Pretty significant bug:
Whatever happened in the last patch, it seems to have given US troops and vehicle gunners IR optics instead of NV optics or something
Here is several images of M113A2 gunners destroying BTR-60s through smoke with their M2s during a game, and during a test mission i made to prove the bug exists. You can see the tracer firecoming right through the smoke in all images. I have attached a test mission so you can test it yourself.
 
As it stands now. Covering with smoke while playing as Soviets is completely useless and pointless.

This is a great idea. Couple this with an option for off map batteries to go onto standby to conduct counter battery. Like in fire mission type, they are then unavailable to be used to fire at targets on map with the text "counter-battery tasking". That way if you want to commit a battery to do that, it will mitigate enemy artillery usage by forcing them to move after they have been used, and keep them out of the game for a while.

Here we can see how glorious HATO force field fitted on M2 protects the engine deck against all similar 122mm top attack artillery munitions. Part of next generation armour system developed by DARPA utilising the pure power of freedom to deflect the blast. Visible is the dust clouds as superior fighting complex M2 drives away unscathed from its encounter.

Steve.

You don't remember the "I doubt we will see a prototype before 2018 posts?" from some posters on the forum. I didn't mention it coming into service or numbers at all, you simply bolted that onto your reply there like some kind of rebuke.

Don't be a chopper.

Well at the moment, it does have over modelled armour protection (bordering a force field) on its roof from incoming 120mm projectiles. Especially on the engine deck...

Alexey, you are not wrong at all.
 
The AI follows a prescripted plan. This needs to be upgraded. Just dont even ****ing get me started on how far this has to go to be considered modern. Thats all im saying.
 
Steve & all who argued against me in the Graphics thread - take note of another person concerned with the same issue.

Bradley cannot stand up to comrade tankist. However comrade tankist cannot stand up to HATO yankee tankist.

Boyo, see that warning up there underneath my name.
 
That's what thinking out the box on this forum gets you.

Howdy.
 
Happy Friday.
 
I have converted 85 of the Red Thunder QB Maps not found as duplicates in CM Black Sea over to be usable in CM Black Sea. All are ready to go as you can imagine.
AI plans are not perfect as they are designed for WW2 combat, but they are workable and more content is always a bonus right?

However, that would be a nice feature no? At the end of the QB it saves the units you use if you so wish, then when you load up another QB you can drop them in and choose from that roster. That way quick user made dynamic campaigns could be made on the fly.

Added new map: SG Holubivka-Town-Rough Meet Based roughly on this place here: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Holubivka,+Luhans'ka+oblast,+Ukraine/@49.2209589,38.456322,13.37z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x41204429c1148b79:0xa477f8c38e3997ef!6m1!1e1 Renamed existing maps in the pack to reflect their real world locations, as the pack will cover real locations (with artistic flair) from here forward. Delete previous versions to avoid duplication.

When I'm not being a nuisance on here or stacking mad loot from modding competitions, I'm making stuff.
 
I have been working on reworking some of the Red Thunder Master Maps into very large QB maps for CMBS.
 
v1.0 of this pack has three maps, an attack, assault, and meet on Radzymin Master Map 2. Each has an AI plan for both sides and functioning objectives, but would probably be better for versus play. I will do more plans for each map, and eventually convert all Radzymin Master Maps to CMBS.
Credits to the Master Map goes to BF Company.
 
I cant post screens because Im on my laptop and they look gash, but Ill try to at the weekend when I am back with my high spec machine.

Let me save you the trouble and tell you right away. As you are from the "East" (as myself) any personal experience on any matter is irrelevant on these forums. Only western anecdotal evidence is accepted.
