WEAPON42

Not a bone, not a peep, not a scrap, not even a sticking crumb about new bridge features in CMBB,I hope Im pleasantly surprised.

When I first started palying CM I didnt really understand the concept of hull-down untill my tanks were being destroyed at an alarming rate,then I quickly learned where and how to find good HD positions.Did real WW2 tank crews reguarly look for that perfect HD position like we do in the game?Or is this just a gamey thing?Was it tank crew doctrine?

Can someone tell me how I get the original splash screen back?

I hope someone makes a really good scenario about the tiger tanks 1st entry into battle in the Leningrad area in november of 42.What would it have been like to see those monsters coming out you for the 1st time?This potential sceanrio and or operation fascinates me.Maybe it will come with the game?

First I would like to say the AI in CMBO is good and probably the best Ive seen.I was wondering if they were going to fix some of the ridiculous quirks such as dug in infantry all of a sudden come storming out of their foxholes over a bridge only to be slaughtered or most recently when that stellar German AI commander sent out a lone stug111 to do some scouting while he is on the defense?He should be shot for treason.

Ive seen this show twice now and liked it very much.My only question is why the tiger does not live up to its awsome real world reputation in the game? not moddeled correctly in cmbb? reputation gained early in 42&43on eastern front and not as good against late war allied tanks? most tiger crews were crack or elite and in the game ther mostly regular and that was the real difference? can anyone explain this to me?

Does anyone if there will be a full movie replay for CMBB?

Will the mgs on tanks and veh be just as enhanced as the inf mgs?

How much factory fighting actually occured and where?Stalingrad only?How big were these factories?Was there weeks,months, or years of factory fights?

How come telephone poles or electric wires are not modeled in game just for effect?

I guess the german 37mm atg will be available for early russian battles then in CMBB.

What tank is that being portrayed in SPR that blows the american sniper out of the tower? Is it supposed to be a wespe? And why are'nt german 37mm at guns portryed in CMBO?

TCIP play when you get anything captured, mostly machine guns & at guns the game goes bad and can not be finished.Please tell me they are aware of this and are going to fix it.

I must be an idiot.Where are those screenshots of the 2 armored cars and 2 russian tanks coming from?Ive never seen them on any Bone-thro operation.

I dont know how to put this but let me give it a try , "You're nutz"! Have a happy 4th

We are all familiar with the war scene in Saving Private Ryan at the end with the 2 tiger tanks.My question is was that german co a complete idiot or were they real life tactics?Knowing about cm tactics now I would have turned my 2 tigers at the street and kept them there for my base of fire and support.I would have sent 1/2 squads sneaking thru the rubble and bldgs to scout out the enemy.The german co just sent the tank down the street 1st with about 2 sqds behind it.The tank got takin out and the infantry got mowed down.So was that just bad tactics or what a real co would do?

There are many people who have the opinion that houses fall and crumble way to quickly in CMBO.They say houses should be a safe haven for defensive positions and holding out, when more times than not they become death traps.My question is to the populous, does everyone feel houses are modeled correctly in CMBO pertaining to coverage,rate of collapse, protection from small arms fire and tanks?If not is this going to be addressed in CMBB?

Will the german swastika aerial identification flag be in CMBB or modded by someone else?or not at all for political correctness?I believe it was used extensively on russian front.

Just wanted to know when a squad has a hight advantage on a crest,not the slope,doesn't this essentially make them "hulldown" or hide most of there bodies except a small portion of their heads and arms making them harder to hit then the enemy exposed on the slope?Is this modeled in CM? Should it be or am I crazy?

Try playin this way against the AI.Shift-F flags off.Shift-b highlight units off.Only look around from each units 1st person perspective.When you take fire, spot from 1st person veiw only.Look around from that veiw to find enemy.With highlite unit off its very realistic spotting and with these great mods makes some units very diifcult to spot.In real war there was'nt conveinent victory flags, nor was your enemy highlited with bright fluresent squares.It takes some getting used to but is very realistic and fun.For an added challenge put a 30 sec time limit on each of your units to spot then goto next unit.Try it and let me know what you think.

Im been playing more against the computer lateley because the scenarios are pretty cool, but I find several times the AI does not attack at all or use its reinforcements.One senario I just sat there fo 25 turns and no enemy ever came.I know its not a good attacker, but no attack at all?

what is durandal?

I love the game but Im wondering how come the AI does some really stupid stuff?Im attacking and the allies are in foxholes.Why at the first sign of trouble would they leave there foxholes and advance towards me in the open?Hq units as well?Why would allie AT gun open fire at first sight of enemy activity instead of waiting for tank target?

i recently downloaded Deanco interface mod/gunmetal and CM mod-option selector.They are great and would like to keep them, but now i cant read scenario labels when you hit shift-L.They are there, but all blurry and bunched up and unreadable.You would think then that warning labels would be affected in same way(shift-g), they are fine. how do i get labels(shift-l) back to normal? please help weapon

When playing a human opponent recently I was defending a small village.I was aproximatley in the center of town and rushed to the edge and torched up some prime cover wher he might advance to.This made my opponent somewhat upset.My question is does he have a right to be upset or was this a real ww2 tactic?If it was not a real tactic can someone please tell me why?It seems to make perfect real world sense when you are on defense and outnumbered?
