Is a custom difficulty option possible? (see why)
japinard replied to japinard's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Ok thank you Ian. And thanks again for all your advice and input in my threads. I really appreciate it. -

japinard replied to japinard's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
hehe. Well this difficutly option I'd like is just for me vs. AI. I wouldn't mind any other difficulty types vs. a human. But for me vs. AI I like lots of movie-like immersion. -
This is something I've always wanted in CM games. I like playing at Veteran difficulty level but I would like the spotting and audio options of basic training. I like seeing actual enemy units be engaged, and not the generic markers. If there was some way to mod this or if this exists that would be awesome!

You guys are AWESOME! Thanks! Another question. There are a TON of maps. Is there a way to quickly preview them? Going into a quick battle one by one to look at them is super time consuming. Basically what I'm looking for is a defend town map where I can be the attacker and devastate the town with massive artillery. Are graphic and sound mods still recommended since I have 3.x? I didn't know if they updated all the graphics in CMBN or not with that update.

I have quite a beefy system and I just purchased the rest of CMBN, and have the demos for CMRT, CMFB, and CMFI. Every one of these games, in a medium to large map with a medium (not large) amount of units becomes extremely painful to play. Checking with both FRAPS or Mirrilis Action shows my frame rates hover between 10-20 fps. I've seen lots of posts where people have systems much worse than mine maintaining 30 fps. It might be my NVidia graphic options bu am not sure. I would appreciate any help at all. Here are my specs: * 2 Nvidia 970's in SLI with latest drivers and standard global settings. * Intel i7 4790k * Asus Maximus VII Formula * 16 Gig of high speed RAM * Creative Labs SB Zx for sound * Operating system on high speed SSD along with all the of the Combat Mission games * No mods yet. CMBN updated to the 3 module and fully patched.

Awesome! Thank you! -
Hi everyone, sorry for so many questions lately. I don't know if it's the quickbattles I setup, but I can't figure out the following: * I have lots of artillery but can't seem to call them in. I know many say they need a spotter, but does the spotter really have to actually see an enemy? I just want to call in artillery support to a vague area. * I want to move a AAA piece and I moved a truck to the front where the hitch would be, but I can't find a command to hook it up so I can move the gun somewhere else. Is this even possible in the game? * How do I resupply ammo? Do the ammo bearers just need to be nearby? * How can I make more points available in quick battle beyond huge? I'd like to have unlimited so I can use like 12,000 points, but huge points just seems to be 5,000 Thanks for the help!

Do the improvements in this game work in Normandy game?
japinard replied to japinard's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Artillery and air bombings that create the most devastating visual impact. So whatever creates the largest craters, does the most expansive damage. For or tank on tank battles I like the ones where the tanks can take a beating due to heavy armor, but also the self propelled artillery pieces as well. I love the German "tanks" with no turrets. And of course flame-throwing tanks. -

Which game has the best tank on tank battles, the best kinds of tanks, and the most best and weirdest vichiles? Also artillery... I LOVE artillery. In CMBB I used to set up whole battles of just a few infantry groups with tons of artillery vs. a huge army on enemy soldiers. Rocket artillery is a plus. Especially the German Nebelwarfers and Russian Katyusha -

So based one what you have, what do you think I should purchase? In the old days the most fun I had was the CMBB. I just loved the massive variety of tanks, artillery, and parity between German and Russian forces. It was amazing for its time. Thanks for the help IanL! -
I was specifically looking at the camera angles and the hit decals that would really make the Normandy game a lot more fun for me. It's been a long time since I've played a Combat MIssion game - specifically because fighting the camera and interface was not fun years after the original CMBB games. Hope to hear from someone so maybe I will get back into Combat Mission games! Been so long I'm not sure where to start (for reference I have Normandy, and the expansion Commonwealth and Market Garden).
