    Odd. I have found your ticket. It looks like it came in at 11:21am EDT on April 18th and I replied at 12:16pm EDT.

     

    I'll PM you my response and we'll see how we do using messaging through this forum.

    Interview of a Waffen SS Soldier

    Why did you post this ghastly revisionist drivel.

    Relax pal.If you noticed I titled the post  as "Interview of a Waffen SS Soldier" and not the full title, which I presumed would make it clear that I was not in agreement with sentiment of the original. I watched it because its rare to see a long interview being given by a  waffen ss vet. I think it is interesting because he digs himself into a hole and in the end rather than defend the reputation of the ss his testimony helps condemn the organisation.

    Cheers.

    Are we there yet.....No.

    Put this in the general discussion forum, might as well repost here.

    Never mind speculating about a new engine, been waiting what is it five years now? and we don't even have snow in CMRT....Offt seriously getting hacked off. And what will the CMRT module give us...ss, Luftwaffe, just a different uniform. Some obscure late war German vehicles, (lot's of scope there} and a couple of tanks for the Soviets . Also considering that urban combat is the weakest part of the engine, and that's being generous. I think a massive map of Berlin falls into the "why" box . Oh and at last but not least...snow on the eastern front, yup great idea but in the words of Neil Young's Ohio  "should have been done long ago" .  Sorry but if that's what is offered after what a 5/6 year wait, then the timeframe needs to be redrawn. Now over to the fanboys...you know who you are.. well we do.

    Cheers.

    Are AT guns too fragile?

    On the question of moving and deploying AT assets in the attack.

    The following document, published by the Oberkommando des Heeres (German army high command) 1 March 1942, details the experiences gained on the Eastern Front. Anti tank combat 

    42.) Employment

    The appearance of enemy tanks must be reported by all parts of the spotting- and guard sections by the fastest possible means to warn the troops.

    Due to their immobility, the 5 cm Pak must be placed into position, in accordance with the anti-tank plan, at an early stage. Because of their greater mobility, the 3,7 cm Pakcan be kept ready behind cover, or concealed near already prepared positions.

    Positions must be set up around bushes, hedges, etc., maintaining good traversability, but above all good camouflage. Foxholes must be laid out, without creating earth mounds, for the gunners and ammunition. Laying out mines around the position prevents tanks from overrunning the position.

    Editor Trick/hack.

    Hey. discoverd this ages ago but couldn't get the photos up on old site. Right what you do is make a map say elevation starts at 20 goes to 35, save it the load up again and extend the length, the editor now treats this as a separate map so you can place water as normal. The only thing I noticed was you can't have water on the lower map as this will give the expected canyon results. Hope this is clear Ben...There maybe more to it , this is what I know of it so far. 

    Cheers
