I concur with the sherman caliope! Wouldn't it be nice to be able to get a one off immediate artillery strike once in a while. Also i would like to have minefields which were not marked!!! It seems a bit odd that they always are! ------------------ You can't have everything - where would you keep it

Of course some would say, that when they post the lan connect and TP/IP patch, we won't need the AI as we will all be playing each other.....unless you all want to keep on playing with yourselves all the time SNIPER....... don't bother running, you'll just die tired!

First of all, i would like to apologise if this has been done before..... Is there a chance some-one will make a "mod" which will allow tanks to have their turrets blown off? I think it would be really cool, if say 1 in 5 or 6 lost their turrets. If in CM 2 the russian front is to be done then this is something i think would be warrented, as i've seen plenty T34 blowing up in this fashion.

Thanks for the reply guys. I'm sorry if i'm re-hashing old topics, however, i know i should keep going back searching to see if a topic has been done before. But the game does change with patches etc..so it is possible that old news is out of date. On the subject of the tracks. I personally feel they are a big thing.They would really add to the feel of the game. The people upstairs are always going on about realism, and they can add mortar holes to individual tiles...! I'm not a computer game writer and i know bugger all about code and sprites...all i know is that "ground control" has great 3D graphics with tracks but the game play is cack compared to CM. But saying that i remember playing "M1 tank platoon" on my old Atari 520 and i loved to watch the aircraft flying into sight as you looked about the battlefield. However i still feel that Cm is the best most involving game i have ever played. I was always going on about close combat, however this game pisses on it from a great height. I would like to say that i would rather have combat mission with all the bugs and without any mods, than suffer in a world where it didn't exist! Lastly.. Heres a good tip for you all... If you turn up the sound, the explosions drown out the wife moaning about you not cutting the grass/putting up the shelves Etc...

Do any of you guys think it would be possible in future CM's or in a patch to give the vehicles track marks? If a 40 ton tiger goes over a wet field it does tend to leave a mark! Also it would allow you to track vehicles you don't have line of sight on. One final question... HAs anyone ever shot down one of those planes? And if they have didi it crash on the battlefield??? Oh and yes i know thats two questions

That fixed it. i was running it from the disc. Thanks for the help

Could anyone help me please. I'm unable to load any saved games.If i press alt-s then i get the saved game screen. However if i exit the battle and then go to the play game screen, its not listen underneath the tutorial battle - which is where i'm led to believe it should be! I'm changing the name in the saved game box to "save one" from the original battle name, however when i press the ok button it just seems to go no further..... I may just be doing something wrong however it is also impossible to load a saved senario i've built from scratch, which is getting on my nerves as i've lost hours of building by being unable to re-load anything. With the builder, i've saved the senario in the proper folder and also saved it as "john.cmb" and "john.cmc" Please help as its ruining an otherwise perfect game.

Could i trouble you with a couple of questions. First of all, how do you save a senario you have made, so that you can re-load it? Secondly i've read in other posts about people going to "CMHQ" to down load other senario's, can some-one give me the link to get to this area....... Cheers in advance
