Thanks for your ideas on the bow MG, I understand what your saying. I have the 1.12 update but I never see a second tracer coming out the front of the tank. It usually happens when the vehicle is out in the open with nothing blocking it. I hear machine guns sounds but nothing comes out of the front and the enemy becomes un-pinned. Very odd....maybe I just have easily jammed guns.

Why is it that when a vehicle equipped with a BOW MG, and a turret, they quit firing the BOW weapon at the enemy in front of the vehicle when the turret traverses towards another target? I think they should add another tracer line coming from the BOW, I mean the gunner is still there right? Or does he take a smoke break until the turret swings back around. I dont know how many times my tanks were "retired from service" by a bazooka team that was in front when the turret swung to engage a bigger threat. Help! Maybe I am seeing things or "not" seeing things, but either the BOW quits shooting or they get REALLY bad shots.

I was wondering if anyone uses aircraft in CMBO....they are expensive, are they worththe price? Do they drop their payload and then fly around taking fire or do they actually contribute to the war effort? Let me know if you like or dislike them, I am curious.

Count me in too.

What about for the battle generator? How do you change those names?

I think having the ability of renaming your leaders to anything you want without losing the rank before it would be fun. I would love to be the commander of a Tiger or the Sgt. of a rifle platoon...It would add a feeling of "attachment" to your renamed unit. I am not talking about in the scenario designing aspect but during enagagement.....how hard would it be to add that? Anyone else like that idea?

Is there a place, site, or page I can go to for help with the unit selection screen? I see tons of German units but I have no idea what they mean in english....like whats the difference between the Waffen(SS)...and the paratroops? Is there a quality or firepower difference? I know the main branch translations but I dont know the differnce between the units inside the branches.

Thanks for the input guys, I just got the game yesterday and have nothad too much time to read the manual. That information answered my question exactly, thanks.....

Where are you guys putting your mortors so they can shoot at something other than the guy five feet out? How do I get them to blind fire into the woods or at suspected positions without a clear LOS, do I really have to put them on a really high hill.....please help.......they just sit there with nothing to blowup.

It would be pretty cool if they had grapics for hand to hand when there was nothing else firing at that moment you could watch your guys kicking butt or getting kicked.

After watching the movie Battle of the Bulge I just loved watching the Chaffees vaiantly dieing wasting the German gas. I still think they should have sat behind the gully and kept shooting, but thats my opinion.

I was wondering after reading the post COULDNT BELIEVE MY OWN EYES....is there really hand to hand combat in the game, and does it actually show them locked together or just shooting really close and lobbing grenades?

I just think I have found the one game that will be on every machine I ever purchase until the end of my days is all. I own 90% of every wargame, simulation, action game from the retailers but now they sit in a plastic box collecting dust with only a few hours played into them before boredom sets in. I love to watch the GIs storm into a house with two squads of German riflemen and my MG42 meeting their advance and then listen to their screaming...........ahhhhhgotta love it.

I think that dude got lost in the desert. Plenty of ammo, and food, but no map.

Is there any more information on when they are fully updated and ready to ship the game? I have been playing the demo for about a week now, almost non-stop. I do eat inbetween turns and sleep during incoming artillery barrages. Anyone else waiting for their copy while countingthe days? Just curious.
