    But it would be better, it would be released now...then I wouldn't participate on such discussions...

    neither do I...I do just blame BF for it...cheching the forum every 5 minutes to know if the little baby had come is affecting our normal behaviour I guess

    To be honest, it was not held up!

    ...a mere 5 hours...agree that is not holding....is more like embrazing it.

    We are on "ONE VERY TO GO" phase....I'm excited like a child in Christmas (which reminds me that finally winter is coming to CMRT...nino...nananino...nanani)

  3. just for the record...I do disagree with you all if the solution is delaying F&R...this treath is about releasing it now, there are other titles where your theory could be applicable...CMRT LOOOOOOOOONG WAITED MODULE deserves to be relesed at the same standar than the other titles... if I have understood correcty what we have been told many times, that is what a module is about...adding stuff to the latest engine not changing engine.

    Engine upgrade...ok...when BF decide...I will do appreciate it too...

    This is not the same as customers reporting bugs.  That happens every single day here and it is absolutely critically important.  We absolutely need and want it. 

    thank you a lot for the clarification...it had returned my normal state of mind to me (a bit crazy...but not that much as i was till your post)

    frankly...imho...just a subforum for posting those "findings" (ntd), with the set of rules you do prefer, i guess will be of your help for collecting the info so when the time arrives for the update they could not be gaily missed...unless you prefer them to be "ticketed" to the tech support...if not we will finally educate ouselves so when you announce an upgrade or a module we drop them there just in case...with one  "@BFCElvis" or "@battlefront.com"...just for the sake of our tranquility 

    just posting them in the open forum is calling for them to be lost somehow in the middle of the caothic come and go of our talks...cause here are a lot of ammazing things, amazing and quite difficult to follow...and what amazed me most is that if sb is politely complaing then from out of nowhere come sb to ratn the complainer...I call them "no complaining police" and some other names that I better not to mention here in case there are some underage around

    I dare to say all that cause there are some others "findings"(some minor things and some not so minor, but that I learn to live with) that I hope will be addresed with the module.. but even if not that could be fine, but that I will not dare mention till F&R is released or I will be shoothing my own feet...cause you know...your game is great...well...sure it could be perfect...but great is more than ok.

    back to kohlenklau...I ordered that movie on ebay a few weeks ago. It will arrive until this summer sometime. The guy must be walking to bring me the DVD...!

    great movie...epic I must say...you will enjoy it...I did and still do it from time to time...a lot..

    there is also "unknown soldier"(2017) quite welldone and another which name I could not recall and quite hard to find in my storage drive...

  6. Looking for some info on when was ordered as compulsory to report the captured small arms  i did found this...

    Re: capture of loot

    The area of loot capture and exploitation is of the utmost importance for the Kommande Zeit. The weapon situation makes it imperative that we use every opportunity we can to supply the troops with looted weapons.

    I therefore order:

    1) All command authorities, troop units and service units must do their utmost to capture the booty. Every weapon and war device of all kinds that is recovered helps us in the further struggle.
    It is important that every soldier be permeated with this thought. All officers, especially the NSFO, have to take up this idea immediately, and pass it on to the troops
    It is not enough just to collect and report the booty, but the booty must be recorded, used or immediately sent to the troops' repair facilities or the nearest military equipment offices
    2) The divisions form loot collection commands from the vehicle companies edor available soldiers of the supply troops, who can be used for small tasks within the framework of their division if necessary
    It must be ensured that no prey weapons and devices are left in the division section.
    If the division is unable to pick up and deport the booty, the army must ensure that it is deported.
    3) If necessary, the Army Group will also be able to provide the armies with loot capture commands. Requirements are to be met by H.Gr.Weichsel O.Qu. to judge.
    4) To give the soldiers an incentive to capture the booty, I set the following prices for cigarettes.

     

    Depending on the stock situation, 3 cigars can be issued for 10 cigarettes or 1 bottle of spirits for 30 cigarettes.

    The sutler's goods are not to be issued for reported booty, but for booty actually delivered.

    The armies and immediately subordinate units report 10 days, for the first time on February 25, 1945, to H.Gr. the captured prey, separated by
    a) booty posted with the troops and
    b) pushed prey

    Drawn in the draft:


    Issued by "Der Oberfehlshaber der H.Gr.Weichsel" his highness H.Himmler himself on the 8th of March 1945 ... pitty I didnt find the table with the "Prices an cigarettes" on an editable form ...

    ...so we need cigarrettes ...

  7. @akd...SUPERB!!!...I was always looking for the 7.63mm mausser supplies cause it was compatible...that german efficiency was atounishing (pitty of its evil use)...how that paper was called?...out of curiosity, and maybe I'm asking too much...did you found any 85mm (for example 25 Pz Div was reported with some 2 platoons of t34/85 on early March 45)?..and any beute tank listed on an I.D.?

  8. @akdwell, we are seeing same kind  of documents...what I'm talking about it is about the purpouse of the paper you are showing, which is to obtain the required ammo in "units of issue" of the division and in contrast to the situation of "Ordance do not have this kind of ammo...so the division/gruppe should handle it by itself..." (similar to the VS with they scarce and rare italian rifle ammo supplies but with the avantage that your enemy got lots of the ammunition you need)...so, if you will not be alloted any "units of issue" , you do not report it on the weapons return...it is worthless to do it.

    Tanks, my loved beutepanzers, are a diferent thing cause even if Ordance did not have the ammo (85mm) or Maintenance the spare parts (so they had to canibalize other captured T34) it might have the combustible (Diesel?), allowing them to move on...but anyhow they were somehow short-lived, apearing one moth and disapearing almost the lot the following, and so and so...

    I was not able to found any supply of 7,63mm Mauser pistol ammo to any standar division in any year (but I did found Germany supplying Finland of such ammo)... so, my best guess is that any MP listed on a standar division should be a 9mm (except the mp43/44 if not listed as Stg, but they indicated the 7.92k cal. so let me skip it...), so sumarizing i do belive that if listed as MP should be a 9mm.... and any non 9mm MP were therefore not listed...or listed indicating caliber or another german designation to that effect

    I just don't know why captured Soviet SMGs always seems to come up - is there some sort of reason why it seems like they get asked for all the time?  I'm just not getting it.  Honest question here, not trying to bust anyone's chops or anything like that.  Just curious.

    Maybe cause it was a widespread and common practice for the heer on the ostfront, not only cause mps were always in short supply ...or because the common landser prefer a 71 shots mp to their one shot kar...or because ppsh manuals were officially translated to german...or even ppsh was adopted by the heer (mostly during 42/43)...or because it was said the mp43/44-stg44 were needed to counter the ppsh ( ala t34 vs panther)... or because was an almost compulsory thing in recon groups (both sides...so ppsh on Aufklarung gruppes and mp40s on russian scout teams...on the westernfront it was also common on the german side at least, wonder why they did look as if they prefered the m1carbine to the tommy/grease gun), not a thing that CM is simulating but i'm sure you will see the wisdom of it...anyway... If you are genuinally curious I would recommend you to investigate it a little...you will be surpised...if not...well just think is because of OG Steiner in "The cross of iron" (the best western on the eastfront ever done, just because of it we should have the ppsh on the german side) and live happy... 

     

    @akd,AKD, IMHO you are assuming wrongly, in divisional returns you list the materiel you were supplied and report its return again on a given time in order to ask for more materiel, or for the ordance personnel supplying you the needed ammo ...it had not other purpouse that I know...In the end of the war ppsh ended as it had started, as a trophy weapon, and those  are not usually listed and do not "requiere" being supplied by ordance personnel...and of course they do not need maintenance as a tank (wonder who supplied 85mm to some)...I mean, you collected the needed ammo from were you collected the gun and if you are lucky your enemy will spare with you some more ammo on the next encounter... and more important if tomorrow you loose it or just drop it, no one will enquire or blame you...

     

    I  have seen some russian mps being listed on 20 PzGrD but I guess those should be rechambered ppsh-41 (mp41(r)?), so surely quite small quantities in 1945...and also I've got ammazed seeing Finnish mps on the Führer Begleit and Führer Grenadier Divisions but doubt they were 7.62mm and my best guess is they were the Kp m/44...

     

    anyway, I will not ask BF to provide us with a ppsh on german hands, not anymore, that time had passed, I was not agree with his decision back when RT was launched and his argumentation was quite strange IIRC, but he is the customer and you know he is always rigth, uppppsss, sorry,I will rephrase it properly... he is supplying me with one thing nobody else will, so I do have to like it or lump it..., what I'm thinking on ask him is to just give us the mp38 and on a 20-30% rate quantity compared to the mp40 ...the rest I will do it myself...😉 (by the way, did anybody know from where it comes the mp40 and mp-40 on the gun moddels? )

     

    @ASL Veteran...i guess mp35 where almost gone by 1943....toooooo many casualties of NCOs and Officers in the early days of WSS...trying to apply daring doctrines had side consecuences I guess...curious nontheless, cause I had on my mind that if anybody were using ppsh more than anyother on the german side it was the SS...nothing that I remenber reading to confirm or denny it but I got the "feeling"... anyway... if the option for the mp38 do not prosper then I will support your idea... or the mp41 Schmeisser (supplied on 1944 to SS and German allies)...but please on a 20-30% quantity rate...even if in those cases could be quite much...
