Well apology accepted, thanks. Anyway the reason I'm suggesting this so much is that I somehow doubt it would take "a bunch of time" to do it. Then again, I don't know anything about hard coding and programming, so maybe it's not even possible.

I hate this thread.

So you didn't even read the post then? I specifically mentioned 'camera rotation' several times. Here's another one:

You're first post wasn't the friendliest in the world, and I took it as flame. anyway, whatever, end of "discussion".

Yes, he wants to kiss and make love to it every night </font>

Do you have some sort of obsession with the the 'roll eyes' smiley? Anyway, I don't read the forums all the time, so I'm not always hip to what's going on.

Oh I'm sorry, I could have sworn that after having payed 50+ dollars for this game that I'd be allowed to post my opinions about it. -Or does BTS hold a "pay up and shutup" policy that I'm not aware of? All I want to do is improve the game for everyone, I don't see what's so wrong about that. I'm not the only one that likes the CMBO camera control more after all. And really, I'd like to hear BTS's stance on the issue, not yours.

Yeah, the games great.

I can go on-and-on about this issue of CMBO camera rotation versus CMBB camera rotation all year, mainly because I just don't see, even after 15+ games of CMBB, why the change was made in the first place (and in a half-arsed way no-less). Why CMBB camera rotation is inferior: 1)Unlike CMBO, you can't reverse (or backup) the camera AND turn, you can only go back in a straight line. You can, however, rotate and go FORWARD. In CMBO you could go forward and back while rotating. 2)It's totally illogical for "circular rotation" [rotation around a point] to be on the top half of the screen, and side-to-side movement on the bottom. Even If it were visa-versa, then problem number 1 [above] would still not be solved since I would then be unable to rotate the camera while moving forward. Essentially the situation is switched, and nothing has been fixed (except, ofcourse, the camera rotation is logical) Myth 3 started this absurd way of camera control and I never thought CMBB would adopt it. It's as illogical as placing the 'enter' door on the left side, and the 'exit' door on the right at a shopping center. My local Albertsons super market has this setup and to this day I always go to the wrong door. I propose that the next patch should allow the option of having CMBO style camera control as an OPTION. I don't like the new camera control, it's simply inferior to the CMBO control. Thank you.

Sod.

I didn't know the stone bunkers had air-conditioning. Anyway, yeah, good shtuff.

It might be due to the fact that I was one of the lucky ones with a defective disk. The install is missing a lot of .wav files.</font>

I'm going to try it again as the Hungarians then. And yes, those tanks looked very impressive, I really like the large bolts that are used to fasten the armor on. Looks like a whole lot of tank skins aren't going to need changing anytime soon, unlike CMBO.

Shutup nimrod! Why don't you... why don't you... uh... why don't you... go nim a rod or something!? :mad:

Make sure that terrain elements are on then go look at the rocky ground texture. What do you see? I see "criss-crossing" of textures. That is, the rocks that stick out have two textures to them. (sorry, can't explain it right) Anyway, the graveyard is the most noteworthy example of using the double crossing method, it looks really strange and I don't like it. Can someone post a few pictures before I go insane? I think this is worth discussing since I feel that it just adds another burden to the CPU for absolutely no payoff.

I liked it, and not just because I'm Romanian and biased, or because my mom is Hungarian. *Warning, spoiler* I tried it with the Rumanians first, but it was too easy since the reinforcements kept coming when I didn't need them. It's frustrating having to issue orders to units that you don't need --did someone say flamethrower team?--. When the self prepelled tank destroyers and Renaults came in, I just about went insane. It's a good map, just too long and easy. If it's long, I want it to be hard.

Does everyone play 'a warm place to sleep' as the Germans? You're supposed to go at it with the Russians, the Germans are way too easy to win with on that map. As a rule of thumb, if the scenario says 'German attack', or anything similar to that, then you play Germans, not Russians unless otherwise noted.

You guys should really consider ditching anti-aliasing, it's not worth the cost in system performance and the image quality isn't as impressive as everyone makes it out to be. I have more fun with it turned off, everything just works smoother.

I am also addicted to online porn. This feels like a support group.

I understand that, Iv'e been doing it since CMBO. But in CMBB there is a NEW feature (or bug) that lets you pause a unit while he is already traveleing on a given path. Make a scenerio with one infantry squad (preferably with a platoon leader so there are no big delays). Give any order you like about 200m away. Press 'go', this will make the waypoint box red in the next turn. When you are on turn 2, press the 'p' button and cycle through the desired pause time. The Squad will now pause for X amount of seconds, then proceed further along the path which was issued on turn one. This was not possible in CMBO! And the manual clearly states that you cannot do this!

Pause bug: In the manual it SPECIFICALLY states that pause orders can only be given when a movement path has just been put down [seen as a white square], and not during the actual movement of the unit along that path [seen as a red square]. The reason for this, as stated in the manual, is to limit the amount of control you have over your units. Too much control is un-realistic because you play a field commander in this game. Actually, I find both methods of pausing to be true. For example, at turn 1 I issue a hunt move for a BT-7 fast tank at 50m away. Turn 2 he's moving, and when that turn finishes --we'll assume that he's about half-way along the path-- I'm able to issue the pause order right then-and-there. Effect? He pauses 10 seconds (or however long you chose to pause him), and then proceeds along the path again. Bug? If not it's inconsistant with the manual. In CMBO you weren't allowed to do this.

*Bump* Thanks again Moon, that wasn't common sense stuff.

Since the topic is armor, I got some questions: What is "plus" armor? (example: One of the Panzer IV's has 50+30 armor on its front upper-hull) Does that represent face-hardened armor? :confused: And if not, how do I know what tanks are face-hardened, and which ones are standard?

Oh wait, yeah I see, I knew that. You made it really complicated though.

I'm confused. All I can picture right now is the early Panther front turret "swivel". It is curved perfectly at half a circle (look at it from the side), but it's not an advantage because it creates a 50/50 change for a round to either fling off into the sky, or fling right into the top hull below the swivel. It's a shot trap. And I really don't have a clue what you just described Snarker... seriously.
