    No problem, very interesting threads. Yes, here's a few examples from Schneider's Tigers in Combat III which I have at hand. One taking off the muzzle brake, a penetration along the length, and a glancing blow into the the shroud. The last is the result of firing a damaged gun! Yikes! I guess the take away is that the game can't really depict what the damage actually might look like. 




    Do not attempt this at home kids!

    There's a difference, though, between the engine and the data - or maybe there isn't with CM, but in theory at least, giving someone the ability to add data e.g. weight, speed, calibre, ,muzzle velocity, rate of fire for a given vehicle, gun or small arm isn't the same as letting them muck about with how the engine crunches that data. That, of course, should be BF's and BF's alone to mess with. In addition, BF could act as gatekeeper for new additions, the data for much of which is already known, so they could do things like make sure nobody is trying to sneak a 90mm gun onto a Matilda.

    I'd like to see something like this...one engine, just one, that will support all of the terrain, all of the building types, all of the weapons, for ETO, PTO (there's a lot more to it than beach assaults) and North Africa, with a limited selection of content for each.  One engine to buy, one engine to patch. Because of the vastly-increased  potential scope, out of the box, the game might contain a limited sample of unit types and vehicles across all theatres, just to get things going. A bit like the original Squad Leader, which only provided MKIV's,, Shermans and T-34/76's, one personnel carrier for each nation, regular infantry only, etc. At the same time, release the tools for others e.g. modders or contracted third parties to create the additional content e.g. database entries and graphics. Find some to way make it worth their while to get involved, but ultimate control for releasing content would rest with BF. That way they could concentrate on the engine while others get the theatres/campaigns out more quickly.
    I'm not claiming that this would be feasible or realistic, just what I'd ask for if the genie-of-the--wargame appeared and asked what my wish was.  Regarding CMx3, I have to say that I have no interest in buying multiple versions of another engine that after another 13 years is still likely to have covered the same ground as CMx2. I haven't even picked up the new CMFI release yet, so depleted is my enthusiasm for the way BF is doing things - still no fix for the CMBN bocage bug over a year after it was reported. The military contract thing doesn't sound encouraging; it just sounds like more time spent on that and less time on this. I've seen that happen before with another publisher.

    Don´t need no poll. Commonwealth forces and expansion into VE Day for Final Blitzkrieg is due. Then finally we can go from D-Day to VE-Day with both games after 10 years of development.

    I dunno. Most players are playing CM single player. So I don't see the harm - who cares if you mode in lobsters.


    Really though I would love to see the AI and animations opened up to modding as we could see real gains there in the quality of the sim. The animation mod gives you a taste of the improvements we could see.

    Yepp...
    If someone had asked me 5 years ago what CM game i would be playing in 2020...
    I would have answered...
    "Ooohh. I don't know...Barbarossa, Typhoon or Case Blue"
    If someone were to ask me today what CM game i will be playing in 2025...i wish i could give the same answer...
    But i don't think i can do that...
    It makes me 😥😥😢😭😭

    Combat Mission Blitzkrieg. Warsaw to Moscow. 1939-1941 
    2. Combat Mission Fulda Gap 1970-1990. 
    3. Combat Mission Afrika Korp. Libya, Egypt, and Tunis. 1942-43. 
    4. Combat Mission Case Blue. Blau to Stalingrad 1942. 
    Don't forget a new version of the afghanistan game (CMA)!!!
    CMRT Fire and Rubble and a module  (CW?) for CMFB, IIRC.
     
    CMFB needs a big end-of-war module that includes Brits, crossing the Rhine and the Ruhr pocket. CMBS needs a module too, I think with Marines (from both sides) and whatever else they want to include. CMRT's almost all wrapped up and CMFI module of course was their last big release. Not to mention (literally not to mention) the government work we're not supposed to mention 

    A lot of (news countries) to see and helpful for Barbarossa
    Invasion from Yugoslavia 1941
    Germany Italy 
    (Bulgaria Hungary Romania Yugoslavia Partisans). 
    SO...LONG LIFE FOR 
     COMBAT MISSION

    I hope you don’t think I’m griping. I’m just trying to help. I know how much work goes into this kind of detail. A small company like BF can get so much more support from their community if they just let them.

    Battlefront,
      Could you create a poll to see what your customers would like to see next in a Battlefront release?  I've heard you guys mainly concentrate on topics that really appeal to you (which makes a lot of sense).  I would like to see if your customer's interests line up with any of your passions. 
    I, for one, would love to see a game centered on either the Arab-Israeli wars or Afrika Corps.

    We're just the guys who post on the forum. So it's important to keep in mind we may represent only a small sampling of the customer base that BFC has other data on. 
    But as usual ma wishlist as follows,
    1. Combat Mission Blitzkrieg. Warsaw to Moscow. 1939-1941 
    2. Combat Mission Fulda Gap 1970-1990. 
    3. Combat Mission Afrika Korp. Libya, Egypt, and Tunis. 1942-43. 
    4. Combat Mission Case Blue. Blau to Stalingrad 1942.
