Try 40mm in the open.

Great DAR Elvis and thanks. The best part of the Classic Alpha AAR was the turn by turn breakdown. I know you guys are not doing it that way but it was epic like that. Sold me forever.

Not to bitch but I just played SNAFU and my Mk-19 caught the Reds in the OPEN again....and I mean OPEN. Rained 40mm all over them with minimal results. It seemed like you actually had to hit the soldier with the 40mm to hurt them like there was no fragmentation. I would rather just have HE effective and deal with the tighter squads. Much of the fun and realism is gone when you cant kill with HE. Now I know that the US can split squads and the Syrians cant (exception AB) but I still would like HE back. I play the Reds as well myself.

I can excercise restraint but I doubt my opponents will.

That is why I say it is a valid point. Borg IDing a unit to find out what it is AND what it is not from a glance as it charges up a hill or from 1000 meters away to too much info. It has been a problem all throughout CMSF and we were hoping for SOME fix in CM:BN. Seems we will have to wait longer. Not a deal breaker for me just something I was hoping got worked on. The point here, as stated a few times above, is that you can spot the "important" units and focus on them to "gut" the enemy. Or to put it in a phrase we have all read about in history books..."Captain! Cover those bars dammit!!! "

This has been discussed in another thread. Misidentification is out for now. It is just too complex with the new C2 system. What might be doable (in a later mod or patch) is some how "fixing" the instant ID.

Valid point. Very valid. No easy fix it seems.

Problem is they were already in the Flintstone age!

ahhh nevermind. I will let Steiner hang himself. It is just so boring and this is not the place for it.

If HE hasnt been nerfed like in CMSF!

I do not like it as a balancing mechanism. It really makes the HE have no teeth. HE kills. Period.

Why dont you monday morning quarterbacks take a break eh?

Well I think the nerfing HE stinks. I just had an enemy squad caught in the open by 2 Mk-19's (yes...I said 2!) that rained 40mm on them for 20 seconds with almost no effect. They have gone too far in the nerf direction here. This is not isolated either. I am seeing it all over. All I can say is please put it back the way it was. You know...where HE actually kills people?

Wow....ouch. After playing CMSF for so long where I hate to have even 3 casulties I am going to have to change my mindset on what it takes to win again! Time to hunker down and deal some payback!

Okay...show the unit but dont show the HQ? I dont know. We can all agree that knowing all that info with a glace is WRONG!

I hated tall structures in CMSF. I am looking forward to getting back to 1 and 2 strory buildings in CM:BN. I know you can build higher but not too common in Normandy.

I really like the idea of instead of misidentification we have less positive identification. That is to say I want the "?" to stay longer before I know the command HQ's middle name!!!

In CMBO if you had a squad right up against some bocage they could see a short distance through it. This may have represented small fighting holes in the bocage. Can we do this in CM:BN?

I believe they are in the process of bailing out. That is why they are facing that way.

Steve already answered. Basically no as they are not finished in this beta.

LOL!!! Thanks for the video Gibsonm. Now I get it! LOL! "Now if you have to design hats to fit those god damn missles then just do it!"

Flame & pigeons.

Ohhhh...ohhhhh.....maybe we can have a note when they are done for the day so I dont keep on refreshing like a nutjob! German....we are waiting your write up!!! SCHNELLLLL!!!!!!!

Gibsonm, What is "mission creep", if I may ask?

You would think a sniper would be better hidden.
