+1 for this as well. ATGM vehicles with telescopic masts are currently death traps: "1.) Multiple points of LOS generation from vehicles. This one is major because currently LOS comes from only from the center of vehicles now, resulting in ATGM vehicles and recon vehicles with mast-mounted sensors being nothing but cannon and ATGM fodder in CMSF1. Until this is fixed there will be a large number of modern systems that will be broken in the simulation."
Also, I understood (from documentaries on Iraq etc) that ground controllers do give a direction of attack for air, and friendlies pop smoke to show positons etc.
Re political realities in the region for Russia attacking Ukraine and dragging NATO is very low probability due to economics. There is massive western investment in Russia (raise your hand if you own products like LETRX) and Russia has massive exports (and imports) from NATO nations as well. This new reality more than anything bodes well for resolutions other than widespread war... (localized, limited is always a possibility of course).

Can we have shapely female partisans? Um... in various forms of uniform... or not...
-
Anything can set off mines, moving slow is the "safest" option but not 100%.
-
And also should work in CMA I hope.
BTW: I couldn't figure out what d/l button to press for the above file. The site seems designed to confuse so you d/l the wrong thing!!!
Please be explicit... (or upload to CMMODS, even better.)

Can't recall as I played a long time ago. But, I wanted to give it a +1 for a great campaign.
(I do not recall any bonus scenario, but may be wrong...)
-
I wasn't aware of Marco's "compass points in the sky" mod. That's what I want. Is that in repository or CMMODS?
-
I understand. But, this is not the only weapons system in CM2 that uses a particular type of ammo first before other types. For example WW2 rifles use any "AP" ammo first as well.
Of course in game terms it may not make any discernable difference at all which ammo is used. There is no point in making extra work just for a principle. But, you professionals can address whether it does or not.
-
They could be like linear arty calls? Right now, the length (meters) of some air attacks seem awfully long even when one calls for a point or small area attack.
-
AFAIK - Apparently there is a tiny % probability that an inf unit will spot a minefield. There is a greater % probability that an engineer will.
The only way to clear a minefield is to blow enough of it up - by super heavy arty, or running across it with inf or vehicles till they've all been blowed up.
-
Excellent. Thank you!
-
It always puzzled me why in a realistic sim we have been lumbered with this non-RL "device". If you just want an orientation aid, the old "N" on CM1 maps made it easy.
-
Wow. At this point there must be around a hundred different camo helmet bmps available.
-
I need to try Fire Brigade again. But, I spent hours doing set up, then saved and exited. And I couldn't get that saved file to load.
-
What does "Positive Control" and some of the other things the controllers say mean?
-
Thank you. Some of the best campaigns are Red vs Red/Blue.
-
Glad to find that out too. Wish there was a way to specify which type to fire. IIRC the game fires all the PPEH firsy(?) Or is that doctrine?
-
Maybe I misunderstood. I thought his point was that even if you pause at a waypoint for 5 or 30 seconds for an accurate shot, you won't get the accuracy you should expect.
-
This is the same as the one at CMMODS?
-
I was thinking of simply using it as an alt music for the loading screens. So, if you have the wav...
-
Well if there was no $, they probably wouldn't have this available at all.
What a great resource for modders to see what the uniforms and vehicles looked like after a period of combat.
Lots of muck and dirt, and you can almost smell them. Lots of info on para camo patterns.
-
Love the music, BJ!
Any way you can upload that to here or CMMODS in a wav format we can put in our Z folders? I really want it for CMA and CMSF.
-
Re G's great-looking Fire Brigade scenario... I recall that after set-up and save (and exit), I couldn't get the saved game to load.
Was that solved or did one have to actually run the first turn b4 the savedgames were loadable, or some other trick to make it work?
-
I didn't even know what the FG-42 was b4 this thread. But, am impressed that we'll see some of these more exotic weapons. Thanks.

+1 to the "sort units out by HQ" command. Would really help set-up in scenarios where the designer has set up all over the place.
However, I guess the command would not be needed if designers placed units in proper formations for players.
New CMSF large map and mech heavy.Which side/nationality should fight?

NK and/or China are the biggys of course. But, other than in the "Red Dawn" remake where they changed a Chinese invasion of the US to a laughable NK invasion, it's politically hard to make games on those subjects. Otherwise, we would have had Israel vs the Arabs years ago.
