    Michael you must think all people living here in germany are White you have another thing coming to you. I like to let you know there are roughly about 4 million Turkish people here! and those are who came here, there are millions of Turkish decent people hear who are born here. There are millions of other nationality people here.

    I must agree with puff on this one, REALAX you (and I say this being one) North American A. retentive political correct "OMMIEGOD" sue him" people. First of yes he could have writen it some other way for youse who may or may not be offended. I personally don't see you putting "viewer descresion advised - adult topics may be dissucsed" on all your threads. chill.

    RELAX. Jeez, I've been now 3 years away from all this "oooh step on eggshells" attitude from canada and I must be saying I am happy about it, live with it, he wrote it. you have a grudge about it take it up with your local Deutsche Consulat or Ambassy. :rolleyes:

    my god there are just "FRENCH" or "DUTCH" or "Put your nationality here" ladders and such.

    you people need to take a "relax" pill. lay off I feel sorry now for the lads who come in here who are not native to the English lanugage.

    Is The "General Winter" good for Finns and Soviets and bad for Germans etc in CM:BB?

    Oh look another, give the Finns and Russians better modifiers in Winter thread.

    look people did you see the German players saying "ooh ooh can you make the British troops worse since they haven't really worked out combined arms tactics, and the Germans perfected it!! I find it unfair that players can use combined arms tactics with the Allies, when in reality they were very underdeveloped!"

    :rolleyes:

    Abandoning immobilized vehicles

They fired their guns til the ammunition gave out.

    Michael thats just being plain intelligent!! I'm sure that could be coded in if they wanted to.

    Just like you give your infantry troops to run to a house with a HMG in it doesn't mean they will, they will just sit there knowing the better "death awaits us over that wall" and just like a abandon order for a tank crew maybe they will bail maybe not depending how heavy the fighting is around them. THEN again if our boys on that beach saw TANK after TANK brew up from some AT weapon I could damn assure you the commander would give the order to bail or the crew the choice to stay or have a chance on that beach to survive.

    I saw the beach last year Michael, wow.. wonderful city too! the streets are so damn narrow, if our lads ever did make a breakthrough they would have had a bitch of a time in the streets. The Brits should have given us more support, and I bet my Grandmothers Cousin thought so too as he was lost on those very same beaches.

Usually what you see in CMBO is the crew stays with the damaged vehicle even after immobilization or gun hits, until it get blown to bits, which is ok for kamikaze vehicle crews I guess.

    -john

    I would have to agree with Tiger on this one. I have had a many battles where the opponent did not even know of the tank, and it was immobilized.

    Very frustrating that the crew would sit in a tank that is so much a sucker to get wacked by some AT equipment.

    I just feel also the "abandon" order would be vital, just because the code says the crew sits in the tank wistling and twiddling their thumbs does not mean it's correct.

    And after being a crew member of a armoured vehicle, I can tell you. OK in Peace time you stick with your vehicle and await a recovery vehicle. In war time, we would bail and report the loss and head off back to camp if possible.

    CMBO crashes to a Type 2 error on me Mac now

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Posted

    Well... apparently there are a few corrupt files, er on the ResEdit thing I didn't know there was a checker to make sure the graphics could be checked for damaged forks.

    anyhow using MCM3 v1.6 to install my mods I have collected over time (nifty tool). Makes using mod much more easier.

    I'll get back to you if there are any problems after I max out my machine at home with mods.

    btw I'm using now at work 9.1 OS and at home OS 9.2.2 and OS X 10.1 (the OS X is fun but I suggest never try to open CMBO in classic form - it locked my machine up and good!)

That and I am on a 56k dialup so unless I want to risk downloading stuff at work, huge multi-terrain sets are not an option.

    WWB

    Ditto.

    and about that 56k modem thing, that's perdy much the standard here in Europe (nash teeth) and to fork over a few more Euros just to get 3kb/s more on ISDN is not worth it. To go DSL is at the momment very expensive too.
