Eh. I like the way BTS is doing things now. The last thing in the world wanna see is more uber-grogs debating "tweaked" armor values and such. Of course, I'd love it if BTS could expand a bit and develop two games at once.. or liscence their CM engine to another developer so I don't have to wait ten years to see a modern CM. Mmmmmm... Abrams and Bradleys and Challengers. Yummy. Or with the onset of the CMII game engine, allowing someone to go back with CMI and give us CM:Korea. I mean.. most of the units are already or will be there after CMBB. Just a few mods here and there, take away the Axis powers.. viola!

Or any time period against any time period.. like taking Panzer Is against JS-3s, if I felt like it. I think CMBB won't allow that. If Elefants were only on the Eastern Front from X to Y, then you don't get to use them at any other time. What if that timeline doesn't coincide with what I want to play against? Petty request, I know. But still...

I've looked at the website.. CMMC is kind of slow right now.. would like to see some action. Am willing to commit long-term if I don't screw everything up.

Maybe there should be a unit "panic" mode when a company or battalion HQ is killed? X number +/- 50% panic when the company CO is killed, Y +/-50% when the battalion CO buys it? I dunno.. what else can be represented in an actual battle with these HQ units that isn't already accounted for?

Is that the mag that is published, or somehow associated with the Aberdeen Proving Grounds' Ordnance Museum? If so, that's a great mag. I think I can get it at one of the chain bookstores around here. I have the Indonesian Army issue somewhere around here too. And the other historical studies that APG's OM do are great also - like the South African battle notes.

19..

Looking at that SU-76i model.. what is it? It doesn't look Soviet. By Kwazydog's mentioning of using a PzIII chassis for the basis, does that mean SU-76is were captured PzIIIs converted to be SP guns?

Thanks, you fantastic modeller guys. (I've never made it past the "hammer in frustration portion of the instructions )

A portion of these most likely wont make it in unless we do get some textures unfortunately. John, thanks for the support! We are getting some great entries and that has been becuase of the help of you guys Dan<hr></blockquote> This may be out of line, but would it be possible for you guys to put all these vehicles in, I mean the ones you don't want to include if you don't get submissions, without textures, so that modders can go to town on them? Maybe simply include them in the game engine, but don't have any scenarios with them? Or maybe have them in a downloadable add-on or update? Seems like a shame to leave so much stuff out just because they're unpopular..

LOL

Isn't this a breach of FOW? The enemy is listening!!!

So... maybe we can see the .bmp on a Panzer III now? Just to see what the in-game rendering looks like?

I haven't heard back from him yet, though. Some great models there. On The Way! I also emailed a Swede with some really cool models, including Finnish StuGs and the prototype Tiger.

This guy has a lot of great models - especially Romanian, Hungarian, and Italian. I'm trying to convince him to submit, he said he may only submit one or two. Let's try to be as unobtrusive as possible, yet still get him to submit more. I love his KV-85. Yum! Mini Armor Museum

Group 1: Has anyone heard from Cooper lately? I haven't had a peep in some weeks now.

Mmmm.. E-100s and Mauses would be fun to play with. I don't suppose there are any other E-series tanks (E-1000 anyone???). Also, if I remember PE right, there was no East Front version. Has this been rectified with mods? I only played maybe 50-100 hours on my roommate's computer two years ago.. I remember it was a fun game, but a bit frustrating at times. Where can I get the re-released version, if BTS doesn't mind my asking everyone?

Well.. CM already has particle effects - look at artillery explosions. Engine exhaust and dust seem like nice eye candy, but not terribly necessary. And I definately prefer the "shockwave" effect of guns firing and artillery impacting to the smokey fountains in PE.

Damn it. I should have been there. Curse my girlfriend AND MY STINKIN' LIBIDO! :mad: :mad: :mad: [ 12-11-2001: Message edited by: fytinghellfish ]</p>

Hi Major I'm a long time TacOps player - since 1994, actually - and am looking forward to TacOps 4. As a small request, if not for this version then a later version, could you add Chinese PLA units and weapons for the OpFor? You know, Type 59s, Type 85M-II, YW309s, etc. Thanks!

Very, very nice work. To echo Manx - is it CMMOS compatible?

Group 1 peeps: I haven't heard from some of you in a while.. as far as I know all my turns have been sent out. If you haven' received them or if you haven't heard from me, let me know. Here is where I stand vis-a-vis you guys right now: Redwolf: sent turn 19 today Rother: turn 6 sent SGT Gold: turn 1 sent Mare Icthys: turn 7 sent Cooper: turn 16 sent Lemme know if there has been anything wrong.. my connection has resulted in some missed/screwed up file transfers.
