It would be nice to see at least a patch that corrected the weapons values and such. I am no developer whatsoever and I may be wrong. But it looks like a rather easy problem to correct in a short amount of time. Here are some very basic problems concerning the weapons in CM. 1.) At times, it may be according to year but I have only noted this a few times. The MG42 and DP27 have very incorrect values. In the 'Sturm' squads especialy. The value for the MG42 is slated 28 at 40m whereas regularly it is 50. This cannot be in attempt to even gameplay. Because if that were true there would be no SMG squad. 2.) Weapons being phased out. Here is a simple example. Weapons such as the PPD are phased out after 1941 in CM. I have never seen a PPD in a squad after 1941. I fully understand that Russian industry ceased producing the PPD40 in favor of the Ppsh41. But that does not mean the PPD was not used after 1941. And the MG34 in squads around 1944 and up is rarely seen. It should be at most uncommon to see the MG34 in 1944 and up. Just lessen the chance of it, correctly, as the war goes on. Ex. The PPD is uncommon in 1942 and rare in 1943. Afterwards it is no longer a factor. 3.) Weapons values. This is the #1 problem and in my opinion, the easiest to correct. With the correct information in mind of course. A good example would be the Mp44 ( StG44 ). The values for the Mp44 are too low. The value is slated 34 at 40m. It has a 7,92x33mm round and 500rpm rate of fire. That alone shows that the Mp44's weapon value at 40m needs to be higher. Effective up to 300m and very accurate up to 100m. The larger calibre round and its high muzzle velocity, 685m/s, its round will travel much farther than any SMG. The Ppsh41's value for 100m is 11 whereas the Mp44's value is 12. Thats only one point. With all this in mind the Mp44's values would have changed a bit. 40m: 41-42 100m: 14/-15 250: 2.5. 4.) Complete misrepresentation of a weapon. As I stated in my first post in this thread. Its very disturbing that the carbine completly replaces the Mosin-Nagant1891 rifle. These are the main problems. I suppose its a pipedream to have a patch for the numerous weapon problems. But one can hope. Tschüß! Erich

You basicaly covered it Stoat. But please, back to topic all. Tschüß! Erich

You just have to love knocking out carriers and halftracks with mortars. And occasionaly the odd armored car. Tschüß! Erich

The scenario I am playing currently I just knocked out three OT34/42s with two StuG III Gs. Tschüß! Erich

Glückliches Neujahr!!! Tschüß! Erich

I have noticed the same thing. It does not seem to register all the casualities a sharpshooter inflicts. You can never go wrong with a PzIV. Good to see you're having so much fun. And of course no matter what CM never ceases to please. Tschüß! Erich

I'm reminded of the time one of my 251s bogged down on a muddy dirt road... Just today I had a StuG III that bogged down for a while in deep snow. Oh how fun bogging can be. Tschüß! Erich

I apologize in advance if someone has already posted anything about this subject. While messing around on scenario editor I came across something I never really noticed. I've always wondered why the weapon value for the Russian Mosin Nagant 1891 did not go into the 500m range. But I never play Russian so I just did'nt pay too much attention to it. I just thought it was some botched weapon value like a few other weapons. But I then noticed the weapon model and realized...its an M44 carbine! :eek: I know there are a few 'screwy' weapon values but there is not one MN91. Its all the M44 carbine. I can only say I'm disturbed by this. I'm such a stickler about these things. The funny weapon values on some weapons I could overlook. But one country's most common battle rifle traded off for a Carbine? Thats a bit of a problem. Please post your thoughts on this subject... Tschüß!

Thanks for your contributions. I am sure you have done great work. I am not sure what it is but I am not too much into the full conversions. I very much like the idea of CMETO but I never wanted to give it a try. :confused: Maybe its just that deep down its still like playing the original game to me. You do great work, don't get me wrong. I have several of your armor mods on my games. Tschüß! Erich

Ja at first. But now that I notice it it could go either way. Tschüß! Erich

My apologies for the misconception. Many soldiers fighting against the Polish, notably the driver of a PzII showed disgust at this falsehood. He stated that the Poles never did such a thing, at least from his experience. Tschüß! Erich

A CM expansion/game for all those early war lovers would be something dreams are made of! Maybe one day there would be such a thing... Tschüß! Erich

Excuse me if you meant only sarcasm. But the Poles never rushed men on horseback towards enemy tanks. The Poles were not stupid either and realized that would be unethical and result in complete failure. If anything of this sort really did happen its never been truly reported and was out of sheer disregard of ones life or a factor of stupidity on someone's part. Tschüß! Erich

I got it just fine as well. Just took a few seconds. Tschüß! Erich

For the most part, took the words right from my mouth! Tschüß! Erich

Funny you mention it. I am searching for a new mod. for the 251/2 right now! But for CMAK. Sadly the mod site seems to be overworked and is not loading at the moment. Tschüß! Erich

Good thing it was closed. Nothing but foolish non-CMBB rabble. Tschüß! Erich

I'm sorry, I must not have been clear enough. I meant the people that have posted in this thread. I put in a reqeust for this thread to be closed before it gets out of hand. Tschüß! Erich

I'm not big on the Italians. But I do have them in a game every now and then. Anyway, very nice work! Tschüß! Erich

Wow! Calm down. One man says something that has the letters 'SS' in it and you flip off the hinges. And I highly doubt anyone that posted here is a neo-nazi or national socialist ideologist. Tschüß! Erich

I hope the next time I am browsing for mods I don't land in Sears! Tschüß! Erich

I have nothing against CMBO and I am thankful it was made so such great games as CMBB and CMAK could be made afterwards. But in my honest opinion CMBB and CMAK look years ahead of CMBO. And thanks to all the fine modders that have moded the game for all of us who enjoy these wonderful games! Especialy CMBB, the shear amount of bmps modded for this game is staggering! Tschüß! Erich

I would go for the andrewtf option if I were you. He does amazing infantry mods. All of my infantry have his mods. Tschüß! Erich

Well the problem sounds to me is you targeted armor with a 5cm mortar. And the A.I. realizing that its 5cm HE shell is no match for any sort of armor it was targetting, did not fire but that once. However, if you were aiming for knocking the tank commander out or at least getting the armor buttoned-up then you probably should have targetted the area around the armor. Thats the only thing I can think of. You must also remember mortars were not designed to destroy any kind of armor. Hope that helps some. Tschüß! Erich

Sounds like Ivan had been drinking some vodka before the flight! The only explanation... Tschüß! Erich
