    zmoney got a reaction from ftukfgufyrdy in Has the old Oplot spotting bug been patched?   
    @Sgt Joch I don’t mind that green troops are included in the campaign, in fact I believe it is most likely realistic for the infantry or other basic units. My gripe is only with the Oplot crews being green. The Ukrainians can only field a few of these tanks and so like Haiduk says these would only be given to their best troops.

    I’d like to call again for BFC to patch this campaign now that we have the subject matter expert weighing in. It really ruins an otherwise great campaign. The Oplot should either be crewed by reg or vet crews.

    One thing that may be effecting spotting for the Oplots (and one of my biggest gripes with this campaign) is that for whatever reason the designer decided to make a lot of the crews green. Seriously, it’s supposed to be the best equipment they can field but the just grabbed some dudes off the street to drive them around?!?!?!?!
     
    Beautiful scenario design but horrible decision for experience lvl’s. It plagues the US campaign as well. One of my biggest gripes in an otherwise awesome game; high tech equipment that is operated by some random hillbillies off the street. Very unrealistic and not likely at all.
     
    I am wondering if the oplots have been patched though. If not why not?

    He sent me this when my little border collie died....
    Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten year old Irish wolfhound, named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa and their little boy Shane were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer.
    I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog. Ron and Lisa told me that they thought it would be good for the four year old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
    I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker’s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few moments, Belker slipped away peacefully. The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion.
    We sat together for a while after Belker’s death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, “I know why.” Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I had never heard a more comforting explanation.
    He said, “People are born so that they learn how to live a good life – like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The four year old continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”

    This is the process to use the:
    AMD Bug Report Tool
    Depending on what videocard you have and what other games you may run, the 22.6.1 and 22.5.2 drivers both seem to work fine with all of the CM games to my knowledge.
    Previous Windows 10 64-bit AMD Radeon drivers (ignore that it says it is for the RX 6500XT, they will work with any Radeon RX 4xx and newer)

    Even with hatches open I agree the human eye should pick up the movement. But as Chuck stated try with hatches closed so the commander is using his thermal.

    What they heck is the dang military budget for if not for what is happening right now.  And we are blessed that we can do this w/o US citizens dying.  Worth every cent.  Putin chose to threaten the world in the stupidest way possible and thus we are able to fight back in a very direct way.

    CM:SF2 doesnt seem to work the same as CM:BS... Flashing is there but inconsistant dependant on explosion type... Some flashing on the whole of the screen and some having no flashing at all!
     
    Also have a weird flashing smoke/dust textures and clumpy smoke stacks from burning vehicles... maddening!
     
    CM:BN is a mess with the same settings... So I am at a loss... 🙄

    zmoney reacted to Free Whisky in Visiting history: I made a video comparing a WW2 scenario to the real-life location   
    Hi everyone! I've put out a new video where I compare a combat mission scenario to both the historical events that are portrayed and the actual real-life location. I thought I'd post this on the General Discussion board as it's also kind of about Combat Mission scenario design and research in general.
    As it's about a Market Garden scenario, I've slept a quite few hours less the past few nights in order to get this video done in time for Operation Market Garden's 78th anniversary on saturday the 17th of september. I hope you'll find it interesting; spending the day basicly giving myself a battlefield tour and filming the locations of the scenario that I just played was amazing. Geeky, for sure, but amazing 😁.
    Props to @Pete Wenman who is the author of this scenario for his excellent research and scenario design.

    ” Five Days One Summer" campaign
    This is a six mission campaign (with up to four possible branches involving a total of thirteen missions), involving II./SS-Pz.Rgt. 5 and III “Germania” which were part of Kampfgruppe Mühlenkamp, covering a period of intense combat in eastern Poland to prevent the Soviet spearheads of the 2nd White Russian Front from advancing westwards during the week 16-22 July 1944.p> Really looking forward to this campaign. One of my favorite periods of fighting on the Eastern front, with the Wiking (and Totenkopf) division desperately trying to stop the Russian steam roller. Buy Douglas E. Nash books on the IV. SS Panzerkorps and you will be in for a wonderful autumn full of exploding tanks and fascinating tactics.
    ”Tigers at Ogledow" campaign
    This campaign covers a very well-known engagement where King Tigers from "Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 501 commanded by Major von Legat underwent their combat debut on the Soviet/German front when they encountered elements from the 1st Guards Tank Army during operations to reduce the Soviet Baranov Bridgehead in August 1944. This campaign was a lovely surprise for me. A very interesting part of the Eastern front in August 1944 and a great opportunity to smash the Baranov bridgehead or at least experience why the Germans couldn't pull that off. 
    13 standalone scenarios
    These scenarios range in size from small platoon sized engagements to battalion sized engagements on 12km squared maps. As the use of German SPW is a theme in this battle pack there is a series of three ‘training’ scenarios to help the player become familiar with getting the best out of this type of unit. All the standalone scenarios are geared towards both head to head play and against the AI. Another nice surprise in this Battlepack! As good looking as  they are, SPWs are hard to handle and even harder to keep alive. From small platoon sized engagements to battalion sized engagements on 12km squared maps!
    14 Master Maps
    New maps based on maps from the Battle Pack missions. Maps made by George are the best around. It doesn't get any better than fighting on one of his maps for the ultimate Eastern front feeling.
    For anyone even slightly interested in the Eastern front, this battlepack is a must have. George is one of the few people who keeps on producing high quality and detailed scenarios and campaigns, so pre-order this battlepack, folks, and show him it's highly appreciated!
