  1. And they seem to have infinitely better infantry transporting capabilities.
  2. Says the former squire who is obediently serving up his forces to be slaughtered by Boo. By Boo for crying out loud. I mean geez you must have already figured out where his forces are and are then assigning tight covered arcs so the TAC AI doesn't overrule you and actually put up a fight.
  3. Check this book out, an interesting read and it also discusses those particular shots in detail, including quotes from the guy flashing the "V". http://www.amazon.com/Street-Arnhem-Agony-Occupation-Liberation/dp/1612002641/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419794982&sr=8-1&keywords=a+street+in+arnhem I would be wary of taking too much historical from BoB. At least one scene (the shooting of that Cpt just prior to the enemy armor counterattack) was actually another unit during the push into Eindhoven.
  4. LOL was just gonna ask. Embedded video now works better...except for sigs.
  5. Welcome home speedbump. I am the latest squire of the Shavian House. May I take your coat? There is a nice fire burning in the other room to help take a chill off and I think an assortment of spirits to warm you from the inside. Our Liege Joe Shaw Knight Champion of the M.B.T., Justicar for Life of the Peng Challenge Thread, Creator of the Peng Challenge Thread Podcast, CessPool Drain Commissioner and Founder of the Shavian House is around somewhere Justicarating or sumfink. I believe he might actually be working on a new guide "The selection and training of squires for dummies" or some such title as a Holiday gift for House Rune. Was Emrys floating facedown? No? Darn.
  6. I would have voted for maps and mods separate, but the map forum would likely have very little activity. Map only submissions are kind of rare. It would also not likely work well with the repository notifications.
  7. couple things. 1 Maps can get a lot larger than that person apparently realizes or perhaps it was written when we still had the 4x4km limit. 2 Even a 4 km map is huge. Today's vehicles are a lot more alert to being fired upon. A missile fired from 4 km by a vehicle that has to guide the missile in is likely dead before it's missile can hit. 3. Even if it isn't APS can still eliminate the missile. 4. It doesn't take much to miss at that distance against a moving target. Undulations in the ground, trees, houses etc. 5 even with all that you will still see missile kills in CM, it is just hard to get away with. They are accurate at distance, if by chance you get to fire one and not get spotted. The modern battlefield is lethal. Sitting still is not a good thing. Okay now that is weird, when I went to edit I accidentally hit the reputation link...you can give yourself points..errr
  8. You know it really isn't fair to pose questions in that manner to old Boo. He has been staring at the screen for days trying to do the math. It is still just 5 Boo. He was just suggesting that it is an inconsequential amount considering he has many left. And no Boo having destroyed a 6th tank doesn't really alter the situation
  9. They are one of the coolest items in the game. Nerve racking if it is your air asset up there too.
  10. wow it took you that long to figure out what came after 5? I knew you were slow, but dang I think even Emrys would have gotten his mitten off faster that that.
  11. Of course not, you don't imagine for a moment he would either be reported missing or that anyone would actually search for him would you?
  12. as noted in another thread I did just have occasion for a Bradley to use it's 25mm (yes 25 mm, I got it right this time) to take out 3 Russian tanks that it was able to target at close range from side/rear. I wouldn't draw any conclusions about behavior at this juncture and with such little data to work from.
  13. I'm heartbroken, no matter what they say size does matter. Anyway it killed three tanks with 25mm then. After your Gray Eagle gets shot down, you'll be wishing you had my Gray Wolf.
  14. guys stop jumping to conclusions off a few incidents in game from an AAR with the game still going through beta.. It isn't enough data to make a judgement and if it makes you feel any better I just had a Bradley take out 3 tanks with 30mm.... yes 3.
  15. you need to set an exception in your software to leave CM alone. It isn't a virus, you are deleting the exe file. What works best is having it ignore anything in the Battlefront directory. The DRM can piss off some virus software in the newer games as well. AVG is known to be a pain in the arse on this.
  16. Ha you are allowed to enjoy your Christmas. Wait, let me check the fine print..... okay yes you are allowed.
  17. it was not in my stocking this morning......
  18. Click? Wait you didn't LOCK the door?
  19. It might exist among the QBs in the game, I just don't know.
