  1. Oh, and I for one understand that CM Casualties are far too great compared to RL Combat situations... Your Arty comment is a perfect example...Troops (even in open) exposed to light/medium arty would just hunker down (and not get KO'ed every time by single mortar/arty Shell 25-50 meters away) and wait for it to cease before moving out again, and just taking a few casualties in process...Think, a better 'Savings Roll' would help out. Small Arms is another...Small Arms casualties needs to be reduced a bit, especially at Close Range Urban Combat. Troops should just pop-up to fire a short Burst or couple Rifle Rounds across the street then drop-down for self-preservation and not continue until firing until magazine or clip is empty. And, or a better 'Savings Roll' (if you will) when hit to represent troops trying to dodge bullets or hugging terrain better within its own posture, etc. Yes, Combatintman, has suggested a New Patch will come out to address some issues regarding casualties, but most other issues your referring to will not, and simply the way the Game Mechanics work...We just have to pretend that 1 minute in CM is like 5 minutes of RL Combat, and so whatever casualties that have been inflicted by games-end is half of what it should be. Yes, this is a Great Game compared to what is out on Market today with lots Time, Passion & Dedication put in, and I will continue to play it until I can't anymore...You will sleep better at night.

  2. Sorry guys, but I was getting CMBS & CMSF2 confused (newer CMSF2 patch just came out, but not sure if the newer CMBS patch is out yet)...Anyways, here's the link for the Patches. https://www.battlefront.com/patches
  3. 4.1...is 4.10 (that's the designation that most programmers use...first digit is 1x number followed by 2x digits)...Yes, it's the newer patch to fix the 4.0 Upgrade.
  4. Interesting...v4.0 all Commanders are only supposed to have their Heads stick out and nothing more (v3.0 Commanders had their Heads & Torso stick out like the above)...I think, BF, just forgot to impose this on a few models, and would need corrected.
  5. Nothing New really...Just some things that players noticed and BF fixed...
  6. Hello again, RockinHarry,

    Ok, I thought there was a Mod that deleted the Small Arms Tracers, but can't seem to find it...However, I noticed in a post that your using your own kind of Mod deleting Alpha/Beta channels of sorts (which I have no clue what they are) . Can you send me over that Mod or give me an idea of how to do it. Thou, if it requires some sort of programming, then it's a no go for me, lol.

    Thanks, Joe

      yeah no problem. Here is the link to it in my dropbox. Unrar into data/z folder as usual. I´ve tested it with CMFB, but I guess these should work in every other CMX2 game. Let me know, if not.

      Note: It´s all tracer versions made invisble (default, green, orange, red, white). If these are country coded (?) you can use all, or delete the ones from the mod you would like to see preserved in the game.

  7. Scale this down to Battalion level, Meeting, and I might be interested as a Germ CO...
  8. Ah, Yes, also wanted Armor not to shoot directly through each other, especially shooting through Dead Vehicles (that aren't burning)...But, as you say, it would be difficult for the AI.
  9. Ok, everyone, and enough of your shenanigans and reminiscing days of old...Steve, politely has decided to fix the CMSF2 Patch # whatchamacallit, and so we are all happy campers now. So...Stay Thirsty My Friends :-)
  10. Shh, and just to name a few...I use to watch 'Creature Feature', 'Space 1999', 'Godzilla vs. whatever', 'Ultraman', 'Johnny Sokko and some flying Robot', 'Thunderbrats', and something called 'Stuff-n-Puff'...Please, and don't make fun of 'Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, and Bob Ross as Mom & Dad made me watch them (something about being edumacational).
  11. Ok, Steve, he is just busting your Chops here.. :-)
  12. Let me know when you download it so I can delete from Dropbox... https://www.dropbox.com/s/kw6w6bbiyzhbvn6/Aris M8 AC.zip?dl=0
  13. Your Welcome !...Now, Just make sure to post your 'Jane's Defense News' here on a periodical basis as a Thank You to BF :-)..I hear it's the Chinese turn for being up to no good :-[
  14. Is it possible that your using another Computer and didn't Activate the 'Vehicle Pack'...
  15. Yeah, my Gaming Miniatures on Bases came to mind on this one...But, as you say, the spacing between individuals is more spread out.
  16. I know BF increased Troop distances a bit in previous Upgrade due to Players demands...However, I still think Squads should stay within say 3x Action Spots max (1x Action-Spot per Team), and not spread out half-dozen Action Spots when moving (not to mention that some troops stay behind until next turn before finally moving again...If at all). For me, at least, It also just seems Troops have a greater risk of becoming a casualty when Spread-out too far (as it takes longer to reach it's destination when under fire).
  17. I don't think this is the case now (for all CM Titles), but when Units start to loose Ammo it will start to slow down its firing... Example; Units will fire normally when Ammo is Full, then when it looses half its Ammo it will start to slow down its ROF a bit, and when it looses three quarters of its Ammo, then it will slow down its ROF even more so (maybe ROF reduced in half)...Anyways, something along those lines.
  18. Now, that just wrong, Erwin...I still have my 'Pong', Atari, and Intellivision Console Games in the closet for Nostalgia reasons :-)
  19. Ok, and that's what I figured (and therefore nothing is wrong) and just thought that CanukeGamer had a problem with it for some reason...So, apparently he is referring to something else then.
  20. Yes, the Dead Vehicle is basically no different then clicking anywhere on map...That Vehicle can see everything that all your Combined Units can already see. Next time your Vehicle is destroyed click on it and you should see all enemy units that have already been spotted...Thou, you still wont see every enemy unit on Map.
  21. Ok, after re-running more Game Turns I see what, Canuck, is saying and Dead Vehicles (and it's Crew) continue to spot all Enemy Units on the Battlefield as if clicking on empty spot on map (you see the sum of all enemy units). So, as IanL, mentioned we are just seeing the total sum of all Units on the Battlefield (Dead Vehicles is no different then clicking empty spot on Map) and it seems to be intentional and I'm fine with it.
  22. Yeah, I get this too in BN (haven't checked other Titles)...When a Vehicle gets KO'ed, but right before the Crew Bail, it can spot everything on Map (thou, once Bailed KO'ed Vehicle can't spot nothing).
  23. Hey, I hope you realize that no other Time Zone counts here except U.S. Eastern Time...Thank you very much :-)
