[Computer v Computer option?]

MikeyD, "baked scenarios" sounds like too much hard work, and a "mini action flick"? I wanna full movie

[Computer v Computer option?]

Can't be too hard to do, as the AI is already in place.

[Computer v Computer option?]

I know it's a game, and it's meant to be played by the human that shelled out the bucks / pounds / euros etc to buy it, but...

Instead of playing Human v PC, why not have the option to play PC v PC (I'm only thinking here of on the same computer, not multiplayer).

That would be a cool way to explore tactics and, ok, lets be honest, to watch a "movie" when playing the game seems a little too much effort...

A good and feasible idea?

[Why are 60mm mortars off-map?]

Thanks for the replies Wengart / Elmar.

Explanation much appreciated.

Wow! One person codes all this!!! That's amazing.

Re "CMSF shortcomings": I've had some really great games over the years (I won't bore you by listing them... or start an off-topic thread ), and it seems to me that it's the best games that generate the most heated discussions over perceived "shortcomings" - if the games were poor, gamers would just let them die a quiet death.

Where gamers care about "their" game, they naturally really get into it and we all have our pet "must haves". I suspect that game makers know what we're all like and don't take too much criticism to heart!

I can see the depth of CMSF already, and expect to be playing it for a long time to come.

[Why are 60mm mortars off-map?]

Ok, based on the Battlefront web-site and member feed-back, I've bought CMSF and the Marines add-on, and can't wait for the British Forces module - so I'm sold on the game...err... simulation (I keep telling my wife: "it's NOT a game, it's a military simulation" but she just gives me a saddo look

As a newbie, I'm probably talking anathema here, but, a question:

I can understand off-map artillery and planes, even large mortars - but why are the small mortars not modelled on-map as they are intrinsic to infantry units?

Are there programming issues, or is it a game philosopy issue thing (keeping focussed on the pixeltruppen (love the terminology ) or something?

It would be great to see little mortars being set up, ranged etc.

[Can you see airplanes / Apaches in game?]

Thanks Warsash, will do.

[Can you see airplanes / Apaches in game?]

Thanks guys for all the help... it looks a really great game, I'll be buying it, but not at $5 Patrocles - I'm in the UK and things tend to be a wee bit more expensive over here

[Can you see airplanes / Apaches in game?]

Akd,

Why awkward with 'copters?

[Can you see airplanes / Apaches in game?]

Hey, thanks for the replies!

So... the only difference between an F15 and an F16 as modelled in the game is the loadout then?

No other tactical differences?

[Can you see airplanes / Apaches in game?]

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying CMSF and can't see anywhere if the air support is purely "off-screen" or if you can see the jets / Apaches flying across the screen.

I assume the former, but would like the latter

Thanks in advance!
