Slappy, that is funny. But the "Gun Damage" is not. (looks serious) ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

I can only answer from what I got from the games Jane's Longbow 1 & 2. Answer: Yes and no. (N.B. Technical data edited based on info from here: http://www.periscopeone.com/demo/weapons/missrock/antitank/w0003226.html ) 1. AH-64D can carry 2 versions of Hellfire, One is essentially laser guided from the TADS mentioned. And the other is MWR-guided version. I am not sure if they can be mixed since Apache can carry max 16 Hellfire missiles 2. Radar guided Hellfire can be fired in a mode called "Lock On After Launch" LOAL mode where the launching platform can release missiles when staying hidden behind obstacles, like a hill, between the intended target area. However, it is required to paint a specific target for the missile as terminal guidance. In the case of Longbow Apache, only the radar mast, mounted on the top of the blades, is needed to be exposed. The advantage is, it is very difficult for opfor the notice the small radar mast. Hope it helps.

Still waiting for the file. BUMP! ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Oh, I think Karch is talking about VRAM, memory used by the ATI video chip. I am afraid that kinda is not upgradable for notebooks. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

GREAT!!! Looking forward to it! Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Civil War? CDIC is not even an enthics Chinese! We have just good spirits and play good games. Agrrh, I think it is time to lock this personal stuff up.

Thanks! Just reply your email. BTW, any preference? Will continue this via email. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Slappy, That is the problem with PC Office, is it Office 2K you are running, that is a resource hog. You know, I have a good PB but since it has a ATI MobileRage-128 with only 8MB VRAM, I cannot display most hi-res mod nor any grid terrian. That is another thing BTS has considered when not going to fancy eye candies. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

Let me see if I could get it before lunch time so I can test it by then. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Ha, I bet snake resturants in HKG are way better! Glad to see your spirits is still up. I am checking out the latest MoBo based on AMD760 chipset. Any MoBo recommended? I have been using Asus all the time. BTW, how about a game? Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

WBW, sorry to tell you that 7 (real) hours before your post, Allied FB just smashed my 1st reinforcements and knocked out almost all AFVs in a pass. It hurts and I think I can hurt Allied harder! Eeeeeeeeeeee! Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

...and what is it??? ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Apologies accepted unless a 3rd party scenario article is to be done. Looking forward to another excellent article some time. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Yep Mace and GS, there you go: From Amazon.co.uk Just when I think I should never put money into ordering books any more... Here is another one: Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Any idea how much VRAM required? I may test it on my PB, please send me a copy. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Personally, I would like to see "75-rules" for QB in 1.13. But where is 1.11? Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Hey BTS, Personally I don't care about 32-bit color, my soreing eyes cannot tell the difference, they all look good to me. Remeber the old time when people upgrade the computer with each major release of Wing Comamnder series (at least up to WC3)? I don't think BTS right now is Origin 7 years ago. Hence I think BTS should focus on making CM2 a hit rather than handling requests on CM Mk.2 Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

Matt, Sorry but if it is already in the queue. "Gun Damage Problem" revisited I tried "August Bank Holiday v.2" last week and several of my StuG IV suffered "Gun Hit, Gun Damage". Their status bars all showed "Gun Damaged". However: 1. Ammo counter still remained. IIRC, piror to 1.1, ammo counter was gone when an AFV's gun was dyfunctional. 2. Order menu still had all targeting commands: "Target", "Targe Next" and "Smoke". Of course, these commands had no effect. Thank you for your kind attention. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Anybody is working on more Winter mod or is there any sites, other than CMHQ, I can find them? TIA. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

CDIC, where are youuuuuuuuu? I am planning to upgrade to Althon in the upcoming weeks and I have already got a 1.2G CPU and a cooler. When you see this ad, please respond to my new email address as seen in my profile. Thank you very much. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Hey, don't you see that we have successfully rendered (pun intended) this GB (GameBoy?) guy out of the picture? Thomm, I did not take Computer Graphics courses during my university studies. Shame. I think I can vagely understand what you are saying. As for SyW, they don't need as much view options and aspects as CMBO so SyW may play more interesting eye candies. Back to the topic: the question is not what current GeFroce GPU (according to Tom's Hardware, actually it is more powerful than current Pentium 3 CPU) can do, but rather how many CM players can benefit from it and whether the effort would be well deserved. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

But most of the time, combats occur >800m does not fair very well for Panthers and actually German panzers in general. If you do a little search here, you will see that sometimes little Staurt are very leathal to these Big Cats. There are a number of good tank slug fests and I would recommend in no particular order August Bank Holiday Magnificant Seven Elsdorf - The Encounter South of Sword But some of them are really large. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Here here people! http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/015600-6.html Hurray! Another possible early Xmas this year!!! When is the "beta demo" ready? Again, BTS, take your time, don't rush, I want quality software product. I will be exicted even if it is "early Fall, 2002". How hand me the 1.1 CD+Manual. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Urgh, you make me have the urge to re-install this good olddies again! I cannot remember if SyW has any shadows after all. Correct me if I am wrong. Some 3d titles trick you for getting better frame rates by : 1) blurring far objects and reducing their number of polygons or 2) using "fog" -- render the objects if only they are within view. I remember another title called "Shadow Company" employs the latter technics and they produce some amazing effects. Oh another one : "Jane's F-15" with its infmaous "breathing terrian". I don't know SyW uses any "tricks". Anyway, both are not good for CM, either. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

Thomm, From my understand, yes, there is one. GeForce 2GTS uses Transformation and Lighting (TnL) which "accelerates" the effect (light map) you mention. However, it can only handle 1 single light source. Check out Tom's Hardware (www.tomshardware.coom) and Gefore GTS guide in Sharky's Extreme site (www.sharkyextreme.com). The only game I know uses TnL is MDK2. This title uses OpenGL. BTW, how many CMaries have this piece of equipment right now? For me, I don't. I know some people's PC (pun intended) cannot even show fog effect! IIRC, DirectX 8.0 has TnL included in their API. Count me one as the one not complaining the graphics. And I find HL:CS better FPS than Q3A (but is Q3A really a GAME?) Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"
