Sounds pretty similar to the way it was handled in IL-2. If a modder provided a high quality 3D model and cockpit 1C would provide the flight model and integrate it in a patch.
-
I couldn't open the "Following the Euphrates" one. Who's the other one testing this one? Any luck there?
-
I'd be willing to do it. How long is the scenario? It's against the AI, right? I'd prefer to play RT if that's ok.
-
Most of the terms are explained at the end of the book itself, e.g. DAG.
The symbols are mostly Soviet, not NATO, which requires some getting used to.

You are absolutely right, I actually think both should really be possible. Moreover one should be able to control vehicle and squad inventory like in CMx1. I was just trying to find ways to work with what we have right now until this is worked out.Originally posted by Paper Tiger:We really should be able to acquire in the scenario editor OR the AI should be adjusted to acquire these weapons if they are set up in their vehicles.
Reading my posts again they don't sound very friendly, so I apologise for that, in case anyone got offended. I agree that my solution only works in some situations.
In addition I'm not very happy with the default QBs, so right now I'm going to download some more. So far I've only used the QBG ones for PBEMs, they were excellent.
P.S.: By the way, is there a reason why TSD2 doesn't have a CMSF section?
-
Yes, there is probably no way to get it to work in QBs right now.
I'm not sure about being able to setup after baking, but I guess you are right there, too.
-
That is not correct, I just tried what I suggested and it worked. Anyone who wants proof can send me a message and I'll email the scenario. Just play as red and don't issue any orders. After about one minute the Javelins will come pouring in.Originally posted by Paper Tiger:I'm afraid there's no way to acquire Javelins when designing a scenario.
-
It's something different in operations though. I was greatly surprised when one of my guns that was abandoned in the previous battle was back in the following one.
I have no idea what determines whether this happens or not.
-
I thought it was possible to aquire Javelins when you "bake" a scenario, but I've never tried it either.

Ok, I liked it for what it is, a short and easy mission, plays out like a movie, not much work to do in the positive and in the negative sense.
Firstly I had to rename the file (used v1.1) because the extension was ".1btt" instead of ".btt".
I got a total victory in 20 minutes despite losing 3 Abrams. In my opinion you should give red additional points for M1 kills.
Without revealing too much I first though that it was a too straighforward mission, but you do have a nice little surprise in there.
As you said yourself the action starts immediately. I prefer the setup zones and reinforcements not to be in enemy LOS. The terrain is a little too flat for my taste. I wonder why the Iraqi commander couldn't find a better place to set up his defense.
I took note of the mines from the briefing, did you design the riverbed/mines the way you did on purpose?
The battle is good for a nice little R&R and to watch some fireworks. You could tweak some minor things to make it more challenging, e.g. award extra points to red for kills, change the terrain a little to allow ambushes, give red some artillery if you want (even though the AI doesn't use it very effectively) and maybe do something about the minefield.
Thanks for the scenario, I enjoyed it. Hope you're having fun designing more.
-
Downloading now. Looking forward to trying it out. First I didn't find it by designer because I didn't look for "the...". But it's easy to find it in the newest upload section.

My new PC runs CMBB perfectly. On the old one large scenarios caused some stuttering. That could sometimes be helped by turning off trees.
-
I'm not sure what variant it was, I'll have to check that when I get a chance. But its my understanding that Javelin should be able to defeat any known armor especially when using top-down attack mode where armor is normally much weaker. </font>Originally posted by Rocky Balboa:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Statisoris:
Was that T72 the high end TURMS-T kind ? These are tough as heck, I had one of these take four to five Javelin hits before being disabled or knocked out. I think its their newer reactive armor or something, but these seem to take a beating pretty well.

I concur, at first I didn't get to grips with the new system but soon I started trying to use the CMSF camara controls in CMBB and CMAK. I totally agree about the orders as well.Originally posted by ParaBellum:Try to use the mouse vor camera control/movement.
I had the same problems initially. Now I left-click/move mouse and ctrl-left-click to move around, right-click/move mouse to pan the camera and use the scroll wheel for adjusting height. Works like a charm. As much as I still don't really like the orders menu I really like the new camera controls.
BTW I never used the camera control buttons in CMx1. Well, at least not since playing Valley of Trouble for the first 10 minutes...

Can't you give both sides air support in a Blue vs Blue battle, then change it to Red vs Red?Originally posted by TheNathan:Sadly the red side doesn't have any airpower at all, completely nerfing a good deal of potential scenarios like the Iran-Iraq war.
Closest I have figured out is assigning airpower to blue side before switching to red vs. red. This gives one side American airpower that they can use (I think) but the other side (true red) is high and dry.
I had to substitute an Apache for a Hind in this Tonali scenario I'm making, but they are really two completely different aircraft and it really doesn't seem right.

record the replay with fraps.

I have been able to record in CMSF with fraps. All default settings.

I tried the scenario and didn't have any problems with it. However I manually assigned targets to my units.
-
There are hotkeys for the tabs: e.g. B for move, G for combat, but I can't remember them all, especially in the heat of battle. It would be useful if the hotkey was written on the tab.

I just noticed there is already a suggestions thread. Some of my points are in there already. Please let this one die.

I'd preorder CMC right now, if I had the chance.
