    Infantry squad embarking on 251/1 halftrack bug

The simple reason is that the vehicles aren't scaled up as much as infantry because vehicles are inherently easier to see and inherently "sillier" looking when made too big. This means that the larger the soliders are scaled, the more chance they will have of spilling through the HT's sides.

    I've always used realistic scale and don't have a problem with it because you can still embark infantry and move them to positions. I just thought it looked weird and I didn't notice it in CMBO.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Infantry squad embarking on 251/1 halftrack bug

    I purchased some armored panzergrenadiers and after having them embark on their 251/1 halftracks discovered they are kind of half inside the halftrack. When you go down to view 1 you can see part of the squad is visible on the sides of the halftrack and their legs stick out the back like the halftrack has dual exhaust.

    I don’t know if anyone has witnessed this bug but figured I’d bring it up.

    Manual but no CD

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    I'm sure people should know the Cd will be inside the manual and not in a jewel case or shrink wrapped to the front of the manual.

    I knew about the Cd being inside the manual from when I got my copy of CM many years ago.

    I don't think BTS says on their website where to look for the Cd when it does arrive.

    Another CMBB Demo Opinion - Hello

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    I went back last weekend and played the tutorial scenario again as the Germans and kicked butt and knocked the two T34s out with the AT gun and beat back the advancing Russian infantry. I don’t remember what I got for a victory but I was happy and it was cool to watch the death clock in action.

    I’m really looked forward to the final release of CMBB because I have a couple days off at the end of September and I got a long weekend scheduled for October. I won’t be doing much except experimenting with CMBB and if anyone wants to start a PBEM or TCP/IP battle while I’m on my long weekend let me know.

    The tutorial scenario rocks! And I can’t wait for CMBB

    Any chance of a vehicle list for the CMBB area?

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    An official list from BTS on what vehicles from the modeling contest made it into the final release would be cool. I want to be surprised on what new vehicles are in the final product so don’t want to know every single vehicle in CMBB but would cool to see what vehicles I’ll get to use around 30 Sept or 1 Oct.

    I have a day off from work at the end of September so hopefully I’ll have a nice early birthday present this year.

    Any chance of a vehicle list for the CMBB area?

    I’ve watched my post from last week gets slowly vanquished to page 7 or 8 but that’s ok with me. I know its been a little busy around the old BTS forum and in the CMBB area but I thought it was a good idea and would like to see it maybe before the release of CMBB.

    I was around before the beta demo of CM and before they released the full version they posted a list of vehicles which had made it into the final version. I was just wondering if BTS is planning on adding a list of vehicles in the CMBB area before the final release version. I enjoyed reading the list and being very excited about all the different vehicles that were modeled.

    I also enjoyed the CMBB demo and the 4 hour 33 minute download wasn’t to bad but none of the scenarios that were released really stuck with me like valley of trouble or chance encounter. The person who designed those did an excellent job but who ever did the ones for the CMBB demo could have done a better job.

    I played Valley of trouble and chance encounter numerous times before the CM release but only fired up the CMBB demo that weekend and haven’t touched it in over a week because the scenarios were not exciting.

    I didn't have any problems running the demo on my G4 450mhz system.

    Thanks and I looked forward to the final version and designing my own scenarios.

    I enjoyed seeing the new armor in the demo but was wondering if there is a plan to release a vehicle list just like the one in the CMBO area?

    I really enjoyed the vehicle list and looking at my armor encyclopedias and dreaming about using them on the CMBO battlefield.

    The new screenshots were cool but how about some 1941 to 1942 screenshots of early war equipment and vehicles?

    Thanks BTS.... took me 4 hours 33 minutes to download the demo but it was worth the wait.

    New soviet ammo type?

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Look under new features in the CMBB area and they have a list of new ammo codes changes

    HE - High Explosive

    AP - Armor Piercing

    HC - Hollow Charge (HEAT)

    T - Tungsten

    C - Canister (anti-personnel)

    S - Smoke

    F - Flame

    What you saw was the T34 firing a canister round against infantry.

    Odd Question

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Infantry riding on the back of Shermans, tigers, Panthers... ect can't hide while riding. You can place hiding units on the rear of armor during setup while they are hiding but they will return to normal status after you hit go.

    The W is for wet stowage

    ( glycerine-protected), the ammunition storage area had a water jacket around it to reduce/contain explosions if the storage was hit and the ammunition ignited and howitzer-armed vehicles had internal armour plates on ammunition racks.

    I hope this helps

    Increasing AT abilities/effectiveness of rifle platoons

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    I know when you purchase a FJ rifle platoon or company, each platoon has a panzerschreck team attached.

    I also keep my AT teams a little to the rear until my rifle platoons spot a light vehicle or armor unless the vehicle is within range of a panzerfaust then I’ll try with one of those first.

    I don’t see any problem purchasing a few extra panzerschrecks when they were very common on the western front.
