  1. I already had all of them except 'Kieme's Highway 2' & 'Junction 2'.....I can vouch that all of them will run in 3d Preview (at maximum settings) on my fairly powerful rig. Not sure I'd vouch for them running so well with a regiment's worth of LOS to calculate though.....That's what it would take to fill some of them, eh @sburke? PS - Here's an odd thing that might be of interest to those that deal with big maps on a regular basis, purely based on my own experiences. If I open a humongous map and click straight on 3d Preview, the chances of a crash/failure to load/whatever seems maybe 30-50% higher than if I open the 2d Map Editor and scale the map so that I can see all or most of it on screen as tiles, before I view it in 3d Preview. I have no idea if this is a real thing, or just my imagination, but it seems to work for me, so that's what I do.
  2. Nope, logical fallacy. Two boxes, pick either, that's fifty fifty. PS - Do you want to play some poker?
  3. Nope. Constantly repeating idiocy doesn't make it correct, it makes you an idiot.
  4. I'd recommend using a prefix rather than a suffix for ammended maps/scenarios.....That way they will be grouped together by mod when you view them in your (alphabetical) scenario list.
  5. There are two choices remaining, you can choose either.....That's fifty fifty. Unless you are asking if the new situation changes your probability of winniong re: the original state of play, in which case it does, it changes from 33.3r% to 50%.
  6. Yep.....It all came from the same German foundries. The RAF had a real soft-spot for those, gave them lots of love & attention.
  7. This well referenced article might interest you: http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/02/06/on-german-armour/ German armour appears to have gone downhill a lot earlier than is widely believed (ie: German armour plate was deemed unacceptable to the Soviets when they were cooperating pre-1941). Apologies for the format of the quote, couldn't figure out how to do it any other way.....Don't take it as gospel, but it looks very well referenced as I said & the author is pretty knowledgeable.
  8. Agreed. Have a list of culprits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_invasions You'll note that neither Russia, nor the Soviet Union are actually terribly prominent among them.
  9. From their perspective it was.....Sevastapol is massively important to Russia. But I suspect you know that full well and that you are being disingenuous. If China sponsored a Hawaiian revolution threatening Pearl Harbour, how do you think the US would respond? PS - Once again, I felt that I should point this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_War Saying the Crimea is not historically Russian or that Sevastapol does not reperesent a vital strategic interest for Russia is lunacy, plain & simple.
  10. I was talking about HE rounds in my own comments.....I'd really have to dig to source the anecdotes, but they're real enough. I believe the images of destroyed Panthers feature the products of the full spectrum of ISU-152 fire.
  11. So what you are saying, in essence, is that you are somehow surprised that a man, sat in an unarmoured truck full of fuel, ammo & men, is concerned about being parked next to a house that is receiving medium caliber high explosive rounds and continuous MG fire? Blimey, the CM learning curve is gonna be very steep.....You might need some safety gear! I did. Please do not be rude to people who are trying to explain how CM works.....You are not playing Command & Conquer.
  12. If it was a direct hit, that probably should not have happened.....It's more or less the same as taking a direct hit from a destroyer! If the shell impacted on the armour the Tiger the crew should be going benny-mental.....There are descriptions from crews of their tanks 'ringing like a bell' and of being able to see daylight through the weld-seams after ISU rounds exploded on their armour. Needless to say, the tanks broke and the crew didn't stay in them to find out exactly how long it would take for the welds to crack completely and for the turret roof to fall on their heads! Here's some of their handiwork on Panthers: :
  13. It helps to use the right names. SU-122 (T-34 chassis, very short gun): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SU-122 The SU-122 was an assault gun akin to the StuH.42, not a tank hunter.....The tank hunters of the T-34 family were the SU-85 and later the SU-100 (& SU-85M). ISU-122 (IS-2 Chassis, long gun with no muzzle brake, same mantlet as ISU-152): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISU-122 ISU-122S (IS-2 chassis, long gun with muzzle brake, new ball shaped mantlet): This is the one to go hunting big cats with!
  14. That doesn't sound terribly 'defensive'. It's amusing to me that the two countries most enthusiastic to fuel a war that would devaste the European economy for decades aren't actually EU members, but apparently the EU (other than Germany) hasn't noticed this yet. Be (very) careful what you wish for.
  15. I've nearly finished 'The Strip', the urban bit that I chopped off the edge of 'The Delta'. It's grown quite a bit since you made 'YOTR', so if you ever fancied doing a sequel in some urban terrain.....
  16. Makes sense though.....If they are dodging vehicles, they are creating waypoints of their own. Is their move order still visible at the end of the turn or do they act silly & then dump it? If it's the latter it would strenghten my suspicion that they are creating waypoints that the engine struggles with.
  17. Did you place waypoints on the bridge itself? That often seems to trigger 'bridge-bug' for me, so I now place a waypoint at either end, but nothing on the bridge itself.....I should add that I am generally dealing with rather smaller bridges, but my suspicion would be that the underlying mechanics remain the same.
