well "hooknosed jewish bankers" sounds pretty bad... But there is the issue of wealthy organizations having (large?) influence on US government. Which in turn knows how to use their allies (Nato) to help fix problems the US has created.
Given the US support for Israel in the middle east, both political, military and economic, is very large and kind of strange, you could say that Pro Israelic individuals have a large powerbase in the US. However not all actions the US undertake are per definition zionist connected though, at least in my eyes.
It could theoretically be part of some larger strategic plan (scheme
) for the middle east. For example the dodgy thing called the invasion of Iraq, et cetera. However I guess that is thinking one bridge too far.Nonetheless, imo, US and EU should force Israel into actually negotiating with Hamas and stop the building of settlements in gaza and westbanks (which is technically colonization). Not that Hamas is so amiable, but it is the democratic goverment of the Palestines.
Sort of conclusion is that "The West" is acting because of the power of the $ (and keeping that power where it is), instead of the proclaimed love for democracy and human rights. Our soldiers are not always fighting a "just" war.
anyhow, i'm far from agreeing with Steiner14 but it isn't all roses either, as some others here seem to be portraying.
To partially go back on topic; At least the Dutch war effort in Iraq & Afghanistan give us their availability in the NATO module
At least thats is 1 positive result

lol somebody must have accidental throw the powder charge of an HE round on that campfire!

BUMP:
Directly from the ATI release notes:
""Combat Mission Shock Force" no longer fails after a duration of game play"
well all the complaints must have helped! Good to see ATI resolving issues specifically for games like CMSF, for which the audience is relatively small.

How about a (late) Panther vs a BMP-1 or even bmp-2?

I was always under the impression that targeting a specific floor has higher probability of shells hitting that particular floor and, with good results. Now whether those hits were simply caused by their rounds ballistic route, or because of penetration, thats something I have never really asked myself. I'm quite sure though that it has been (for me) generally effective to target specific floors, or better parts of a building. Like lowest few floors, middle or top floors.

very nice indeed!
Thanks

Hehe, perhaps there have been some changes that I didn't notice, I tend to try to keep away from arty / bombs.
However I don't think the JTAC team is able to report friendlies in the area targer area to the flyboys (ingame atleast). Would be some neat coding though

Actually, what I was hoping for is a INFILTRATE like command. Like a hunt command combined with HIDE but then without the actual hiding (lying down) aspect. In HIDE troops only fire back when they are fired upon IIRC. Something similar can be done when using a firing arc, but it isn't always optimal behaviour. For example the airfield recon mission in the UK campaign needs a new command in this fashion. The current possibilities seem a bit cumbersome to get the troops to behave like you want.
"Keep on the lookout but hold your fire gents!"
The only problem, there is no more space in the Movement tab
Now if we could somehow dress it up as a target like command, we could get it through since it should only be combining current code behind a new button in a place where there is space for said button
-
Ah!, as I understood it you meant that troops were supposed to carry on hunting after contact?
Currently I can plot X waypoints and my troops will stop hunting after the first contact was made.
-
I have only had friendly fire with ffar's (rockets) and in the beginning, when dumb bombs where still in CMSF. Perhaps the odd stupid danger close arty or bomb casualty, but thats only when I really take to much risk and bombs are falling down all around my troops hiding in the cellar of a building
-
Ah I thought I lost a post but I blamed the wine
-
but how would you then order your men to behave like the current hunt command? I mean plot a number of hunt commands and you'll understand what I mean. I like the idea but i still need my nowadays hunt
-
Indeed, I have a 4870x2 and the 'fix' works perfectly for me. It also works if I install the 9.3 drivers, but thats not really an option. As I understand it only works for Vista/Windows 7 though.
-
My pleasure, I only found it by looking in the google links beyond the obvious UK tabloids. Reading it now as a matter of fact
-
Although a command like somthing Scipio suggested would be welcomed by me, I also have good use for the current hunt command. Sometime you just want forces to advance until contact and then stay there and shoot the **** out of anything that moves. Especially in groups of units it is a (perhaps gamey) command to make a larger assault executed more realistic. I sometimes order large units a quick command near to the frontlines following a deep hunt command to be sure they will engage asap.
-
Hehe, didn't I say I couldn't resist? Damn I should read my posts before I post 'em
Anyway, the 2nd link I found, deeper in google, has some nice references to various sources.

By the way, the mother of my grandfather (whom i've never known unfortunately) was from Konigsberg East-Prussia and considered herself German, orso have I heard. I have met her once but unfortunately she was demented at that time and I was 5 or something. I remember I didn't like her
Not that I think that Kalinigrad should now belong to Germany, it is an interesting fact.

It's just that Steiner14's a German National Socialist. No, I'm not kidding.
Heh, could have been sure there was some kind of sarcasm in his post. Well if any other then Hitler did it one could say that East Prussia was occupied by the Polish. But then you are fishing up some history there, because the Prussians conquered it from [...]
If our dear Steiner14 really can't see the evil parts of the Werhmacht under Hitler, I guess he's not only a National Socialist, but also blind and deaf

never seen it before. Perhaps you installed a wrong patch? I think you dont need to install marine patch if you already patched brits. Otherwise just reinstall, would be my advice.

The question is whether any troops in the bush would have survived that slaughter...
Perhaps the trees aren't programmed to break under indirect hits?

Gray will be for the Germans, need to think what the Dutch and Canadians will have for their color icons.
Orange might be appropriate for the Dutch
