? If you drive them all on top of the berm at the start you should deal with the dug in tanks nicely. Then keep two on overwatch on top of the berm at your right flank. Don't get them close to RPGs, you can hurt them from afar, they can't. In some instances you'll need to get Strykers close to the action. In that case make sure every Syrian nearby is either dead or being suppressed by heavy area fire.

That's what I thought. The whole thing sounds the same but with guitar played over it.
-
Pity, afraid those savegames are too early and too late to see exactly what happened. But thanks for reporting, I'll keep an eye out for it.
If anyone sees something similar, please save the game immediately and send it to a tester or BFC themselves. Cheers!

The weapon they had equipped last, to be exact. Usually. Though in this case I do not doubt it.Originally posted by Wiggum:This picture should prove everything.
The dead Soldiers let always the Weapon fall what they used last i think !
You wouldn't happen to have the savegame of this incident, would you? If you could, please email it to the addy in my profile and I'll look in to what's going on. Something odd, that much is for sure.
-
Uhm, I'm not sure I'm following you. Who did what? For as far as I can see the US still has both AT4s and no CLU for a Javelin so couldn't possibly have hit itself with a rocket. Did you mean the M203 40mm grenade launcher? Smoke/dust seems to be a bit much for that, to be honest.
And M1a1, if you had been more observant you would have noted that Wiggum is playing the German language version of CMSF. So give him a break on his English, why don't you?! How is your German?
-
I would assume the air guard is fairly happy to poke their heads out of a hatch. The alternative being that they get out to protect the vehicle.
Though I admit that having the ability to button the little blighters up wouldn't be a bad thing.

Would it be churlish to ask what the man holding the gun thinks? Because his name is not Jacobson.Originally posted by Lee:

Most of the animations in CMSF are placeholders
I'll say I haven't spent a lot of time looking at the inf animations with a critical eye (too busy trying to figure out where to send them without getting them killed
), but still, they don't seem ridiculous or anything. </font> -
Feature. The MGS has rather problematic optics. Or so I am told.

I'm not an expert on these matters by any means either. So if at any time your computer explodes... I wasn't here, never talked to you. Who are you again?
Firewall and router aren't the same thing, so if you only set your firewall, that might be it. Check the manual of your modem (which is doubling as a router) it should have a section on changing your router settings.
-
MrGrey, did you or your brother configure your router to accept traffic for CMSF on the specified (7023) port?
-
Sadly not yet. I agree it's highly desirable, yes.

Yes, that should be done automatically. And it did last time I looked. I'll look again.
