Maybe it is a relatively low proiroty project? Russia is a threat, but a large scale land war between Russia and United States is unlikely. Even a war break out in the next five years. US Armor can still keep its edge. On the oher hand, Uncle Sam need a fleet of F-35, Arleigh Burke Flight III be combat ready in the next five years, to counter the new toys handled by China. (like J-20 in PLAAF , Type 055 DDG Type 095 SSN in PLAN). It costs money

Any mod changes German's camo into woodland camo
Chibot Mk IX replied to Chibot Mk IX's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Hi Erwin I did search it but I cannot find CMSF German woodland camo. I am playing the game with "Euroscape" mod. This is a fantastic mod, but unfortunately it doesn't convert German troops to woodland camo. That's the reason why I am asking this question -
Combat Mission: Pacific Storm
Chibot Mk IX replied to Ridaz's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Pacific is a huge theater, it's not only about USMC or IJA, BFC can release one expansion after another. BFC can charge us $10 for a Soviet expansion module . $5 for IJN SNLF, $2 for Chinese nationalist army and communist army, $1 for Royal Thailand Army -
Combat Mission: Pacific Storm
Chibot Mk IX replied to Ridaz's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
How about this, Combat Mission : Vietnam? After that BFC can decide if they want to develop it further, make a CM:Pacific. -
Soviet tank off road capability.
Chibot Mk IX replied to Hilts's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
T-34/85’s off-road capacity was not so great compare to T-34/76. The new turret changed the center of gravity, it also made some part the suspension system reach the overweight limit. -
Try "The Road to Dinas" http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=314&func=fileinfo&id=171 Fantastic Campaign, but it is more of regular vs regular battle scenario.

As a 12 years CM player, I spent most of my time play CMBB. I began to play CMSF 3 years ago, and CMRT last year. The new CM engine is awesome, but I don't get the new "Hunt" command. in CM1, Hunt means your tanks will go to the destination at slow speed, stop when they find the target, engaging, will keep moving after the target be neutralized. In CM2, Hunt will make your tanks stop when they found something suspicious. But they will stop there forever, even after the target be neutralized. So the new "Hunt" is similar to "Contact" order in CM1? Can you guys share your experience on how to use "Hunt" order? Thx

If you want to make a breach on the wall by using Artillery support to destroy the wall, what is the best method? General purpose ammo, anti-tank ammo or air burst anti-personal ammo? which one will be better for this job?

Try RTB Mod (road to baghdad), there are a package for uniform&weapon, one for background screen+music, I am using the second one right now. Love the music... UnCon Theme mod is also full of fun, Warning, watch your time spending on the loading screen and music, listen too much music might lead you have the motivation to blow yourself up in the middle of a desert while chanting "allahu akbar"

Turkey and Syria (and ISIS)

Turkish army operate Leopard I and II, M48/M60, not sure if they have M47. They do not have M1 in their inventory -
Who were the good guys? (O/T )
Chibot Mk IX replied to Childress's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
to a jewish, commie is far better than a nazi, period. -
the discussion of AFV vs AFVs be translated into AT Guns vs AFVs, since the 45mm M1938, M1942, Zis-2 Zis-3 and Paks are quite similar to their tank guns brothers. And yes AFV's confrontation are rare. But on the other hand these confrontations are most crucial one. Both side on East front can only maintain a thin defense line. When enemy's breakthrough happened, both side's defense doctrine rely on Armor counter-strike on enemy's Armor spearhead. Either drive the enemy back, fix the broken defense line or slow them down and shield those poor infantry's retreat.

I think from late 1943-early 1944 Germany Armor enjoys advantages on East Front. F-34 and Zis-3 76.2mm has difficulty to penetrate IV H's upper hull and StuG III's front. APCR can do the job but number issued to the front are low. On the other hand, M3 75mm Sherman gun has no problem to penetrate 80mm in less than 500M.
-
if we ignore AP projects' material hardness, ductility, shape and L:R ratio, the penetration ability is determind by Kinetic energy value of AP's cross sectional area.So large gun doesn't always have greater AT ability, although larger caliber has some advantage on large sloped armor

New Kit/Equpiment Etc. For CMSF REMAKE
Chibot Mk IX replied to Mord's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Don't know if you guys have played an interesting what if scenario "October Surprise" in wargame TOAW, http://www.the-strategist.net/RD/scenarii/the-operational-art-of-war-scenario-606-2004-(What-if)-October-Surprise it describes an Iran invasion on Oct. 2004, before 2nd battle of Fallujah. I think BFC can borrow some idea from this Scenario. Set the timeline to 2009, small scale Syria civil war broke out, unlike our universe, there the rebels shake the regime but the Sryia's armed force is still intact. decide to invade Syria to save the dying rebellion. At first everything goes well. Then Iran moves their muscle to help Syria by a small(or large?) scale invasion into Iraq's Shia provinces. A Shia uprising was brought up too, the whole Iraq get into a sect conflict again. Iran also send some Commando units into Afghanistan. These two efforts are try to draw Nato's attention away from Syria. So Western was brought into a conventional invasion/occupation in Syria, conventional warfare/Unconventional warfare/sect conflict in Iraq, where to both US and Iran friends and foes are changing everyday. Last in Afghanistan, Taliban are eager to fight any foreign troops, no matter it is NATO or Iran commando. -
Hi I bought CMSF Base+Marine download version last june, it works fine on my old laptop+windows 8 system. 2 days ago I decide to change to another laptop. Without uninstall or unlicense the game first, I unplung the hard driver from my old laptop and connected to the new one (win 7 system). Then I run the CM, at first it requires me to input the license code, everything looks good. but when I enter the game, "CM Shock force.exe has stopped working" poped out. I did uninstalled-install-input lincense code process several time, it still doesn't work. My friend who has some knowledge on e-license told me it might be a license issue. Looking for some help here Thanks
