US casualties were 4 times larger but I surrendered and still got a draw. Is it a minor bug? Or did my troops performed that well?

How about this: I surrendered to overwhelming power of Allies and got a DRAW! (I did kill 3 times as many tanks as the did...)

Huge tank battle supposedly in Poland's Studianki. Entire Herman Goering division was involved. The village was renamed after the battle to "Panzer Studianki"

Los<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> This is where duality comes. Sometimes troops deserted and sometimes they fought to the death... As far as I read conscripts were quite likely to desert/panic in their first 3 days of fighting and especially under artilery barage. After that they become quite determine to fight to the death. The problem was that many time raw recruits were thrown into toughest battles like the cannon fodder they were...

The soviet veteran squad should as good as german veteran squad! But normal battle should be regular/veteran german squads vs. conscripts/regular Soviet troops. This is how poor quality should be modeled - not by penalizing the squad fire power.

Let me quote a couple of them here: 1) Game is squed toward germans - most of their tanks have stronger shields or more lives then my american tank. 2) Why are there no powerups for my units? 3) Why can't I get the panthers gun after I killed it? Can't I scavange it? 4) Weapon choices are limited just guns really, no BGF or laser cannons. 5) I have not seen even a single labirynth like level. Even houses don't have any rooms!It is always open spaces. 6) I have not seen any interesting equipment (common in Quake) like jump-jets or grapling hooks.

I had tiger killed at 600 meters by hit on weak spot from that 40mm Dailmer gun. The problem was that tiget ignored the Dailmer!

The beat often SOVIETS (not Russians) at 5:1 because thats the battles that were advertized by their own propaganda! If you read some of the battle desriptions Germans frequently changed the numbers to their liking... Let me give and example of propaganda: "German new fully equipped divisions fought with the enemy hordes and withdrew with almost no losses. Now after reaching their new defense lines some of our batalions were down to 50 men." So suddenly units by themselves lost all manpower? Rather obvious lie. If you look at number of soldiers in the Soviet/German armies until mid 1944 soviets often had 3:2 advantage. Since mid-1944 2:1. In battle of Moscow Germans had the advantage (until mid winter) 5:1 battles in which Naziz won were frequent only in their propaganda movies...

A while ago BTS Steve promissed me Ferdinand in CM2. (I wanted to see it in CM1)

I can make a campain for u if I would be able to figure out what the losses were during the game. I would need Combat mission to dump the losses to the file or at least show them clearly on the screen (I have done campains before - I got some experience)

Lived In Ottawa. Now in San Diego, California. I just could not stand winter & taxes...

Hate started when I mentioned that Combat Mission was released on CC forum! I wrote 2 sententences only ! There were mentioning multiple 3D games and I mentioned CM. I was then flamed 10 times and CM was being TRASHED in every way. Soon CMers came to my help. Then CC forum people came to CM forum and Started to trash the game here. I loved CC3 - specially multiplayer... CC4 forced you to play repetitive battles on the same map all the time. PanzerSchreek was a super weapon.

Yes - vstavai strana narodnaia - Is a real WWII song you need. Red Army choir sings it - I got it in MP3 form. It is even better if you understand the words

What is the address?

Long discussion involved "Forgotten soldier" book and decision was that infantry cannot be runned over

See everyone seems to associate Soviet Union with Russians. But as far as I see there were no Russians in power there. Lenin was "mostly" non russian.

How many Soviet leaders were Russian? I am wondering... Lenin was not russian but some germam/jewish/mongolian?. Stalin was Georgian. Khrustiev was ukrainian. Brezniev? - No idea Gorbachev was Russian. Is this true? If it is sounds like Soviet union was not ruled by russians. Remainds me of late roman empire. (This is not racist KKK thread - I am just wondering)

Don't see much relevance

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Fionn: Sad thing is I've seen people espouse each of the views I've exaggerated upon above. Some people really think that CC's AI and physics doesn't suffer from having to share CPU cycles with its continuous-time engine. Others really don't see any major issues (performance or engine-wise) with switching from 2d to 3d or vice versa. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> True. Most people don't have much idea about how computer works and just don't see (don't want to see) or just don't care enought to see differences between CC and CM. Computer has to be quick enough for CM RT - but what does this mean? Is that 1GHz, 10GHz, 100GHz? At certain point you will be able to have AI, simulation and graphics running smooth with some idle CPU cycles... When???... Just to clarify: I can't stand clickfest games - where reaction time is everything. I was talking about 1/4 RT in order to CM not becoming a clink fest - not because at 1/x speed we can finally have real time. And if someone wants clickfest let them eat the cake. By the way I will support BTS even if they will continue current WEGO system - but I won't play multiplayer... It is the best combat simulation right now. PERIOD.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by David Aitken: Let's slow it down to a fraction of the speed! Yeah, that makes sense. A lot of point in making in realtime there. Worth all the time spent rewriting the engine. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> As ussual some people against RT totally miss the point. The idea is to give player a choice. No one wants to take WEGO away. For you RT might be useless. For others it will be a main atraction. It might push CM in mainstream. Don't you know you can also slow down CC to fraction of real time? Don't you see RT OPTION would atract more people? Why do you think this question keeps coming back? Not everyone want to play batalion size battles. I like 1000 points and very small maps. I don't have time for large battles. If you can make it real time you can change "RT speed" easily. So 2x, 1x, 1/4x or 1/10x speed easily is possible.

I am for REAL TIME. But it MUST BE AN OPTION. It is not possible to play large battles in real time. Up to 15 units RT battles might be fun. Bigger are not possible. You could slow down real time to say 1/2, 1/4 or 1/10. But for some battles it wil not be enough and I think there should ALWAYS be WEGO system included. In 18 months CPU will be running over 2 GHz. And these will be accesable. It is possible. But might be very hard to do is to rewrite code to add real time option. Actually I like playing turns against computer but against human it is just waste of my time.
