  1. Nope. V4 added a colour and a better look but the frequency, which is 100%, remains the same.
  2. There are only a certain number of FOW icons. This mod does not increase the detail in any way. Just a little clarity.
  3. Yes, I think so. I am not sure what to do with the WW2 icon sets. I am not aware of any forces using an unknown symbol. J should go back to my research but I might have to be creative. That will be later.
  4. And thanks to you for testing. Yeah I guess that was a bonus shot too. Same guys as @Bil Hardenberger was using.
  5. Well that's frustrating - it was marked as fixed - I have reopened it. Not sure if it got reintroduced in 4 or was never fixed. I know I never retested it so I am not sure. Anyway it is back in the queue.
  6. Yeah, I suspect that the previous suggestion would actually make things less clear and more frustrating. Those are some cool ideas. Instead of a full bullet by bullet count you could choose form "top up to normal", "extra load", "max load" (to restore standard allotments or load up some more to a reasonable max), "max AT" (to just get the infantry AT weapons). Having the actual results based on what team is involved - so mortar ammo bearers would be the ones that pickup any mortar rounds. Being able to do it from next to a vehicle would be nice (some animation would to extra cool). But there should be a delay to perform the task. Right now the delay is only a minute or less because of embark disembark on separate turns. IRL it would take some non trivial amount of time. It would be nice if the time varied based on the request, so a "top up to normal" would be faster that "load to the max". Yep, same here. My bold - totally agree.
  7. Here is a little thing I am working on for my floating icon NATO tactical symbols mods (CMBS Blue Force, CMBS Red Force, CMSF NATO). Right now I am getting it ready for CMSF2 but I'll make the same additions for CMBS too. Based on my own experience and @Bil Hardenberger's highlighting of how hard it is to tell the difference between FOW tank vs FOW light armour I am planning to augment my existing mods to include some options for the FOW icons based on the NATO Unknown symbol. Here is what the current iteration looks like. For those that like to play on Elite and lower there are yellow icons for the FOW (yellow = unknown). This is not really a good choice for iron because all the FOW icons are yellow and you cannot tell friend from foe. After a couple of minutes of fading. As an alternative and a good choice for Iron players I plan to have a version that uses red and blue colours but uses the unknown symbol shape. And again after a couple of minutes fading.
  8. Definitely a job for support: https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/
  9. The general is spot on. I would conceed that shoot and scoot is missed. The problem is that the unit moving into position needs to spot the target and aim and fire. Given the way spotting works, correctly I would add, the time to get the shot off varies to much to set a pause order and have it work reliably. Too often the unit will not make the spot and withdraw without firing. Or fire quickly and the sit there waiting to die. I would like a command that would allow holding position until a round is fired and then withdraw immediately. Personally. Everything else is covered and them some.
  10. How did you buy the base game? Assuming you did there is a process to get it recognized on your account. You should contact support to get that ball rolling. They can tell you what to do. Open a ticket here https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com The contents of the battle pack are part of the 2.1 patch which you can get here: https://www.battlefront.com/black-sea/cmbs-base-game/?tab=patches
  11. Agreed. Internationally he was well respected and admired.
  12. Oops double post that I cannot quite clean up.
  13. An excellent point. I would say that the AI is the one that suffers most and the problem is most obvious when troops in good cover under artillery barrage abandon thier good locations and start running around. So attacking the AI in good positions is not much fun. Human players can issue a pause command and force thier men to stay put. That helps alot and while not perfect pretty much sorts it out for head to head play. I snipped out lots of good advice there to highlight this. Always remember this. Your opponent human or AI is always playing under that same rules and behaviour. Even after the bug is fixed this still applies.
  14. You need both keys so well done BTW there is a 2.1 patch that you probably should add. Excellent
  15. Yes, I believe it does. I recommend going to that order and looking at the full install for CMBS. If I recall correctly you need to patch that afterwards.
  16. Good lord. You can call me names all you like. That will not change how I feel about it. Man, I even gave both points of view. The fact that you offer no charity to another point of view does not make you right. It makes you... I'll stop there. Oh and BTW it totally does effect CMBS.
  17. Hey, I get it - I have been to Syria (1983). It is a beautiful country with wonderful people. There are really cool historical places to visit as well. But none of that is available right now. People are suffering under a lot of uncertainty. Visitors would be operating under even more. There are lots of other places with friendly people and interesting history to see. Just don't go to a place with that much instability.
  18. He means the main menu screen BTW lower right corner. Sounds like you have not purchased the engine v4 upgrade for CMBS. You can find it under upgrades from the menu or just go here: https://www.battlefront.com/cmbs-upgrades/cmbs-upgrade-4/
  19. Well you will get some people who will say it is so bad they are not playing the game at the moment. Then there are people like me who frequently don't notice. Honestly if you don't have the game to play at all now then waiting is a lost opportunity cost. I would vote get them and play - there will be lots to learn.
  20. Thanks for the plug - my list does not include anything about quality though. If you follow any link to the blitz, which is available on some scenarios, you can see player comments. Not really a @Bootie issue some people seem reluctant to upload them to the depot, sight, ask @dragonwynn to upload them. Poke
  21. Well that is not a legit question in my opinion because your previous statement is not correct. I get it if you look at a handful of units up close and personal and you are fast with the mouse you can tick a bunch of the boxes listed earlier but at the expense of other units in other locations having even less attention than you give them in WEGO. You guys have constructed a straw man - that you can control all units in RT better than WEGO - I just don't buy it. I personally do not play RT because it offers so *little* control over the battlefield. My conclusion is that WEGO offers better control of what is going on. The exact opposite conclusion that you guys have reached.
