    No T-34s do not die as easily as halftracks in an urban environment. They button. They have canister.

    When it gets hit by a surprise mine thrown from less than 30 meters away, the T-34 burns just as nicely as any HT. But for the price of a single german tank you get two HTs. </font>

    So, who's as Cheery as an angryolized TNT Waffle?

    So,seriously,is the Waffle dying?The last new person to want to be a part of it was Ruddy(should we even still bold the AWOL Maggots name?)and he hasn't been back.I guess Abbott beat up on him too severely,or maybe made too many passes at him....I don't know.

    Axe,is gone.Snaker,is also gone.DaveH was never even really here.Abbott moonlights in both threads.Soddy stops by every now and then,but I suspect that is only when he forgets to take his meds.Etc.If the reason is that that no one plays CM anymore,then why are there still so many people(including the low numbered ones)in the pong thread?Was MG really all that attractive(It has been a long time,and I really don't remember all that much)?Am I just imagining things?I thought if I became not only the most hated person around here,but also the best CM playing bastige anyone has ever seen(which clearly I am),we could attract more "customers".But,alas.Maybe we need to come up with some smacktarded medievil crap where we call each other Knights,and all that nonsense?

    Eh,I think I'll just start trying to get myself banned,or somefink.

    :mad:

    I disagree.

    The Russian stuff works just fine,if you know how/when/where to use it.
    This counters the posters main idea,and states that it will work just fine when used in the way it was intended.

    Based on his statements,this is possibly the first time that he has played as the Russians.I find it ridiculous that based on that he reached the conclusion that "the Russian stuff sucks".I thought that such an inexperienced player wouldn't need much more than that to persuade him that he was incorrect in his assumption.Obviously I was wrong.

    Oh, and as for your other rant about QBs vs. Scenarios and everyone buying his own forces:

    Again, it is not up to you to decide how others should play the game. No one died and left you in charge of guarding this forum against the evil bad people who don't play CMBB the way you play it.

    It is unbelivale arrogant that you think you have any right to insult other posters who happen to have an opinion contrary to yours. And, like I said, it is against the forum agreement, so if you can't behave yourself in a civilized manner, find another forum.

    Kthnxbye.

    Oh boo hoo.I am insulting because I didn't hold your hand and explain to you how you were WRONG?You were the one complaining that the Russian stuff sucks,as if it wasn't modeled correctly,or something.If you had taken the time to do a search you would have found many other threads that had people complaining just like you.

    Besides,if you didn't want to have an open discusson then you shouldn't have posted this in the first place.

    Stop trying to "win the argument" with some technicality bull crap instead of simply admiting that you were wrong.Heck,you don't even have to admit it.Just listen to the advise that you get,and apparently wanted.

    Stoat,

    First off,it was supposed to be derogatory.Do you know how many inexperienced players I have seen post this same,whinning crap on these forums because something didn't go the way they had hoped in a PBEM?If I had a dollar for each time I could probably go 1/2 a year without working.

    Second,if you had taken the time to read and comprehend what RSC wrote,you would have seen that ,yes,he does/did in fact almost exclusively play QB's.And,I don't see anywhere that the scenario in question was a scenario.Also,when someone plays QB's(and I am primarily refering to the ones where each opponent gets to buy their own stuff)this is the result that you get.They get complacent from playing with the same forces,in the same settings,ad nauseam.A scenario will often require you to learn to use obscure equipment that you are not accustomed to,and probably don't want to be.

    Finally,the thing that I stated that was so obvious is that you are dealing with two different nationalities and their equipment.How the heck can you compare a M3 scout car to a German HT?If you had said a M5 and a German HT then you may have had some credibility.Also,a MG42 can dish out better firepower that any of the Russian LMGs or even a maxim.

    This can not be!!!You mean that you have to use different tactics for each side?No way!

    So, your post was unnecessary. The simple fact is that I would have expected, using the same kind of equipment, that I would be able to use the same kind of tactics. There is absolutly no visible clue that explains why the russians can not do this. </font>

    LMGs, snipers and scouting

    in Combat Mission - Tips and Tricks

    Posted

    Only problem I have with using LMGs and ATRs as scouts is that that was not their intended use.I have no problem with sharpshooters or tank hunter teams as scouts.However,both the LMG and ATR crews are limited to move,run,or move to contact(except for the Italian ATR team...I think,which can use advance).Therefore,they are very easy to rout and kill,even from distance.

    Also, for a battalion sized game, how long does it take one to complete the set up phase? The normal turns of average?
    It depends on the situation.How difficult is the setup?If you have tons of trenches and plenty of possible reverse slope positions it should be pretty easy.Just remember that the defender should always take longer on the setup as you really don't get a chance to change much unless the map/situation allows it.

    Also,are you playing versus the AI or a person?If it's a person,take around a day or so,but not much more.As to "normal turns of average" I am not sure what you mean.If it's number of PBEM turns per day,try and always send atleast one turn per day,maybe more if you have free time.As you get more experienced you will be alot faster and probably get 2-4 turns out per day.Again,depends on your situation.

    When attacking,I really only place emphasis on overwatch units,making sure that all lines of sight are worked out,so that when something is spotted it is dispatched as quickly as possible.Of course I also find the avenues of advance and setup so as to use them.

    When defending I spend a lot more time on the setup since you won't get much of a chance to reposition after the battle starts.
