I wish I had written this post! The part about the poison is spot-on. We have some arsenic specialists around here: a steady-stream of negative non-constructive comments with the hope their victim will finally die. Its getting old.Originally posted by Huntarr:WW2Wargamer you are a Man's Man. I commend you for taking the time to address these children. You Sir have the patience of a Saint. I for one don't even want to try anymore, to give them any sense of hope whether or not BFC will live up to their hype. They don’t care. They are simply trying to bring some form of purpose to an otherwise meaninglessly existence. It’s a GAME children! I even took the time to violate an NDA but that was not enough. F$#@ em. There are a select few that continue to poison the forum with negative unconstructive rhetoric. The whining unwashed masses aren’t worth your time sir. But again I commend you for making that effort.

Since you (Panzer76) don't play CMSF now (according to what you say in another topic), you could consider stopping for a second or a couple of months to undermine the game at every opportunity you get (to be fair, you're not the only one doing that). Its a bit tireing to see you pop with negative comments everywhere where people have the incredible arrogance to state they enjoy the game. Like I do. Thanks.

PS: did I say I have no problem with that game and enjoy it? Hm, yes i think I said so.

Hello.Originally posted by NoxSpartana:(snip)
(...)I really respect what you guys are doing at Battlefront, but as a small independent developer you can't really afford to release games that require 6 patches to be playable,(...) (snip)
Just to point out that for me it is playable and I enjoy it, so no blanket statement please. Different degrees of perception.
It does not mean that I don't expect or hope for improvements over time (and knowing BFC's history we will get them). 99%, if not all, of the games I played since my Amiga time have been at one moment or another patched and re-patched, sometimes very heavily. And I'm not even speaking about MMORPGs (massive multiplayer online role-playing games), which are continuously patched and modified. My point is: like it or not but todays games ARE following this path -> publish as polished as possible and then finish/improve/ via the patches. Even boardgames are doing it! This is why my Zen level is high

Far to many "if"s to answer. To answer a FAIR answer, mind you.

Hello,
If I recall, the Panzerfaust 3 can be fired from a confined space. Now, I haven't found (yet) the minimal volume for such a confined space .
-
For what it's worth: as far as I remember, in the previous CMs, the snipers worked well if you let them choose their own targets (i.e. you didn't need to manually give them targets). I remember a CMBB (or was it CMBO?) thread about the snipers who were reluctant to fire. It was mainly due to the fact that their "behaviour" was coded so as to give survival a high value (-> they try to keep a low profile) and they were very (!) reluctant to open fire when the enemy was too close.
Now, this is CM:SF, so I don't know if the coded behaviour is the same, but I would try to do the same as I did for CMBB: find a nice position and let them the initiative. May work. At least that's what I do in CMSF and so far it seems to be OK, but then since I play RT its sometimes difficult to be sure they fired, so I guess I'll have to check the ammo count

Hello
My opinion so far: cheers and thumbs up !
LOTS to learn, both technically (shortcuts, camera movement, best way to give orders, the difference between fast and quick -> aaaarg,) and tactically (I have way too many casualties). But I'm getting better as my brain is sloooowly reorganizing the old CM neuronal circuits into a brand new CMSF network. Its fun AND challenging.
Bugs? Well, haven't seen anything game breaking and anyway they will ultimately share the destiny of all Battlefront bugs: being squashed . Therefore no way such minor things will stay between me and the game

Hm.
To be honest, for the moment I haven't experienced game breaking bugs. Neither have I had any horrible technical problems (in fact had none). I guess the pleasure of this new challenge (unlearning CMx1 is a challenge for me, as well as playing RT after years of wego) overrides the minors problems. I'm confident those will be fixed soon or later. I think jumping out too fast is sad and (my opinion only, no disrespect intended) looks to me more like a kneejerk reaction than anything else (CMSF is only a couple of days old....). After all this game is quite different from the old CMx1 and its not always easy to change good old game habits...can make you grumpy

In the 4th scenario of the training campaign, I had a Javelin hit like 20-30m in front of the shooter... Target (a building) was supposed to be some 200m away. Guess that guy forgot his glasses
. But then it made a very convenient crater where his platoon could hide a little later. I suspect he did it on purpose.But I agree: its very accurate and deadly.
-
I guess it's a sad day for min-maxers <shrugs> .
Since I'm not one of them, I'm happy with this design decision. I honestly thought the whines would come a bit later than 24 hours after release. To be fair, people should at least wait a bit and test the game some more. I don't know..perhaps a bit more than a couple of hours? Mh? But then, I guess it's so fun to make DEMANDS just as soon as the game comes out, and if possible with mucho drama.

Hello.
It worked for me. When I simply clicked on the link nothing happend, so I copied/pasted the complete link I just received from BFC directly in my browser, hit return, et voilà.
Hope this works for you too.

Hello,
You just have to copy the link directly in your browser. And then it works.

My opinion: nice advertisement, very "dynamic" and visually impressive. I like it and I take it for what it is: an advertisement and not some abstract from a PhD thesis in WWII history
.Regards.

Hello,Originally posted by BarbarossaDSS:Good points Hitori:
Robert McNamara, one of the minds who engineered the fire bombing of Tokyo and latter the defense sec during Vietnam under Johnson, said had the allies lost WWII, he would have gone up on war crime charges for what he did.
(snip)
I think it was Curtis LeMAy: taken from LeMay_1 and LeMay_2
SigLeMay was quite aware of both the brutality of his actions and the Japanese opinion of him — he once remarked that had the U.S. lost the war, he fully expected to be tried for war crimes, especially in view of Japanese executions of uniformed American flight crews during the 1942 Doolittle raid. -
As far as I can tell, they often give the name of the place where the tank was destroyed or abandoned. But there are soooooo many pictures, and since I discovered that site recently while I was looking for an info on the Char B1 bis... It's a very interesting place, but the formating and the colors used tend to hurt my eyesOriginally posted by gunnersman:Yea, all WW2 pics are dated by default. There is not much you can do about that.
Thanks for the pics though.
I dont speak French. I guess these pics are named by the city or town they were taken near? I recognized alot of the names.
Very comprehensive. I will have to bookmark that.

Pas tout à fait, mais pas loin. And "grog" is too high level for me

Hello,
I took a look at the beautiful models in the tank gallery and found 2 small typos with the names of 2 french tanks:
"Bataille Char B1 Bis" -> should be either "Char de bataille B1 bis" or "Char B1 bis"
"Hotchkis H35" -> should be "Hotchkiss H35"
If you want to see many pictures of all the french tanks: Chars français (note: site is in french and is visually a bit ... dated, but contains interesting information).

Hello,
If the senario ends while you have a missile lock, the "ATGM locked" sound continues to play on and on once you're on the AAR screen.

Hello,
Just some comment about the driving: took a bit of time to master well and am still learning... But as far as I'm concerned, I like it. You can do very nice manoeuvers with a fast vehicle once you get use to the inertia (special mention for the Ice map..fun). In fact what I did when I first started to game was to grab one of these Paladin 76mm and drive around like a mad man (never tipped over on bumpy land, but fell down a few slopes
), trying to scout and be a nuisance. After 10 minutes, worked quite well. I am still fumbling with the "turn" key from time to time (for instance using E instead of D..bleh), but all in all, it seems I get it.The tip given in the manual that one should not hold the acceleration key (W) all the time but use it in brust is dead on (at least for fast units) and proved both a relief for my finger and a pain for enemies trying to hit me. Driving like mad and erratically is fun, and I guess that once you're be able to fire laterally at a medium target while at full speed (AND hit
), these fast units can be real nuisances.Concerning the flipping: well, all I can say is that these are absolutely great moments of fun! And force me to improve my steering. I also think that w/o this risk, the fast units (once perfectly mastered by players) could be a bit overpowered on bumpy maps. Would be like the mogolian cavalery swarming the polish heavy knights, hitting and running away with impunity before retaliation. Would like to do that, but I'm not sure it's fun if you are on the receving end. With that risk of flipping, you have to control your speed and I really think it increases realism.

Hello,Originally posted by Henri:(snip)
Although this is pure speculation, I supect that the programmers slanted the German chances somewhat to avoid the screams of outrage from players who favor the Germans (by far the majority of players). (snip)

After following these forums for a few years, and having developped (I think) a pretty good idea/feeling of how BTS/BFC works and thinks their products, I would like to say that indeed this is pure speculation.
