Shaped charges penetrate modern RHA at a rate of about 2-3mm of effective armor for 1mm of charge diameter. I should think that the steel armor of WWII tanks might be somewhat less resistant so let's say 4x armor/penetration. I don't know what the diameter of the PF's warhead is but I'll pull a number out of my ass and say it's 60mm, like the M9. That gives 240mm penetration of effective armor.

Playing the Germans, I was utterly destroyed by the computer and I was wondering whether this is towards the harder or easier end of the spectrum.

I feel left out. Please assimilate me.

Okay... I should make it clear that you aren't my favorite person right now after I recently read some archived threads from the RSE forum, but hell... people change. I'll give you a second chance. Unfortunately I only have the demo right now; I would love to play a game or two of that and certainly some more when I get the full version (ordering tomorrow or the next day). (P.S. If by some freak chance this is a different CavScout than the one that was involved in the giant flamewar at RSE, then I apologize) [This message has been edited by Check6 (edited 08-26-2000).]

I am running the demo on an AGP Quantum 3D Raven video card (16 mB VRAM) based on a Voodoo Banshee. I have DX7 and the corresponding 3dfx reference drivers. Smoke and explosions appear by turns opaque and invisible. Is this a known issue? Are there any obvious fixes?

WTF? Put yourself in that "cowardly" man's place. That just sucks.

What if future games were to include the scenarios from their predecessors? Ergo, by the time of CM4 we would be able to play our games from the original with the upgraded technology of the latest game engine. If this were done then CM4 would simulate all of WWII in the even-more-spectacular fashion that I am sure will come from our boys at BTS.

So those are victory flags... you get points for controlling them? Thx for the quick response.

I downloaded the demo this morning and I'm loving every second. One question: What do the flags with question marks on them indicate?

AOHell can't handle ftp transfers; are there any sites that offer the demo via http?

AOL apparently doesn't support ftp downloads and I'm at a loss for how to get the demo; I haven't been able to find an http mirror site anywhere. Help?
