  1. These super tanks are Hitlers wet dream. However as time has proven not very practical. That Ratte while interesting looks like a prime target for CAS. It would be the battleship of tanks lol. The E series of tanks sounded interesting and I suppose lucky for us they didnt implement such a standardization process earlier in the war. Not that in the end I think Germany could have held off the allies. But it could have been possible with more standardization they prolong the war or we see the first nukes dropped on Berlin instead of Hiroshima. Still interesting to see these plans.
  2. i am still on the fence whether to buy it. The demo was ok but the fight where the germans try to stop the soviets from crossing the bridge kind of scared me. There were obvious LOS issues in that which need to be fixed. As well, i need more info on the mission editor. I'd like to setup battles with a company of men supported by a few halftracks and tanks. Not 20 tanks and 3 squads of men
  3. Yeah, I am impressed with the level of model damage they show. I had a panther lose its turret and it looked very similar. Then the panther next to it had the skirts blown off it. Then the track and eventually lost more of its shell and exploded hehe.
  4. One question about LOS. It seemed like my paks were firing at armor which should have been hard for them to see due to tree's. Or are they finding a way to see through the brush and shoot T-34s from 1000 meters through a forest?
  5. I got smoked in my first trench assault. Then i decided to think it through a bit. I did the old CM tactic of laying down area fire on positions with my tanks at range and flanking with infantry. This greatly reduced my casualty rates. It is funny because I am so used to CM where you watch for 1 min, then spend an hour making your next decision. I keep forgetting I need to micromanage my troops a bit better and keep those tanks changing targets
  6. I played the mission in the demo where I had to repulse a Soviet attack across a bridge. They simply outflanked my armor and paks. I couldnt kill them fast enough then overran my infantry with their infantry. I was pretty impressed. In Combat Mission I probably could have pulled it off, but not here.
  7. I fired up a tutorial and it seemed like it has potential. Unfortunately lastnight there wasnt time to play it for hours on end. But the 30 or so mins i spent playing it seemed like fun. At first I nearly wet myself as my rig was rendering at 1 fps. But I remembered something about dual core processors having an issue. I disabled one cpu and it ran smooth as a hot knife through butter. I will play it more tonight and over teh weekend. IMO this is where rts's need to head. Slower more complicated gaming. Not spit out x unit 500 times and send your entire group at the enemy base.
  8. As blizzard proved, distribution of for pay items is a bad idea via bit torrent. I still cant believe a company with 8 milion subscribers cant spring for the bandwidth to send us a patch.
  9. Oops hehe, were 88s used extensively in 1940? Or was it one of those weapons that when used was decimating, but only saw action in limited scenarios and its use was overstated due to its godlyness? I honestly dont know. I will say in CM, the 88 flak was a prefered gun of choice. It was cheaper than the Pak43, seemed like it had a faster traverse, and knocked out most anything except the very high end armor at 1000+ yards.
  10. I'd check your facts on the old Athlon XP's. In most 3d gaming the A64s were beating them by more than 10%. Core duo's and Pentium M's were close but didnt usually beat the A64. Core 2 Duo's smoke them though.
  11. The thing I loved about CM was using Air support gave you the added suspense that 50% of the time it dropped its deadly cargo on your own troops.
  12. I have been playing this for the past few days. I have to admit eventhough the UI lacks, the game play is kind of fun and quick paced. Wish they had the option to turn the time down to 1/10th of real time. I find once you get going and are fighting in multiple towns with lots of infantry and armor that controlling it all can be tough.
  13. Interesting, I didnt know CC was based on a game from Atomic. The V for Victory series was very fun.
  14. I know what you mean. I now have respect for the recovery crews in World War II that had to recover the thousands of abandoned tanks on open roads because their tranny blew out or something.
