In CM games our commanders (WW2) seem to very vulnerable to small arms fire. It seems to me to be lopped sided. Almost always the tank commander gets picked off. Watched a you tube video not about CM in particular. What they talked about was a tank commander in allied camp operating from an open hatch during combat. Where the Soviet forces kept buttoned up. In built up urban areas I get it even with infantry in close support the tank commander makes a juicy target. But, out in the countryside? I was just wondering if the game engine is somewhat off as far as the frequency of my Wardaddy's getting smoked every time it seems to me.

Okay I get it. I can take comfort in the fact that it's not me and I am not out in the woods by my lonesome on this issue. Having said that, when I move my troops and vehicles around, I do tend to get somewhat reckless from time to time. Those nasty little Panzerfaust's. 
 

How about Soviet Airborne troops with this little guy

No patience is not my strong side.  In my meager defense I have been retired for about 10 years now...I don't golf and I don't surf....I do walk my three dogs and love my disabled wife of 29 years.   Just saying

Okay thanks for that...I wait somewhat patiently.

Okay...I'll keep my pants on 

I certainly would like to see that mod for sure.  There would seem to be a good deal of expansion possibilities. 

Well's April 7th in my part of the planet...So what gives???  I am burning up the forum looking some hint of a release of CW.. Any further info from anyone in the know?

I hope your wrong about that...but probably not I'm afraid

I thought this shot from the steam site was pretty cool...Looks like NTC on the move

It's weird so that means  Italian
 

The Chicken Men....

I want to say it's looks kinda like a Chuchill type running gear

I check the BF website and I saw the cold war post and my first reaction was WTF is this.   I could believe it.. Someone posted they thought they were having a dream.. I know it's funny and possibly strange for someone to feel this way about a game, any game.  I guess the kid in me and possibly most of us love history and our respective countries military.  With all the books fictional and otherwise written about and east and west clash would play out.  It for would not be without great loss and destruction.  As in the movie Patton George C. Scott said, "God help me I love it so".

No those for the recoil system for larger 90mm gun, plus a counter weight on the rear of the turret for counter balancing the large heaver main gun.

I find this whole conversation confusing.. I am not casting anything on you guys.  I am reading the posts and in doing so between the lines and I still don't get the whole steam deal.  What's the big deal with steam anyway?..  Just a marketing thing as far as I can tell...Am I missing something or what?  I am probably just not as smart as the rest of you guys.  

As is the old tried and true observation is "He who sees first fires first usually gets the hits first"... Or something along those lines.  First order of a gun fight is, "Bring a gun".
