Actually I find that when going head to head the two tanks seem almost equal. The M4 has the advantage of fast turret and better armor (I've seen M4s richochet the Pz IV's shells at medium range), and the Pz IV has better muzzle velocity.

Warmaker, you are slandering the hallowed Tiger I mod that Kwazydog brought into existance with MDMP-2. You horrible, horrible man. Seriously, I still use that mod after all this time. Best Tiger I in my opinion.

I have Don Fernando's beauty of a Pz IV, no wire mesh. Before it came out I had Kwazydog's, the one in MDMP-2.

In most battles with bocage, the Allies will usually have tanks with Rhino attachments, and positioning your troops away from the bocage may not always be a good idea, since that way they will be less accurate in firing their Fausts.

I have to enter this thread, it wouldn't be right if I didn't input something. Wildman, are you sure that'll work? I believe Lynx's weigh more than the SPW 251 halftracks, so I don't think you'll be able to push it. But, it might work.

Gimme a tank on the German side, I don't care where.

Stop, you fools! Stop! You'll get this thread padlocked! We all want to hear the interesting commentary on the new pictures.

Speaking of conversions.... Who is doing the Early War conversion and what has he done so far?

To be honest, I would rather CM2 shipped with no winter textures and fairly bland vehicle textures, if it would mean we could have the game sooner. I think that our Mod authors could make good textures after the game is out.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here when I say that the Cover Arc feature is VERY reminiscent of a similar feature from CC3. That said, I think it'll be a great addition to the game.

I don't know how many times I've played Wild Bill's Ramelle scenario as the Americans, but I'm always galled by the poor performance of the fighter-bombers against the big, bad Tigers. The rockets seem to do nothing against anything but soft-skinned targets, even with direct hits on the Tigers they seem to do no damage. Reading some accounts of the Typhoons in the desert, I have read that the rockets were the weapons of choice against heavily armored Tigers and the like. Why are they so weak in CM?

Happy? Hell yes! We're like a big nudist colony here, 'cept we have hamsters. Hamsters GOOD!

Particularly difficult targets? Like a giant hamster? What tank did the Tiger have trouble penetrating?

i thought they were buried up to about the middle of their sides.

Hehe, no spoilers except the arse end of that....coughTigercough..sticking out.

Knew I had screwed up a digit. So are they basically the same preview, or is there enough difference to warrant buying both?

I want to make sure I'm buying the right month, so what does the Computer Games Magazine's cover look like. I mean the one that has the CM2 preview. The one I saw in the store had a sort of Viking holding an axe. Is this the correct one?

Ugghh....stop....teasing....me! Can't....take...much....more.... I'm gonna try to pick up the CGW at my friendly local convienent store soon. Guys who already have it, how many pages is it and how many CM2 screenshots are there?

Oooh....I want to be the first to PBEM him! How soon can he send me a setup? Congrats to you and your wife.

Actually, I believe that there's a special "elderly" face just for the Volksturm, which is the only exception to the "random" rule. So if you wanted old fogies with sunglasses, you could have it I guess. :eek: :cool:

I'll be delighted. Send it to user853818@aol.com please.

What Colonel Deadmarsh is REALLY saying is he'd like to SEE the CM2 manual first.

Everyone reading this should go straight to the Scenario Depot and post a review! They are good to read and can help people decide whether to play scenario A or B or C. And post back here what you reviewed. The Scenario Depot [ 06-08-2001: Message edited by: Bog ]

Ah, I'd say that's gamey. Smokin' a line is definitely not what the rounds were used for historically. Besides, I've always thought that smoke was done a bit abstractly in CM, and this is just taking advantage of this abstraction. [ 06-07-2001: Message edited by: Bog ]

Ah, I like the dirt, and it's definitely an improvement. I believe this is the first mod available for the Sd Kfz 7 series. But we really need a mod to match Tiger's flak guns!
