The addition of tank hunter teams is really cool but I would really like some weapon stats in the info window on all those cool new weapons they are using. As it stands now I have no idea what thier "kill range" is against tanks.

You need to setup you defense so that it has inter-locking fire.
You problem sounds like he is able to isolate your defenses and kill them piece-meal. That is bad. Inter-locking fire goooood.

Gamey bastard. In "reallife" fires don't burn forever and block all passing and LOS. They sometimes burn good... sometimes bad.. sometimes fast.. sometime slow... sometimes you can get through on foot.. sometimes not... sometimes a vehicle can drive or even see through it.. sometime not... CMBO doesn't simulate this...Originally posted by MikeyD:As to FT usage, I get my best use out of them on the defensive. You sit there watching what direction the enemy's going in then you smoke his access route to block it. Suddenly the cover's blocked, the gully out of LOS is impassible.

As far as I know having the computer pick your forced doesn't result in an "over-pick" but can result in an "under-pick" by some factor. I guess this was bad in earlier releases but BTS has shored it up some.
Personally I am still not happy with it since if you play a QB at 1000 points or under and have the computer pick your forces the German players hardly gets any schrecks let alone one. On may occasions I have gotten no AT support and only a HT with a few hollow charges... Very dissapointing.

To me FB just ruin the game... Either they are a waste of points because they don't show up or when they do.. do nothing usefull or they show up and wipe out the enemy, which to me takes all the fun out of it since that I what I wanted to do, and not have some AI controlled Jabodo it for me.

The problem isn't with screening FT teams. The problem is that on the attack they move fo fricken slow and inevitably you have to move them through some enemy fire and when you do they just die like rabid weevels, fast and messy.
Jeff
P.S. Ooo.. but don't get me wrong.. on the defense they can rock... Stick when with some infantry with maybe a barbwire fence or a mine field in front of them and watch them route the enemy soldiers.

I think I will or something. Oh and BTW, Joe, while you are driving down in Texas watch out for those "Road-hobos". I hear they go right through your windshield and get lodged there until they bleed to death.Originally posted by Joe Shaw:That being said ...

Why the hell do you need a keyboard for a penile implant? And I suppose the more disturbing question would be, where do you plug that keyboard in?Originally posted by Joe Shaw:I have embarked upon my upgrade crusade at long last.

If you're going to have light to moderate casualties, then you're nancy boys should have all the flags and shouldn't have sat back with your infantry cowering from a damned Hetzer! I haven't had anything more than a routed Company HQ with 1 guy left and LOW ammo on his .45 for 10 turns and that lone guy hiding under a rock has kept your reinforced battalion at bay the whole time. I had 2 Hetzers and slaughtered your tank regiment. I also saw you pick your nose and eat it while we were playing TCP/IP you dingo-dipping bastard!</font>Originally posted by Croda:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by jshandorf:

I just got to the "Bix" section. I am really liking that one also. I usually only read over lunch but I have snuck in some reading here and there at other times.Originally posted by Panzer Leader:Shandorf I am reading that too! Bought it last wek, what an amazing book, I think I liked the "Bix" section best. I have a new respect for jagdpanthers after that. I wish the section on Wittman and his stug was longer though.

Just a thought but I have been reading a new book I picked up called "Panzer Aces" and it seems that the Germans were only able to overcome the Soviet heavies, KV-I and T-34, through superior command and skill, and this was magnified by the Russian lack of command and skill, atleast early on in the war.
Therefore any Russian player worth his salt in tank tactics is gonna have a field day in CMBB when he has a couple T-34s or KV-Is and all the German player is able to bring to the table are PzIIIs (longs and shorts) and possibly a few Pz-IVs with the short 75.
Is this just a spin with the allies in the west and the germans in early 1944 or are the Germans at a decided dis-advantage in CMBB from '41 to late '42?
I wonder if the rarity option can level the table a little here?
Just some thoughts...

Funny but I picked up "Panzer Aces" last Sunday. I was just browsing a Borders with some friends and saw it. Fron my reading it is my understanding that the Germans just used superior training and command to defeat the Russians in most cases early in the Russian offensive. They would obviously have to since the book mentions on several occasions that they were figthing in late '42 and early '43 with Pz IIIS still. Pretty amazing considering the Russian tank they were up against.Originally posted by Michael Dorosh:The first Landser to see one wouldn't have known enough to be scared; they didn't know they existed, or how tough they were. I think it would have been more shocking once word spread across the front: "Kamerad, I tell you, those verdammt T-34s are unstoppable...." Sort of like Tiger-itis as suffered by Allied troops later in the war...
But you know, German troops didn't lose their nerve that easily in the face of armour. Look at the number of Char B1 bis knocked out in France; it was a behemoth too.
I wonder, come to think of it, if the Germans drew any lessons from the fighting in France on how to tackle "unstoppable" tanks, such as the Matilida or B1 Bis were in their day.

The PzIV could not be significantly improved upon. First off the chassis and the turret ring could not support any more weight NOR force. Therefore up gunning the 75mm to anything larger was not an option, and that is not mentioning introducing another ammunition variant for this "new" gun. And if you are thinking you could just slap a 75mm/L70 on there spare us from laughing at you and don't even bring it up. Also putting anymore armor on the turret was also not an option since the PzIV couldn't support anymore weight. If you going to up the armor on the turret then you would had had to up the suspension and chassis in general. And, hell, if you are going to do that why not just build a different tank? Like say the Panther?Originally posted by MajorBooBoo:I state that the Panzer IV was not signficantly improved beyond the H model. It basically stayed the same the rest of the war. If you believe that it couldnt have had at LEAST an improved turret then you are just a fool that believes everything he reads. The long development time of the Panther FORCED the continued use of the panzer IV into 1944 and beyond.
Besides by early '42, or possibly late '41, German tankers and commanders were demanding a new tank let alone an up-gunned and up-armored PzIV. And Germany realized that well trained and well skilled tank crews were A LOT more valuable than any tank, so keeping them alive was a priority, and therefore the Panther was a priority. It is just that simple.

Due to some good fortune for the next year I will be commuting to Dallas, TX for my new employment. I was just curious if any of you worthless bastards live in that godforsaken hellhole of cow dung and poisonous vermin. If so we should hook up for a Coors shudder or possibly...er perferably something better. Let me know you grasshumpings sods.
Deepest regards,
Jeff
