I noticed that as well, along with the green icon for the SG43. Hopefully those are just placeholder art.
Same here. Glad I wasn't imagining things. Hopefully this will indeed be fixed.

Improved Infantry Behaviour? I'd say defiantly YES! I just got CMRT and as I've always liked infantry battles I fired up a small meeting inf only QB. I didn't expect much, it being only a QB, but was pleasantly surprised when I had one hell of a battle! Instead of charging on regardless the enemy AI inf quickly got fire ascendency before making measured advances - I was lucky to get a draw!
I too have noticed this. My first game in CMRT was to set up an infantry vs. infantry battle in the QB generator. I as Russians and the AI as Germans. I was the attacker in this case. It was one of the best battles I've had. I swore many times there was a human on the other side challenging me for every piece of real-estate. Great fun!

Naaah, they need a cold shower of facts sometimes.
They'll never get their heads out of the graphics gutter unless they get a shock to the system.
More like a kick in the ass.

Thank you for the answers.

The largest master maps that I made for the area of the Soviet campaign in RT (5 of them) were around 6k long by 3 to 5k wide. These are pretty wooded, with two maps having a number of buildings (but certainly not "urban" like in CM:MG).
The master maps are not scenarios. They are for scenario makers to chop up into smaller chunks to set battles on- there are no forces placed (you may know this already).
The largest of the CM:MG master maps I made (Nijmegen being the densest) had many, many buildings on them. My 2013 Mac Pro with an ATI 7950 and 16gb RAM running Windows 7 64bit in Bootcamp was able to fly about the map with no issues. Load times were quite long back then however. This has been improved in RT.
Some people may wish to make an entire battle with large forces on these maps, but they should have a speedy computer to attempt a full master map battle. The critical question with anything as large as these maps with lots of forces becomes- What are your computer specs?
I took a look for the first time at the master maps last night. You and Pete did a wonderful job with these works of art. My hats off to you both!
You guys are indeed masters. I am already thinking of some scenarios I'd like to explore making on only a part of one of those maps. I have a question which seems dumb but I cannot find the answer to date. You mention the large maps are for scenario designers to chop up. How do you do that in the map editor? Is there some kind of button I'm missing in the editor which allows you to pick a section of the master map and carve it out?

You're allowed to be imperfect for all great quick battle maps you make, the vast majority of which work...perfectly.
I second this!

Battlefront offers those nice manuals on infantry and armor tactics for purchase. I have bought them myself and they are quite good. I have Soviet Infantry Tactics and Soviet Armor Tactics. Both by Charles C. Sharp. They are quite good. You might want to check them out at the BF store.

SU-76M Commander; Ey, make room for me too!
Now that is what I call a hull-down position!

One, can't afford $55? Get a better job or at least get a job. Two, do some research, particularly on features and what has been added since CMSF. Best to do some background work and post an intelligent question as opposed to showing us all how lazy you are.

I was thinking "wow" when I was looking at those radios too. Got to be a strong man to carry that load.
-
Those are very, very cool!
-
There were some pretty good scenes in there. It is fun to watch all the different and varied things happening in those up close battles.

These guys have run Battlefront for at least 15 years. Most of the whiners have only run their mouths.
Ain't that the truth.

I consider the UI to be one of the best out there. I actually use CMx2's UI as the standard. I like Graviteam's Operation Star game but hate it's UI.

Just got back from the park with my dog. Logged on and what nice surprise. Three minutes to go and I'll be playing. Waited a long time to get back to the Eastern Front. Thanks BF!

Impressive. Wish the camera man had given us a picture of what it looked like looking through that optic sight.
-
Yeah, watched it this afternoon. Done quite well. You do indeed have a gift for this sort of stuff. Hope to see more.
-
Been thinking of giving this one a try myself. I think I'll watch "Saving Private Ryan" first though.

LukeFF, don't be so calm. Let things come out and tell us how you really feel.

Thanks. So he was in Kiev, hasn't posted here since November of last year. No one had heard from him I take it? Got more things on his mind than gaming. Wish him well. Wish his country well.

Such a pity that BigDuke is no longer here to inform us from the inside, like he did during the war in Georgia.
May I ask who this was?
-
For some reason, today your pics do not show up for me.

LOL...yeah, I was thinking along the same lines a bit back. I was going to ask BF to slow down work on CMBS to allow the diplomats time to calm things down.

I second that. Good idea!
