It's always been like this. I believe it was also like this in CMx1 as well (although it's been a while).

What scenarios will be used?

It sounds like you need to get closer to the tanks. The Panzerfausts have a max range of 30m.

In CMSF, if the unit that was calling the the air strike has a clue about enemy positions (<?>) it would relay that to the the aircraft. In CMBN the relaying will be much less precise, but the aircraft will still have some clue about possible enemy locations and will keep a sharper lookout for them.

No not really, remember though that whoever is calling in the air support is also giving info about potential targets.

Probably because soldier models behave more or less in the same way (two eyes, two legs, etc...). Tanks need to have the same number of vision slits, optics port, machine guns, etc...

What DRM patch are you talking about?

There is a pdf manual so you won't have to wait

Do the FOs have a good field of vision to the target?

Pretty sure, it was in the previous patch though, so something might have changed. Also it was a armoured car but I suspect it's the same AI logic.

Texting and driving is very dangerous.

There will be a patch soon. It will be free . As for the mods, most modders are working on updates to make everything compatible. They only mods that were truly incompatible was Vinnart's animated text mod. And some of the UI mods looked half complete because of the addition of CW forces. Most mods however will function normally.

Troops, no matter what formation they belong, share information with each other if they are close enough (think sharing ammo range).

I have seen soldiers throw grenades from inside buildings to tanks.

I assume that there is only one band present on each warhead? It seems from the schematic that there were more than one band on the warhead.

What do these bands mean ?

Manic-Depressive here, although it doesn't depend on if I'm winning or losing but rather on the amount of action there are in the turn

I believe some of the screenshots in the screenshots post have been altered and taken at higher zoom levels. You can zoom in up to 20x. They might also have been using modifications to the game. I am familiar about the online pvp community. PBEM can take weeks, but it depends on you and your opponent. Remember thought that playing online is only real-time. Any way it isn't all that complicated. If you want opponents you can either post here. I believe there is also a CMBN group on Steam and there are online wargame clubs where you can test your luck .

There will be a patch.

You both need to have the same version. Your opponent can however just copy his CMBN folder before installing the patch (and name it v1.01 or something). That way he can have both versions.

The HQ icons are the same. The other icons are unique to british forces.

I just checked around a bit (wikipedia if you must know ), it seems AR coatings were secret until about 1940s. Still it makes more sense now, thanks for the info

Greater magnification makes more sense than some industrial process that gives better results. I'm a bit sceptic in the sense that it's being portrayed as Abrams tanks optical systems vs Soviet era Iraqi tank optics. Realistically you wouldn't expect a "better performance" of more than say 5% for the same magnification no?

Reading all these accounts you'd think the Germans were 20 years ahead in terms of technology. It reads a lot like hyperbole, but then again I am no expert in what technology was like in the 1940's.

Do WW2 tanks have special systems to keep out dust? My gut feeling says that any fabrication advantage would be probably be negated by dust and grime. Or is the effect of the Argon gas that significant it can overcome this?
