i would certainly use a roster if it was there but i just dont think its necesary. i hardly ever use +/- keys, i find that my plans link my units together and so its hard to forget about a unit. as rosters are such a recognised thing i assume that it was thought of when making the game and therefore it was probably dropped as an unneeded idea. im sure BTS have taken our thoughts in, so try not to get too nasty guys,

No No No !!!
i say spend more time playing the game and you get used to marshalling your forces. start small with just a platoon and support , then company and so on . soon you should be able to keep large forces under control at your fingertips. as has been mentioned in this thread, a roster may be useful in games like CC where there is less info available onscreen, but is unnecessary in CM. its just such a fab game already it doesnt need any clutter.
less say , more play

the trick with any tank is to pick on something your own size. H39's are very good anti-lightarmour weapons and are very fast at sneaking to the back of the map and causing havoc, but i wouldn't put it head-to-head with a sherman jumbo

this happened to me aswell. just speak to matt and reupload it

looking forward to it buddy, getting some practise in on 800 pointers. do you think players should not be able to play all battles in a round as on side, ie play at least one allied and one axis batle??

i seem to remember ( dont quote me on this) that he had flanked a jagdtiger and was shooting at its side from just a few metres and the thing just pinged right back. serves im right for being cheeky i say

i've come to think of the 50cal as something of a god. can anyone give me any armour penetration values on it as it seems to be performing acts of magic on light armour

i have only seen tank and AT gun shells ricochet and they usually go miles of the map and not right next to the target, and they do map a noise. dont know if shreck/PIAT/zook shells will ricochet. i do love it when the ricochets hit something tho. there is one post around that says they had a stuart get a ricochet of an enemy tank and come back and take the stuart out- even had himself on his own kills list, this is very cool

"funnies" refer to a variety of tank variants used by the british army including crocs, flails, carpets layers and flame mortars to name just a few.

who cares if the graphics are not world record breaking, they are fantastic anyway. and when you consider how small the scenario files are for up/downloading and PBEMing what more can you ask for

for those of you who have expressed appreciation for my battle "I Love This War" at CMHQ thanks very much. i do have a slight obsession with bridge assaults as i find them tactically fascinating. there are some more historically based ones on the way so keep practising- as if your not playing enuf CM anyway. feel free to give me any ideas or improvements, the more the merrier

Ive been thinking for a while about this now and with every post i think 'but i like that one aswell'. though my heart lies with the sleek hetzer, for purely being a mean-ass tank the Tiger wins, its never going to win any all round tank awards but you just have to look at it ( i have a model on my comp) and you think'hers a tank thats purely there for blowing the *&^@ out of other tanks.....beautiful

this has happened with Eagles Nest, Saving Private Ryan, Eldorf 2.0 (nice fix by the way ) to name a few, and even happened with my own I Love This War, which i downloaded just to check if this happened. I use MacZip 1.0 and wonder if this could be the problem.....

BTS you the man, theres no higher praise than that

i'm wondering if this happens to anyone else. during a one on one tank duel mine and the enemy tank blast away for a minute or two, ricochet here, immobilisation there, and then BANG they get eachother at the same time. i know this is completely random chance but it has happened so many times ive lost count, its quite ammusing usually as it completely changes the course of the battle usually. anyone else found this happening
