  1. Alright thanks for the info. But im gonna have to disagree with you when you dont need atillery support on small battles like i play. Some times the computer decides the want to start a fire and camp for me to come to them, or other wise ambush me. If i dont see any enemies in the first 3 minutes it goes to artillery support. No problems though.
  2. OK now the ARtillery PArt. I always have trouble deciding which artillery to choose. I think mortars are good against infantry, cheap, and usally lots of ammo. And the bigger ones expensive less ammo and good agaist well about anything. On my infantry battles i believe artillery spotters are a nesscasry ingrediant to winning a battle. But like i said i have no idea what ones to use. I believe i used a 5.1mm maybe, on a gun and it wiped it out with 6 rounds, i was impressed. The major question here is though, what is the best artillery spotter for infantry, and considering i like small battles(300-600 points, small maps, good amount of trees, and small hills) what should i use. Sometimes when i do go mechanized are the greyhounds worth putting in. They are the only light tank in the american vehicle selection. Plus the nice 2 machineguns make, well sometimes, or aatleast sounds like, would make mince meat of the Germans. And the nice cover support smoke ordinace is also nice for advancing. But the question is are they worth it, or would a half track with 250 rounds be better? Sorry im really bad at asking questions, or atlest organizing them, But thanks for the info. I enjoy reading how things actually happened in WW2. Wade
  3. OK. I play alotof QBs these day. And of Course as infantry only. I dont like handling tanks and vehicles. But anyway. Im having some troubles with cannons on either side. Usally i play as The Heer or American Airborne. I use the 75mm on both side. And in The AA i use 105mm(great gun). But by the damn time they get to there designated spot the battles half over. If i used mechanized my poor infatry soldiers would get chewed up by the dreadful machine guns on them. I was wondering if anyone uses cannons on infantry only battles for QBs. Sometimes if your lucky enough you might get a hill in your territory. But most of the time i get Trees or a valley to start in. Also i would like to also have my purchases checked. For the german Heer i use the Smg Squad and the volksgrenadier rifle squads for range. And then i get support machine guns and mortars. Then the infamousm artillery spotters. I cover my advancing SMG squads with rifle 45 squads and machine guns. Then when i get close my smgs tear up anything in the proper range. I kinda use a blitzkrieg tactic except in a battle. And some info on how to get flame throwers up to the front line with out being corpsed before they get the enemy in tange would be nice too.
  4. Thats very interesting that the freighters were sunk in the artic sea with the shermans.It would be great to see one. Almost makes me want to win a lottery ticket and find some of those puppies. TO bad there problyall damn rust by now. How did the freighters sink? WW2 weapons are pretty interesting to me.To bad i only seen 2. A jeep(not a weapon but oh well) and a 105mm cannon in a city park.
  5. I was wondering if some of these questions couldbe answered about the scenario editor. In cmbo i played about 90% QBs and SE made maps. I noticed one feature, in Yelnia Stare a german squad already had a casulty in the setup screen. Anyway. 1. Will you be able to make squad captured.(i like jail break missions, hard to do in BO though) 2.Place abandoned vehicles. (never know) 3.I cant think of any more but i will later. Im still having troubles deciding to preorder or not. I barely figured out about cmbo. When i used to play r6 on msn gameing zone, i dled the demo of cmbo, i musta played chance encouter 70 times. Those were the days. Wade
  6. they should of put America or British just for, um, fun i guess. Ya the Americans or British didnt help in that part of the war but oh well. Maybe someone should make a mod in english with a russian accent or whatever country. I still remember a little german from cmbo however. But im quite sure they say more then cmbo. Anyone know any good WW2 movies, i just saw the end of Band of Brothers and it was pretty good. Wade
  7. What are the counties that are going to take place in the game i already know a few. The germans, russians, finns, italians. What english speaking countries are there. Cause ill want to command atleast one army that i can understand.
  8. I just thought of another good 1. Remember the T1 or was T8 recon car. It actually had a rotating .50 cal, well that you could actually see. Will all the mgs do that on vehicles and tanks in CMBB. I loved this thing in cmbo too bad it had only 25 shots.
  9. Well thanks for the info, or atlest most of it.
  10. Well i guess i will just have to go with the cmbo interface for awile. the sounds really arnt that diffent. Wait a sec, i tried replacing all the interface sounds with the oringal but it still ditn work so then i copied the interface bmps from cmbo then it worked. Oh well no major problem, only that i cant see the after action reports how ever.
  11. I have a few questions, about various things i have seen or thought about in the demo. 1.Dont the russians use similar uniforms today then back in WW2? 2.Does the wind affect artillery and tank accuracy? 3.There will be a scenario editor? (i think there is because some of the hot keys) 4.What the hell is that russian LT wearing on his head? (i thinks a knakie, The german tank commander has one too) 5.Will there be any country that speaks english? (US, British anybody?) 6.Is there such thing as a Russian elite? 7.Is there a way to make the damn trees stop swaying? it looks like there alive, and its mind boggling too because the screens always moving. 8.Do the pistols do more damage now then they did in cmbo(seems like it. Damn Russian tank crew!) 9. I never really figured this out from cmbo, Why does morale get decreased when you split troops? 10.well thats all that i can think of right now, Dont have to take them all seriously, you already knew that. Oh one more is soft ground good for hiding in? Thats all.
  12. I dont think the demo is that bad. I played the tutorial senario atleast 10 times in the last 2 hours. 9 times as the russians. Won it 6 times with morale above 91%.
  13. I did my bitchin earlier but now that i got the game fixed i think it will be a superb game. Well Enless there isnt a senario editor.
  14. Just now i was messing around and decided to replace the original cmbo wavs and bmps over the cmbb bmps and wavs and it worked. So that means either a sound or a bmp, when you go into the sneario screen, makes the game crash. Im looking into that right now. The game doesnt exactly look good with the cmbo interface. But the game is lovely. I like how you can see the bullets hit the ground. And the trees sway in the wind. But my damn ATI radeon grapics card was defective so i have got to get that replaced. Or maybe ill just get a diffrent one. One question is the russian LT wearing a knaki or what the hell is that thing? Anyway ill report back in the next hour to see if i cant find the problem.
