I would like somebody mod the skies.
There are high resolution skies for CMBB, but i dont know if they are usable for CMAK and the CMBB skies dont have the mountains on it.

Hi
I have read many people are planning to make scenario's which are supposing to be France/Beyond Overlord or to convert old CMBO scenario's to CMAK.
It should work ok
I think you have to use the region Italy when you covert an old CMBO scenario though...but that is only a minor visual glitch when you play such a scenario.

I thought they can use explosives up to 23 meters or so.
When you use the target command with tank hunter teams or engineers and point at the target, you will see something like "use explosives" when it is possible.
When you dont see this text, they only throw grenades.

Crew of tanks CAN panic and bail out when the tank is hit and/or have partial penetrations.
Maybe BFC can add sustaining mg fire to the list which cause this behavior
(for green units or worse only i think )Monty

Oh no !!
Installing from CD or from harddisk, in both cases i have one corrupted file, the 00005000.wav file.
Its a big environment file ,around 9 mb.
I used for now the CMBB version of the file, but i hope somebody can host this file for me.

I installed my BFC copy of CMAK today from CD, and i got this error:
Source file is corrupted:
Wav\00005000
I used ignore and install went further but the 00005000.wav is missing (its a big environment sound file around 9 mb.
Then i tried to install from harddisk, but i got again an error about a corrupted file (this time no file number was shown)
So now im missing the 00005000.wav file.
Can somebody please host this file for me ??
Edit: I copied the 000050000.wav file from CMBB to my CMAK folder, but i still like to have the original one offcourse

Bit offtopic:
I read/hear regularly about problems after installing security "updates"
I myself have W XP with SP1.
Is this good enough? Im afraid to install any additional "updates"
Can i uninstall those security patches with XP ?

In CMAK you can use the recon units to make dustclouds on your left flank while your tanks attack on your right flank
You have to get them out of LOS offcourse !!
Your opponent has to guess where you attack.

Yep, we can delete the aircrafts in the editor OR set change the weather to overcast or fog and the planes wont show up.Originally posted by Michael Emrys:Once you have the full version, can't you open it in the editor and delete the planes?
As you can see, my experience with the editor is limited.
Michael [/QB]
when i play versus a new pbem opponent i choose always overcast or worse btw to prevent aircrafts.

In Windows XP, there are settings for performances/ cpu-use.
You can choose between optimalize cpu use for programs (default) or optimalize cpu use for background services.
Could the background services setting be of use in this case maybe ??

No problems on my side.
We need some more info about your system:
Which type of video card are you using ?
Which video drivers are you using?
Which version of Outlook (Express?) ?

You need Schrullenhaft for this question. Post it in the technical forum and he will answer you.
I dont know if CM is prepared for widescreen monitors.
Normally, when you delete the prefs file and start CM, the default desktop resolution will be used.
Which resolution are you using now ?
If CM dont use the proper resulution, maybe Schrullenhaft can make/change the prefs file for you.
Goodluck,
Monty

Thank you very much !

4 meter is abstracted, it can be also 24 meters.
Did the gun fired HE or AP shells?
The man operating the gun( he is alone ) is pretty good protected behind the gunshield.
4 meter would be goofey, but 24 meters could be ok i guess....

I think you need key Q or W for delaying the opening barrage with x minutes, press q key for each minute you want to add. (im at work , cant check it now)

I mostly agree with my pbem opponent to NOT use aircrafts
Its a too big of a gamble imho.
But in scenario's you dont have a choice offcourse.
In the defense battle (im playing it pbem at this moment as allied) , my flyboy targeted the enemy tank (i think) but missed ( told my opponent )
Later he strafed my own tanks, no damage.

When you play in the full game, you will have terrains (especially in Italy ) where you can set up your guns in "key-hole" positions.
This means the gun has only a limited line of fire (los),so when an enemy vehicle will enter this los, he is likely to be doomed, but other vehicles cant hurt the gun.
Disadvantage of this tactic is you are not certain enemy vehicles WILL enter the los of the gun.
Also, when you will fire at long distance, the enemy or a.i. wont have an ID of the gun or maybe a sound conctact which is not very precise.
When you open fire at medium or short distance, the enemy will get an ID and the gun will be dead quickly, when a few enemy units have los on the gun.
Experienced players will lead the attack with some light tanks, so you have to make a choice to attack the leading light tanks or wait for the juicy fat tanks (if you have a gun which can knock out heavy tanks, wait for the heavy ones)

Guns and dust clouds question
in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Posted
In a QB im playing, i use some British 25 pdr howitzer guns.
I was area firing a suspecting ridge , and the shells are throwing up huge dust clouds.
Now, the gun have NO los on the target spot any more, but keeps firing.
I think this is intended (?) , when the gun have a fixed target he can fire also without los right?
btw you can use the dustclouds from huge shells as cover for your infantery !! It works A-OK
