    The Road to Montebourg revision for v4.0 is available

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    Touched on all 3 guns the second time around but both of my assaulting teams got completely wiped out in the process. Only the two supporting MG teams were able to exit. Wasn't able to supress the two opposing MG bunkers with my MG teams. Got minor victory but failed to aquire the documents - how do you get them? And is it even possible to silence those damned bunkers?

    If you get the documents, do the Germans stil have big calibre shells lobbing at you in the 2nd mission?

    I have no idea why that might happen. Is your soldier physically placed IN the square? You should hear a notification that you have touched it.

    My first thought was that the game engine is perhaps confused because there are two overlapping objectives, one an allied player TOUCH objective and the other an axis AI Trigger but all of the gun positions are like that.

    Soldier (only survivor) passed the gun and set in the square next to it. Probably didn't trigger the touch objective. In all the havoc going on I wasn't paying attention, thought it did but aparently didn't.

     

    Am inclined to replay this mission. I now understand what needs to be done with those opposing MG bunkers which mowed down both of my assaulting teams down to a man.

    I wish you were right, but you're not IMHP. Ukraine is the most corrupt countries on the planet. Doesn't not bother anyone that the scum in DC refuse to give an accounting of all the monies billions given to Ukraine. Botton line is this war needs to stop, now. Before the west gets dragged into WW3 tanks and munitions be damned. I know this is off topic and I am not a Putin *** kisser, this way too many people have died for nothing.

    Erm, Russia is No.1 corrupt state in Europe, followed by Ukraine. While there has been strong civil anticoruption movement in Ulraine, the corruption in Russia is strong as ever.  You might want to check data facts before undergoing Russian propaganda lines.

     

    Edit: I am all in for more tank and other vehicle variety in CMBS, I just made a snark remark. :)

    How symbolically... On 9th of May the body of Russian pilot was washed up on the shore of Kyivan reservoir. Сrayfishes and catfishes eaten his head and hands, but the lable on the flight suit allowed to identify him - senior lieutenant Ruslan Mankishev. HIs Mi-24P was shot down over reservoir on 24th Feb 2022 during flight to Hostomel.  Helicopter with teh body of second crew memeber was lifted up recently, but this guy swam too long. Well, now his family has a chance to get new white "Lada"

     

    What? A body with only exposed parts being eaten away but otherwise fully fleshed up after more then a year of being in a water? How is that possible?

    Something I've wondered about a bit is what those berm-enclosed spaces are for in the Ukrainian farm fields, like in the the picture that I left in the quote.  There was one near the battle of of the T, too.   They don't look like they're used as a divider between fields - the tree strips seem to serve that function. They look a bit like they could be seasonal reservoirs, but they don't have obvious inlets and outlets, or indications that they have variable water levels.  

    They do break up lines of sight and make somewhat natural defensive positions in the open spaces.  

    So does anybody know what they are/what they're called?

    Historical earthworks against nomads?

    How likely is that war on Ukrainian land ends this year? Am I too eager if I say until autumn?

    Is it even possible for Putain to be owerhrown/killed/moved into a nice datcha and away from power the way he has structured his state machine where nobody has enough power to be able to do anything against him and where each player is played against the other by Putin? I would imagine losing Crimea could trigger the highest chance for that to happen, but ... - what do you guys think? Who has the highest chance to off him, which clan? Will it be military coup, a popular uprising, a silent poisoning, or a silent removal? 

    How likely it is Ukraine besides Crimea goes also after Luhansk and Donetsk? 

    I am positive these questions have been discussed ad nauseum here already so I apologise but I have since the last month and a half not had the time/energy to follow the posts.

    If you're getting low framerates when nobody else is complaining about it maybe the problem isn't the game. 

    Nobody else is complaining? Never has been? I must be either real special then or you must have burried all those other complainers somewhere deep. ;) So all the folks who said them frames are low since I started reading these forums many moons ago don't count? 🤨 20-30 frames are regarded normal for this game. I see slideshow at that count. While many people don't see a problem there, I do. Steve mentioned game update (was it last year?) will bring optimisations and I have been awaiting those.

    I think it's Hister's suspenders that are the problem to the low framerate he gets.

    Oooweee, we have a comedian here. Never heard this one. Bravo.

    I am holding on new purchases until we get game optimizations (engine 5?). Low frames are killing me. 

    I after stating the unstatable immidiately hide in a hole expecting backlash and peeking just so slightly out of it here and then to check if those long awaited improvements (for me since 2013) have finally arrived.

    Nice to see Kherson front slowly collapsing and N-E part going well for Ukies.

    Can someone please explain to me why Navalny would be a bad choice for a Russian president? I remember reading you in the know guys had many criticisms about him. He was a hardline nationalist, imperialist in the beginning and then like a chameleon changed his tune to be more in line with the Western expectations or something? What is his deal? Thank you.

    Those, who don't look at T-55 name, but at what inside the tank, say this is perfect tank, especially its gun with full digital FCS and APFSDS rounds, which have better penetration, than 125 mm Mango. I think, theese tanks can be placed to some air-assault or marines brigade either as "line tanks" or like "infantry support tank"  

    Thank you Haiduk and the rest who chimmed in.

    Tanks are supposedly not of much use in our terrain full of valleys ie our country is a tank trap. 

    May the gift serve you well.

    If it can be spotted it is history. It can be targeted by any infantry unit; it can be penetrated, and the crew can be killed. So it must remain camouflaged.

    Isn't this generally the case with all the tanks? Also please check the part in the article where its modernizations are listed because I think you might not have.
