I would say the reason why russians loose that often are the scenarios provided with the game. Maybe they are historicaly correct but many of them are terrible hard to win...especally for the russians. (Jägermeister,Totenkopf...) Anyway i prefer to play the russians too because it´s more challenging.....and if you get frustrated enjoy a battle against rumanian forces in late 41 .(hehe) Oi ! Skolman

I guess you used a russian tank ? I´ve realized the larger the callibre the lower the hit percentage. I don´t mind with buildings but in a shootout between a Tiger and some IS 2 it hurts ! Oi ! Skolman

Can anyone tell me who is firing the coaxial MG (the one mounted in the turret) Is it the loader or the guy who aims the main gun ? ...and btw : when i see pictures of U.S. tanks like shermans they all have the flexible MG mounted to fire at the rear....was it possible to fire them forward ? Oi ! Skolman

Flame tanks are truly devestating ! i would always buy one in quick battles against the AI ! Remember that there are cheaper versions like the wasp or the badger or thegerman halftrack whose name i forgot. in CMBB they are even more devestating...you should give them a try !!!!" Oi Oi nOI skolman

Tungsten rounds can destroy a tiger easily !!!!

All you guys should take a look at the screenshot posted by Mr. MUD...... I know that infantry is located in a despersed Aerea but the cocktail flew more than 100 metres !!! notice that you can´t give them an order to throw it that far away. Possibly the wind plays a role , but rmember 100 METRES ?! Oi Skolman

Yes Mr.Mud it was exactly the same situation...but i have no saved game of it however in some ego shooters you can activate moon gravity...possibly it´s the same in cmbb ??? I hope Big time software is going to fix it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Oh sorry...höhe 112 was south of caen...

Some time ago i did a Höhe 112 scenario maybe you can find it somwhere...

In a nigth battle one of my infantry squads managed to throw a molotov cocktail over a distance of 100 metres !!!!!! ...they aimed a Panzer IV standing 20 metres away. I would say this is a BIG BUG my friends. ....and no,it was no ampuloment...just ordinary infantry Oi Skolman

It is possible to knock out a medium tank with a DSHK Machine gun (at least in the game). It was was also possilbe in CMBO (from the rear) Cheers, Skolman

Sorry i was stupid stupid stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!! i meant the MALAXA CARRIR not the hungarian Csaba ! Sorry again it was a stupid mistake!!!!!!!!!!

is anyone really using this vehicle and if so just for fun or efectivly ? Oi ! Skolman :cool:

You can use the main gun while firing the flame thrower !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I have seen the same problem in a more dangerous situation. In a tank battle one of my medium battletanks (can´t remember which one it was) refused to fire it`s maingun at an opposing stug III....the stug had in fact more intellect and fired two AP rounds on my tank...enough to destroy it. btw my tank had enough AP HE and c shots to fire... Oi Skolman

I always was a great fan of the bren or universal carrier in cmbo and i really enjoyed it to see this vehicle in cmbb too in the form of the csaba...i thought the bren carrier carries a bren gun so the csaba possibly carries a "csaba mg".....with this in mind i started a quick battle with some of these vehicles to transport my flamethrowers towards the front...when they came under enemy fire i wanted them to fire back to save my FT´s AND THEN CAME THE BIG SURPRISE...the csaba is f"§$ing unarmed !!!!! has anyone some infos or pictures of this vehicle ???? or this there a good website on the rumanian army !!!!!!!!!!!! Oi ! skolman

Tanks can overrun AT guns for sure , but can´t harm infantry.....However in cmbo infantry (in foxholes) ran away when my tank moved over them. You can try it for yourself...create a scenario with a tank that has no machine gun and remove the ammo for the mai gun. then hide some troops that don´t have anti tank weapons in a straigth line in foxholes...set the weather conditions to poor sigth (dense fog)...then let the tank move straigth over them.....the troops jump up and move out of the way of the tank.

I also like the Daimler AC ! With the mod i am using it is the best looking tank in the game !!!! Have you ever played the scenario "just 3 little stuarts" ? if so you will see what these tanks can do!!!!!

...for all CMBO players who still prefer it to barbarossa

Whats your favourite vehicle/tank in CMBO and why ?

Hallo to all ! At least in my hometown, the VS was armed extremely poor (in april 45)....maybe it depends on the date When i see pictures of VS units ,all they carry are Panzerfäuste and normal rifles (sometimes even hunting rifles) except on parades in berlin and in front of great Nazi leaders where you can see plenty MG´s... Oi and a happy new year !!!!

It´s true that conscript volkssturm is no real danger...but remember that you can get conscript troops too when playing the allies (even if it´s a rare event) then you will see how well the VS is armed. Another point is, that CM is famed for it´s realism and it´s a fact that volkssturm units where armed extremly bad...the extra MG´s where usually picked up by remaining Wehrmacht units. The only exception of the guns carried where possibly places like berlin where they where armed like in CM.... Cheers Skolman and a happy new year !

In 2 player game i once pushed a Daimler AC from a bridge into the water where it stood until the end of the game ! (a fully intact Daimler AC by the way) Oi !

I would prefer the Daimler because its one of the best looking vehicles in the game. If you like to win the game you should choose the tanks !

When i played cmbo for the first time i had no problem with the controls...possibly because i am playing turn based games ever since !
