It's not in use with the Russian military.

Thanks! It's something I'll also check for the upcoming CMFB release.

There are stock scenarios that use them (e.g., Busting the Bocage ).

No, that's not the case.

Well, you failed in that miserably.

Somewhere in that video is also a bit of news from Chris regarding the next CMFI module.

I watched it, but I still maintain it would be an unnecessary distraction for the team. Not to mention, WoT has a fair bit more resources for stuff like this. Exactly

Why, so they can take away from their limited time and resources from more pressing matters?

It's a bug.

Is that a recent thing?

It's a known issue, yes.

That's nice, John, now move along.

No

Frankly, that sounds like a lousy idea, and I'm glad this feature has not made its way back into CMx2.

That's been my general experience as well. I can play scenarios like CW The Mace (which has acres upon acres of trees) with zero slowdown, but scenarios with even moderate building density drag my system's performance way down. If I had to pinpoint one area for code optimization, I would start by looking at the buildings.

I've fiddled a bit with nVidia Inspector over the last couple of days, and it seems like capping the frame rates to 60 has had a positive effect on my system's performance. That said, on maps with a large number of buildings, performance is still not that great (such as the CMBS American campaign mission that takes place inside a large factory complex). That, for me, has always been puzzling - why buildings with a relatively basic polygon count have such a negative effect on system performance.

Thank you, Jason. On a side note, the SVT-40, while advanced for its time, was not an ideal rifle for mass employment. For one, it employs a gas system that has to be set just right with a special wrench. Lose that wrench and, once the gas system becomes clogged, it becomes a very fancy bolt-action rifle. For another, it has a lot of internal parts, some of which can be easily lost when field-stripping it (such as the operating rod springs). Finally, there is also the documented problems with its accuracy (more of an issue when employing it as a sniper, but an issue nonetheless). Add it all up, and the M91/30 becomes a much more attractive alternative when needing to arm large masses of troops. All that said, it's a fun rifle to shoot on a relaxing range day, though I loathe cleaning it.

Speedtree?

Soviet Marines = sailors who have been given a rifle. They were hardly the same thing as US Marines.

I see you're rocking the Geardo look there. And what's with the non-regulation haircut! Tsk, tsk!

This thread is about as lame and off-topic as it gets.

Look at the announcements at the top of the page.

You know that's not how BFC does things.
