I was just wondering if the graphics card has more to do with slow downs then anything else. I am running a overclocked celeron 566 at 700mhz with 192mb of RAM and Voodoo 3 2000 16mb graphics card. I get slow downs with 3000pt and above battles. 5000pt battle almost turns into a slide show. Im open for suggestions if I should go with faster graphics card or get rid of the Celeron and go with a 850mhz PIII. I cant go with anything above 850mhz for my motherboard.

I cant understand why people think the graphics in CM are so bad. For anyone who has played steel panthers the 3d graphics in CM are a real treat. Seems to be too many people who expect QuakeIII type graphics in a wargame.

You can always get cable or DSL connection if its available where you are. If you dont have the broadband access in your area like me you might want to look into a Shotgun modem. Downside is you need 2 phone lines for it but I usually get 90k connect speed on average. Not as good as cable or DSL of course but it may be several years before either is available in many areas.

I rather like the force feedback with the Ifeel mouse. Guess you either love it or hate it. Kind of like getting a hand massage. Mmmm.. that sounds a bit kinky doesnt it?

Viel Danke Heinz! I made that one into Desktop wallpaper. Turned out very nice.

When I saw your post I thought this was a joke until I read the FOX news release. Man these Schools are getting crazy with their over reactions.

Thank god it wasnt worse! http://www.theonion.com/onion3710/hamster_thrown.html

I had just seen Vertical Limit and was curious if anyone knew what type of artillery the Pakistan Army was using. Im guessing 203mm? If you havent seen the movie I highly recommend it. The Scenery and action is breathtaking.

Hate to burst your bubble but it was more along the lines of how those german Panther and Tigers beat the crap out of us. That is, until they received the Pershing.

AA Guns can even turn the tide in your favor against heavy armor. I was playing a QB against the Germans and was using a 40mm AA gun against halftracks and infantry. A Panther just happened to get in my 40mm's LOS. The AA gun starting fireing away at him at a range of 800 meters. I must have had him hide quite well in the woods because the now buttoned up Panther couldnt find him. By the end of the turn I had imobilzed him and by the 3rd turn the crew bailed. I guess they were tired of all that banging on their hull.

Do Aircoupes dropping Toliet Paper bombs count?

Reminds me of a movie where a gang of back robbers used a recoiless rifle to blow open a bank vault. Cant remember the name of the movie but I think it was made back in the late 60s or early 70s. Guess the cops must have been all deaf back then or the bank has some really good soundproofing.

Try Reverse. It worked for me but might not always.

I saw somewhere that an Allied Tank was chewed up pretty good by a Iraq ZSU-23. The ZSU was taken out but he had put alot of hits on the Allied tank. Anyone know anything more about this? I was just curious if it was an M1 that was involved in this.

I love the Stuart. Fast little tank that can do some real damage if used right. I just had one take out my opponents MkIV Panther. Very fast on target.

Im in a PBEM right now where I bought 3 of the Lynx tanks. They were just tearing up my opponents infantry. One of them took out my opponents Hellcat with a frontal shot. I lost one outright on a dumb move by using him as a scout without infantry support. One zook and it was bye bye Lynx. They are great little tanks if used right. Just keep them away from the heavy armor unless you can get them around for a rear shot.

Has the demo been updated to the newest version? I have the full game updated to 1.05 and was wondering if I could play PBEM against someone who just had the demo.

Im rushing to the video store right now to rent it! Im sure I will learn much about tank tactics in it so I use what I learn in CM. Tank Girl Is an excellent piece, I highly recommend it. Truly some awful movies have been mentioned but how can you guys pick on stuff like Red Dawn when there are the made for tv afternoon special rescue the mia's type warfilms that just blow. And the low budget Rutger Whore stuff... (godawful) My number one recomendation for worst war movie ever is THE PATRIOT. (or at least the most recently endured)

This one doesnt qualify as a war movie but how about Tank Girl? No, I havent seen it. Just curious if anyone had. I saw the title and just had to wonder.

You might just be lucky using the Firefly. I am in a PBEM game right now and had my Firefly set up just perfect for a 200 meter flank shot at a Panther. My crack Brit Firefly crew hit the Panther in the tracks imbolizeing it. The Panther was able to swing the turrent around, and take 2 shots at my Firefly blowing him to bits on the 2nd shot. The Firefly was still reloading during all of this! So much for a crack crew. BTW the Panther crew was veteren. Why does it take so damm long for a Firefly crew to reload when a Panther has time to take 2 shots?

40 Been doing this since the C64 days.

It will work fine on fog. I have the Voodoo3 2000 AGP. Just make sure you have the latest drivers. I was getting blocky smoke with mine until I upgraded the drivers. Made a world of difference. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by panzerwolfy: i want to make sure before i go ahead buy it, will the voodoo3 3000 work on fog<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

My wife discovered where the "ON" button was on the computer! Actually the best I could do was show her how to turn on the Frog Blender2000 at www.joecartoon.com which she thought was pretty sick but still kept on trying it.

For you CM addicts who have to have the real thing. Well, almost real. http://users.aol.com/ladung/BRUSH.HTM
