  1. It‘s not CM, but this (in development) board game may be interesting for you: https://www.gmtgames.com/p-1087-defiance-2nd-russo-ukrainian-war-2022.aspx
  2. Yep, of course. I come from Paderborn and lived there half of my life. That’s why I am extremely interested to see the Battle in CM. Especially the famous encounter with the King Tigers.
  3. Closing the Ruhr pocket near Paderborn, April 45.
  4. Whow, you are really micro-managing.
  5. Don‘t know if it helps much, but I remember there are some Crete scenarios for CMAK, which may serve as a reference.
  6. To second Erwin: Yes, „Hull Down“ command is pretty vague. IIRC, when given a hull down command, the AI moves the vehicle along the ordered path and settles at the first hull down position. Regardless in which direction. I.e., you may want to search for a position straight ahead, but if the first available hull down condition is perpendicular on the right hand side, your vehicle stops in that position and turns right. I personally, indeed, do rather check the line of sight in the direction I want to move, move the tank to a point just before the line of sight „breaking point“ and then inch a little forward with a hunt command.
  7. In my Bundeswehr times in the early 80’s, I was trained on the MG 3 (which is basically the same as the MG 42 but with a lower rate of fire). I trained on the 150m shooting range only and found it, indeed, accurate enough. Hitting the mark with the first shot was no issue. However, it has no single fire mode and, if you shoot from the bi-pod only, latest the fourth shot of a burst is usually far off. That’s why we were trained to fire short 3-round bursts only. Needles to say: A 10-round burst, shot from the bi-pod, would be a waste of ammo.
  8. Nobody replied? Strange. I do not believe the boxed version are still available, but you should be able to download updates for previous purchases. Larger updates, resp new versions of a game, are usually sold for a few USD. But the standard advise is: Ask @BFCElvis
  9. Yep, that‘s certainly true. I only recently lost an RT match badly. Felt strong with 8 or so SS-Pz IV. Until they marched into the cross fire of five or six SU 100. A disaster….
  10. I hate to say it, but my beloved Tiger often disappoints me in CM. Despite the frontal strength and fierce look. I.e., the video does not surprise me too much.
  11. Brings me back to @BDW original question A lot changed, but if you were away for ten years, you won’t notice the difference. The game runs better and a lot of glitches have been eliminated. The „going to Steam with a new PBEM and tournament system“ is certainly a big change, but probably not your main concern for the time being. Otherwise: I am playing CM since 1999 (or earlier?), too, but joined the Forum only in the early 2000‘s. That said: Welcome back mate! Forgot to say: Installation is nowadays indeed a lot easier, @BFCElvis will help you through that anyway. And there are „all in one“ mod packages available, which should give you a head start to make the game look nicer.
  12. Congrats! Sounds more effective than any of my encounters.
  13. To summarise: I find air support mostly pretty useless and can remember only one game against Bulletpoint, where he used it quite effectively against me. But even there: The result was more of a morale drop for me and a few friendly „KIA pixeltruppen“ on the map. Not to forget: The risk of „blue on blue“ is quite high…
  14. Yep, I always found Imgur difficult to use. Chuck‘s Discord recommendation sounds good. Guess I have to try that.
