Hello Kwazy! Now that we are talking about graphics, I'm wondering if the sky will be more than 8-bit? Now it gets not-so-pretty in that 256 colors... Thanks.

Damn, that gamey Americans once again

Your eyes are like of the hawk! Thanks for pointing me out which mod should I download. Getting it right now. Mono scheme seems really beautiful!!

Well, sometime ago almost every game magazine had some complaints about not so great graphics in CM. But after around 1 year of playing, I still think they were wrong (and gunny bunny too ). Look at hese fine examples of great graphics. And yes, thank you modders for doing such a great job (and BTS also).

Now we're becoming too big nitpickers (spelling bad), aren't we? Average battle is 30 minutes and AFAIK if it begins in the dawn, whole battle will be in the dawn. Don't you think it would be a little too demanding that in the 1st minute of the battle is darker than in 28th? Or maybe we could also try to persuade BTS that they could somehow put up with an equation which will realistically take in effect bouncing of light from vehicles (so my panther which has sun behind his back, will kill your t34, who is looking toward the sun and is therefore more blinded. And also my position is better, because the sun reflects from your glacis and I can spot you earlier! And of course, since every minute sun changes position, BTS should take that in consideration, too ) But seriously, don't we all want CMBB to be finished in year 2002?

You speak about the game that will come out in about 4 months. And you speak about tactics in that game?!? How? Isn't that a bit odddddd? Nobody knows how the game will be played... Like all previews from magazines... All based on presumptions... Is it really worth the time ?

Try to look on the bright side - now we have a lot more time than we thought for playing various scenarios, which we wouldn't if CM2 would come out in December...

All this talking about energy and Joules... I wonder what would happen back in Forties if Germans have been pouring energy drinks over their 20mm shells. I guess the penetration would be much higher. Am I right? Can anybody make a test?

BTS, no offence, but if Jason's words are not specific (as you've said) then you don't even read his posts. I dare to say that Jason (and Rexford) are most specific and exact members of this forum with their statements and I think that at least of 90% of members will agree with me, right? So it's unfair from you to accuse him of "not being specific".

We're dying out there for any news on CMBB. And congratulations for you, Manx. Right man on a right place! And I hope your sig will soon look like this: Resources for Big Time Software's "COMBAT MISSION: Beyond Overlord and COMBAT MISSION: Barbarossa to Berlin"

Nah, nothing. No demo, no t-shirt, no movie. Nothing. BTS is on 3-month vacation, so... Let's wait until sometime around april 2002.

Thanks for your suggestions. I somehow nanaged to fix my problems by downloading some new (?) unofficial drivers for voodoo3 from a group of enthusiasts (seems like a lot of 3rd party drivers are appearing now, when 3dfx is dead) and now everything works great. I tried playing in OpenGL, but it was slow. After switching to Glide it was around 100% improvement in frame rate. Also graphics are awesome with Glide, comparing to OpenGL.

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Patgod: it was halloween? whoa, hey wait isnt that in october.<hr></blockquote> Time passes really fast. I haven't even noticed that we are in the middle of December. :eek: I have to buy Christmas presents, almost forgot. Thanx for reminding me, Patgod.

The game is Unreal (latest patch 226), not Unreal Tournament. I have Win98 and DirectX 8.0. I found out what was blocking my OpenGL mode - it was WickedGL program which should improve framerate in OpenGL games. After I uninstalled it, Unreal looks beautiful with now working OpenGL rendering. But here comes a new problem - text in game is unreadable (menu and translator messages). And this was the game made primary for Voodoo cards! Unbelievable! Any advice?

It's not about CM, but maybe somebody can help me. I have a Voodoo3 2000 AGP and I can't play Unreal in OpenGL, Glide or Direct3D mode. I tried everything, but no luck, all I can play is software rendered Unreal (but looks pretty ugly). Other games play good with my voodoo (either Direct3d or Glide). Any advice, please...

I think we should get message like : Damaged Gun/mg OR Damaged Gun , in this case the .50 mg should be able to fire. Monty aka Moose<hr></blockquote> Maybe it was buttoned. When tanks are buttoned, they can't fire their AAMGs (I'm sure for Sherman).

Great idea! That would decrease time with sending PBEMs for 33%!!! 30 turn game with one mail per day per player now takes a month and a half! With new system it would take only one month. I hope BTS is doing on that...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Rodimzew: Maybe it's possible to knock KTs out if you own elite teams.

Weapon (bazooka) has the same armor penetration numbers no matter if the unit is green or elite. It's just that with elite unit you have better chance to hit, but elite crews don't mean that they have more penetration... Also elite tanks don't have extra armour on so they are just as easily to knock out as green ones...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Gen-x87H: BTW Gen-x87H, that sharshooter "shot" is not one "bullet". Infantry small arms ammo is not tracked bullet for bullet. Each time a sharpshooter "fires" it doesnt neccessarily mean they fire ONE bullet" I can understand this for a sqaud but since a sharpshooter is 1 guy with a gun I would consider that each shot he takes is 1 bullet not necessarily the ammo reduction shown. Unless you are telling me he got off 2 shots in less than 1 second. Maybe there wasnt a second gunman on the grassy knoll Gen<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> This is called ABSTRACTION in CM.

I also won't buy veteran tanks anymore. They just keep dissapointing me because they don't know how to shoot! I'll just buy regulars and I am satisfied if they cannot hit a tank at 150 meters with first shot. The difference in quality is not as big as is in price.

Juju, please send this beautiful pavement to me immediately. I can't wait! peruano@email.si Thanks!!
