Okay talked to my tank friend and he said MarkIV you are a Loser On a more serious note. I think I tried to state what Kwazy said in that there are a lot of factors and coding would probably not be possible to do in patch form (maybe if CM2 code is backwards compatible). Also how can you say that a tank without it's main gun would not be used in it's anti-infantry role. Well in that is a load. Now how about a tank that is "brittle" like a broken inf squad. What this will allow is the tank to be inconsistent but still a viable platform. Again since we cannot do this right then why bother now, but we can discuss it and even have a friendly arguement that may find its way to enhancing the game in some form (see CM2). Our other option is to be quite. I do not see that happening. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

First of all sorry for the first post it was in jest. Second how about a fight between Lufty and Menschy for the title of Redneck Commando Supremo. Hey guys just because you sister/wife puts up with you do not think that your small impotent ideas will be tolerated by the REAL men on this board much less the REAL women. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

In QB's I find that either side can use manuevore to it's fullest. Yes the Allies have some faster armor but I find that the Panther and Panzer IV can run and gun (especially the Panther) better then the Allies. And I agree that Rommels ideas concerning defense in Europe where more in line with Monty's doctrine but it was a situation that somewhat forced this on him. Rommel was no fool. In Africa while the Germans and Italian high command wanted a step by step bloody holding action retreat Rommel wanted to bring his forces together in Tunsia and defend. Also a quirk is that Rommel loved mass AT guns. Not what us folks in CM would consider a highly mobile piece of equipment. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Thanks Micheal. By the way the book Knight of the Cross about Rommel is an excellent read. I got mine at Barnes and Noble. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Who cares who the dominant female in the WWF is when we have who is the dominant female in CM to watch? Kitty we still love you, but us grogs are a select bunch. To decide we will have you both fight to the death or at least until the cool factor of chick fights dies (sometime after never). In the immortal words of many sickos "I just wanna watch!" (please see the humor above and if you do not then my name is Roger Rabbit and if your lawyers want to find me they can in toontown) ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

I would say that such a logic change makes a simple code change impossible for it to work right. An Elite commander is going to deduce the problem well before a green CO but the fact of the matter is that 1 minute on the battlefield is a real LOOOOOOOOOONG time so to say that after not being able to fire for a minute is not realistic at all. Yes there should be a delay but gunner: Sir it didn't fire Commander: What! gunner: Sir she won't fire Commander: Damnit shoot man!!! Gunner: (presses button) Nothing sir!!! Commander: Damnit, Phillips get us the hell outta here Driver: Aye sir! 1 minute I think not. Remember there is a good chance they are not reloading during that minute but hitting the "bang" button. That does not take too long my friend. I will contact my friend a Tank driver and see what he says but 1 minute on any battlefield is like an hour anywhere else. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Ah but Rommels siege at Tobruk did not work (if you are referring to the first time) and didn't Market Garden end badly also (I may be wrong it has been a long day and I haven't read about the European front in awhile so it quite likely i am confused). A commander out of his element is usually at a severe disadvantage.

Lorak in that case I plan to use UBER gamey tactics. Hammie your turn is in the mail also. I am like Windows OS I can multi-task, the difference is that I work ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Hey hammie your turn is in the mail dude. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Lorak my taunt did not include you due to the fact that we have yet to even make contact yet. The one serious statement above was that I DO NOT always win and never state that I do. I was having fun with hammie who has answered the challenge. funny thing is that outside of the PENG thread I doubt i would be so boisterous. The second you stop respecting your opponent is the second you start losing.... ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Hamsters anytime my friend. First off small statements from small minds do little to affect me. Second are you in the CPX trial? If not then you may want to find out who is and what has happened to those who have faced me. Lastly I happily accept any challenge and though I will not lower myself to thourough subhuman rantings that I am undefeatable I will be more than happy to do my best to kick you little furry insignificant impotent ass all around a CM map. Feel free to contact me through email to set a game up. Agian I may not always win but I always play. Sir I have played Fionn and Hammie you are sure as hell no Fionn!!! ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

First off this is not the place to discuss the merits of either commander. This is more to the point of CM and it's players. In many walks of life you can draw nasic conclusions. Is someone a saver or a spender? A screamer or a moaner (uhm okay could not resist sorry, young folks just look away)? So now I ask are you a Rommel or a Monty in your basic approach to CM? Personally I started out a Monty but now am very much a Rommel in my view of tactics. I feel that while CM does not cater to one view or the other a persons buying techniques in a QB and use of equipment can be used to further someone's tactical style. My friend and I both buy lots of armor when we fight. I use there mobility to flank and manuevere while he uses them with his infantry forces as mobile strong points in a controlled and measured advance. I advance with thrusts seeking to find an advantage and then dive through weak points rushing past the MLR of my opponent and establishing an anvil that allows me to bring up my reserves as the hammer. Anybody else with ideas on the subject? ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Funny thing is I thought you were younger than me! By the way i agree to tomorrow. Alas the times of fate sweep up the old making way for the young! ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Kitty this has gone way beyond Obsession!!! ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Unless anybody has more Mods than I do can I be the MODPIMP. "All you ModMakers get out there and work for your daddy!" ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

In hotseat yes they would be invisible to both players as they use the same machine. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

No flame just the truth. If you load inviso mods on you machine and I load Bermans mods on mine. I still see cool Shermans and you are the one who sees nothing. Even though you are playing the AMI's ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Hey Lorak is Hamsters bothering you? You know we can take him. Listen for the next few days if anyone is going to pick on Lorak the Losing it is going to be me. Lorak my comrades and I are waiting.......

I have expereinced TCP/IP lockups and play at least 4 IP games a week. (MI-GO and Barnes I am waiting, not to mention that Lorak an a$$ wooping is iminent for you). Also Mark IV when you make an arguement can you please bother to back it up. Now whether you agree or disagree with Tanks a Lot at least develop a reason why other than you want CM2. Any development we find now can and will help CM2. My idea and gun damaged tanks is long and complicated with some logic coding that may be unfeasible for CM1 but may for CM2. Still to simply say well there is disagreement so BTS probably will ignore it because of CM2 is somewhat weak. A gun damaged tank should retreat when they realize the gun is unable to fire (this is not always obvious). So if a gun fires every 20 seconds then when the Gun does get hit and the crew is determined to have not have noticed then on the next fire attempt the crew could then react as the gun would not fire. Having a Sherman or Panzer IV die needlessly is stupid as is having a JagdTiger sucking up ammo hits. Niether is realistic. If you have an actual arguement then I would love to hear it but when discussing these topics nothing will be gained until we thouroughly discuss the issue first and then second make a logical arguement to BTS. Then BTS will make the decisions on manpower and priority. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf [This message has been edited by Priest (edited 03-06-2001).]
