In each artillery support interface square there is a small + (green or red); at right there are six dots (green or red). If I'm right the dots are the responsiveness from the current spotter: and the + sign? The manual doesn't mention it...

When I play CMSF I enjoy it, really. I like realism, but I accept some limits too (maybe because I'm a software engineer?)... I play as overall commander, so I don't worry about micro-managing the squads; if they get destroyed, I think they have been caught by an ambush... patch 1.04 will improve infantry, so IMHO the better thing to do is to wait and see... These are my 2 cents only

I think that with a minimum effort Battlefront can release a printer friendly manual. Ok, it's not a software issue, but still an issue. A lot of Matrix Games manuals were similar to the CMSF one, and after the user request for a more printer-friendly manual they released it in less than a week. I'm a Battlefront fan so I'm confident

What do you mean with "hit text"? Something like old CM titles?

Yes... to keep a sort of fog of war, I was thinking to some variable delay in the log... it could be nice I think. But at least after a bunch of seconds I would be notified about occurred losses. If no other friendly unit in line of command was near the event the delay could be larger... but I'm just dreaming. Or hoping, Battlefront you are great

Yes, but I would like to have the icons and the small images around too... not only the text... What I was asking for was an identical manual, but with white background and black text. With a normal pdf reader you can't change that, no?

In Cross of Iron you can click on the event log and jump to the event spot; very nice.

I own the Paradox version of CMSF, and the printed manual covers only the first part of the pdf manual. So I would like to print the second part on my own. Unluckily the pdf manual has white text over very dark background, so printing is not possible. Can you Battlefront provide gamers with a second, printer-friendly copy of the manual please? I think a lot of customers will appreciate this... and their toner-level too!!!

Bump!

This is true. Sometimes I see the label "reinforcements" and there is no one... strange, it happened 2 times.

I don't know if this has been already requested. I find the lack of a "mission log", as in Cross of Iron or Theatre of War. I imagine something similar to the soldiers current status in the lower left of the screen, activable by a game option, to keep track of what is happening away from the camera view. Something like: "IFV ... hit by missile" "...damaged by shells" etc etc

I need this in 1.04 please I hate that huge writing in the center of the screen when I issue my orders

I'm just curious to see if the patch will add something good about this... it would be a substantial improvement. Yesterday something hit my Stryker, real time mode, I was "away" with the camera and so I have no idea of what happened... a 1 minute rewind would be better than nothing!

Very good news. My worst problems now are with infantry behavior... I hope they will self-preserve more in the future! Keep up the good work.

After some other battles... I love RT play but I like to pause the game to give commands (Neverwinter Nights mode hehe) often... I find the ESC key is not bad, but the SPACE key would be the best for me. And please remove the PAUSED message in 1.04 thank you!

I agree with TOG: and storing the battle in the internal format would be simple (as in wego mode) and it would be a very little load (as in wego). This can be made optional, obviously; and with no fog of war it would be VERY interesting.

I don't know if it has already been requested here, I can't find it. The game has playback support for wego mode. It's possible to extend it to real time mode and to give the player an option to save the movie? It would be great!

Great idea.

Hello and congratulations for your game. I think it will be the first of a new great series of games... I know you are working on other patches, and I'm very happy about this, the game has still some big problems but I'm confident about your effort. I have a small request: in CMSF I love RT play (I'm surprised to admit this!), but in some congested moments I prefer to pause the sim to give orders and to review the situation. Now, the big PAUSED message in the centre of screen is very annoying IMHO, can you put a smaller message in the upper corner of the screen? Or maybe you can provide another small memo, like a blinking icon... Thank you! [ September 12, 2007, 04:26 AM: Message edited by: CptWasp ]
