Panzerknacker

A gray targeting line would indicate smoke, which is fairly common. I've seen tanks do it in CMBO too. An orange targeting line would indicate HE or AP, which I've never seen the AI do.

Just got it today, here in Brooklyn NY. I pre-ordered on September 7 (order #80847).

I'm hoping it will...

Jabo is short for Jagdbomber, which translates to "fighter bomber". German submariners had a similar nickname for depth charges. They called them Wabos, which is short for Wasserbomben, or "water bomb".

After talking it over with a friend of mine (who's much more knowledgeable with computers than I am), I decided to get a nVidia GeForce MX2. I should have it installed by the weekend. Thanks for all your help, Schrullenhaft!

I have the latest update for the Starfighter, and my motherboard is non-Intel based. Could that be the problem? I think I'll just purchase a new video card, considering the poor performance of the Real3D card. Are there any you could suggest that would be compatible with a non-Intel based chip-set? As I stated before, I only have one other game (Age of Empires), and I doubt I'll be getting anything else for a long time. Basically, I'm looking for something that'll run smooth with Combat Mission.

The video card is a Starfighter PCI Release 0288. Right now, I only have one other game installed, and it also uses DirectX. I've also tried re-installing the game several times, with no luck.

Thanks for your responses. I don't think it's a heat problem, as I've played other games for long periods of time, and haven't had freezing problems. I have a Real3D video card, which doesn't have an overclocking feature. I tried deleting the preferences file, and rechecking my graphics hardware. I'm running DirectX8.0, and when I check it, it's set for 800x600 monitor resolution, and optimal refresh rate. But when I do the graphics hardware test, the only "can you see this?" message that I can see clearly, shows a resolution of 640x480. And it doesn't show the refresh rate, like it says it should in the manual. I can see the "can you see this?" message for the 800x600 resolution, but it flickers on and off. I'm running Windows, and my desktop is set for 800x600. The CM disk I got is the 1.11 version. I tried the graphics hardware test with the disk as is, and with the 1.12 patch downloaded, but there seems to be no difference.

Hello! This is my first time posting. First of all, I'd like to say that this game is incredible. I downloaded the demo about a month ago, and just had to get the disc. I got it a few weeks ago, and I've been playing it every night since then. Unfortunately, I've been having a problem which I ignored at first (because I thought it was a one time thing), but now it's starting to drive me insane. Whenever I play a scenario the game freezes up on me, usually sometime after my tenth turn. There's no discernable pattern to it. It usually freezes while I'm plotting my next turn, or replaying the last one. Hitting "escape" or the "ctrl+alt+delete" buttons seems to have no effect, and I'm forced to restart the computer. I hope this is something that's easily fixable, as I was planning on starting up a PBEM game. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
