Thanks as always Juju. Now finding a few slots that don't have corresponding icons so just going through them.

How can I tell you the name of the file Juju? Load up a QB and add a team using the Fj42? Erm, I don't have anything missing in mine but then I was playing with the Polish when I tested. Things that are missing - the Flak weapons obviously, and some of the HE shells appear to be different.

Yeah I believe this is right. That's why you would often see 'flak clouds' appearing in particular areas of significance, ie usually in the flight path

Do you even need to ask YES PLEASE!!!

Hmm you see I have tried that and it's not working for me. I've tried using underscore and - both to no avail. Curious, just tried it again with the underscore and it worked this time. Thanks

Holy thread reincarnation!!! Juju, I am dabbling with your mod using the Gustav Line, (for my own personal use of course). Most of the weapons work actually, but there's one or two that don't. I want to replace the Lee-Enfield No.1 MkIII in the game with your Lee Enfield weapon slot and graphic. Is it just a matter of renaming the graphic in the folder? I have tried and couldn't get it to work, so maybe I renamed it incorrectly.

I have seen the bug mentioned by AKD myself, but it has never been anything like 12 minutes to deploy. Would be interesting to see the save.

THe standard 1.01 is using v2 tech. Did you have to unzip the file first?

It *should* still work. CMFI is using v2 technology so the campaign should work fine. Where are you installing the file?

Well, the question is, what do you prefer? Fighting in the 'soft underbelly' of Italy (yeah right ) or amongst the deadly Bocage in Normandy? Both games offer something different. One benefit of Gustav (and there are many) is the AA vehicles and the slightly different challenge this brings.

Just remind me which one was the second mission? I haven't played this in ages due to beta testing and other assignments.

I believe they want it finished as soon as possible

I know it's a game but it also supposed to be as realistic as possible. Artillery was present in great quantities on both sides. I love using it, but I hate receiving it It's part of the challenge! If artillery is present in a small map scenario then you can be sure there is a good reason for it

Nice QB map :-) A monster indeed.

hehe Italian forces in CMFI are a nightmare and fun in equal measure.

LOL @ the one star rating

His current V2 interface works well enough in CMFI. Obviously it is missing some of the US weapons and all of the Italian armaments but the interface itself is very nice. Marco's interface is also excellent as an alternative and that caters specifically for CMFI.

haha loving this thread.. I recently lost an entire platoon to erm.. not so friendly fire and cataclysmic tactical planning. I called in one of those supposedly damn accurate air attacks. I lined my platoon nicely up against some bocage using the hunt command and told them all to hold their fire until they were ready. Platoon ready. Perfect planning and preparation I thought! I was awaiting my air support to soften up the stone buildings that were some distance ahead of me. I knew Germans lay in wait.. I just didn't know where. I wanted to expose them to my infantry platoon. Turn button pressed and within 30 seconds whooooooooooooosh. Two entire sections of MY platoon were minced and obliterated by straffing.. I desperately tried to reorganize the remainder of my men but they were having none of it.. So I thought damn that's unlucky. No way will flyboy miss like that again. So I decided to hold my position. He'll come around and see the Germans this time. I decided to expose a section and let fly with lead. Some German fire was returned exposing their positions. Excellent I thought... Next turn they're dead.. Turn button pressed and I could hear the Typhoon coming in for another attack! Go get them I shouted.. Whoooooooooooooooosh! Bomb dropped. Fanstas.......... Arrghhhhhh!!! Remainder of platoon wiped out by bomb blast. Unfortunately the bomb didn't land quite where I expected. All the platoon bar a few stragglers were decimated in two attack runs. Lessons to be learnt. NEVER, EVER use area fire near friendlies

Yeah you can't afford to send a lone tank into an urban area without infantry protection. Out of interest I wonder why the crewmen used to bail out into inevitable doom. Surely if the tank internals were not on fire/melted to oblivion they would stand a greater chance of survival where they were. To jump out like that into the street was suicidal.

If you have recent (ish) hardware and are still struggling with framerates you could always try overclocking a little. It can be surprising how much a minor overclock helps.

Roger that! I like bits of both but for now I am using the Tweak UI interface rather than the desktop one.

Hi Juju many thanks for the mod, it does look great. Just a question, with the Desktop version the menu selection is the buttons on a plain black background and it looks a bit odd. Is it supposed to be plain like that or have I not installed something?

It is far, far more than a patch. It adds new features and upgrades a lot of things behind the scenes. For $10 it is an absolute billy bargain. By the way, plenty of other companies do this too. Hearts of Iron 3 for one other game that I play regularly, charged a LOT of money for what some people deemed a 'patch'. If memory serves I believe it was almost full price, like $40 or so. But if you bought it you would see that in essence it added a whole lot of new features that changed the game considerably. Bottom line, if you don't want to pay for an upgrade then don't, but please don't moan about it, not without getting your facts right first

I honestly don't know if they're accurate or not Lanzfield. I've heard different sounds for the Panther gun but that was a high velocity gun. I really don't know if the 'thud' that represents that 75mm gun on the Sherman and MkIV/Stugs etc is correct.

I think it's quite surprising. I'm playing the Scottish corridor and the difference is amazing to me.
