This map is great! It really gives you an idea of how deadly the house to house fighting in Berlin was. Btw if you guys haven't purchased it yet, get yourself the revised edition of Bloody Streets by A. Stephan Hamilton. If you have the original this is even better and has a beautiful map book. Its easily one of the best military history books I own. You can get it for a good price at Amazon UK.

I didn't. There are portions that I have considered showing as video rather than screenshots but I haven't acted on it.
Whenever you're ready Elvis. I love urban warfare!

This is an absolutely brutal battle. I'm really looking forward to seeing if my perception of what's going on matches his.
Did you guys record this for a video AAR? That would be fantastic.

I'm looking forward to this module more every day!
-
Great AAR. I'm gonna guess the SS troops "convinced" the Volksstrurm it would be better to fight.

Thank you BF I bought CMBO when it came out and got my Panther poster. Since then every module, upgrade and battle pack and still love this game!

If anything it seems that it will kill the engine by cutting off the air intake. Actually destroying the tank seems alot harder. Maybe by igniting raw fuel in the engine compartment.

I think it would look better with a basic unknown tank model like cmX1, rather than an icon.
Thats one you play back over and over saying "where the f@#$ did that come from?".

I know about 203 mm and higher сalibers as off-map, but this is not the same that you have a gun on the street. Also, as you read above, indirect fire suport in conditions of urban combat was very difficult or even impossible and caused severe friendly fire effect.
How it is possible to make the module about Visla-Oder and Berlin operations without "siege warfare"? This was major component and culmination of these operations! Red Army, moving to Berlin, was forced to nibble heavy Germans defense. 60 km of distance between Oder river and Berlin Soviet troops was overcoming about three months! I always respected BF for attention to historical details, but in this case, making the module about this period of war the same like previous periodes, where warfare conducted mostly on wide open terrains and resistance of the enemy in the cities (except some cases) was not so rugged, you are making big mistake. Special assault units and equipment vs. new heavy fortifications could be new interest feature of the new module and reflect historical reality. Instead you will issue next usual "tankfight" sandbox Germans vs. USSR ver.1945 with some other toys, but in this time almost devoid of the sense. But if your conception of the game is just "meeting engagement", well I'm finishing to post next translated episodes about heavy guns and assault groups usage, this is havn't any sense and just wasting my time...
Haiduk I find these translations of the documents extremely interesting. Whether or not BF decides to include the big guns or not. shouldn't stop you from posting in this thread. This is great stuff man please continue!
-
I'd agree with Haiduk also. If the 203mm was on a SP chassis you would be able to use it in a direct fire mission the same way. If it was towed there it would have to be set up I understand but it wouldn't be used in every scenario just when a situation called for it. If Cm is going to model Berlin accurately, you'd have to have heavily fortified buildings that aren't always going to be breached easily. Of course the Russians used 152mm guns with success but I'm sure they weren't bringing up heavy caliber artillery like this if it wasn't needed. After all Hitler declared Berlin a fortress!
-
Too bad I was hoping to roll one of these up to a Berlin block and redecorate. Basically an 8" howitzer fired direct! I believe its 203mm though I could be wrong.

Thanks very much!

Yes! He did not just write it as a side remark. He made an official announcement!
The wait is on. And I will throw an epic tantrum (complete with foot-stomping, head-banging, fist-waiving, ugly mug-displaying) if CMPTO is not out by March 1, 2027.
Oh man I can't wait for that!!!
I mean 2027 not a tantrum

Wow, absolutely wonderful job on this mod. Thank you for you hard work and dedication to this project. This is almost like a whole new game. The possibilities are endless with this. I'm looking forward to some of the other scenario designers out there to make some Vietnam missions or even some Pacific theater missions! Again, thank you for this, it looks great. Can't wait to give it a go....

This might be the only way to get PTO for CM.

Beautiful thank you guys you did a fantastic job!

Rexford had many posts about this in the CMBO days.

I hear ya. I just watched some Russians pull a T34 out of a swamp. Cleaned it up and got it running. Maybe the video was here. I was really impressed. On the flip side I've got a 73 Steyr Pinzgauer (Austrian not German engineering...former Swiss Army) that fires up and tears up the WY countryside every Spring. Zero maint. Not bad for a nearly 50 year old German(ic) military vehicle.
Check out the video of some Russians getting an SU-152 moving. It was sitting for who knows how long and they worked on it until it started and moved!

That's a lucky Sherman! Good thing a panzerfaust didn't find you! They seem to be attracted to my Shermans.

Thanks didn't think of that, good movie!
