Have noticed that Russian arty strikes take a long time to arrive and are not accurate. For area fire you often have to set a point target. If you have a 25m area, the strike will cover 75m etc. If this reflects RL, the Russians are in unbelievable trouble. So, am not sure that I do believe that their arty is this bad.

Could have added. "My wife is always behind me. Like right now for example."

While others may get upset about this, one just has to accept the fact that CM2 does not feature 100% WYSIWYG.

In your example DR, I would save the existing file and carry on to the next mission(s) and see if the PzIV comes back - and let us know here for our info.

So what we're saying is that immobilized is same as destroyed and that what determines if the unit/vehicle returns is the replacement and/or repair rate set by the designer? In the editor are they two separate items that can be adjusted?

I have a "The Cross of Iron" and "The Cross of Iron v2" campaign files. Anyone know what the differences are?

I have tried using MOVE for tired troops and that seems to slow down recovery. Now, I just let em sit doing nothing, doesn't seem to matter if they are on HIDE or not.

Google is wonderful new resource that is highly recommended. At least in CM1 it seems hiding does NOT help recovery.

"...everyone has a phone." Assumptions, assumptions re smartphones... I still actually like talking to people, so have an old flip top. Otherwise... good luck with your project.

IIRC we were originally told (years ago) that HIDE does increase recovery. But, after so many patches and updates, who knows...

Oh dear... You miss the entire point. "Steve has already noted there issue isn't a backlog of ideas. He has plenty." EXACTLY! Example: When I ran a committee the number of "great ideas" was overwhelming and discussions went on uselessly for hours. So, we initiated a policy that whomever came up with their great idea was responsible for implementation. That cut the waste of time by well over 90% and our meetings took minutes instead of hours When people have to commit even a tiny amount like $1, it would cut down a lot of wishes that are not that realistic or serious. The objective is to make folks put a little thought into what it is that they want someone else (ie BFC) to commit thousands of man-hours and money towards.

Really like the Falklands mod. Is that available? Scenarios?

How about that anyone who wants to suggest a new idea come up with just $1 to send to BF to help in raising funds to research the development of the new idea? (Or at least suggest how the new idea will be funded to pay for the development.)

Ooops. I wuz addressing that to the loser: "It would be interesting to read your assessment re what you did wrong and why, and of course what you would do differently in hindsight and why." It appears that everything went wrong for him.

It would be interesting to read your assessment re what you did wrong and why, and of course what you would do differently in hindsight and why.

IIRC it's all the naming convention. Eg; graphic.bmp; graphic 2.bmp; graphic 3.bmp etc. IIRC you should NOT have a graphic 1.bmp as that messes things up. Am sure there are modders here who can be more accurate. Try asking on other forums.

Hadn't noticed that obvious point. But yes, +1.

Clearly another billion dollar DoD development project.

Yes, asking for an explanation was my joke. Didn't translate well.

We had a big discussion elsewhere on these forums about bogging. Someone did tests with vehicles crossing walls, fences and hedges using FAST vs SLOW and according to the tests, there was NO difference in the % chance of damage (in the game). Not intuitive at all. We have to appreciate that this is still a game and some things do not reflect RL. Al long time ago there were extensive tests using different types of terrain. But, perhaps updates and patches have changed all that.

Unfortunately, jokes in English often don't work here as many don't have English as a first language. Can you explain the joke?

Looking forward to playing. However, am in middle of a couple other campaigns...

Am hoping the beta is the "final" version of each campaign. Anyone else know of more "final" versions out there???

I now sent you a reply via the BF message system. See if that works.

What's the "Stug" campaign?
