Unfortunately, that's yet another example of how SMG-armed troops are still firing at targets well beyond effective engagement range.

You really aren't doing yourself any favors by making an ignorant response like that.

You and superwoz would make a cute couple.

The problem with that is that by 1944, the Soviets were able to train their troops better than in 41 or 42. Saying they should just be all set to conscript is a very broad and inaccurate generalization. Green and +1 morale would be a better representation for standard 1944 line infantry, with higher skill ratings for specialist troops like sniper teams.

He even posted it in extra-large text in case we might've missed hit point!

Will the UI in CMRT feature more tooltip text than we currently have? I'm thinking of things like tooltip text for the rank insignia, which would certainly save me time having to find that sheet of paper where I printed off the rank insignia charts from the manuals.

True, though another reason the Germans liked the single 37mm better is that it had a better effective range than the 20mm gun, in whatever form it was used.

In general, a single 37mm would better, due to the time it would take to reload it as compared to reloading 4-20mm cannons.

Great job! This is a great way to showcase a new game.

Actually, the provision for the tail gunner started showing up in the spring of 1942 via field modifications. http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/il-2/il2-camo/converted2seaters/transition.htm

Really good to see BF make use of Twitch. The developers of Il2 Battle of Stalingrad have recently been employing it to good effect.

That's nice, now run along.

What about animated bolts on rifles, MGs, and SMGs? Right now, all of the "animations" for automatic weapons fire, a soldier cycling the bolt on his rifle, etc., don't include the actual visual effect of the bolt (and bolt handle) moving.

And I can counter that by saying that WEGO TCP/IP will be a very enjoyable feature, and finally dispensing with having to see knocked-out vehicles with nary a shell hole in them is a very good thing. Graphics do matter in this age of computer technology.

Sorry, but I've hardly found that to be the case.

If you want the weapons and ammo, sure. Of course it does. It always has.

Well, there's your problem.

Is that the ammo pouch for the 2nd drum on the belt (the one below and to the right of the drum attached to the gun)?

Also, the "M1930 Rifle" and "M1930 Sniper Rifle" should be M91/30. That's what the Soviets called it.

If there's still time, I'd like to see the bolt handle fixed on the K98k model. Right now it's modeled as a straight bolt handle (like on the Vz.24) instead of being turned down at a ~90-degree angle.

Bump. That, and please make sure you didn't put a postwar stock on the M91/30 and M38.

Please tell me you didn't blue the bolt on it. That was only done during postwar refurbishment.

Fine, but yes, rifle and SMG ammo really, really needs to be available in consistent 100-round increments. Some of the available ammo amounts - as womble alluded to - are patently ridiculous right now.

Not for me.

I'll second that. The whole sepia-tone look just looks ugly IMO.
