Seems no reason to suppose that within 24 hours given an adequate supply of defence stores that pits with overhead cover could not be constructed. Pre-fab pillboxes in steel or concrete can be quickly set up. I am not sure how this equates to the time periods of CMC though.

So....if you can add an s60 or voroshilovets tractor, a T-28 might be included too?

?

Seems to me that CMBO is in a museum, CMBB obsolete, CMAK obsolescent. All are good fun, but the models are looking dated (nip over and look at IL2:FB), 3 man squads a giggle, and one skin-many models rather sad. I still enjoy the game, but I Hope nest time They will m ake an engine pack and option packs for various theatres so that the game engine stays up to date, and I can buy the areas of interest to me.

Ahh What a great pity. I so looked forward to CMBB, My favourite period is the initial period of war on the Eastern Front. I was greatly disappointed by the omission of the T-28, T-35 T-50, amphibious capacity for T37, T-38, T40, Komsomolets tractors, anything to move heavy soviet AA, cretinism of molotovs. I loved the KVs and the sounds. Sigh Still I well and truly got mu monies worth. Wol

What on earth makes you think Luftwaffe Flak did not engage tanks?

They did say there would be one last patch...any ideas when? This is starting to look like a declining research project Wol

But maybe the last before CMBB2 I suppose, and all the other games that BFC seem to have anounced for the future. Can you guys enable some greater arcs for MG sub-turrets by the way?

Actually, I think that Mr Tittles gives a good (if ad hoc)account of why such figures can arise. It is precisely because of not counting the same things when accounts are used thatcauses problems. I recall many instances in writings where 'our' KOs (here meaning something like write-offs), are compared with enemy losses. Even worse sometimes our write-offs with enemy losses from all sources. But let us be clear about one thing. Providing an account of how some rubbery figures can be arrived at is not to provide any defence (even if intended) of the utility of these figures. BTW I would have thought that the ratio of KO to TWO was more like 3.5 to one for T34s. I recall that the average T-34 was rebuilt about 3-4 times during the war. Of course, many rebuilds may have been necessitated by mechanical rather than battle damage needs.

How about a comment from BFC? I play russians a lot and i agree that they (MC) harm your chances of success. The russians are too stupid to be even allowed grenade bundles

ditto

Can I mod this myself in some way?

Why are the commonwealth sections led by sergeants? Surely they should be corporals. ???

Rexford writes "The higher Sherman 75mm APCBC penetration in CMAK is due to the publication of face-hardened figures for the round instead of homogeneous armor performance. " but not all face-hard armour resists equally, even if it has the same metalurgical consisteny. So what were the details of the plates from which these figures were derived? How deep was the face layer/transition layers/ What hardness was the face/back layer? & the metalurgical properties. I realise that FH armour was little used, butI doubt if even all German FH armour was produced to the same formulae. cheers Wol

And early war action without at least T-28s is like Normandy without Tigers.

ANd Multi turret T-28s at least.

The T-28s made a significant impact in the leningrad area as I recall... In any case the T-28s in 1941 were at least as reliable as the 1500 odd KVs and T-34, more so in view of the development period and proven technology. They did make over 500 for goodness sake, that is more than all the jagdpanthers and jagdtiger combined! I only hope that battlefront plan this as a suprise for us. The T-50 wouldn't go amiss either. cheers

I was playing around with the A9 the other day and surrounded one with Italian inf to see how the MGs work. They worked as if they were all fixed forward firing guns. That is, they seem to be treated as if they are just fixed forward firing guns, and cannot fire to a flank. Is this right or is it just me? If they are like this (not really multi-turreted at all) Why weren't T-28s included in CMBB? Cheers

Actually I think that Battlefront said there will be a last patch for CMBB. I note in CMAK that the sub-turrets on the A9 do not work (of course) They only appear to fire like fixed forward hull guns in tests I ran. Nevertheless as there were 500 odd produced, they represent 25% of the soviet medium and hevy tank strength on the eve of the Great Patriotic War.

I now have CMAK as well as CMBB. I am pleased to see the early cruisers for the Brits with a Main gun and two machine gun sub-turrets. Can we have the T-28/T-28m40/T-28E now please please please!

try here afv interiors The duties are Commander/gunner, loader, radio operator/hull machine gunner, driver.

quote: Try taking a CAREFUL (read: at level 1) look at the terrain coming down the djebel in Fruhlingswind. There's one quite concealed path and several moderately concealed ones. Using it to your advantage is left as an exercise for the reader. Your eye for terrain just has to be much sharper than it did in CMBB unquote Amazing how you can do this commander's recce without any interference. A crucial part of the commander tasks to look at the ground himself, but quite funny when you can see at an instant every dip and fold on the entire map. How about some sort of graduated detailing of terrain by range based on yopur most forward unit?

I am pretty sure that the HE values are solely dependant on calibre, and not even based on consideration of effective fragments per unit area (which is wrong anyway) or fragments or value at range per linear metre of circumference

I am pretty sure that I set the grants an armour covered arc, and that the secondary 75mm promptly opened up on some inf miles away whilst keeping the vehicle CA. Also, the 75 did not fire when I area targeted an object,and chose main gun, only the 37 fired. When I changed to no use main gun, it only fired mgs.
