Why is the terrain looking so strange?
-
As long as the FRG doesn't demand the stolen german newsreels (and not only the newsreels) back, black channels will try to make a profit from it.
But Romano Archives gives a slight impression, what has been withheld from the public and what extremely cut and quality wise degraded stuff has been spread for decades to create a certain intended effect.

Didn't know it works like that! Seriously? My my, looks like it's time for my gaming knowledge upgrade...
Nope. I meant in reality a cover arc in conjunction with hide would equal to an ambush. Only my wishful thinking it would work that way in CM.
-
Setting an AMBUSH zone. The important thing is good concealment terrain to ambush. If you want your ambush to be more like “hide” with better concealment give a SLOW order one action square away so the troops stay prone
Never noticed that they stay prone. :eek: Very cool trick.
Do you also have such a wonderful solution for ambushing ATGs?
-
A very important observation! Tx for sharing.
-
Please not another command.
If there is a cover arc and a hide command, IMO this IS ambush and should work as ambush.
A hide command without a cover arc means all heads down and only minimal spotting - very similar like it is now.
And a hide command with a cover arc of a unit that has not moved, also means ambush, but should give the unit a huge camouflage bonus, if it is in woods or bushes.
-
This is not my impression. I had a infantry gun hidden in woods and foxholes and it was spotted from a moving infantry (not even hunting) from 200 m. But it happened in CMFI v2.0. Dunno how big the difference in v2.x1 would be
-
And if it would should show some nice infantry and vehicle action already on the preview pic, it would make more people interested in downloading it.
It also should be mentioned in the instructions, that the Z-folder should be moved before testing, otherwise mods could impact the measurements.
I think it would also be good, to have list of the parameters to fill out.
I'll start with an example list, maybe others want to correct or update it?

I think it would be very hepful, if two saved games (one medium and one large scenario) with a 1 minute playback would be put up.
With a fixed camera position (e.g. locked to unit) with Fraps quite objective measurements should become possible.

Why are some of you guys so mean?
They call themselfes tolerant and are stupid enough to even believe that.

With the war being lost and facing western allies with whom they had not the slightest quarrel, they had basically no reason to risk their lives in battle.
The western alliies were the reason, why their nations became occupied by the Communist criminals again.
Especially the tenthousand Cossaks that received the word of honor from the British Army not to be deported into Stalin's and Tito's hands and as soon as they had laid down their weapons becauseo of this promise, the Brits and the war criminal Churchill immediately deported them into Stalin's, the praised liberators, hands. And you wonder why nobody has ever heard of them again? :mad:
The fighting in the occupied nations in the east ("liberated" in New World Order Orwell speak) continued long into 1948 and beyond despite the incredible fierce communist terror.
It's absolutely logical, why the story of these true patriots is unknown and untold in a world where the globalists have prevailed over the idea of independent and souvereign nations.
-
if you still want them to run around in line formation then you don't need to use the option.
That's exactly the problem, not the benefit: to achieve good results against good players, they must be used, if available.
More commands and possibilities force players to use the tools delivering better results.
A different thing would be to make these additional commands an option valid for both sides like FoW levels.
-
Infantry formations are probably number one on my CM wish list. One day, I hope they will be included.
I hope they will never make it. Already very much micromanaging possible and with formations it would become even more.
One of the attractions of CM is, that the player does NOT always has available what he would need and he has to cope with the shortcomings.

The "democracies" secret services check the high ranking officials several generations back, the US president's security service is famous for that. The Marxists liquidated millions (including their families) during peacetimes and could become Ally of the democrats.
But Hitler followed the vision of the Volksgemeinschaft and therefore everyone who showed his loyalty to the new Germany (a declaration of war against Germany in early 1933 naturally excluded a certain powerful group of that) was accepted and his past was forgiven. Former Communists even could become ambassadors. Indeed a radical cleansing...
While Lenin and Stalin liquidated all reactionaries, and Röhm, chief of the SA, was for a cleansing of the Reichswehr, Hitler wanted to avoid this and reached everyone his hand who honestly wanted to help building up the new Germany.
It's very simple: if Hitler would have done at least partially what the Anti-NS-Propaganda is claiming, the biggest betrayal in military history would have not been possible in that dimensions.

On the snowy pic the soldiers are not wearing gloves. Please, give us gloves it's damn cold!

WOW. Speechless.

A really beautiful map, but even for my untrained eye for graphics on an old laptop display,
the graphics in CM are underexposed, have too much color/saturation(?) and way too less contrast
(contrast of the medium levels is missing, while the compression of dark and bright levels into saturation of black and
white are missing, too; this makes for the flat washed out unnatural look).
If you look at real photographs, areas in shadows are much darker overall (nonlinear compression of darker areas towards dark),
while surfaces in the sun are much brighter overall (nonlinear compression of brighter surfaces torwards brightness).
If there is no contrast compensation possible at the GFX-driver level, I'm wondering if at least shadows could be darkened and the sun be brightened?

Amazing pictures! the jgdtiger is a beauty...If the German army had concentrated its production capacity in the Jagdtiger I'm sure they would have won on the Russian front
With the biggest betrayal in military history on the german side, because of the not carried out political cleansing after Hitler had taken power, all the achievements of the german soldiers and scientists were like drops in a bucket full of leaks.
-
Brilliant work. Hopefully this will get fixed ASAP.
-
Hardcore javier,
do not forget, you are not allowed to use single Jagdtigers but only in full formation and you are not allowed to use them as support weapons in combined attacks.
They are intended for smashing tank concentrations on the operational sized scale.
Good luck.

I only had time to play about 5 minutes of a quick battle defending against the AI and it seems almost like a whole new game, in a freaken awesome way. I was defending against mechanized inf so the lightly armored vehicle opposition might have dramatized the difference (since there was an extra change w/ respect to aiming vs light vehicles) but still, the mgs seemed SUPER powerful compared to before. It seems like where your guys used to just shoot bullets at the other guys, now they shoot big STREAMS of bullets at em! I feel like my guys might finally melt a barrel one of these days now
This sounds almost to be too good to be true.
I'd be interested if this is only the result of a little parameter tweaking or if the MG-model has been improved or if a bug was found?
From what you guys are reporting, suddenly quick changes of the MG's positions should become a tactically important thing, if these weapons now are the deadly threat for infantry they have been?
-
just did a quick test
1 heavy MG section (1xMG34 and 1xMG42) against a platoon of US infantry (everything regular experience). The US infantry was advancing over open ground (from 1000m to the MG position) using a quick command.
the MG section was deployed in two foxholes. The section managed to halt the US advance at around 500m. The whole US platoon was shaken from the big amount of wounded and dead. Small arms fire (especially MG fire) really seems to have a much larger impact in the surpression bar. even squads that were not directly shot at kept their head down. looks nice. thank you BFC !
WOW. Has a dream about realism in CMx2 come true?

Dead it looks indeed.
Without sun and shadows i find this terrain hardly readable.
Grass? Nothing greener than grass in spring.
