Yeah, and it is really nice when you penetrate the ealy tank's roof with a 50 mm mortar...

Hello.
Please post next time SPOILER before you put anything like this. I'm currently playing this operation and did not spot the the KV (or KW as the Germans said) so far.
:mad:

Hi there.Originally posted by P5:What I have read, the Germans threw everything that they had against the Russians. That means that it was a very mixed fighting force.
The last Battles were actually fougth by foreigners. They could not go home, while most Germans tried to put on their civilian clothes and get home somehow - many were hanged for corwardness in the last days. In Berlin itself, a lot of Beligium people (SS Wallonie) had the questionable honor of defending the center...
They did not dared to go home with a SS tatoo. Actually, a lot of guys like that get killed by their own people without a trial...

Sorry I don't remember the name of the book and I don't own it. I don't think that PanzerGren were involved just Mot. Infantry. The Opels weren't operated cross country - just mobbed up fleeing Soviet Inf. from Sevastop after the fall of the fortress.Originally posted by Michael Dorosh:Can you print a quote regarding the use of 2 wheel drive trucks for cross country pursuit and mounted infantry operations, or point me to your source? I apparently have some reading to do![/QB]
Greetings to Canada!

You are right. The T-34 has also to be viewed from an operational level. It has a Diesel engine - its range was about 600 km (with drop tanks). The Christie suspension on the wider tracks proved to be superior under conditions where German tanks refused operation.Originally posted by EightInchArty:Germans were most impressed about the mobility of T-34. Wide tracks and good transmission.
Especially, with the first snow in 1941 the Germans experienced that the T-34 kept going while their tanks got bogged or freez up. The Germans start to call the tank "Schneekönig" - king of the snow because of its great mobility in winter.

I think the IS series had terrific tanks. The draw back of them and the post-war tanks was the gun depretiation (right word?) of only 3 degrees. So the hull-down thing was a problem...
Hopeful this will be modelled in latter CM parts...
-
Believe it or not German infantry used also their Opel Blitz to hunt enemy infantry while going full speed and balsting out of every possible spot. Ouf course this was extremely rare (I only remember one incident - after Sevastopol) but the later Opels had a little hatch for an lMG on the right side of the roof...
The rear mounting in the halftracks is ment for a second MG. I'm not shure why there is non, but I think it is for the squads lMG.
Afterall, it might be possible to shoot your weapon from a HT, especially while it is stopped - BUT I can live pretty good with the fact that it is NOT modelled. It is just a game and you can't put everything in...
Sorry for my English

OUTSTANDIG!I hope we will see it soon. Will Tom's host this mod?
Keep on working...

Ahh finally a FELLOW Holsteiner on the forum! Where are you from my fellow country man? Maybe time to form up the Überholstein connection.
Come to Holstein where the cows are "schwarz-bunt" and the girls are ugly!

I would like to see WW I style "Reichskriegsflagge". I am not too fond of those Nazi symbols...

One of my grandpas lost 5 out of his 6 six brothers on the East Front. He self got cripled. As a Social Democrat in Danzig/Gdansk first they put him into a concentration camp then he put him into the Wehrmacht. After returning because crippled he lost his beloved home and had to flee to Northern German.
War sucks.

Know I finally understand what "outplacement" is.

Thanks everybody! Check the link, the Steyr is quite impressive. More posts welcome!

Hi.
I wonder about modern versions of At rifles. Are there any? Of course there isn't any chance to hammer any MBT with it but maybe lightly amored things like personal carries and stuff...
I remeber a pic of a russian made 20mm (!) sniper rifle wihich is intened to blind MBTs and ever hammers things like a M113. It was possible to be carried by 2 man while put into two parts.
Does a weapon like this make any sense when all this Anti-Tank rockets are issued like popcorn to the troops. Maybe a bit more inexpensive (& ineffective).
I look forward toyour posts (links?)...

My don't set up a poll. Campain or not? I would like to see one - but it will be hard to do one that isn't gamey, boring,...
We will get to know in some years...

Yeap - clip operated, as adopted from an AA gun. I heard about 10 per clip.

I get to know when a Finnish girl told me that she has "Pacon" on her Pizza.Originally posted by tero:Originally posted by Shadow 1st Hussars:
We Finns get to use alfabets like B, W, G, X, Z and C very seldom in our language.

Not every thing from Finland is "über". I just had a lecture on eCommerce held by a Finnish professor. She proudly told us that she is able to talk 20 hours non-stop on this topic. Well, that's not a problem with 3 words per minute.
Perhaps she was just thinking all the time - "How take out a M1 Abrahams with my Nokia?"

I really like the CM "we go" system. I keep wondering why other developers do not adopt it. It seems that BTF will stick to the WW2 scebario and that's fine. I would also like to play WW1 or even Alexanders battles against the Persians... we will see what the future holds...
By the way, is their any future or current product of WW1 battles worth playing (so I exclude the "Great war", by Jowood)?
Thanks for your replies...

The Prinz doesn't behave like his historical counter part - but maybe his name is taken from the Heavy Cruiser rather then from the Prinz.
Prinz Eugen der tapfere Ritter - Prince Eugen the brave Knight (German poem) wouldn't do so.
Nice that the Dutch doesn't appretiate swearing. I some time have to but...

Hej Miikka,
don't worry
I made a joke. Just had a talk with another Mi(i)kka. Dicovered no problems. -
I had some thoughts about posting my disappointments - I feared it would lead to nothing and it did.
Of course I have only MY limited point of view. And I'm still disappointed. My "small" picture differs a lot of the "big" one you have. I hope you make a lot of money - so that there will be future projects. And I don't give a .... on how people judge my opinon - especially not when they are from Finland. And BFT guy - I keep wondering why you seem to feel your self be personaly insulted when a student is posting his views. And of course again it's just my way...

Thank you, Prinz Eugen. Now I know that I'm not the only stupid one here. What I try to explain is, that if I don't want to have the German version, I CAN'T PRE-ORDER.Now, preorder CMBB and be happy for ever after or shut up.:mad:
But for a PRINZ the German version shouldn't be problem...
