    I like most everything about CM...However, I have a problem with the fact that you can't Target a 1 Story Structure with your Inf/Vehicle because a small Hedge/Wall in in the way (thou, can target a multi-level structure)...Maybe one day this will be changed to some degree.

    I've had this same Teleportation issue when playing CMFI...I had an M5 Stuart near a Vineyard on sloping terrain, and it teleported about 25 meters away in a split-second...Interesting for sure (not the first time it happened).

    Oh, Very Nice Indeed, @RockinHarry...
    Now, if we can somehow take the HT Passenger area and apply it to Fox Holes/Trenches so Troops are at least Chest Height (for that deeper trench look w/function)...Heaven I say 🙂
    Anyways, anything to help elevate some of the HT Gunner/Passengers casualties...And, at the very least it looks better.

    @RockinHarry...Yes, and I still use your 'Realism Mod'. However, I stopped using the 'MG Stance' (think it's called) and maybe one other because crew in SP Vehicles tend to go prone (instead of sitting).
    I also use the 'No Tracer' mod (part of the 'Realism Mod')...Now, if BF just made Small Arms Tracer fire for MG's only, then that would be nice.

    JoMac got a reaction from Panserjeger in More accurate Red Army Infantry Organization for Scenario Designers   
    The latest Patch and or 'Fire & Rubble' should reflect this...It use to be that Red Thunder had Squads with 9+ men mixed with Rifles, a lot of Semi-Auto, & SMGs, then it was reduced to somewhere around 6-7 men with a few Rifles, 1x Semi-Auto, 1-2x SMGs (anyways, something along those lines).

    And, in the U.S. we use to have the Tank Museum at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, in MD (went there back in 72' and 90'), but in recent years many of its components moved to Danville, VA and other museums.

    Yeah, tell em ChuckyCheese ...After all @LongLeftFlank, should know what AFV stands for as he has only been playing CM, John Tiller's (EastFront, Westfront), as well as other Military Board Games longer them some of these Forumites were even born.

    JoMac got a reaction from G. Smiley in Saving in progress PBEM file?   
    Yes, you can open the file, move several units around, save it, and come back to it later (I've done this in the past a few times)....Just need to rename the PBEM Game File each time you do it (thou, I think the computer will automagically do it for you). Just make sure to delete the older and keep the later version each time so you wont get confused.
    This is easy to reproduce by starting a PBEM Hotseat against yourself to see how it works.

    JoMac got a reaction from Lucky_Strike in Lucky Strike's Mods: Hedgerow Hell - something for aspiring arborists ...   
    As a side note, and what I don’t find realistic, is having a unit with satchel charges moving up to a hedgerow and destroying a section all in same turn...In RL Engineers would have to move up and prepare the detonation charges (making holes for charges, etc) taking several minutes to do so. This is why I think this along with digging foxholes, getting ammo at ammo dumps, etc, ere better suited for Campaigns, Operations and not for your typical CM Scenario.

    I still remember when CMBN first came out, and players complained that Tiny QB's had only a Platoon or two of Infantry and a Vehicle...Then, BF increased it across the board and Tiny Battles had a Reinforced Company more worth of Troops and couple Vehicles. 
    I still prefered the Former :-/

    Ahh, another RO Player...I haven't played in a few years, but I remember some of the Older Players (I was old back then). 
    Sometimes, I would also play against the RO AI, but apparently you can't do that anymore, since things have changed since after 5.0 major update. Now, they are up to 8.0 or 10.0 or somefink like that in past couple years.

    Thou, I understand what @MikeyD is trying to say in regards to Higher Casualty Rates in CM due to Tip of the Spear Formations being in direct Front Line Combat..However, it's @LongLeftFlank and his explanation that is by far the better RL explanation.

    Unfortunately, that is also my concern...Once your Unit spots a enemy Unit (through visual or C2, etc), it will then have a a big spotting advantage against that enemy unit for rest of game no matter when and where on the map.
    "I already spotted you earlier in game, and no matter where you Move & Hide I will find you just as fast"..."Oh, and it doesn't matter if I get distracted by a number of other enemy units, and for how long..."I Will Always Know What You Did Last Summer".
