    I suspect BFC is keeping quiet so as to not have us yelling at them to hurry up.  Which means I am very much hoping for a surprise pre-order thread one unsuspecting day.  Like they did w CW.  And hopefully it's soon.  NATO, marines, etc.

    I believe we were told that CM:BS would be the next game to receive some attention.....Personally, I can't wait.

    As Soviet this is unrealistic the FO can be next to his regimental HQ and the regimental HQ still can't cancel a futile mission. A flare should be sufficient I accept the HQ is not qualified to or has the skills to call new coordinates but it certainty can communicate stop.

    Shorker reacted to Fizou in Cancel ongoing artillery mission when the FO i KO   
    In an ongoing pbem I have a long artillery mission (22 minutes left at full ROF) where the FO has been KIA. So there is no way for me to cancel or alter this mission. Could this be something to change for the next engine update or in a bigger patch? Surely there would be a way for a CO to override an ongoing mission? 
    Now this is something that will rarely happen, and knowing of the possibility one can be careful with missions using the full complement of shells. But if its not to complex to add I think it would be a nice addition.

    #1 would be dynamic campaigns. Even something simple like the way the Close Combat series does it would be nice. I think it's the biggest thing missing by far.
     
    "Nice to have" would be something like a replay feature that lets the player watch the whole battle once it is finished.
     
    Better vehicle dismount/mount rules for interactions between infantry and vehicles.

    Actually, a different camera system. Camera 1 First Person shooter +driver's position. Camera 2, AFV Turret Camera3 Open. Climb up the stairs with the mouse wheel. Camera 5-9 Actual maps or screen displays. Stops borg spotting.

    Remarkable! I suspect the recent bits of information about "Combat Mission Professional" inspired people to make that particular footage.

    Shorker reacted to Commanderski in New Russian Eastern Front movie   
    The Last Frontier released November 4, 2020, (Russian title: Podolsk Cadets). 
    It's about the 3,500 infantry and artillery cadets stationed in Podolsk, an industrial city south of Moscow during the battle for Moscow
    Filming of The Last Frontier took place at the actual battle site in Kaluga Region. The river, bridge, houses, fortified areas and soldiers' uniforms and weapons were all carefully recreated, based on surviving records.
    CGI accounts for only 10 percent of the special effects. Instead, original German armored personnel carriers and Pz. IV, Pz. II and Pz. 38 tanks, Soviet 45 mm anti-tank guns and legendary T-34 were restored from museums and brought on set.
    The movie was made from the same producers who made Brest Fortress and The Battalion. The first link has a description of the film and a 4 minute trailer. The second link is to teh main movie site and your browser should be able to translate the page. 
    Looks like it might be a decent movie. I haven't been able to find out if there is a DVD or streaming site with English subtitles yet.

    There are many photos as well.  I posted one above, but I see on my other device it is not displaying for some reason.  I will try again:


    Some more:


    My conclusion would be that neither position is "correct."  Both were used in various circumstances.

    This is from Hitler’s Last Levy: The Volkssturm 1944-45:
    I can’t find any explanation for this, but indeed most photographs have the later-pattern bands in that position.  Perhaps given that it was in the national colors, they were afraid it would be confused with Nazi Party armbands?  The early-pattern white armbands, however, seem to have been almost universally worn on the upper arm.

    Hello together!
    In this screenshots it looks like the members of the Volkssturm are wearing their armbands as cuffs.
    I am very sure that the men of the Volkssturm were marked with a moveable armband that could be slipped over every coat or jacket and it was worn on the upper arm for better visibility. -> Like today's captains in a football/soccer team. It was not a tightly sewn cuff/bracelet like e.g. with the SS uniforms. Here are some photos, that support my statement:

    One of the tank's flaws in the game is they cannot crush people or AT guns under they tracks.That makes them a bit vulnerable against infantry in close quarters.I think that should be changed.Overunnig AT guns was a usual practice among tank crews.

    This is not a big deal,have an upfront agreement not to do this, anyone who would (take advantage of this is ) to begin with is a moron, it would easily be found out at the end of the game when you see the tank crews bailed out and hiding in the back , or if you see them scouting? game is VOIDED, will you play him again? no.

    In Soviet army humor there was a proverb "war is a сrap - maneuvers are main!" Opportunity of maneuvering with own forces is important thing, especially in modern warfare. One side can suddenly outflank opponent and other side can detect this meneuver and hit them with artillery to prevent outflanking. Or unit on approach can be detected with UAV and wiped out before contact... Most of CM maps really allow only "knife range fighting". If for WWII such large density of forces per 1 km and narrow map space can be explained because of  operative and tactical conditions of that times, but modern warfare modelling should operate with much more space. For example, most Donbas war clashes demand about 4 x 4 km maps as minimum! And this is just about a scale of reinforced company size operations!
