Thanks for the great update,like alot of other people here I'm perfectly willing to wait as long as it takes for you guys to put out a quality product. But oh,it's so HARD!
-
This one has been brought up before and BTS said something about the way the game was coded. I do agree with you guys that it would be a good thing,since from my experience the PLT SGT was the one who really runs the platoon.

The U.S. Army does salute indoors,but only when reporting to an officer. It's also the only time we salute without a cap on. Except when under arms which is the only time you can wear a cap indoors.

I'd use the stomach pump just to punish the dog...

Don't you anti-geomites think geometry might have a place in CM? What about penetration tables or LOS calcutions? :eek:

I'd love a copy of 2.0.

Love that Ambush Cammo Pattern! It looks absolutely fantastic. Now hurry up and get it done! (pretty please with Panzerfausts on top?)

A loud and hearty AMEN! to that.

Don't forget the sour vodka breath on the Russian Commisars.

Depleted Uranium penetrators for the M242 did not become available until after the Gulf war. We were using Tungsten penetrators for the APDS-T.

According to some of the after action info I read from Trevor Dupuy, in Desert Storm there were several instances where the 25mm M242 Bushmaster was able to penetrate and BREW-UP T-55's from the side. So, regardless of CMBO's accuracy at modeling small caliber damage, it is certainly possible for small caliber rounds to f*** things up royally.<hr></blockquote>
I was there,on Bradleys and the 25mm APDS-T round did indeed knock out several T55 and T62 tanks.

A couple of notes on the .50 cal.I was mechanized infantry so I'm speaking from experience. First the AP round from a .50 will go through the engine block of a 2 1/2 truck,so imagine what it would do inside the turret of a TD or light tank. It wouldn't have to hit anyone,just lodge in the breech of the main gun or something equally as vital.One other note on the stability of the mount. We used the same mounts as they used back then and you'd be surprised how stable and smooth they were.
-
One thing I think might have helped the U.S. Army was a better training system for replacements. The troops that landed in Normandy had months to train and experienced officers and NCOs to lead them. But the replacements sent into France were dismally trained and often were sent straight into the fight without even a chance to bond with their new units.

There is a base plate left on the M1 rounds. Tankers say they make great ashtrays.
-
I can reliably state that CMBB will be out this year or next...I have inside sourses,just not inside BTS or anyplace that would have any real information.

If CMBO was the game that brought me into wargaming CMBB is the game that will keep me here! On to the Eastern Front!

I run with an Nvidia GeForce 2 MX and Win 2000 Pro,and although I do experience the problem a quick alt-tab restores the white to the screen. A bit of an inconvineince, but nothing to 'cause too much stress. The only time it's an issue at all is when it's time to read the AAR and the alt-tab fixes it right up.

The official Army nomenclature for a Bazooka is Rocket Launcher,Anti-Tank M1 BTW.

Just thought of this one,last time I was in Germany ('96) the ties were cement. I don't know if that was the case in WWII though.Just my $.02.

Didn't Magua do a complete Allied HT mod pack? I know all my HT's are modded. I remember what the originals looked like and my current ones don't look that plain now.

Is that a sausage she's holding?

Presently, do we still equipe our soldiers with flamethrowers?[/QB][/quote
The U.S. Army still has them on the books,although they are not part of an infantry units normal table of equiptment. I have heard the Marines still have them,but Gyrene may be able to answer that one.
