<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by dima: Every joke truth in it The bottom line is - with the success of CM BTS became spoiled ! They are 2-man team but everyone had to start small, even Bill Gates.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Right, but Emperor Bill was designing operating systems not a game <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Consider this - Everyone who has nVidia cards and Windows 2000 has a problem with CM unless they turn-on FSAA. They've been blaming nVidia drivers to have a bug in it. Since then, 15+ new drivers for nVidia were released - the bug is still there. When asked further info - no answer is given.

Always has been the case (BTW I have a PC with Win on it). <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>And now CM2. How nice it is to visit this board every day just to find out that some SimHQ has posted preview of it. While here they are busy managing new Peng threads.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> OK, BTS needs to reach out to new people to continue to survive/grow. So they have to outside sources to spread the word. We all know they're working on it. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Why so much silence here ? Without people here BTS will be nothing !<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Becuase they would spend their time answering questions about everything. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Unless they plan to release CM2 for X-Box and PS2 first. Actually I wouldn't be surprised now.[/qb]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Doubt it, BTS would have released CMBO for the PS2 right now to bring in all the money you can get. Why wait.

They usually consist of praise for advertiser's games, lack journalistic criticism, seem to play a game about 5 hours max. before they review it, and, especially, they wouldn't know an authenticism glitch if it had "ahistorical Bull****" written all over it. just my truckload of turkish lira, of course.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Not to knock your first point, but they are paid to review games, not be historians.

I would hope being able to type is sort of important in a chat room too.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by redwolf: I could track down flamethrower not firing problems to friendly units near it. They need nearly 180 degrees free in front of them for the first few meters, and still great angles up to their maximum range. Any friendly unit in these areas will make them holf fire (and stand up so that they are shot...).<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I had ordered a FT to torch a building where I suspected a German 44 rifle to be hiding. The supporting infantry unit for the FT was shot at and ran into the targeted building for cover. The FT didn't fire as it could see their buddies run right in front of them. It had no problems torching other building and I thought for sure it was going to light up his buddies.

I just imagine I'm in a Panther when someone cuts me off in traffic.......gunner target that blue pickup in front of us

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by StugIII: I'm in a situation where my opponent has an AT pillbox about 800m from me. The terrain is fairly open without alot of hills so he has a great field of fire and getting rid of this is a top priority. Without me giving away my force composition, I'm looking for the best tactics for destroying this pillbox.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Are there pockets of trees on the map? Consider smoking the gaps between the trees and then advancing from one pocket to the next to give some cover. Also what type of battle is this? If you're the attacker and the Victory Flags are deep into his area then as others have mentioned the pillbox is one element of his kill zone and he wants to channel your forces into an area he has designed to cut you up. If it's and ME, then most likey it's being used as a stand off weapon to cover the VF to keep you away from them.

Luckly no. Not to that level.

Very nice

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by panzerwerfer42: So how does a dinky little 37mm shell knockout a pillbox.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The 37mm is small enough to go through the slit in the pillbox.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Terence: When it works, though, its pretty cool. Im playtesting a scenario now that has one in a church. The gun actually survived long enough to run out of ammo, and really did a huge amount of damage to the other side. I thought it was really pretty damn awesome, especially for someone who has trouble keeping AT guns alive for very long.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hope they keep it for CM2. I've done it with AT and flak guns. Don't recommend putting them in light buildings as once they open up they tend to draw alot of fire and that light building they're in doesn't last long.
