  1. This is a good link explaining what reverse slope is meant to acheive: http://call.army.mil/products/ctc_bull/1-88/chpt3.htm So a basic summary of answers since I am not the long winded type: 1) Because you are outside direct observation and therefore the enemy cant bring direct and indirect fire to bear effectively. 2) "It depends". Depends on your weapons and positions. You would place the defense far enough away to maximize your weapons systems but minimize his. In CMBB Trenches are great for reverse slope defenses. Try them out in a QB. 3) It works as long as the defender has cover (at least woods or a foxhole). It works better if the attackers has no cover, but it still doesnt negate the advantages of the defense. 4) Yes.
  2. I bought a fighter-bomber for the novelty of it. His contribution to my assault was dropping his bombs on a crew of a already knocked out MG pillbox. Gee.. thanks.
  3. Wow, I cant wait to hear what happened Richie. Chris
  4. My Panther just picked up an invulnerability powerup, then I used a cheat code to give myself unlimited ammo.. FUN FUN FUN!

It has actually happened to me several times in that scenario. I've had several trucks do that too (going over to where the 50mm AT starts). Try to explain that one :eek:<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Im betting you were doing a fast move, try the same thing with a move command. With Fast move I get immobilized a lot, but never in AON with just move. Speed is a factor.

If you were to wear large patches of black and white, someone looking straight at you in the dark from a couple of metres away wouldn't be able to work out what they're seeing. In the dark a person appears as a dark shadow, so if they had big white blotches the shadow would be broken up and they'd be unidentifiable. [QB]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yup, when plaing it didnt matter much what a person wore as long as it was relatively dark with some light splotches (white t-shirts would tend to flouresce under the moonlight). The british night camo works relatively well I must say with its dark black and lighter lavender.. it also looks cool in the daylight .. some people would play with all black fatigues but when moving or in the open they were pretty easy to spot, but if they got in next to a tree trunk they were invisible. One night I used American desert "chocolate chip" fatigues. It helped me much more to not become a dark splotch against a light background (most of the long grass during that time in Socal was a golden/light brown). It worked well, but was only concealment, I had no cover but I could work my way across fields where my darker clad counterparts were getting picked off. It really can be quite fun, but honestly the same effect can be had by using flashlights to tag someone vs a paintball. At night the ranges are much closer and even though we reduced the FPS allowed on the field those close in shots do sting.
  7. Having played paintball several times at night I was amazed to see the clarity that one could see with a full moon out, I was able to see far across a valley floor with ease and spot movement. Where it gets hairy is not open spaces but somewhere with shade. The shade has no gradient at night so its impossible to see into unless someone was stupid and backlighted themselves. I also played a couple times where someone hauled out a big sun tower thingy they use in movies. That caused really wierd shadows as well, and the best strategy not to get shot was just not moving if at all possible. Interestingly for me anyways was the lack of friendly fire.. but maybe that was caused by familiarity with the terrain.
  8. I think CM models railways accurately. If you do a Fast move down a railway , you will probably get immobilized.. if you do a move, you probably wont. It is very rough going on the driving on a railway, and going fast even more so.. best advice is to stay off the rails as much as possible.
  9. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Some 'tard said You TAKE NO TIME AT ALL charging a fella's credit card, yet you take EONS of time to ship a simple package via US Postal service? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Open a website and take orders where you have to physically ship something, then you can complain. You think that maybe the website automatically charges your card, and the BTS people process orders at the end of every day to be efficient? Have you ever sold anything on ebay (im guessing no), but lets says you have, how long would it take you before you shipped off the person's item that you sold? Are you really such a whiney lil bitch in real life, or is this an internet thing?
  10. If anyone works for USPS make sure to be even slower than usual to Ohio.
