Try using the 105mm insteadOriginally posted by Charlie901:If I'm trying to dislodge some enemy infantry in a building with a 155mm Howitzer, mounted on one of my Strykers, how do I get it to fire HE instead of uselessly raking the building with MG Fire!!!

Jeez...it must be a great job spending time trying to help people like you.Originally posted by Dirtweasle:Seriously though, in some threads you seem like you and your folks are seriously engaged and working to find the problem(s), in others it's as if you think your customers are a waste of your time or something.

Ditto - I'm almost sure alt-tab worked in 1.01 for me though. No biggie as windows-D takes me to the desktop anywayOriginally posted by Cpl Steiner:First off, the Alt-Tab thing doesn't work on my PC. It doesn't get me back to the desktop. However, pressing the Windows key does - why is this?

Welcome back to the forum Charles!

It was a jokeOriginally posted by Statisoris:@ Tarquelne Whoa boy, calm down, if you cant participate in a civilized discussion without personally insulting someone, get the heck off the board. I'm sure many would agree, we need less of posts like yours.

Jeez my boys let them loose at every freaking opportunity. Area fire at a building for longer than a minute and off they go!

Why should I help you? I'm a core customer and I quite like the new game - present flaws and all. To undertake your crusade you need followers. It appears even some of those who agree with your sentiment do not agree with your approach.Originally posted by sandy:I'm trying to point out to these guys the error of their ways, using their own words in this thread. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it if we are ever to see a truly improved CM, and you are not helping.
If you are trying to influence the developers I do not understand your approach. Kwazydog for one has stated that he "usually skips over your posts" - because of the way you state your feelings.
So where do you think your mission of showing the developers "the error of their ways" is going to get you with your current methodology? Can you understand that many might like the new game? They may also like the old ones. They may be "core" customers. They may play CMSF WEGO and like it. They may play CMSF Real Time and like it without it being a "Clickfest". Are they wrong just because you don't like it? Are you more important than them?

What is constructive about what you are doing and the way you are doing it?

If you think that was an attack you've had a very easy life.

I agree with your sentiment - but in this thread it seems to me the majority by far were agreeing with you.Originally posted by Cpl Steiner:Having said that, the number of posters who defended this behaviour before it was discovered to be a problem with the map is quite worrying.

In this very scenario (Real Time) I have seen units with a move order crossing a field auto change to quick to find cover (50 m away)at the other side of the field when they come under fire. So there is some "cleverness" going on under certain conditions.Originally posted by molotov_billy:When interrupted, or at the end of a move order, they seem to snap to cover in some situations, but never during the move itself.
There is something odd about the ditches in this battle - I have had a MG unit stuck and unable to get out for the whole battle whatver commands I gave them.

You have no idea what you are talking about.Originally posted by Cid250:The CM2 engine is crap, from the point of view of tactical-AI. The core of the CM2 engine will never improve the quality of the TacAI, since it's developed as a pure real time strategy game in mind.
-
Sucks to be you.Originally posted by Cid250:Not yet... since our TacAI sucks and it surely will suck in the next 365 days of development.

I did not defend the game or complain about your post - I just suggested you try another game for a few months.Originally posted by sandy:Why are you defending this game and complaining about my posts?
-
Why do you keep playing this game - you clearly don't like it. Take a break - play something else for a few months.

George - downloaded latest version - does not seem to want to appear in scenario list - does appear in editor list - but still will not open. Maybe corrupt? Downloaded twice to make sure.
Thanks for all the good work.

I was reading the manual earlier today - and the above is really what is it suggests in the sample examples listed after the commands.Originally posted by The_Capt:For now I would recommend only using Hunt in urban ops when advancing into likely killzones. Use Fast or Quick to move thru areas you know are clear or at least in very short dashes across a street while being covered.

Luddite.Originally posted by Cid250:They are blind... quality war-games aren't interesting for them anymore.
Home of superior war and strategic games... is now a bad sentence in his main web page, until they return to the path of true "superior war-games". CM:SF drawn too much of Battlefront, to the path of almost arcadish realtime click festivals.
