Mr. Clark

Sigh... That's what I noticed while in CMHQ chat too. Looks like no more patches. WHY did it have to be a problem w/ infantry??? WHY??? WHYYYYYY????? Sorry... it's just that I'm an infantry player... used to be cool that I could take on vehicles with my platoons... sniff...

Mongo... I noticed the same thing... Other guns look GREAT! Those two remain untouched... What are we doing wrong?

Okay, If you want to see a POSSIBLE in game example of HT "endurance", d/load this file: http://home.att.net/~ronin115/HT_Demo.cmc It's scenario #4 of the Arnhem Operation. A German HT is stuck on the ALlied side of the bridge among alot of wreckage. All my troops in the surrounding buildings are out of Heavy Bombs. There ARE 2 PIAT's down the road on the right targetting the HT. First time I played the turn, the HT took an ungodly amount of "grenades" and then broke through and killed the two PIATS!!! Second time I played it, the HT remained stuck, but survived 48 "grenades"! Your results will vary, because you will have to hit GO and process a new turn after you fire it up. I'm not saying this is "wrong" as I don't know how the realism factor would actually play out in this situation, but it MAY serve as a good example of super HT's v. "grenades"/assaults.

I'm wondering if Tiger ever gets a chance to play the game? Anyway, I Lo-Res all of Tigers MOD's, and they STILL look great! Thanks for everything Tiger! (And thanx Manx for keeping your MOD's section updated!)

MaddMatt, whose who in the pic? (It doesn't match my pic at all...)

D-Day would be sweet! I'd put up that wallpaper! I'll be watching for it!

Does that mean "Not a bug!" ?

Perhaps they were just poor marksmen w/ silencers... I think more testing is in order...

I sure hope he was wearing a helmet and a camo jacket, with a rifle slung on his back... 'cause that's how I pictured it.

I was gonna make this statement... but now I don't have too!

Ok, since MadMatt's the only brave soul so far... Here's the rest of the BTS crew:

FINALLY! I got the freakin' thing to work! YAAAGH! Anyhoo, here's Mr. Clark and his tank... ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order." [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 02-16-2001).]

GORK! Didn't work... [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 02-16-2001).]

Very nice! Now then... Where's my Allied pics??? ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

He He... just watched that movie myself. The backpack of infinite explosives . If I remember correctly, they basically blow up an entire castle, and then an entire strip of road, with that one backpack of explosives. Funny stuff. [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 02-15-2001).]

Go to www.bn.com and type in "Band of Brothers" It's the first book that comes up... by Stephen E. Ambrose. "Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle Nest" You really can't go wrong with it! One of the best books I've ever read. (Check out the "customer reviews" while you are there... all 5 stars!) [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 02-15-2001).]

I know he's annoying, but that's actually EXACTLY how Sobel is described... Truthfully, the more annoying that Schwimmer is, the better. If I remember correctly, Sobel even had the same screechy voice. Now that I'm thinking about it, I hope that the budget was MORE than the 10 to 20 million that I remember. I suppose that 20 million would stretch farther in Spielberg and Hanks hands though... Also, instead of paying for stuff per episode, they are sort of paying for everything at once, like a movie, which helps.

If I remember correctly, the budget was something like 10 or 20 million for the entire series... I totally agree that Schwimmer is a perfect pick for Sobel! (as long as he can get into the part...) Personally, I'm looking forward to this mini-series far more than I'm looking forward to Enemy at the Gate, or Pearl Harbor. The book was just fantastic. ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

Thanks! Heading there now!

I just looked at my game in a snow scenario and realized I have absolutely NO winter uniforms! I need suggestions, as they mostly look the same to me in screenshots. I only plan on using Lo-Res, as DD's Uniforms are Lo-Res and the best I've seen... meaning I don't really need to waste all that Hi-Res RAM for something that looks good. Thanks for any suggestions. ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

If you do a search you'll find lots of good info. That said, You should place a sharpshooter in a good position, and then leave him alone! Sharpshooters do MUCH better w/o the players interference! They'll spot enemies, kill Tank Commanders and button up vehicles, and generally be a nuisance to the enemy... as they should. ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets."

Wow! Nice words Dark_Sniper! P.S. - I also have no idea what the Peng thread is all about. SHHHH! Don't tell anyone! [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 02-13-2001).]

Gosh! It really sucks when bad things happen during a war...

I'm not really looking for new scenery mods... but in my opinion the community is REALLY lacking in Building MODs! I recently grew sick of PT's Hi-Res, super destructo building set. (Looks fantastic, but just too dark and destroyed) I am currently using Magua's first set of buildings... which in my opinion are the most realistic. Unfortunately, they were never finished. The winter versions lack doors and all of them lack roof shading. We have dozens of vehicle mods, several terrain mods, but only 1.5 building mods... Anyhoo, I hope those new buildings in the pics are released soon! Great roof shading and much cleaner looking than the first set! Looks to have a lot of variety too! Are they Hi-Res or Lo? Doesn't really matter, I'll Lo-Res 'em myself if they are Hi. (After switching from PT's Hi-Res to Magua's Lo-Res, I notice my game running better.) ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order." [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 02-13-2001).]

I absolutely hate the idea of another patch... BUT, I hate the idea of this bug being left in even more. Obviously its a single problem with "grenades/assaults" vs. HT's. This really has the potential to hurt an infantry player like myself... as well as detracting from the realism level. Hopefully we get one more quick patch to take care of this last clinging little bug. (As soon as Charles stops running around in circles, tugging at his hair, and screaming obscenities at us through the monitor...)
