[Does Russian tanks' rear turret machine gun work?]

Are Russian's some tanks can firing their rear turret machine gun as defensive against anti-tank weapon armed attacking soldier? I noticed it not work as I read manual explain why we can not have multi-turrets T-28 due to program unable to firing few machine guns in differents arcs at once. Is bow machinegun can fire at target as coaxial gun can fire other different target in same arc as I saw it when I playing CMBB. Or will it able fire main gun in off angle(side or rear) as bow gun fire in different arc(foward)? Of course, It may already answered before as I am newbie as don't think I will able find that answer in old archives of forum. Thank you for read and answer my question.

(edited to correct spell on "turret"

Right now I have is CMBB, of course I had heard that CMAK have Crete that should be interest how it will look like but I want create battle for CMBB for both German and Soviet. I will order CMAK anyway. Thank you as me on way to order it via computer as my homeplace still not have CMAK on shelf at my stores.

I think there's a Crete operation on the CD. You might want to play through it to get some ideas.

Oh I see, Sorry for my poor History. I better read it more careful as I read it long time ago. My struggle for answer is How I will make "defensive" look like when paratrooper show up sort of behind them not frontal attack as defense troop expect them with all weapon point toward. Also same example with German paratrooper show up and captured Norway airfield as defense troop still there as try fight back with anti-aircraft guns even maybe small arm firing. Same thing what if German or Soviet paratrooper airdrop over emeny airbase or supply base as what their defensive look like.

It wasn't the Maginot line, it was the Belgian fort Eben Ebel, I think you are thinking of. Gliders landed on top of the fort.

Paras usually land all over creation in no sort of order. They generally are more disorganized than the people they land on top of. They are much better off if they land away from everything and have a chance to form up properly before they have to fight.

Gliders are a bit different, since at least they land by whole planeloads. Though crashes and such can disorganize them too.

I hope if CBAK have that German's gun tractor. I though it may be useful for Fallschirmjäger for airdrop over Crete battle.

That made me wonder why CBMM don't have SdKfz 2 as it should be useful for Fallschirmjäger to tow airdrop anti-tank.

[What kind of action by airdropping paratrooper???]

Hello everyone, I was working on create some battle. I wonder what kind of action if paratrooper drop in and take action against enemy which had unprepare or little warning of paratrooper landing. For example Are action in Probe or Attack or Assult? I noticed many different result like Maginot Line action that France was not prepare for enemy gilders land on top of forts and 'Assult' blast them out as they are hopeless as can't fight back above. (maybe that Scenario Maginot Line as Allied may never able beat Axis). I am thinking of create battle that paratroopers drop in and capture enemy airfields like Norway/Denmark and Crete battle. I still struggle how I should put it as "Probe" or "Attack" or "Assult" and what defensive look like at emeny airfield even supply point behind battle line. Did anyone create Scenario like that with certain equipment what paratroopers carry and paradrop even what gliders can carry stuff. I wonder what rules can be allow to lowing the rarity to paratrooper's equipments and have extra hollow charge ammo for Pak36?

Hello everyone, I am new to site, I did some searching around forums before ask anyone. I wonder if anyone can model new tanks/variants/equipments to add to CM? I did check some website which offer download MOD and noticed all date are much older, so are MOD modelers just finish their work and close cases? Can anyone tell me which website that still fresh update and add more new MODs to download? Thank you.
