  1. In an episode of Weapons at War or The History of the Gun on The History Channel, it was explained that the carbine was developed as a weapon to be carried by rear echelon troops and weapons crews. I presume that MG, gun, and mortar crews carried either carbines or garands as well as side arms.

    This must have been mentioned before, but what is the likelihood that any unit, whether a squad or crew served weapon, would run out of ammo in a period of 30 minutes or so? I'm just asking, not saying they wouldn't.

  2. I don't find it offensive to discuss gas chambers and the other horrors of WWII, but it is offensive to refer to them as JP did. However, BTS has tried to keep the discussion in this particular forum on the topic of CM. Granted, we do go off on tangents, but most people are not offended by the topics of vermin, favorite war movie, etc. Well, I guess some people are offended by hamsters.

  3. Do those explosion graphics appear whenever a tank it brewed up? I just took out a Stuart and the explosion did not look like that.

    I pasted the new files in at the same time as the new Tiger files, and the Tiger looks great, so I know I did it correctly.

    I have a brand new PIII 933 with a 64MB GeForce2, so hardware should not be a problem.

    Just Imagine, playing Sunday a heated PBEM game and during lag time of waiting for your next move..... sitting and watching an N.F.L Game on your Satellite Dish...sipping on your Favorite Beer...waiting for the good old sound from your computer....."You got Mail!".... so much time for your woman on that day! wink.gif

    Tomorrow is my first Sunday with NFL Sunday Ticket... I can't wait. At least I have CM to keep me occupied.

    I use the "incoming!" wav file as the sound effect for arriving e-mail. It scares the hell out of me if I am not at the computer and left the volume on the speakers up.

  5. I read stories where the GIs took advantage of the peculiar ( wink.gif) sound the clip made by dropping spare empty clips even though they still had rounds in the rifle in order to fool the Germans into thinking they were reloading. Or was this just in the movies?

    And in the Stallone chronicals, belt fed weapons can only be fired on the run.

  6. My mom made me wear pants like that (ship) when I was a kid. As a result I am a recluse that sits at home and plays CM.

    The Panzer (IV?) above was officially called the ChiaPanzerKampfWagon.

    Tiger, I enjoy your mods, historical or not. Is there a place we can see them all or a place from which we could download them?

    Ow, my leg!

  7. I play at the +1 level. I find the realistic scale too small unless it is a very small map, but anything greater than +2 looks like a sci-fi movie. I like Von Fauster's solution though.

    As far as your other points, I will withold my opinions on those topics because they have been discussed to death.
