It has to be turn based. How difficult would it be in real-time?? A batallion sized engagment for instance, all played in real time. Crazy.. I like the turn based aspect too. It gives you plenty of time to pick your moves, to think ahead etc etc. Also, something I've been thinking about - I can't see how the units will work in the new engine. Take the 3-man graphic representation that we currently have - IMHO I can't see this working - it would look like Panzer Elite..

haha Columbus I've read that post.. I just can't picture something to be more successful and realistic than what we have.

Sorry to start (yet another) new thread reference this, but I haven't found anything relevant yet. What do you think we can expect to see from this new engine rewrite? I can't honestly imagine it. Not something this scale, modelled in true 3d. It would be massive, and surely virtually unplayable? The thing I really like about the current games is the 60 seconds on, and however long you want to plot your move. It will be interesting to see how you overcome this problem, when you have miles of terrain, and 3d scale units. I just hope it doesn;t turn into a close combat/Blitzkrieg hybrid

It's a tough situation to be in - glad I wasn't really there! I guess you have to try and make the most of your command advantages - You've got morale and speed on your side. I'd keep my units hidden for as long as possible and try ambush tactics in your case. You're never gonna win against KV's - not with 50mm guns. I like to engulf their tanks with men - basically I 'volunteer' a platoon to ambush a tank - I split them at the last minute and *sometimes* whilst one group of men is getting it thick and fast, the other group can run up behind and hit a weak spot. More often that not, their crew panics before I actually damage the tank, and they'll bail out, but it works for me.

Yes it can, *I think* you can set it to application specific in the same place you choose your AA options. Also, you can control it via Rage3d Tweak/powerstrip etc etc..

mid-late war german halftracks. The grey early war ones are fantastic. I'd like to see this quality on the dunkelgelb too.

Start from scratch - Switch computer on and then try running CMBB from the dekstop icon. Do NOT attempt to run from the install menu. As soon as you do so it keeps asking for the cd. This works for me, and for every other CDV owner on this forum.

Hi, rest assured this isn't an issue with the patch, more a problem with CDV's copy protection What I do, is insert the cd, exit the setup screen, and run from my own icon on the desktop. Runs first time every time that way. If I try and run from the install/play screen I get the same error you do. I should add, if you try and run it from the setup screen, it will always ask you for the cd. You have to restart the machine to get round it! Just use the icon on your desktop.

If you look at one of the CMAK screenshots you will see a jagdpanther. *I think* </font>

hi Makjager, thanks for the reply. I've installed a mid-war tiger (Jorge mid war tiger) and it doesn't show. I've tried an early war mod, and that doesn't show either?? So maybe I've got a problematic installation here?? But other mods are working fine.

Thanks a lot for replying. I thought that was the case - so why don't my Tiger mods work? Even manual installation of early tiger mods don't show in this battle :confused:

Operation Flashpoint is an old fav, but I'm waiting for Flash2 to come out now. There's too many things wrong with the original but it's still a good blast from time to time. I like the Medal of Honour series, and am especially looking forward to the Pacific game. GTA - Vice City is excellent stress relief. Thoroughly recommended. Looks and plays good on the pc too. Day of Defeat - pretty cool online WWII stuff. I'm waiting for Half-Life 2. This looks awesome.

I honestly don't think we'll see anything new apart from the obvious things like graphics and sound. Maybe they can tweak a few things here and there, but I'm not expecting mircales.

Guys, would you say, July '43, the Tigers were early, or Mid-war? I'm trying to get a mod for the tiger to work, and nothing is working out for me. I've tried early tiger, via cmmos, and mid war tiger mods from a variety of modders.

It's a weird thought. I was just browsing cmmods.com and I read the June 6th message.. There's been hardly a word about DDAY today and I thought it kinda strange - but it got me thinking, and I guess it's not one of these questions you can answer, but what would have happened if the axis forces won WWII?

That's right Sch.. The cache on the Celerons is the bottleneck. A new graphics card will look a lot better, and granted, it will be faster, but not to the degree he wants. If he wants something very comfortable with CMBB then he needs to ditch the celeron.

No new models, I thought the last and final patch was focussing purely on fixes?

This is a tad dis-concerting. I uninstalled CMBB in it's entirety. That's all the mods I had installed too. I reinstalled CMBB and it ran fine no problem. I installed all the patches in order, and it works fine no problems. So I wonder what was causing the 'minimise' error before? It's not the prefs file, as I deleted it. I'm stumped. Still, FWIW it's working fine now, just without the mods.. Could it be a mod, like the interface or something? When I installed the 1.03 patch first time round it asked me to restart the machine. What's all that about?

Right I've got a problem! Updated to 1.03. Now I've got that bloody minimise problem back. I've checked to see if that hotfix is back, and it's not, so I've not changed a thing, apart from patching to 1.03 and now my laptop version of the game will not run.

..It works.. it works.... WOW! Fantastic...

Here's hoping it works with the British cdv version. I'm trying it right now! [ June 05, 2003, 07:22 AM: Message edited by: phil stanbridge ]

Hello mate, to be honest, a 256mb ram upgrade will help to a degree, but the primary concern should be the processor and motherboard. You're using an old system with a 166fsb, which is limiting the performance of the rest of the machine. A graphics card upgrade will only heighten the problems you're experiencing and not resolve them as it will be wanting more bandwidth than it can have. I would recommend (if at all practical??) a motherboard and cpu/memory upgrade first. Even the cheapest new kit out there will be better than what you are using at present.
