What standard rifles would British and Germans have in the current CMCW timeframe?
Is it all still 7.62x51 NATO? -

We've got four WWII titles and I've lost count how many modules, all highlighting the issue of exposed half track gunners and unbuttoned tank commanders within rifle range of the enemy.
Well, yes, but the point here is that SdKfZ 251/1 and M113 gunners have shields - but seem to die as easily as tank commanders who do not. -

My opinion for what it's worth. I was going to buy RT in the next couple of weeks but now that there is a question of how accurate the research and stats on the Russian
tanks are I have decided to hold off and buy another more accurate one like FB or FI.
Where is that concern coming from? The recent video bashing T-34s? -

Yeah. Ronno played a Les Paul Custom. But it's still pretty freaky because the picture had to trigger the ad, right?
Yeah. Modern image recognition is certainly able to tell a LP from a Stratocaster in an image that clear.But we cannot rule out that it is coincidence. Maybe they just decided to show you a Gibson ad and it happened to have a Les Paul for sale.

A picture is worth a 1000 words
But the ad is for a Les Paul [i]Studio[/i].

It is possible to screen-read and OCR the elevation numbers.
Writing such software (with support for the required scrolling) is very nasty work.

Even most armoured cars are an assault vehicle in CM, unless the enemy is in a cathedral
Yeah. If the real world was like CM's fortifications then nobody would have bothered developing direct fire larger than 75mm.A good exercise would be to improve heavy cover to the point where (inside CM) you scream for 150mm HE.

The discord server also has a user with a stuck discord. Looks like the servers are on the fritz.

It makes me wonder where is the rotten fish? In the 75's data or the building's? I am starting to think it must be the 75HE wunder waffen? You too?
In the scenario I am writing it will be nice as I have only HMG fire being dealt with and some semblance of an orderly world can be seen as troops take cover in the stone house which is really a CM church.
In CMx2 in general smallish HE is pretty effective but it doesn't scale to larger HE like some think it should.
Correspondingly, heavy cover such as foxholes, trenches and heavy buildings offer less protection than some think they should.
Fixing this would be an interesting balancing act. But for now you are in a world like 1941 where a short 75mm StuG or Pz IV is an "assault" vehicle.

It is also a matter of fitting the platoon into 3, not 4, BMPs.
-
I can also confirm that CMCW doesn't seem to have this problem.
-
My test was CMBN.
-
Very inconsistent so far in testing.
Seems to have to do with whatever the previous cover arc was, hence the step-by-step.
-
Hmmm, it seems that it doesn't work when I give it a straight 180-to-rear cover arc. But I just moved the turret step by step this way:
-
You need a soundmod for that.
-
I remember that we had a thread about lack of protection from sturdy buildings before. Specifically churches.
-
It would be great to polish TCP WEGO "a little bit" and fix this bug and add VCR controls/rewind.

Tried it just now (just to check as I already had it). Works fine for me via the BFC patches page.
Yeah, but we were talking about the link in the first post of this thread. -
The link in the first post of this thread doesn't work for me either.

[Edit: Thanks for the article.]
I have seen Germany criticised for the pipeline - giving Russia leverage over Europe. I always wondered if it was more about trying to stabilise the Russo-European relationship by making them reliant on each other. Am I wrong? Is it more to do with just needing the gas, not wanting nuclear power or what?
[Edit 2: I also heard it might just be corruption on the German side... with a guy who works for Gazprom. Surely if that's true though it couldn't be the only factor.]
[Edit 3: Part 1: https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Strategic-Misdirection-An-Alternate-Framework-for-Understanding-Russia’s-Play-in-Ukraine.pdf?x91208 Part three is yet to be released I believe.
Well, Germany already uses Russian gas. It is just coming through third party countries (*) which charge for passage. Money is definitely involved in the pipeline project.(*) including Ukraine, who need that money

As I recall, there was no expectation of Russia moving into Crimea either. As the article says, the expected areas of interest to the Russians would be those with large ethnically Russian populations such as the Donbas(s).
There is also a non-bridge land connection to the Crimea.
And the water crisis on Crimea which could be solved with the same land bridge.

That looks more like an airplane attack to me.

So for some people there is an issue where Windows Defender raises a false positive for some CM games.
But when that is the problem you should get a clear error message saying so, no?

The server seems on the fritz. On discord somebody was also getting a game nuked.
I wonder whether there are currently any people using it successfully? Anybody?
