Something, mortars, arty, had to have set that brush on fire. I've never seen a hot exhaust start a fire in CM. Restart your playback movie, zoom in very close, try this from all angles you'll see something/someone trying to take out your Matildas. KC

Damned Yankees, I *knew* we should have supported 'em in Iraq!! Who'd have thought they'd treat us like this? KC

Gurra, Any missing bumps in some of the Mr. Noobie files would have nothing to do with Astrocat. I have forwarded what files I had left remaining in my mod file to him, what remains of them I certainly don't know, nor would Astrocat. If I didn't think I'd ever use a particular version of a mod sometimes I'd delete those particular bmps., sometimes I wouldn't, and I cannot remember which ones have been butchered. And as Astrocat has pointed out, these files have no author identification, we are *guessing* they were from Mr. Noobie. KC

Sounds hopeful. 2 questions 1) is it about 5.5MB in size 2) is there a pic in the zip that shows a summer T34, a whitewash T34 & a snow covered T34. If so its the one. You can either send to AstroCat who will post or post yourself at www.cmmods.com under the section that says 'Add a CMBB Mod.' Thanks for helping out </font>

Err....I've got many early CMODS downloads, definately a 'T34M41', that I think is Mr. Noobs, where it should be uploaded to....or maybe I could send it directly to you? edited to add; contact me direct if you like, e-mails in profile KC

My Lite-On cd works just fine. Go here for a reference, cheap and dependable. KC

Carl, It's that blue line that I'm trying to improve upon....thanks for confirming my thoughts. KC

Having played CMBB now for the full year I'm considering upgrading either my CPU(P4 1.6 toP4 2.4) or my vid card(MSI G3 Ti200w/128MB to G4 Ti4200). Which will give me the most bang for my buck for playing CM? I'm thinking it's the CPU, but then again I have difficulty useing my new cell phone, which I hate BTW. FTR, I'm not interested in playing Half-Life or any of the more demanding games. Thanks in advance for any replies

COG Absolutely no need for an apology! Your site, as others here have mentioned, has been a boon to this community, your efforts get 10 attaboys from me. Hell man, do a poll here on how many members have your site bookmarked, just about as many who have this forum on their bookmarks I'll bet, just think about that?! All on your own also, we OWE you my friend. KC

* peeks in quickly.........yikes, this could prove interesting........pulls up chair and waves* hi mom

This happened to me in a recent PBEM. My T-34 was "gun damaged" by an errant mortar round, I was able to use the hull MG only after that. I don't necessarily see this as *gamey*! This was the only AFV provided by the designer, and it was in a *life or death* situation. I'd call this real life drama rather than gamey. KC

Not to discourage you but the SB Audigy 2 works fine for me. I had to get my speaker/digital/analogue combination set right, which was a little confusing, but if your other games are playing fine....I'm lost( shrug ) Wait a minute...are you using XP? When I first installed XP I clicked the compatability button to Win98 and the sound was messed up, after going back and unclicking all was fine. Hope I helped.

Try turning EAX off for CM. KC

I'm useing 'em with my G3 Ti200 and it seems to be running smoothly, even though Windows cautioned me not to. I see others are useing 'em with their G4's with good results. KC

Stingray; Maybe you can find something in here . I've loaded the 44.03 and it is working well with my GForce3 Ti200(even though XP cautioned me not to). Yours I'm not so sure. If your very PC challanged I'd be very cautious, sometimes it is hard to backup, wait, are you running XP? if so, it's very easy to start over. Luck, KC

88mm is right on, just make sure the vid card is set to 4XAGP, this seems to help, oh, and get those new drivers Matt talks about and you should be up and running. KC

Everytime you alt+a to quit the game, the previous turn is autosaved. rgds., KC

You seem to be experiencing the same *lack of faith* in your artilary as I. For some reason the enemies is always more effective than mine. I did a quick search and found this , hope it helps you more than it has me. KC

Ahhh..I'm not sure. What I meant was; when playing against the AI, it now seems to remember where it was attacked from. As an example I gave the scenario Hornets Nest. I found that if I used the *shoot and scoot* command for a Nashhorn, i.e. up to the top of the ridge, duck back down and went back up to the same locale that by the 3rd time there was several enemy tanks waiting for me. If, on the other hand I got away with this a couple of times with one I had on the far left of the ridge and left him out of sight, but brought the far right up, it would take at least a couple of turns for these tanks to have me sighted in, but, when I brought the first one back up after 3-4 turns, the Allies would take a couple of turns to return its focus and so on. Clear as mud? KC

I'd give my (non-mouse) hand to have time to actually play the game... </font>

Are you sure? One of the major complaints in CMBO was that the AI suffered from an incurable case of "out of sight, out of mind" (go to the forum archives and search on "Villers-Bocage," "turret," and "why." ). If this has changed in CMBB, I missed the fanfare. </font>

Soddball does a pretty good job in his FAQ thread. KC

err,....after reading your profile I'm guessing that I should be deferring to your expertise... :eek: Be sure to move your *shoot and scoot guys*, and not just by 10 yds., the AI will lock onto a repetitive position. KC

Monkey Boy, Welcome to CM....be prepared to lose a lot of your time(I couldn't say waste ) playing this addiction. To answer your questions; 1)No, but the version your asking for is on its way, CMAK or Combat Mission Africa/Italy 2)In CMBO there isn't, in CMBB, as pointed out, there is. 3)CMAK is due in fall '03, CM 2 (or is it 3?) will be a completely new engine, bigger, better, faster is due next year. There will be no fantasy editons, BFC has stated that they are about WWII and reality....that's it. 4) well there has been lot's of suggestions as to how to improve upon the actual interface but to date, this is it. BFC are champions when it comes to listening to their paying customers whine and often times when we are right they have made the changes, great game/great company. Again welcome aboard and good hunting, KC

Are you sure your PIII's are not hitting the T-34's? Sounds like your in that window where/when Russia had the German's outgunned. What version are you playing? It's highly unlikely, but watch where your rounds are hitting, in the early(pre-patch) release the were certain situations where your AFV's would send round after round into the crest just in front of them.....and then there some days when your guys just can't hit a thing. Those are bad days! KC
