If a square section of a field catches on fire wont the entire field eventualy burn? Im talking about a grain field in the summer when its growing tall. Its pretty dry and would burn pretty quickly. So why does only a small section of a field burn?

5m sounds like good close assult range. I know the grenades geet thrown at 10m, and isn't that the sign that the sqaud is assulting the tank?

Whats the range on those Gammon bombs? And are these similar to the Sticky bombs from SPR, or dif? And whats the rifle grenade range? Something like the what the Panzerfausts have (the range next to them) would be nice for Americans. Next prob. Had a a squad 5m away from a tank, right behind it, they throw the Gammon bomb and miss. Then why dont they rush the darn tank? Throw a grenade by the muffler (PzIVH with external muffler) Blow up the muffler, put a grenade in an engine hatch, do something. Instead they sit there and at 56 seconds get anhilated by the tank, which didnt fire at them for the whole turn.

M24, its tiny, its the light weght, its cheap. Or the M8, tiny, cheap, effective. Or the Stuart. I've achived excellent results with the Stuart: 6 251/1, 3 Puma's, 2 Lynx, and a PzIVJ, plus 34 infantry casualties, 2 mortars, and 5 captured. All in one game. I loved that Stuart. I got behind the enemy and blasted away the big armor, than picked off all the HT. [This message has been edited by ntg84 (edited 08-28-2000).]

The King Tiger becasue its the biggest beastie in the game.

Nice [This message has been edited by ntg84 (edited 08-27-2000).]

Here is a new German tank. Thats right a new German tank for CM. Its name: The Hollywood German Tank. Made from a basic Sherman, its what the German's used for WW2 according to Hollywood. [This message has been edited by ntg84 (edited 08-25-2000).]

I knew all that about only HQ to mortar, but was wondering if it was logical for the squad to report back to the Hq and then to the mortar

Ok thanks, that all makes sense. But what about a 60mm mortar attached to a platoon. If its under the command of the Lt, and a squad is under the commad, cant a squad spot for the 60mm? So it would go from the squad to the Lt to the mortar? Or just from the squad to the mortar?

Why can't an M7 be used for indirect fire like the mortars? Why cant Platoon leaders call in arty? They were taught how to call in a strike using a map. Don't flame me though, and don't yell at me for not doing a search becasue I did and it didn't help much.

It should have been Rudy's. But I loved how Sue tore into Kelly, I'd be scared to cross Sue any day of the week.

Lets say all the building needs is one more shell. So the vehicle fires that last shell in the 4th second of the action and there goes the building. Then the tank keeps firing and waisting ammo shooting at rubble. Sure a couple extra into the rubble doesn't bother me, but if you use an SP gun with low ammo load outs this can be a problem.

Is there intent in a patch to have a tank firing at a building to stop firing once the building is destroyed?

The Germans were really the only ones who sort of used them.

The KT is an older kit. I've heard that the new Tiger is very nice.

The only AA tank not in the game for the Germans is the Mobelwagen. Its got the Ostwind and the Wirbelwind, but no Mobelwagen. The Mobelwagen's numbers weren't to low, so they weren't very rare. So why no Mobelwagen?

Wouldn't those Zeroes be shooting up those little kids? I mean the Japs were pretty bad twoards shooting inocent people.

These turrets are really heavy, it takes longer to rotate a huge 15+ton object.

But I heard that all tanks have unlimited MG ammo

I read that the thing might have hit a WW2 mine put there by the Russians.

I was playing a great QB vs the AI today and noticed something about my Hetzers (which are becoming my favorite tank for defense) that the machine gun doesn't fire. I told the tank to fire at a target without the main gun and also had them unbutton so they could use the gun on the outside. Nothing happened. I had 3 Hetzers and not a single one fired their machine gun the entire game. Whats the prob?

The Patton Museum in KY is one of the best, I used to live in Louisville so a day trip to Ft.Knox wasn't bad, you can spend a day there just taking in all the tanks. Then I moved to VA, and am close to Aberdeen, about 3-4 hrs away, its got some good armor, but if they were to renovate, refurbish, and move everything in doors they would have a heck of a collection to look at. Problem is there is no funding for things like this, the government wont give any money, the citizens give, but its not enough. A nice loan from the passing Clinton adm would be great, with that 2 trillion dollar budget surplus just sitting in the hands of those weasel democrats. When Bush gets into office he'll give some of it back to the citizens, maybe some to fix up Aberdeen.

This will be like SWAT 3 and we will never see multiplayer support besides PBEM. J/K, I have lots of faith in BTS to get it done

Makes sense to me, thanks

How come it only shows 1 machine gun? Isn't it two? One firing forward and one on a swivel in the back?
