heh I must've opened a wormhole somewhere:D

Anyways, i like space combat in Battlestar Galactica the way it is - at super close range and personal, with space fighter pilots literally beeing able to see the white in the eyes of their oponents.
Well can't argue with that. BSG is awesome.

Yay! More things to make me wonder why the hell my IFV's are spontaneously exploding. It really is quite amazing how many men must not even know what hit them on the modern battlefield. Are these the rounds they like to hit the taliban IED teams with?
Not surprising since men have gotten pretty good at killing each other, faster and at longer ranges. Imagine what a future battle in outer space will be like. I think the ones depicted in tv and movies are all wrong where they merge together and engage in gunfights, wtf! The future concept of a long range weapon will probably be able to travel light years, not to mention detection ranges! So there you have your fleet. Bam you're discovered but you've no idea. Next minute, while drinking coffee in a chair, bam you're dead:eek:
Woot.... precision artillery? At least there's awareness of imminent danger!..

i don't understand... if i set date to may 1944, some german squads do carry fausts?
the HTs don't have them in stock but 1~3 of the squads in the platoon have pzf 30/30k automatically.

nexus: the Hims incident
although the last mission of TF thunder has always been considered pretty buggy faik, so if more weird stuff comes along it ain't surprising..

i reckon nothing stands against side hits. aren't modern mbt side armor only some 80mm thick. the ww2 tiger1 tank side armor... also 80mm.
without addon era module an rpg7 would do. hell, once in cmsf my m1a2, with era even, got knocked out by a side rpg7 shot:mad:

I work two jobs and spend plenty of time with my family. What I lack is sleep. Not that I came here to defend myself about how I spend my time.
5 months old kid, taxing job with a lotta travels and a working wife. And we try the damnedest to support it. Nobody has it easy in RL. But I find your questions easily found out with a few mouse clicks, some research or some practice by yourself. Doesn't take all that much time, just gotta have the knack for it.

Falcon4 trumps them all:p

Just got it, also got CMBN. CMBN is great, I actually prefer it over the eastern front :X. I guess hedgerows and bocage are my thing.
However, I'm having a hard time liking CMBO. The game seems really neat, but the camera is holding me back. I had the same problem in shock force. All I want in a game is a smooth WSAD or up,down,left,right camera movement.
Is there any mod to make this possible? Or any way to enable it?
I know this is the red thunder forum, but there's a total of ONE post in the CMBO forum.
...
by the frequency you're going around these games i bet you'll end up liking nothing. Don't take it personal but there should be better ways to spend free time.

add quite a bit of replayability to scenarios, and also an interesting operational element to scenarios you haven't played before.
from a cynical point of view, replayabiliy needs to be limited to stimulate future sales.
*flame suit on!*

I am different, i like the pain that detailed combat sims often bring with them. What has turned me off from buying SB ever since i heard of it is the price: 160$ for the game + the manual + the upgrade (whatever this might be)?
price of SB seems to be debated a lot, indeed much higher than average but i'd imagine if some of the quality sims in the early 2000s didn't die off and continued, they'd go at the same rate. and ofc hardcore fans will explain what there is to get with that amount of money. (and for sims like that game price is just the start, probably also need a good rig, joystick by the sound of it and good internet for multiplayer
nothing gaming on a laptop in a hotel room kinda stuff)i can get the steep learning curve down pat as well, just hope they add in campaign at some point. however since they deal primarily military contracts my hopes ain't high...
Skwabie <-- always looking for the ultimate sim

Dude why wait for something that might never come, here's reality, get steel breasts pro pe and game fulda gap to your hearts delight. Cm is the best WWII sim, but steel beasts is the best modern warfare sim. If you haven't tried it I strongly recommend you do so.
well just wanna say i agree. for me personally, no campaign is the breaking point. but i imagine for most ppl SB Pro should be the one.

eh... back to objective normandy in tf thunder atm. it's still very fun. wet dreaming will havta wait!

I'm playing with the Euroscape mod vs the Russians and they are using RPG30's and I presume other different weapons so I don't know if that makes a difference. I also don't know if the skill and motivation is a factor too.
all CM mods are skin jobs mate..
-
sry then... must be a CMSF only thing there..
-
I just saw something called Euroscape that replaces the Syrians with the Russians. Has anyone tried it?
thought the general opinion was.. awesome. I think it was highly recommended if going for a few user made campaigns like GeorgeMC's forging steel

Squallion just saw your post in CMRT. I can think of 3 things. 1 is patch to the latest level, earlier versions of CMSF are buggy and camera movement indeed wasn't smooth from my own experience. 2 is tune down graphics settings, SF is still somewhat graphics intensive with highest model quality setting, if your puter ain't up to the task it could simply be low fps playing the bad trick. 3 is well, try to get used to it as the camera control is indeed different from other games (but ofc if it feels ok in CMRT then this one doesn't count..)
-
Quite different compared to Japan and Russia, come to think of it.
Got a dutch friend who was fretting not getting the F-35. I said you euros seem to be living large and enjoying life and that is awesome far as i see.:cool:

Shock Force for me too, I think at the end of day it depicts an ongoing conflict, well.. to some extent, and I can relate to it more so feel more immersive playing it.
Reason to go for WW2 is because the user interface updates that comes with the new engines... mouse hand feels less strain:o

Given that most of the world thinks Angry Birds and Candy Crush are what computer games are about I find it strange that the minor wargame sect factionalise and bitch so much amongst themselves.
Hearts of Iron is a great game. Most of what Paradox have done are terrific historical games; so too for AGEOD and Matrix. CM too, of course.
Pretty much all of these games are good and potentially instructive to children and could be too to our wretched politicians who have such a shallow understanding of history.
actually wargaming ain't doing too bad all things considered I reckon. There're those 'average' game forums that don't get new posts for weeks or pretty much dead, but look at boards of CM!..
Did recently take a look at HOI and it was just too complex. Sort of focuses on everything and actually nothing... then another look at war in the pacific by matrix games. Still had to let it go coz all these hex stuff without at least some WYSIWYG element just ain't for me...

Hmmmm...... I'm not sure about this, and I designed the mission !
P
My bad. Got it confused with angriffe.
-
There're 2 IS1s. One is immobilized and they're hiding in the woods so indeed hard to see..

..with main gun offline 'target' means the tank will just shoot the MG and therefore 'target light' no longer exists

eh I wouldn't mind, all just waiting here for black sea and it still has a ways to come. So here's another theory I got, from a book. It considers the universe a patch of dark forest. In it are inhabitants. Obviously resources are limited. So who ever lights a fire and gets seen by others first is exterminated.
So earth accidentally sends out a very deep space communication signal. Which is received by some distant but relatively close sentient being. They in turn sends out an object towards earth. The object's sole purpose is collapsing earth from a 3D object into a 2D entity.
So the book entails stories of different characters in this final age of men. The whole thing takes process in hundreds years time, I think it takes decades just for the object to travel to earth and of course decades for the dark forest theory to be figured out. Men tried to build space stations around the planet and the moon but apparently to no avail, the only survivors being crews aboard the space fleet they managed to put together in time.
Very grim and bleak setting, none of that colonization, space trading and war conflicts stuff just extermination and survival.
