As an all-time fan of the great Pippu, I say we need to open up a can of Whup-Pippu on some people, first one being the Gnome.

Either that or SenileTea hated it to death

Scenarios in CMBB generally require more processor and the graphics are better, so a graphics card is essential. CMBO ran smoothly for me, but the large scenarios in CMBB really slow my system down and it's occasionally choppy too. I'm running a Duron 700 at present.

It should not have any adverse effects on gameplay at all. The thing you need to watch out for is if you install a firewall, be sure to set it to allow CM to pass through so you can connect to your buddy for TCP/IP play.

Try Franko's camera rules in CMBB out on the steppes for an interesting experience. View 1 ONLY.

That 256mb of memory also helps, compared to the 128mb.

I had a German heavy MG cause a catastrophic explosion on a .50 cal jeep in a game of CMBO I played the other night. One burst from the mg, and I saw the explosion from the other side of the map where I was watching an infantry advance on an enemy held position.

Watched a documentary a long time ago. It showed 2 German troopers with a PZF-44? (modern day RPG) inside a second floor room, and firing out a window. The backblast about blew one guy Out the window, and the second guy was knocked off his feet. Definitely showed that it is Not a smart idea to fire from inside an enclosed space

**Didn't Madmatt say the size of the tracers might be increased in the patch, also?** The tracer size will be increased as you use the different camera views. A tracer will appear bigger when using View 4 for example, so you can see it better.

Bu sure to do a serach on "Dell" and the problem it's had with it's internal clock and the turn number graphic in the game and such.

Nvidia Geforce or Geforce 2 /TNT2 32mb would probably be your best bet given the processor. Those are pretty cheap nowadays if you can find them.

I "think" that is being addressed in the patch. I'm sure one of the better informed forum members can tell us more.

T-72's? Combat Mission XIV, Back to the Future I know you meant T-34's.

IIRC, TRP's are only available in the first battle of an operation. I think I remember it being mentioned in the manual, but I'd have to check.

Yup, I can see the looks you will get when you mix up and say "I'm hit" when you meant to say something else

And if you notice... what kind reviewer does not look into the sources? Developer : CDV ?!?!? He obviously was not paying any attention.

Many people have made conversions of ASL scenarios. You should of course note that it is a conversion and give credit for it in the briefing notes.

Basically it cuts the engine to avoid being detected. Can't say as to whether it will fire, as I've only had my tanks hide while in cover so as to avoid being detected by sound contacts

You're talking about hacking into the code? Not a smart thing to mention on this forum, IMO. just in case though, Hi Mom!

ATI video cards do not support fog tables, which is what CM uses (both games). BFC doubts it will change anytime in the near future.

Yes, I love the movie. A great Cult classic, and I was a member of the Blue Blaze Irregulars fan club too

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before some mods for the unit ID's come out. After all, there were a ton made for CMBO. Patience young padawan, they will come.

If I recall, didn't someone do one for CMBO as a joke?

Once abandoned, it is for the duration. And that is something that will not be patched or changed. With the exception of Mods, CMBO development is finished, and work is progressing on the future <g>.

Would you really want the crew outside a perfectly good tank, right where any enemy mg can gun them down? I know if I saw what appeared to be a recovery attempt, I'd try to get a few shots off with something that might be in range
