    Battle of the titan(s)

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    I'm thinking about the probably common M1A1 Abrams vs T-72 encounter we will have in CMSF.

    I made a quick search and didn't immediately find the answers I was looking for.

    Obviously the T-72s most probable way of winning is by outnumbering the Abrams and then flanking it. But what if the syrian player looses all his T-72s but one?

    Can the front armour of the Abrams be penetrated by the T-72?

    What tactics do I employ to destroy/immobilise the M1A1?

    What ammunition will the T-72 load ? Is there a magical super ammunition like the tungsten in WW2 to deal with the M1A1 ?

    What ammunition is most effective vs the M1A1, and at what range ?

    In this situation neither force has infantry but there is lots of cover and off course the T-72 has an elite crew just to make things interesting ;) .

    Enlighten an amateur armchair general and sorry if the questions been asked before...

    I agree. I thought the eastern front seemed a grey and dull place, but IMHO it has the coolest units available in old CM.

    In Battlefront we trust ;) (fanboy statement) .

    The BIG warmup thread

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    Hmm.....very nice ?

    Hehe...seriously that was pretty cool but do you know what would be even cooler ?!

    I'll tell you !

    A short story about why those guys are taking a cab to battle when there are cool strykers about.

    And don't give me some crap about the editor, we have that stuff in five other threads. Get creative ;) (without the editor that is).

    KwayzDog: I a WW2 guy who has pre-ordered. Are there any CMBB/AK/BO threads with players actually saying they'll sit this game out?

    In the early days when CMSF had just been announced alot of WW2 grogs/players said that they would pass on this one, but like Steve wrote in an answer to one of these threads some of them have had a change of heart and I bet many of them will at least try the demo.

    The BIG warmup thread

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    Ok, I just preordered the cool collections pack and wanted to celebrate by creating a big warmup/hype thread with cool questions to the testers and developers so here goes :

    What has been the most satisfactory/fun moment(s) in your CMSF gaming(testing)/development history ?

    First and foremost I want to give us gamers a taste of what's to come so don't hold back guys ;) .

    Scenario Designs??

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    I want a fun simple campaign with a few branching battles. What do I mean with fun and simple ?

    Well first of all I want fun scenarios over realistic ones. For instance scenarios where there's a small unsuported american infantry force vs a larger syrian mechanised enemy. This is very unlikely in the real world, but it would turn the table a bit and force the americans to employ ambush tactics.

    Another fun but not very realistic thing could be an armour vs armour battle on short range in a rural environment with lots of cover. Hills, trees and some houses maybe.

    What do I mean by simple? Well background story and stuff doesn't have to be super detailed , just interesting and detailed enough to be entertaining and easy to read.

    Ads and competition (SWE)

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    Hi everybody , I just wanted to bring a heads up to some fine PR work done by BFC (Moon?) .

    In the latest swedish PC Gamer they have an ad for CMSF, they also have a competition where you can win a copy of the game.

    Being very ungrogsmanlike and never being one to pass up an opportunity to get riddiculed in these forums I have to admit that one of the questions was a bit challenging.

    "The helmets of the american army are based on the old helmets from :"

    "The wehrmacht"(I'm guessing it's this one...)

    "The swedish helmets"

    "The Navy Seals"(...or this one)

    I'm looking to get an extra copy to get a friend addicted, and this competition is a fine way of not paying for it ;) .

    Thankfull for any help and/or riddiculing.

    Death Animations?

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    Ragdoll is nice, but I'm pretty sure it's out. But like someone said previously the OFP animations are also great. Blood and gore is no necessity in my book.

    I'm going to go with Mord on this one , because he's funny :D .

    Seanachai is also funny but in a more bating maner so...better luck next time Seanachai.

    Spanish preview: awesome game

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    This just turned into a very entertaining thread about carpets smile.gif .

    The reason I asked is that I figured that the red colour in certain rooms mean something. It doesn't make sense that CMSF has red carpets but no other furniture. Maybe it's a room with concrete walls instead of the regular wooden walls and they mark this with a red "carpet".

    Or maybe sometimes a red carpet is just a red carpet :D .
