  2. No problems that we are aware of in general, although of course there can always be the occasional slowdown if things are really busy. It sounds more like a network issue, though. Router, ISP? What browser are you using?

    ISP is Telus.net, router is a D-Link G3810 and the browser is Firefox. I've also tried with IE (won't connect at all) and Chrome (same slow connection).

    I've also tried rebooting the computer and the modem/router.

  3. Has anyone else been experienceing extremely slow loading times for the forum pages over the past week or so? I have been finding that it is taking the better part of a minute and a half for each page to load.

    I have a fast internet connection (15 mbps) and I'm not having the same problem with any other pages, only Battlefront. I had the same problem when ordering CMA and pre-ordering CM-NATO, although the download of CMA was fine.

  4. Playing the Abu Susah scenario by PBEM and both my opponent and I have problems with units which refuse to move. I have two Strykers that will not follow any movement orders and none of my infantry will leave their Stryker. My opponent tells me that none of his units will move either.

    I've tried canceling and giving new orders, giving different orders etc, but to no avail.

    Anyone seen this behaviour?

    Computing lead against a ground target is not that simple. Either the computer needs to be able to pick the target from all the ground clutter and and know that's your intended target, or it needs to know the difference between when you're tracking a target and when you're just traversing the turret.

    On ground vehicles it's common to let the computer adjust for range, wind, and the firing vehicle's movement. It's just simple if the gunner adjusts for for the target's movement. It might help if you laze to set range manually, letting the computer auto-adjust is quicker, but it loses the target range when you lead. [/QB]

    Its not that tough to do, quite simple really. Lase target to determine range, track for a few seconds then hit a button to apply the lead and fire. I'm not talking about computers automatically tracking targets, I'm talking about gunners manually firing at a target.

    Great set of scenarios, but they really would benefit from being linked into a operation.

    I'm on the second scenario vs a human opponent and I am having a blast playing the Canadians.

    UK carriers had all-metal flightdecks and most were converted from battleship or battlecruiser hulls, hence their impressive resilience. Think of the kamikaze attacks on them in 1945. US carrier hit - flight deck out of operation, hangar on fire. UK carrier hit - one ensign with a broom required to sweep deck clean.

    Actually, this is incorrect. The UK had one aircraft carrier converted from a battleship (Eagle) and three based on converted cruiser (not battlecruiser) hulls (Furious, Glorious & Courageous). None of these ships had armoured flight decks and 3 of the 4 (Eagle, Glorious & Courageous) were sunk, Eagle and Courageous by torpedos and Glorious by gunfire.

    Armoured flight decks did not appear on British aircraft carriers until the Illustrious class, the first of which commissioned in May of 1940. The limited aircraft capacity was the result of a number of factors, not just the armoured deck. Probably most important was Royal Navy doctrine that aircraft would not be stored on the flight deck. That meant that the size of the air group was limited by how may A/C could be packed into the hangar. Second, British CV's had fully enclosed hangars, that is the hangar did not extend all the way out to the side of the ship as it did with US CV's. This limited the size of the hangar and thus the size of the airgroup.

    Later in the war British doctrine changed to provide for the storage of aircraft on the flight deck and special outriggers were devloped to allow aircraft to be stored with the tails hanging over the edge of the deck to miminize the loss of space on the deck itself.
