In fairness, there were serious ammunition issues with the MP44. There were plenty of stocks of standard rifle and MG ammunition since they had been producing it for thirty or forty years. The kurz round was new and there was never enough ammunition to go around. German soldiers were known to bury or hide their MP44s and grab a different weapon rather than run around with a weapon that only had a magazine or two. So having an MP44 with no reloads is probably more accurate from a historical perspective.
well fair enough, i can't argue with that. but since we can't ditch weapons like that, something else has to give i think. A MilSim dedicated to fidelity in combat has to make accommodations with practicality and i think the one they've made with 7.92K needs reworking.

Once you've satisfied your Supreme Overlord, be brave! give it a try, and restore the old one if it does break things!
-
mjkerner I don't suppose you'd want to back up the hotkeys.txt you are using then make an change to it would you? I think if you do,you will then break your spacebar menu.
-
I am playing in standard mode. When I push spacebar with no unit selected, nothing happens at all. When I have a unit selected and press spacebar, the command menu comes up (the right-click one).
Weird. My spacebar has never done anything in CMRT. I guess I will try to re-install and see if that helps.
FroBodine nothing is wrong with your setup; the command menu should only come up IF a unit is selected. No need to reinstall.
the issue I am experiencing once you edit the controls through the GUI or directly editing the file.

I agree it would be ridiculous; i happen to think it's equally silly to tell Cpl. Heinz he better be careful because EVERYONE else but him gets more ammo. And bump up that silliness factor a BUNCH when the MP 44 is part of an assault team where we all know ammo literally evaporates.
Don't be a soup Nazi!

It seems like this is an issue with the "hidden" hotkeys that are not normally up for player change. Editing the hotkeys.txt (either through the GUI or direct edit) immediately disables the spacebar orders menu. I checked RTS and FPS modes and the spacebar also increases model quality.
However, I can confirm right click does bring up the orders menu there!

Steve I reviewed that thread but it wasn't applicable to me; installation was fine.
I just now tried to change 1 single thing in the hotkeys.txt (through the GUI) and it immediately broke things. I set acquire to "," clicked OK, and started a saved game up. Space bar now increases model quality. I don't think this is me.
-
ahhhh thank you mjkerner; perhaps there is no issue then with the right click. I know the spacebar is infinitely preferable anyways for me.
-
well that's good to know, thanks for that. I wonder if scenario designers new that, as none of my units with that ammo have supply. thank you
-
Was this a limitation or an oversight? Lots of units are equipped in both MG and RT with 7.92K weapons and yet still none for resupply...
-
About this right click on unit feature, does it need to be turned on somehow? I just did a third wipe of both the game installation and the user files in My Documents and did nothing with the Hotkeys.txt. The orders menu by spacebar works fine, but right clicking on a unit simply deselects it.
-
Now that i think about it, it happens after i edit the controls file through the GUI. I change Split Squad to "F", Reverse to "R", and Acquire to ",". this is how my other 3 CMx2 games have allowed me to do it, and i never had this issue. Anyways, the problem pops up after i had loaded the campaign after a few minutes, NOT immediately.
-
Steve thanks for that but it stopped working mid scenario; i am utterly baffled. As i was just setting up the opener for the Russian campaign deploying forces etc it switched back. Spacebar moves through the model quality instead of bringing up an order menu and when i right click on the unit (thanks for that info!) nothing happens at all. Signed, sleepless in Seattle...
-
i uninstalled and reinstalled; that seemed to fix it.
thanks
-
can anyone at least say if this feature is in the game still? Push space bar and get the orders menu?
-
Installed the game, started playing the first scenario in the game and I noticed that space bar no longer place a hotkey menu when you press it but instead at the top of the screen it notified my of my model quality. Was this feature removed or is their something wrong with the hotkey.txt file?
anyone?
-
thanks very much for the pictures; much appreciated.
-
I had the same issue and brought it up previously:

thanks for the link; I see its a common problem/complaint.

Options are:
1. Use canister to kill exposed crew/passengers. Then use HE or AP to kill the vehicle, if it hasn't escaped or (if armed sufficiently) successfully returned fire.
2. Use HE or AP to kill vehicle and possibly crew, prevent vehicle from escaping, prevent vehicle from returning fire, and force remaining crew/passengers from vehicle where they are helpless and can be easily eliminated with canister or MG fire.
Option #1 is not so smart.
This is exactly what I thought AKD, get the crew/passengers out and then canister them.
Someone asked what version I was running, it is the most recent v1.12
-
Playing the Raging Buffalo campaign, first mission. My M8 insists on using canister shot on HT's despite having a lot of HE and AP to use. As one would imagine, no casualties or discernible damage were caused until he had expended all canister shot.
A bug?
-
Any thoughts of adding CMSF by any chance? or is your intent to only capture WW2 info? Either way, thanks! I use excel to capture all my info, i'll see if I can export/import...
-
Will it also graph the downward trajectory of my social life during my CM career?
I believe the manual recommends you track that privately...
-
Great questions all womble. Full daytime, all graphical effects on, this is a platoon HQ who shows in C2 with his Company CO, though the Company CO is off map. he's not hiding or suppressed. I am fully patched.

I never thought of that, so I just checked the weather. Wind is gentle from the SW and rounds are falling everywhere around the target, some as far off as 150m

ty for that; I assumed that was the case.
