Rastak, Ya but atleast it didnt get put on the warez sites with a little red bow the first day it was out. Most pirating comes from store employees who get the game before its scheduled to be released, copy it, crack it, and upload it. More than a few times this has resulted in the game being on the web before it was even on the shelves. -Ray

I have spent 2 tours in Afghanistan and we didnt use any form of a "flamethrower" nor since I have been in have I been trained to use or even seen one. Not saying it wouldnt have its uses, but I would hate to be the guy who has to lug it through the mountain passes or be around him in a firefight. Just not practicle in this type of environment. -Ray

Hehe. Would have been even more funny if you had put a medal by his name on the board. But seriously, you should hire him in some capacity. He really knows his stuff about the subject matter too, not just what will be good ideas. And if it doesnt work out, you can always get the man to type something up. He does show much talent in that area. -Ray

Hey maybe DVG can make a medal in the game that if you type an average of 52,000 words in a message, you get say the DTC (Distinguished Typing Cross). I put in a commendation for Kuroi to get the very first one. Hehe couldnt resist. -Ray

Hehe Austin, its better to happen the 2nd game than in ALL games. -Ray

The bugs are minor compared with most games. BTS has a flawless record as far as support goes. You have a problem and they do all they can to rectify it. And so very few games are downloaded anyways. And wargames usually have a smaller community but with BTS games the ones who do play, play a lot in general. -RAy

A quick battle feature would be nice say if you want to just get on for a quick P-51D vs Fw-190A4 as long as it doesnt get tracked on the website, I dont see why they would turn off some potential customers to such a fine game. I think in time these folks may shun this feature in order to watch the role playing aspect take shape anyway. On the other hand though even if they dont implement it these folks will be missing a fine game. -Ray

The worst thing that could happen is to get shot down by a wingman with 2 IMD 2: Destroyed cards. Other than that, your comp is worlds better than mine and I ordered it.

Sadly the hacker sites dont need to get this game that easily. It is a shame that small companies lose so much off of this. I am all for the manual tho. I ordered the game on friday and the manual would be nice to print out and peruse while I wait. I think its in pdf form too... Maybe if they verify that you have ordered the game they could give you a link to the manual. -Ray -Ray

Heh ya man I found it and OTR and it actually works in XP. Cant believe gamershell doesnt have these classics. Too bad Fleet Defender cant be downloaded. I really loved that game. Hell I bought the new CD ROM for like $300 just to play it in 1994. I spent 5 grand on a computer to play Panzer General so 350 was a steal for such a fine game. FOX THREE!!! This will give me something to do while I wait for DIF in the mail. Thx bro you da man! -Ray

Oh btw, I think this game is gonna look far different when you get done with it if you keep listening to Kuroi. I think he should be designing games for a living even if he is a frog eater!!! -Ray

I am so for the added icons. I do really check quite often what a bot has in skills and sometimes I forget and have to go look. This would be wonderful IMO. I would very much like to see when a bot or player draws a card. Sometimes they have 0 cards showing but play cards and the zero doesnt change. Sometimes I think we gamers ask for so much, but I think I speak for all the rest of us when I say thanks for listening to us even after the game is finished. If only the Army worked like this.... Thanks -Ray

God that was a fun game. Kuroi reminded me of it in a different thread. That game is what brought me to discover CM. I had totally forgot that BTS had done that game. Man I would actually consider ordering that again if its available. -Ray

For me it was Desert Storm. Watching M1A1's in real life makes for lots of love.... as long as they are on your side. -Ray

Pierre, can I say a few words? MY GOD MAN YOU MUST TYPE FASTER THAN A P-35 WOULD DIE TO A Fw190. :eek: Hehe though ya that is a good idea. I can speculate just from my expertise in dealing with people, that if DV would try to accomidate this not only cause someone made the suggestion but also cause he had already thought about it with another game. It would be cool in a sense if it had a flowing strategic map like WWII Online does. I havent played that game since I was a beta tester but the concept seems to fit. If I had a computer that would run it ATM I would be playing I can tell you that. But I am not sure if this could be an easy thing to do for them and we may have to see just how much more they have to put in to the game itself with the add-ons and such. -Ray

Or you can join one of the 3 squadrons that already exist and shoot down Kuroi and his wingy!!! -Ray

WE DONT NEED NO STINKING CHAT UPGRADE!!! Had to say that hehe -Ray

If your laptop has the Sis (otherwise known to me as Piece of SIS) try to update the drivers at the Sis website. It worked for me. -Ray

Hi guys. I am playing on a Notebook Celeron 2.2 Gig, 512 Ram (448 after it shares with vid card) and a Sis Vid card that blows in Win XP. Runs just fine with occasional choppiness when its been on too long. Cant run CM but can run demo of DIF and Silent Waters and a game called Knights Online so sys req must be low....

How do promotion schedules work? I ask because I have a Major who is a leader pilot with 59 kills and 55 damages. The problem is his wingman is a LtCol who has 38 kills and 59 damages. They both have 71 missions and the leader has like 70 more experience. Now I guess I wouldnt mind if it just occured, but the wingman reached LtCol 14 missions ago.... Any idea why this is and wouldnt it be weird to have a wingman make full bird before his leader hits LtCol? -Ray

I stand corrected. :confused: And where are these magical plans located at? Think I have that Enigma machine somewhere around here.

Austin, I suspect you need to play the demo version. I think the full version does this in the abstract in the escort missions where if you escourt the bombers they take out the ships and what not. This is an aircombat simulation I for one dont see the need to shoot buildings after a hard battle with the Tonys and whatnot.

Austin, Yes pilots die and that will be an equalizer. In tournaments I suspect that they will have to take off the limitations so it really will end up being a best of the best situation. Just my opinion.

I was wondering how hard and if it would be possible to lengthen the number of alpha numeric characters so you could put nicknames and maybe a way to put squadron abbreviations at the end of the pilots name so you can see that the guy youre fighting is part of a squadron. Just a thought. -Ray

And you couldnt have picked an easier target than Stalin either!!!! hehe j/k -Sixxkiller
