If the demand's there, why not cater to it?
Because they've made it clear they have plans for other things.

Seems like we may be more numerous than single digits after all.

That doesn't mean that there aren't enuff of us who appreciate what dedicated folks like Sgt S and MOS are attempting to do "re-imagining/re-energising" the CM2 game system to make the effort worthwhile.
Newsflash: no one is ever going to give enough of a damn for BFC to change the game into a taxicab or police combat simulator.
Oh, and it's spelled "enough." "Enuff" isn't a word in any dictionary I've ever read.

here are a few of us who trying to push CM to the limits, just to see what's possible and what might be playable and fun.....Everything from Police Departments, Taxi Companies (in a war zone), on to Street Gangs and right through to very, very small CIA interventions are on the table:
Well, bravo, but that's not what the game was ever meant to be nor will ever remotely be close to being. No offense, but the percentage of CM players who a give a flying eff about things like taxis in a warzone and street gangs is well in the low single-digit range.

The timestamp font color on Android is terrible, yes.

What is the actual effect of these fiery floors?
Nothing - it's a purely visual effect.

Either point him to a post describing board etiquette, or assume he's still relatively new, at 12 posts, and let it pass.
Or, you can do what you did which is less welcoming, helpful, or instructive.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to find the delete key before posting a giant wall of text as part of one's reply. It's also not exactly like we're in the late 90s and the early days of online message boards.

No, you won't.

What does the abbreviation H/T’s mean?
You really quoted that huge block of text just to ask a one-line question?

It has recently been scaled back thankfully, in my opinion, to something that may work.
It is nothing but a gigantic boondoggle that needs to be ended once and for all. It will never, ever work.
Anyways, yes, it's more off-topic.

Caps Lock key stuck yet again?

Erwin, really, drop it with the all caps text. We can read what you write just fine without it.

Stupid comments aside, the bug about the stretched necks has been reported as a bug.

It would be nice to NOT have to collect a ton of mods if the CM2 games start to feature better graphics out of the box.
Well, it does feature good graphics by default. You know, you can just load up the game and play it, instead of overloading your mod folder, which you have this infatuation with doing.

It's war pron, what's your problem?
There's a General Discussion forum down below for this sort of thing. John knows that, but he just continues on posting this sort of tripe here.

So, if you have equipment lists that seem to snow N number of weapon XYZ could not possibly be in a battalion of this type by all means feel free to share. Site your sources and build the case...
Mosin-Nagant production in 1943 alone dwarfed all other years of production - to add to what @DMS wrote.

Ok... How does one easily transfer close to half a TB of data? You could try to be helpful...
Well, there are these online repositories that have been created, you see...

The solution we've come up with so far is to buy a large BU drive, load with everything I got and physically mail it to someone for eventual upload to someplace like CMMODS.
1995 called - they want their disk drive back.

How long between coming out of combat and back in the world?
My experience was coming out of Iraq in the spring of 2005. It was a week back in the barracks in Germany, where we underwent medical and psych screenings, easy stuff. Most of each day we had to ourselves to do whatever we wanted. After that, the 1st ID gave everyone 30 day's leave, no issues or exceptions. So, I in essence had almost a month and a half away from regular military life before having to return to my unit.

The problem is that they still, for the most part, step out of combat, onto an airplane, and are redeposited into "polite society" less than 24 hours later with no time to "unlearn" the bad habits learned in war, which sets up a mental and moral conflict that's very difficult to deal with
Except that, as @JonS already said, that is wholly and entirely incorrect. I know, because I went through the process myself.

Both titles have their strengths and weaknesses. It isn't right to bash a simulator simply because you're more closely associated with one than the other.
Oh, please. Yes, I am closely associated with some of the devs at 1CGS, but that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion about the pricing model of both DCS and IL2. It's hardly bashing DCS when - at the moment and for quite some time now - all of the WWII aircraft have very limited single-player replay value. There are planes that have been in development for literally years now, and the only 2 flyable German planes don't even fit the map. And yes, it's pretty darn crazy that one has to buy ground units separately in order to populate the map properly.
Now, if that situation changes (and it looks like it may) I will reevaluate my opinion of them, but until then, that's my judgement of where the content I care about with regards to DCS is at right now.

Obviously it's a question of who decides what is interesting. Reminds me of the happy old days of the Soviet Union. Good times.
Oh, shove it. If someone sees that the topic is about suppression from small arms, that's the discussion they should see when they open the topic - not a bunch of grumblings about health insurance and car repairs.

Except that CM has never been about balance, so I'm not sure why you think that would suddenly change at this point.
