Just had this minute flash of inspiration! Why not have a covering fire arc command so support units such as mgs etc dont just aim at one place but try to spray fire across the area that the player tells them too. THis would be especially useful for covering troops crossing streets etc, because at the moment you can only tell a unit to fire at a specific point! What do you think?

Is tungsten used enough??
Lordfluffers replied to Lordfluffers's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Yeah that makes sense Bullethead, but Im talking about firing on a zeroed, identified tarket at around 400-700 meters. Ive seen this happen several times. If I was a commander, having harmlessly hit the (identified) target several times and now receiving incoming fire from the target, I would immediately load up one of my precious tungsten rounds. In these situations the instinct is to knock out the enemy, not to save precious tungsten for later. Instead Ive seen my tank commanders firing round after round of AP, which usually disintegrates or richochets until my tanks are destroyed! Any other comments? -
I know this was a problem in CMBO but Ive played many battles now in CMBB when Ive had a PzIII or similar come up against a T34 or worse, a KV1. The PZIII will start firing AP as it brackets the target which makes sense. But then after several hits on target, with both vehicles stationary, it continues to unload AP until it is eventually destroyed. Wouldn't the PzIII change to Tungsten, if it had any, after one or two connecting shots???? :mad: It's really frustrating seeing my tanks, that have the ability to knock out an enemy T34 etc. get wasted because they dont use their Tungsten!!! Anyone else got any comments on this??? [ October 25, 2002, 05:16 AM: Message edited by: Lordfluffers ]

Well I ordered mine from Wireplay.com, if anyone recieves their copy form Wireplay let me know!!! -
Thats what makes me really mad :mad: If it was BTS or another publisher, I'm sure they would have at least acknowledged the problems and explained the delay. I am really angry at CDV's noticeable absence from this board and their lack of courtesy and respect for CM's fans. I wonder if they'll end up going the way of Cryo if they're not careful. :mad:

Just wondering whether the ahistorical issues concerning SS, swastikas and other issues that have surfaced in the German CMBB will also be in the UK's CMBB> I am aware that in Germany there are laws prohibiting the display and use of such things and so games such as Wolfenstein etc couldnt show Nazi symbols. But as CDV are responsible for the UK's CMBB will they let us have untainted or will we have to put up with thisstupid Waffen Grenadier instead SS stuff???

Relative Parity on the Eastern Front in CMBB
Lordfluffers replied to Le Tondu's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Arguably not true. I would rather be in a long barrelled German Mark IV than in a early T34 in a one on one situation. People forget that the T34 was severely handicapped by its two man turret which slowed reaction, firing and targetting times. The anti tank projectile for the long barrelled MkIV was much more effective too. I would however feel a little more nervous if a KV1 popped its head up. -
Actually Ive played CMBO with a JNagdtiger about 4 times in a year and a half. ITs just sooooo boring if you walways use uber-tanks and regularly, not to mention gamey!! BTW there is another Jagdtiger mod, I just cant remember who done it or where it is!
