I believe that there are some bits of advice on that issue. I guess Madmatt left some settings on the demo so some people have to go back and reconfig the settings to make it run.Originally posted by mike_the_wino:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Soddball:

I can't think of anything more likely to stop me buying the game than that stupid 'woooo' noise Americans feel the urge to make.
Keerist, get some frigging cultural perspective.

Guderian's book on 116th Panzer and another one I'm reading called 'It never snows in September' (about Arnhem from the German point of view) both continually raise the problem of doing anything - moving vehicles, getting supplies, launching attacks - due to 'jabos'.
Whilst Jason's point that planes rarely killed tanks is probably true (it's hard to get any accurate figures but it seems likely), they wrought havoc amongst everything else.
-
However, the interdiction ability of the fighter-bomber is consistently underplayed by you. Reducing the mobility of the enemy and keeping him off the roads, as well as hitting his supply lines, disables his armour and his attack strength just as surely as hitting the armour itself.Originally posted by JasonC:It is all pure bilge - they didn't destroy jack, even with rockets.
Trucks, railway boxcars, sure. The odd locomotive (big enough, and a derailing hit will wreck it). Total German AFVs KO'ed from the air in the west were between 50 and 200, with the lower end of that range far more likely.

Yah, well, welcome to the MOD's procurement policy. This year they've spent £2.3Bn on new offices (including £1,000 per comfy office chair) and £47.19 on equipment for the armed forces.Originally posted by YankeeDog:Great googly moogly. That's brass balls for ya.
And ya; Apaches are a very good attack helicopter, but obviously a much less effective troop transport; is it really true that the British Armed forces has absolutely no kind of VTOL light troop transport hardy enough for use in a combat environment? That would be a very serious procurement oversight. . .
Cheers,

Wankers. :mad:

I think Jason overstates his point. There can, under certain circumstances, be a 'cheat'.
Is it significant? Not IMO. I doubt that I've played as many games as Jason, but in my experience the 'reverse slope bug' isn't a big deal.
I've played few games where I haven't turned up without mortars. A dozen rounds on target will solve the problem. Failing that, area fire with a MG will suppress the gun.
ATGs are spotted too easily in the game anyway. This was never a deal-breaker for me.
-
As opposed to your 'Game-ily work up one edge', which is sporting and gentlemanly?
-
Because if you target the MG nest and the MG becomes suppressed, it can become invisible to you. Your vehicle will then stop firing at it and it will be able to recover.Originally posted by Nightkin:Hello!
Just thought about it. Why area fire on the mg nest, if its less supressive than direct targeting the nest?
Greetings...
By using area target, fire will be continuous and you have a better chance of breaking the unit and forcing it to rout.
-
Would those have been common enough to cause the uparmouring? And even with the uparmouring, what's the chance of stopping an 88 round?Originally posted by Andreas:10cm K18
8,8cm Flak 38
15cm sFH18 Panzergranate
Those are some I could think of.
All the best

If these were manufactured for early T-34s (that is I assume those in combat in 1941-1942), does it suggest that existing armour was inadequate even with that slope? What would T-34s have been facing in 1941 that made such extra armour necessary?

Congratulations!Originally posted by Nietzsche:Thanks guys! I was somewhat unfocused late last night when I made this one. Feeling kinda uneasy for some reason. About 15 minutes after posting it here my wife told me the water broke...

I hope CM Shock Force will be ready by the time he turns 18 so he can kick his dads ass in a friendly game of CM SH...

If you're couping, you'll have to coup my coup or I'll have to coup your coup.
-
Beyond about 1.5km the accuracy on the 88 is very poor - far poorer than one reads about in accounts of its use in Africa, for example.
As has been said here, use MGs or sharpshooters to button tanks, use covered arcs and hide commands for the AT guns, and use the reverse slope of hills to protect you from HE blasts.

Well Michael Dorosh we are Australians...its like saying Canadians are Americans...the only style thrashing we give out is an Aussie one.

Have to say I'm beginning to feel the same way. For some reason I assumed the kind of people who play these tac games were a cut above the usual teenage FPS-whoring retards, but after some of the comments in another thread in the CMBB forum I've revised that assumption. </font>Originally posted by Sigrun:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Hitori Kyo:
