Two questions here: What are these armored cars that fire what looks to be a flash at night and yet acts like a grape shot against infantry? How close do I have to be with an MG42 to kill it with a frontal shot, and does being in a 2nd story building or higher at around 100-200m away help with armor penetration?

How far away does the armored car have to be from an MG42 for it to be safe from a frontal attack?

Ok, I've managed to move and rotate a few of them. However, there seems to be some that don't move at all. In fact, they aren't even in a painted set up zone. Does this mean they're immovable?

I'm in the set up stage of a game with some barbed wire, but can seem to rotate it. It seems like there should be a way to do this but I don't see any controls for it. Am I stuck with the direction it's been set at?

I agree and I'd like to find an even H2H scenario in which Germs are defending. Give them a mobile defense maybe with a queen piece like a Panther or Tiger along with maybe 1 or 2 smaller armor units, and the rest infantry.

I'm looking for some good H2H scenarios to play and was wondering if anyone has tried this one before: http://www.theblitz.org/scenarios/combat-mission-battle-for-normandy/tt3-snafu-what-was-that-did-you-hear-that/b-15.htm?action=scenario&id=3594

My opponent and I finally finished Bloody St. Omer and I thought it was one of the best scenarios I've played so far. I'd give it an 8/10. However, Germs have the slight advantage here as defenders so if you're going to use this map as a H2H game, give the weaker player the Germs. The map has some interesting LOS that can really help out each side if you can find them. The Allies have multiple ways to attack, some requiring more time than others to advance but they allow for flexibility against the German defense.

Good info, although I still feel lost in trying to choose one on New Egg. Can someone make some suggestions on what card to get... I'm building a new rig with this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128627 And this processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113327 Want a mid-level card that will comfortably play CM at the highest settings for the current games that are out. My budget is around $130 for the card. The ones that I'm looking at on New Egg are these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487024&cm_re=geforce_video_card-_-14-487-024-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125502&cm_re=geforce_video_card-_-14-125-502-_-Product Stupid question...what does "support GeForce" mean on the product description? I'm interested in knowing if either of these are good choices or if you can recommend something else.

I'm about to get a new rig and wanted to know if it matters what brand of video card I get to play the newer games. I thought I heard in the past that AMD cards didn't run the game as well as Nvidia but that was awhile ago. Also, what is your recommendation for vid cards to run the newer games at a good frame rate without busting the bank?

I think they've made a few over the years...

What is that mod you're using that shows the armor thickness(?) of the tank?

Cut it for scrap? Shouldn't this thing go straight into a museum?

If I have a tank behind low or high bocage engaging an enemy tank sitting in open ground, what kind of an advantage does my tank receive? Also, does low bocage provide better cover vs a stone wall?

I don't have the new CM upgrade so I can't view the file, but once I do I'll load it and take a look.

Thanks for underscoring my point of why we need some kind of identification system like tool tips for the 37 bases.

Wait...how can you have both grass and scrub brush on the same tile? I'll admit, I don't know the editor that well but I didn't think that was possible. Passable maybe, but prone to bogging? No. Maybe tool tips aren't the best solution. But a color layout of some kind...on the Battlefront site that shows what each tile is would help a lot. The sepia pics in the manual do not help as I can't tell one thing from another.

I love CM...but my biggest pet peeve about this great game has got to be the complete lack of detail about what type of terrain is on the battlefield. This info was in there before in the old games and served its purpose well but for some dumb reason was taken out in CMBN. Case in point, there is some kind of brown grass between my tank and where I want my tank to go. Is it harmless or a swamp I just don't recognize because I'm not a scenario designer or coder for Battlefront? Now, to find out what terrain is what you have to open up the friggin' editor to see what you're looking at...and that is ridiculous. Why can't there be some tool tips that pop up when you target each hex just like there was before? This is an easy fix and I would like to lobby for this change in the next update. It's frustrating not to know what you're even looking at on the battlefield. Please do something about this.

I never did understand why armor thickness was taken out. I mean it's not like it's some gamey bit of info you can take advantage of. This kind of data would be known to any tank commander in the field...so why remove it from the UI?

Thanks, I'll watch the video later. What I'd like to know is...why are my infantry who have M1 Garands using 30cal M2 ammo? Can they use 30cal M1car ammo from the Jeep? And what does "car" stand for...cartridge?

My Jeep is carrying extra ammo of: .30cal M1car .30cal M2 .45cal What weapons can make use of each ammo type?

I've never understood how to use this word even though I hear it used by others a lot when talking about something. In the dictionary, it's described as "(of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, or progress." That definition though doesn't seem to explain how I hear the word used in every day conversations. Take this sentence for example: "Going from traditional employee reviews to peer reviews changed the dynamic of our office." Is this the correct usage of the word? Does it describe how the relationships between employees changed or am I saying something else here?

So...let me see if I have this straight... In the game, it says 66mm HE below regular grenades. So this unit isn't carrying the HEAT rounds as I'm guessing it would say that in the panel? Can the HE round really take out a tank from the side?

Yep, me too. I had a schreck team injure one of their own squad members by firing within a building.

Damn...alright. So what happens if I upgrade to v3 and so does my other opponent who is also using v2? Can we continue our game we're halfway into with both of using now using v3?

So here's my deal... I'm using v2 right now and have a game with another guy still using v2. I also have a new opponent using v3. Curiously, the file is not shown on my game screen and he thinks this is why. Is it? Now, I have no problem upgrading to v3 but I'm worried about what will happen with my other opponent still using v2. Will this make it impossible for us to play?
