Wasn't meant personal. You and Tankgirl are just the only female wargamers I know. You can gimme a payback on the battlefield if you like. That male / female units makes no sense cause there's no difference was excactly what I've already written (or meant) in my other message somewhere above. BTS should better expand the soundmap. I hate that I can't differ the sound of a recoiless gun from a Panzerfaust. [This message has been edited by Scipio (edited 01-31-2001).]

..is: expend the sound map. Add at least a new sound for recoiless guns. You don't need to create a sound for I. I make it. Yes, I mean in CM1 ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Scipiobase

Everyone takes the shoe that fits him (an old German wisdom). When I said that I don't men it serious, I don't want to say that I mean as a joke (I had used smileys in this case). I only want to bring in a very strange though, cause IMO spend the people to much time with this IMO secondary question. If someone want to have women in CM, okay, make a mod. The point is : female soldiers wouldn't add something to the gameplay, cause they must have the same abilitys like men, otherwise would the following discussion outnumber all peng-threats together.

...so if we have female units, will it be possible to rape them (a realistic feature), and how will it influence to combat moral? No, I don't mean this serious. If BTS would really bring female units, how is their battle ability? If it's equal to the male units, it's only a graphical question. If it's lower...I guess our dear Kitty and Tankgirl will use nuclear weapons against BTS. If it's higher...all others will use them. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Scipiobase

I've noticed that I can't order my tanks to target a Kübelwagen with the maingun, maybe the same for Jeeps, but I don't know for sure. Is this correct?

Now downloadable on my page are also Jon Johnsons excellent tank movement sounds. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Scipiobase

For those discussions that, mh, going in directions that they will be locked by the admin, but someone still want to continue, I've created an uncensored messageboard. It's note necessary to sign in. Move to http://www.scipiobase.de/forum.htm I guess there were some unanswered questions about the heroic Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Have fun. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! http://www.scipiobase.de/cm_mods.htm

It is cowardly and a shame if an asshole call himself a terrorist and bomb a building full of children or other civilians. If a military ship is successfully attacked by a commando, then someone on the ship hasn't made his job. That's not terrorism. What would be if the ship was from Irak and the 'terrorist' was SEALs? And about Preal Harbor - I really don't understand the whining about the 'late' declaration of war. Do someone believe a single American men had survived if the declaration has reached the US one or two hours before the attack how it was planned? [This message has been edited by Scipio (edited 01-27-2001).]

To continue your thought: you agree surely that it would be okay if the American natives start a firebombing of L.A. or Washington? I mean, the Americans would only got what they deserved for their genozide. Do people like you don't know mathematics? Do you think one murder + one murder = 0 murder?

Please explain 'USS Cole'. I don't know the history of every US ship.

Yes, but I think more on something like that: I mark an enemy unit, hit a key and have LOS-lines to all of my own units that have LOS to that enemy. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! http://www.scipiobase.de/cm_mods.htm [This message has been edited by Scipio (edited 01-26-2001).]

No, it has absolutly nothing to do with my thoughts, or I missunderstood because of my terrible English. I mean - an enemy unit is spotted by one of my units. Now I want to know which of my units has LOS. Who can turn fire on that enemy? Is one of them a HQ unit so can use a mortar to fire? Currently I must draw a LOS for each of my unit manually...that sucks!

Tankgirl, you are a very very bad girl!!! Pearl Harbor was a day of valor! Think of all the heroic Japanese pilots risking (and given) their lives when executing a perfect planed attack!!! ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! http://www.scipiobase.de/cm_mods.htm [This message has been edited by Scipio (edited 01-26-2001).]

Pals, I spend hours trying to find out who has LOS to that damned enemy unit at the edge of the wood...why in the hell don't we have a 'Who can see the enemy' function?

This is non-possible. Please contact BTS.

957, 100% Why in the hell we're down to 64.7? Who was the traitor? Maybe I should make a professional visit?

I have a general problem with assault in the game. For example I want to attack a house I believe to be enemy occupied. I send a squad with 'RUN' order. Well, maybe the enemy is hidden, usual infantry tactic is to throw a few handgrenates before they enter the building...but what did they now? They enter the house, notice a MG and get killed. Or I see a tank close enough for an infantry attack, but have only handgrenades left. So, I order them to run and target the tank...and hope they understand that they should assault that damned tank. A real assault order would clear this. And BTW - I'm missing close AT weapons like Hafthohlladung, Panzerwurfmine, Geballte Ladung... they were all very usual. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! http://www.scipiobase.de/cm_mods.htm

Here's my secret: don't believe to much in the invulnarability of tanks. I have already seen a Panther blown into pieces - by a 60mm mortar shell. And maybe you can't kill it, but immobilize it. When the spot moves to another point of the map, the tank is nothing but a pile of useless steel. And don't believe to much in 'use the game engine' tactics. This game is much to flexibel to seak those things. As example: see above. All IMO, of course ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! http://www.scipiobase.de/cm_mods.htm

Hi, my name is Peter and I'm CM addicted. I wish I had time to write more, but I received an email... [This message has been edited by Scipio (edited 01-23-2001).]

I have forgotten to refer to my 'What I'm doing wrong?' thread on the other messageboard. I have already checked everything possible, from drivers to settings, BIOS-updates, new installations of windows etcetera etcetera. No, I'm not expecting to much, cause I've the the problem also in 640x480 - on 1 GHz machine with a Geforce 2 GTS /64MB.

Only for the case that my thread on the 'great' messageboard stays unnoticed. When textured objects come in sight CM starts to download graphic data from my HD. Because this takes a moment, the games 'stumbles'. I tested this with installing an old and slow HD, copy CM on it and started - the problems was the same, but much strongher. I tested my HD, and checked the results with specifications of IBM as shown on the homepage and must say that my HD is working with 38 MB/s at highest performance for an IDE harddisc. So, my question is now something that only BTS can (and hopefully will) answer. Is it correct that the graphic datas are loaded from HD during the game? I thought they are loaded in graphic or main memory before the scenario starts, or what means the message 'Loading 3-D graphics'?
