I think you can offer him a cease fire soon, The third Sherman appears to be likely toast also. I would think he would realize he will not dislodge you if he has no real assets to do it soon. What else does he have to take on your panzers. This is were Bil would tell us all, exactly what was left because he has calculated all the purchase points and has kept every sound marker and spotted troop documented. The scouts were a brave lot, cold blooded killers. Did not scare them at all. Just another day at the office for the one standing up. Bullets flying all around him, but he calmly reloads his weapon

Well, it appears a zook round or two came flying in at your tanks that turn. Plus while that smoke is blocking the view still, I would send a few HE rounds towards them AT gun locations unless you are sure they are dead or something. Brief area fire is what I like, that way my tankers don't get caught up in focusing on that to long if something moves into view during the turn. Just a round or two to hurt any soft targets I want to make sure stay out of the battle for another turn or two at least.

I told you that in another thread. You would not like what you would hear. (But you keep wanting to live in fantasy land as to where these guys are going.) Thanks Steve for posting the update and letting us know what the present plans are for the near future. I look forward to the added content and additional items to come my way - I for one know you guys are working hard. Thanks

That turn can be part of the way to your victory. Take out the At gun with area fire and keep your distance and front armor to them Shermans and I sense things will keep going your way. I hate to say it, but Bill is not playing one of His finest games I have ever seen. I see what Bill was trying to do but I think things are falling apart on him and I see no second chances if what he presently doing fails. His units will be hung out to dry if you win the Armor battle

Well, you are correct, thus the reason I am in the habit of 30 seconds. It seems to take about 15 seconds to fire the first shot or two, but after that they are dropping as fast as possible. So for many situations. They tend to land just about the right amount to take and get one dead on target. Only in challenging locations will I up the time if I have the ammo to spare. I mean, I will try this target light when the time comes, of course it has to be working it appears before it is worth the effort.

Well this is what I call harassing fire and yes it makes sense here. But it still is a rare event. Thus the reason I have not seen a issue. Of course light rifle area fire into this type of situation also works, So maybe still not a big issue. I am just pointing out that I thought light fire with mortars meant it is not going to use the mortar.(So I see I am wrong) Saving rounds, I have been using fire briefly. I can hardly remember using a full minute of mortar fire in game except on enemy in a trench line for a long time

Understand, but I get the same results in 30 seconds. And if I have not killed them it seems to be more prone to make them panic. So I will stay with Briefly target and set for 30 seconds

well, that is a great concept, but the key word is money. And there is plenty of post from Steve that shows there is none of that to throw around and risk. The sad thing is, they have hired more people and are spending more money than they once did. But we see, it is a drop in the bucket. You keep wanting to compare these guys to what you see from many main line companies. There just is no comparison. And it is a good thing, because they really do this for their own love of this hobby. As many try to keep pointing out to you, if they wanted to just make money. They would have dropped this line of games and went into games that are profitable. But customers with bad attitudes toward them, might someday just help to push them that way anyway. Why would a sane person put up with war-games demands Personally, that itself is what puts these guys on my fanboy list

It would be nice, but I can understand why that does not happen. Pretty much all the scenarios in the game are donated, even in the original release. So what, you expect them to demand those people that submit the work to them free, update these old scenarios. (not happening) Do you really understand how small these guys are. But they have given us the user all the tools to fix them ourselves. So if you want the old ones to work, you can fix them. Tell me another game where you can create new scenarios, like you can here. The ability to create or fix any scenario is in your hands. Again your demand that it is BF's job to do this, it is just unrealistic for who you are dealing with.

Sure funny, when I look at that poll, I read it as 63% percent seem content to see the present engine for the near future anyway. You know, it is not like we all would not like to see massive improvements also. Everyone here would. I just think it is a situation as to knowing that in the hands of BF, A new engine would likely have all the similar issues we saw when shock force came out, do you really want that again. A new engine with all new bugs to fix. Would it be revolutionary in concept. NO ( it is the same programmers doing it with the same skill sets they have. ) Sorry, I just don't see BF having the staff of people to break into a whole new better way to create a game like they are doing. So it would be about the same amount of change as we saw from CMX1 to CMX2. So until I find I am not willing to buy their present games or find another company that does a better job. I can live with the fact that I will accept their product using the present engine that they have created. Call me a realist or something , OK

No, because that has been you topic for all your post lately, might as well stay here on your own thread. High jacking your own thread. Oh, wait , I do that also, so cannot comment

Well, thus the reason I have never noticed it, because the command never made sense to use anyway. The only place that would make sense is if I wanted it as harassing fire, which I don't think I would ever do with a small 60. Maybe a 81, but anyway. A command that is almost non existent in my playbook

Ok, how is this back on topic. The topic is a voting poll which seems to prove you are not in the majority on this forum anyway.

I am confused, in my mind target light means just that, they should not use the mortar. If I want a target light w/ mortars. I use target area fire and use the target briefly, normally no less than 30 seconds. They don't have to see the target, I don't waste too much ammo and I get the max. amount of rounds I can in a short time frame. But call it a bug if you like

If I was them, I don't think I would want to comment to this line of questions either. For sure I would not if I knew you would not like what you were going to hear. The last thing Steve likes to do is deal with this type of behavior. Anyway, I am sure they know what their future plans are for at least a few years, but they have a history of keeping that to themselves. Normally only leaking small hints that at times I think they do not even mean to do. So you might be waiting awhile for any comments.

All you have to do is go under his profile and look at what he has voted on, it list all his own comments. Anyway, he has stopped that now, so note, no more plus +1 on almost everything he post.

Can we get BF to fix one item on this forum system. The basic fixture that no one should be allowed to vote on their own post. Wiggum you have managed to take it to a level I have never seen before. You are so caught up in yourself you like to give yourself a vote on almost every comment. What's the matter, didn't like the score you was receiving from the forum (why should you care - just a bunch of Fanboys anyway)

So what will the name of the next thread be when this one is locked. I sense it is getting close.

The more I read about the issues and why they want a new game engine. It appears it is all about the graphics more than the game features. It just drives them crazy to not see their frame rates at 60 and the game not appearing as it does for them in some other games. Yes, there is rants about game features, but between this thread and the others they have high jacked. Most of the desire and attitude they show is when it comes to the graphics and how the game functions. No one should really be defending CM when it comes down to these items, they are outdated and do not use the computer power as it possible could. But some of that is intentional and some of it is from the inability to create a new engine with each new development in home computers. This is a small time company and they cannot afford or meet them demands. Even if they started today on a new engine, by the time the publish it will again be outdated, plus they have always believed in making their product so it would run on older machines so that everyone that played did not need the latest new rig. So face it, you young Bucks that are Graphic Porn sluts will never get your fix from BF when it comes to giving you fantastic graphics. So for you, just keep hoping for a big money company to provide that to you, but Guess what, they do but with no game substance. They draw pretty pictures and take your money and you wonder why you get so bored so quickly. Because you always need new porn to fill your lust. No game Porn Here, Just a great game -

Great replies. Keep them coming This is where all my CMX1 game play ended. After getting the hang of the new system and playing a few games. It was all these little side stories I was seeing during game play that was bringing the game to life. The infantry battle was now interesting to me. Just not a numbers game as it had been and something to sacrifice. They were becoming life like. One to one was really working. Plus like I have said before. More realistic than what I would see in a first person shooter. I am playing just a couple of battles presently. but in general, I always find some interesting events in every battle.

THATS FUNNY - Man my spelling sucks

This thread is to honor another thread that was just locked. So what I am looking for here is posted events during game play that just makes you go Ahhh, what a moment. Now a few epic Movie moments from one of my recent games Losing a PZ35 to a mine after 3 other tanks had past the location, then having one Char B-2 left that needed to pass and deciding to try and pass the same location and also getting nailed by a mine. (ouch that hurts) Beginning the assault on the Rail Station and just managed to get a foothold into town with infantry in 3 buildings and I start moving the tanks into support and I watch a single American trooper run out in the street behind a Pz35 with Germans all around him, he hits the deck, lead flying at him from all directions. He throws a Demo Charge, it hits the back deck killing the tank. He watches his success , then a deadly round finally finds the mark , it was the last thing he saw. With only two tanks now to help clear the town, one being a Char B-2 Flame, he becomes my only real tool to dislodge and Kill American troopers. And a excellent job he does. But this is street fighting, and getting tanks in place to see and fire is risky. Sure enough, the moment happens. Facing down one of the small streets, a American bazooka man pops out of no where aiming right at the Char. (intermission happens- get the next wego turn programmed- movie starts. deadly shot, rounds on target, no chance to respond. Hits my tank and does Nothing. (you heard it baby, NOTHING) OK, that was cool. them Char Tanks do have some thick steel, just like I read about. Early War tank surviving late war munitions hit. Just Awesome A American paratrooper with a bazooka holding up my assault all by himself, located where my armor could not help and he manages to kill 5 of my troops within other Buildings he targets. This was all in just one game, all 4 of these events would make for a great portion of a movie. This game provides sub stories within a battle that no other game can in a way that seems more realistic than any other game. So go ahead, post your Movie moments

THANKS

Now I sure would like to use a Sherman Crap in some Scenario, Does anyone know of a scenario that has been made with that item???

Wiggum15 : Is this the new definition for jerk, or do I look under Stupid in the Dictionary. Never mind I think I found it in both. Actually, I think the whole thread is funny, because he has some valid points but he cannot come to grips with the fact that he is asking something that just is not possible with whom he is wishing it from. BF is not doing or appears it will be doing to produce games in the way or method you are hoping for. (Can you get that through your thick skull - Wiggum) Now, my real interest is, if you hate the outdated, not to your liking aspects of the game so much - Why do you keep buying them. (Stop with that lie and trying to think we believe you- the answer is, you would not buy them if they did not fill some of your needs). So in other words you are ranting like a 3 year old and we are ranting back at you like your 4 year old sister. (That sums up this thread so far) But when you do ever find that game you are wishing for and think you can Rant about to make happen, which appears you will need to find somewhere else. Please or please let me know, because I would love to have it also. ( I just know better than to think I will see that type of improvements in a timeframe that matters from this group of guys). Really I just appreciate what we have, even with all the imperfections. Which Wiggum has so willing wanted to point out for us once again. Thanks for the reminder
