    Interested in this, a few questions if I may...

    in Strategic Command - GLOBAL CONFLICT

    Posted

    Many thanks all the for informative replies. I did get the Gold Bundle. I have not had to much time on my hands to delve into it much, but I am looking at doing that soon.

    So far from what I have seen it is just up my ally.

    Again many thanks for the replies.

    I might have a few more questions once I started getting into the thick of things...

    Oh, silly question, but does the late war heavy tanks for Germany for example have a Tiger icon or is it a generic tank icon, I guess what I am wondering does the icons change with accurate unit representations as you research and deploy different units.

    Thanks again all,

    Cannot see where I was hit in tank?...

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    Many thanks for the feedback and response. I am glad to hear that there are damage decals on the way. I do hope this is going to be realized and not overlooked going forward as it is a major detractor from an otherwise excellent game.

    My Tiger was on a fairly face on angle (top armor almost impossible)to the culprit Sherman, perhaps being roughly 10 - 20 dregrees on my front left, 11 oclock or so. It was one hit and the tank burst into flames and the crew bailed....That is a bit shocking...I am not saying the Tiger should be and was invincable, however I was quite surprised, hence I wanted to analyse the hit data after tha game which I couldn't do. I had the hit text on but that came and went and I couldn't pinpoint it.

    I am hoping for improvements around this...and I am hoping that the Tiger is not underarmoured because from what I have read thus far and my own experience it certianly looks and feels like it, but that is another topic I guess.

    Hello

    I am interested in SC but I am wondering how complicated it is in terms of gameplay and expecially the micro-management involved. Is this similar to the Heart of Iron series in that respect?

    Aslo, I presume from the screenshots I have seen you can choose between 3d type and strategic counters for units?

    Is there a research tree, for example can I have variants of the aircraft, tanks etc? Also does it go into the future weapons that didn't see combat in 1945 but might have been available in later years.

    Then is the Gold bundle the difinitive version to get?

    Thanks in advance,

    G

    Hi

    I did a quick skirmish yesterday and after the battle I was trying to see where I was hit, in a tank that is. I could see no penetration graphic.

    Is there supposed to be a mark or something when hit on a tank? Also is there a way to toggle a hit line graphic similar to Theatre of War?

    The reason I am curious is that my Tiger was hit and caught flames being hit by Sherman more than a kilometer away. I was curious to see where it hit me.

    Thanks,

    Reinstalling TOW, what is recommended

    in Theatre of War

    Posted

    Hello

    I am reinstalling TOW after some hiatus from the Theatre of War series. I have the TOW retail copy and the super patch cd, I think that is what it is called.

    What is the latest recommendation with what to run to get the most out of it?

    TOW, Super Patch and JSH 1.3.5?

    I also read something about a balance mod? Is that included in JSH or seperate and where can I get hold of it?

    Anything else I am missing or as a must have?

    Many thanks,

    G

    Skins and Battle Generator

    in Theatre of War

    Posted

    Hello

    Apologies if this has been asked before.... bit can you assign different skinds to tanks etc in the Mission Generator... I cannot seem to find a option for this. When you look in the encyclopedia you can view different skins though.

    Was just wondering if the Mission Generator chooses automatically. Would be nice to have some winter skins on a winter map.

    Thanks,

    German Armour, What happened?

    in Theatre of War

    Posted

    Hi

    I just re-installed the game with the release of the uber patch. I have to say, great job with all the additions and tweaks.

    I really like the game, BUT, I am a bit concerned with German Armour.

    I played a single mission yesterday where I lost almost all of my German armour to finally be reinforced with some heavy hitters, like the King Tiger, JagdTiger, JagdPanther, Panther and King Tiger.

    Now, I do like the uncertainty of battles and the ballistics model in the game, but what I witnessed was most alarming...

    There was a T34-85 storming at us, stopped about 500-700m away, and it was peppered with fire from a King Tiger, Jagdtiger, JagdPather and a Panther that was the closest of them all. It destroyed three tanks, the JagdPAnther, Panther and a Tiger 1. When after about half a dozen hits, it finally died.

    This surely cannot be? Anyway, are we looking at some tweaks coming out for the German armor or can I download a modified AP values mod so that I can put myself at ease and not be a nervous wreck when I have Germany's finest out against a single T34?

    Or was it a very bad day oin the battlefield and we fired paint balls instead?

    Thanks for listening.

    Regards,

    G
