Tanks will engage AT units because they are a serious threat to them.

Had huge success with Wasps in the past. Including one that could have one a medal of honor! The guy ran around waxing all sorts of stuff. Scored 16 infantry casualties, and 2 guns knocked out. A couple days ago while faced with an annoying "gun" that had raised hell with me, I ended up flanking and charging the wasp into position behind the gun. The "gun" turned out to be an 88. Too late for the 88 as the Wasp sprayed him big time and knocked it out. I like em!

This is per BTS in a thread a couple of some months ago, it would just take too long to do and they want to work on CM2. As to backwards compatibility, a big "maybe". But Steve says not to count on it.

Nevermind! [This message has been edited by Phoenix (edited 01-09-2001).]

Here's a couple of threads on the topic. There have been dozens of them in the past. http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/000670.html http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/001977.html

It has been discussed before and BTS nixed the idea. Don't expect to see it in CM2 either. CM is a game that lasts on average 30-60 minutes. The idea that some regular troops are going to run over and man abandoned weapons that were crew served is a bit of a stretch. Or did you plan on having spare arty crews in tow in case you find an 88 that happens to be working. Maybe in a FPS it "makes sense", but not here. Hell, with no training on foreign weapons (big stuff) I would imagine it would take a fair amount of time to bring the gun into use, and then at a reduced level.

Thanks Bullethead, that was most excellent!

It's not beneficial to continue this thread when BTS has already banned Maniery and his alter egos LeShawn and gay*lover. The sooner we forget about that moron the better. - Note he aleady posted over a dozen spams to the board. BTS has his IP logged plenty of times already.

Why would you bump this thread up?? Let it die.

Manx, great resource.....but why is the text so small on your page? I am unable to change the font size... I don't have this problem on other sites I read...

Holy cow. Looks great. But I noticed it appears the release is now Friday the 12th Thats right, the Day of Defeat Beta 1 Release Party has been set to start Friday the 12th at 3 PM EST. And following the party the Beta 1 Release will be at 7 PM EST. Don't miss out!

Looking for input from others about what the selection and use of arty. When and how you use it? Offensive vs defensive use. What caliber do you prefer and why? Anything else you can think of that would be useful. Discuss amongst yourselves.

BTS has said they won't be doing pre-orders for CM2.

You can't save movies in anything but PBEM games.

Nope. BTS is not making any further updates to CM now. Nothing beyond game play patches and the like.

Where is this scenerio, and is it any good against the AI, if so, what side should I play?
