tiger spalling
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to __Yossarian0815[jby]'s topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Had another closer look after seein poesels screenshots. Really looks like a cupola hit, BUT, the loader was killed, not the commander. I´m pretty sure the loader is on the other side of the turret. Explanations? -
So I´m advancing a buttoned Tiger I towards a known sherman position. The Tiger is pointed exactly towards the Sherman. In the exchange the Shermann fires three shots (hit/ricochet)), the Tiger one (miss) at abot 200m. Two of the three Sherman hits cause spalling and a casualty in the tiger. the crew bails. Is this even remotely likely (the spalling)? We are talking hits against the thick armor of the tiger turret.

Thanks for the shader fix!

The shadows are less ragged with the hotfix on my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870. Very nice, Thx! (The difference is easier to see if you flip back and forth betweeen screenshots) (ASUS G73J Laptop) -
Excellent video on epigenetics
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to dieseltaylor's topic in General Discussion Forum
I think the last third of the video is more of where some people hope that epigenetics research will finally lead than what is actually known. -
Book Recommendations
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to GerryCMBB's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Yeah, weird that with the titles. What I liked is that Porch treats the whole theater and there is little hero worship. And it´s serious history vs. more the more racy Atkinson book (fun though it is). Maybe Porch oversells the importance of the Mediteranean, but as you say YMMV. -

Get the CMSF modules and buy CMBN when it´s upgraded. -

Covered Arc spotting benefit - yes/no ?
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to Baneman's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
IIRC BFC stated that covered arcs do not affect spotting. Having the gun pointed in the right direction helps though once you´ve spotted the enemy. -

Hoping for an Oxford degree
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to dieseltaylor's topic in General Discussion Forum
Ok, I´m a pushheredummy (LOL). I agree and I disagree in equal measure. I´ve been surprised how things I learned at school or university turned out to be useful although I was sure at the time that they wouldn´t be. Most tasks, even technically difficult ones can be learned by anyone within a few weeks. Understanding the big picture OTOH is not something that can be grasped easily without an education. In the end there is no fairness in the education debate or job reality. If you don´t have a degree people will ignore you because you don´t have one. If you have a degree you will find out that market forces apply and where there are many Phds the degree profit margins shrink often making the time and money investment questionable. -

Why I hate action spots
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
What we need is more action spots. Twice as many per area would help alot. maybe in CMx3? -
This has been around since CMSF. You give your forward observer a fire plan, he gets killed by a stray bullet early in game and part of your artillery remains incommunicado for the rest of the game. My suggestion: When the unit that gives artillery dies, the artillery should be accessible within 10(?) minutes by other forward observers or HQ units.

Running out of Memory?
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to Tactical Wargamer's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Yes, and add in a 9800GTX video card or better and you´ll be fine. BTW, out of memory might be caused by an out of date ATI graphics driver.
