    Game Engine V3.0 Changelog

    in Combat Mission Red Thunder

    Posted

    Thank you Steve!

    Those Changelogs can be a Huge Selling Argument for many People who come back. I remember once CMBN was released. Some of the Game was great. Other things needed to get better. I never purchased CMFI or a CMBN Module. Then the Patch 2.0 came out and i gave the Game a Second Chance (as im a Combat Mission Fan since year 2000) and its a Blast! Its a totally diffrent Game after the Patch and i highly recommend anyone i met to give it a chance or a second Chance.

    So a rough overview on what has been looked into would be a great seeling Argument i guess.

    write exactly what i think !

    ALLIED : Gustav Line BETA AAR Round Two - Eye of the Elefant

    in Combat Mission Fortress Italy

    Good to hear an original anecdote. And your Anglais is better than my Francais: ) Just a couple of queries. Was the gully to front or side? Was it a friendly tank? Was it unseeable in the gully from where you were situated? It might help me get a handle on RL.

    It was june 2002 in Ukraine army camp, near Odessa, there are lot of "balka" deep gully 20-30 meter Under. My men and i werre on observation post, we know a full tank squadron (12 Leclerc AFV) are moving on us.

    First we spotted the tank at 1-1.5 kil gaz smoke ! but suddenly they diseppears and we have to wait 10 minutes before they jump from the gully.

    Awesome and very dangerous, at time i think an AFV have rolled over one of my guy's !

    He was very Lucky, the Leclerc moved right on him but he have cool mind and rolled out in time.... Oupsss !

    I didn't have man over the gully because my team was only 3 and my order restrain me on an crossroad area. I didn't have maps and no intel about balka in this aera. When your're on foot all you see is a field flat like hand for kilometers, you found balka only at 10-20 meters.

    Another point, another time i was in Africa, it's real operations in urban aera, never have to shoot, but i maked some combat patrol in "hostile" zone, at the moment you enter the "zone" your are more vigilant than ever and i think in combat situation your are more good to spot than in normal life, perhaps 40-50% more !

    Anecdotes about headlights aside this is a live battlefield and moving large objects at quite close range - 800ft. I don't hold with it being a difficult spot.

    Non-spotting for non-moving targets for days or hours I have no problem with but not spotting vehicles moving close too!?

    Hello,

    Well i was a NCO in a French armor Rgt, i was in a recce platoon and i remenber very well not spotting moving AFV in gully before they moved out at 50 meters of my position.

    Normally you heard motors noise or see gaz smoke, but sometimes wind and sun are not with you.

    I think the CM spotting engine are good.

    In an WWII AFV you have not a good fieldview, you didn't heard anything, and your generally very busy on your work. not very easy to spot another tank on the field.

    Hope my english not to bad :)

    Morthomme,

    Earlier in the AAR thread, Bil explained that he purchased one specialist team "Propaganda Kompanie" detachment. A kubelwagen with 2 German soldiers, each with a Leica camera with 2 rolls of film. If one gets killed you do buddy aid and try to recover some of the unused film. If you buy veterans, then the pictures turn out really nice, like these. Don't ever buy green or conscript PK or in the pictures you mostly see their thumbs or the inside of the lens cap. ;-)

    Yeahh LOL :)

    Hello,

    I 've buy the CMBN v2.0 and found the manual v2.0 with my DL.

    So i began to read it, but i've not found change from my printed v1.0 manual.

    I suppose if it's renamed to V 2.0 they're somes fix or news, but i don't find them.

    Can i have some "hightlight' on the manual change ?

    Thanks

    Nvidia or ATI that is the question

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    There are four camps, with regards to which video card is best.

    1.) Nvidia owners who have everything working: Nvidia is the best!

    2.) Nvidia owners who have a problem: ATI is the best!

    3.) ATI owners who have everything working: ATI is the best!

    4.) ATI owners who have a problem: Nvidia is the best!

    The best advice I can offer is to see what your budget allows, find out what specs your motherboard/system have and therefore which cards are supported, read the reviews for specific problems (for instance, if you have the ABC Zultran motherboard and EVERYONE knows that the ABC Zultran doesn't work with the Hoodoo graphics card, don't buy the Hoodoo card. ;) ). Then add a large grain of salt to all you've read. Next, buy your card. Then add buyer's remorse bundled with a dose of "the grass is rendered greener by the OTHER card", and then acceptance. It'll work (whichever you choose) and you can play the game.

    Yeah !

    That really that, i'm coming back to desktop PC for running game in good sreen, i'm trying an ATI card at first (5750) but it had a big matter so return to the seller, so i take a Nvidia card (GT430) and all run well ! crysis and CN BN at full option on my 22' :)

    I have tried this ,but the Nvidia driver don't support this videochips, and my videao was very bad, with lots of error msg.

    On Nvidia site , they say mobile chipset or videocard was not supported by us but by the constructor, so for notebook no generic driver but only constructor driver.

    The more important is CM run, and this is right.

    Hi

    Well, i have a notebook :

    ASUS A6VM Q005H

    Pentium M740 1,73 GHZ

    Geforce Go7300

    1 Go memory

    60 Go HD

    So i can install CMBB and CMAK, i can launch the game in the first windows, scenar, campgain i can choose type and style of play, but when after the briefing i click the go button the game crash, i have a " blue window of the death".

    Do you know an issue to this big bug, i have read the troubleshooting file and found no solution.

    So if you have one, i'll be happy, after years of CM game this is hard time whitout .
