  1. I can run CM with my dog! Each time I throw my CD, he runs and bring it back to me. Hey - that's cool. I can even make my dog run with CM
  2. Another good smell mod: catch & kill same rats (or cats, dogs, what ever you prefer) place the half under your table for a week when the week is over roast the others over gun powder til they're black Go to your local butcher and ask for a bucket of guts and blood. Drob it in your room. The battlefield will never again smell so realistic. :cool:
  3. I often read here about gun accuracy - guns are to good, not good enough... Well, most people believe it's relative simple to simulate this - it's simple physics, can be pressed in simple formulas, can be realistic simulated in a game. Well, I have never heard that the military ever trusted into a computer program to test their guns. Why? The most important thing is muzzle velocity. High muzzel velocity means flat trajectory means higher accuracy (in simple words). But you won't believe how many things influence muzzel velocity. A few: type of ammo temperatur of ammo temperatur of the gun wastage of the gun quality of ammo dirt air temperature and moisture etc Then we have other things: position of the gun, underground of the position, LOS, target speed, weather. This can be continued. Well, to make it short : it's nearly impossible to simulate a full realistic gun accuracy - and I'm talking only about the physics. NOW add the human factor. Experience has very much influence. An experienced crew just knows how to use their gun best in the different circumstances. From what I can say : BTS has make it as good as possible. Absolutly realsitic - no, of course not. But is this so important? The gun accuracy as it is simulated in CM works equal for both sides. The German for example don't have an advantage, just because we all believe to know that German guns are better. BTS takes a few important and known parameters for the calculation of all guns, so all guns are simulated in the same way. No '88-bonus' or something like that. IMO, that's fair, as realistic as possible and necessary and - damned - it works and it gives us the best of all games. [ 10-29-2001: Message edited by: Puff the Magic Dragon ]</p>
