I will have to try it out XD. I have more content than I can handle already. RT was my first CM game. TRUE LOVE.

Make me want to just play operational and strategic war games. I am playing the british campaign and am fighting what appears to be a desperate defense. I have no high ground, and the enemy has heavy concealment. There's a tank approaching my AT gun out in a field, it's probably about 300m away. I can get down to their level and see the tank VERY clearly, yet, they can't see it at all. I'm finding these little flaws in the engine to make tactical combat much more silly than it has to be. Thoughts? Similar experiences? Am I wrong? Please, let me know. Edit: Soon after I posted this, my AT gun found the tank, it's a wonder it actually made the first strike. It took them a while to spot it, but why? Broken binocs? Panzers are enormous.

This is not what that level looks like in 2.0. The level is bigger and more detailed. I am 100% sure of this.

I think he was being facetious. You're expecting too much. More campaigns will come. They take time to create. Effort. Battlefront has a lot of work to do.

I'm actually glad it happened. I'm watching this series. Someone else posted it to the forums earlier. Some of the things he's saying are gold to me.

I was 30 minutes into a WEGO match. Singleplayer. Third mission of Panzer Marsch. It was great. I really thought they did a great job on this one. It blew my mind that it happened the way it did. THEN BAM, CRASH. HADN'T SAVED SINCE THE BEGINNING. (sigh). Frustrated. Do not want to play whole level again. I'm not really asking for any advice. I just feel discouraged and annoyed and don't want to play that entire mission again. So I'm here. And probably in a few other tabs. Anyone have favorite naval simulations?

Hey, thanks :].

All is right. Had to reinstall everything in proper order. I think that battlefront should make things less of a pain. It was quite a fiasco. There should be a launcher linking keys to accounts for easy downloads. I had to refer to old emails for keys. Well, they aren't that old at this point, but, that's pretty ghetto.

Yes. that's exactly what I did. I didn't notice any install instructions.

I started CommonWealth forces for the first time today. Well, something weird is happening with the interface. It's not giving me proper names for things. When I hover over a rifle at the bottom of the screen, it says "medium atg plt". We all know that ONE RIFLE is NOT an ATG platoon. So on and so forth. Apparently the british also called their binoculars "Ausf.D". Turns out that it's also using the wrong save file folder. Found the right folder and saved to my desktop. Going to try an uninstall and reinstall of the whole game.

Gaming is my main pass time. And combat mission is about all I can play anymore. Normandy is really tying me up, though. I haven't beaten Courage and Fortitude, not sure I ever will, but I will try hard. Still working on the Road to Montebourg and Panzer Marsch. THEN, there's two more modules. lol :]. Much content.

I appreciate the responses guys. I will definitely be handling things in a way that is more conscious of mortar survival. Splitting the squads is probably something I should really start doing.

Well. I did play the courage and fortitude campaign....I decided that I will tackle that at a later date. It's probably the most extreme campaign of all time. I'm on the road to Montebourg. I don't normally reload, but I think I'm going to in this case. The Germans called two arty strikes and effectively ruined a whole platoon. I sent the platoon running after the spotting shot, but I figured I'd better send them running forward instead of back. Those who weren't taken out by mortars were shredded by machine guns. I really should've sent them running backwards to what I knew was safe, just felt strapped for time. :/

In Red thunder, I didn't lose nearly as many men to mortars as I am in Normandy. I'm finding that, as the Americans, the enemy mortars are very accurate and very destructive. They can shred a platoon to the point of being almost useless. Is this historically accurate? I'm just asking out of curiosity. It's making the less than 10% losses objective very difficult.

This is a mission in which I had to resort to unconventional tactics. I let my tanks pound the enemy infantry that I had spotted from afar(That's while having them in positions that the stugs hadn't spotted them.). After the infantry was weakened and nearly taken care of, I sent one lone tank on fast speed across the river on the left, he charged at that stug, full speed ahead. The stug couldn't see him, you see, because my tank was below him. By the time my tank was in sight of the stug, he was already flying past the stugs left. My T-34 got behind him, turned around, fired his turret AND MISSED. The stug turned around just on time to get one shot in, he busted my T-34's tracks. My T-34 got his second shot in and took that stug out for good. Then I had a whole flank to play with, and the battle was won from that point forward.

Did a google search. Couldn't find how to disable mines.

Wow, I even forgot this was the Red Thunder specific thread, to be honest. I just go to it every time.

I won't cause any spoilers here, but does anyone remember this level? Is there a way to disable mines? The only option I see is to mark them.

Yeah. CM is brutal in that way. I am often frustrated at my loss of tanks to ONE enemy AT gun or tank. It makes me want to restart whichever scenario immediately. lol. Usually don't, but those kinds of losses are very discouraging.

I wanted to love GTOS. I just suck at it. I can't do it. Two AT guns firing at two enemy tanks. AT guns go down. No other AT in my force, infantry vs tanks. I know I'm probably missing something. I just can't get into it when I could be playing Combat Mission or Command Ops.

I agree. Looks great.

Meh. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed having to pay $10 for the upgrade to 2.0 with CMBN, but I don't know the work that goes into upgrading an engine, so I can't really complain. I'm really enjoying CMBN as it is, glad I upgraded anyways. I feel compelled to try Afrika Corps. I definitely will, in time.

I work two jobs and spend plenty of time with my family. What I lack is sleep. Not that I came here to defend myself about how I spend my time.

It was $5. I can find $5 on the bottom of my shoe. The first operation I started playing had very interesting text, it really made me want to play. It was about Americans facing falshirmjaeger in France. It felt immersive and interesting.

Some people seem to prefer real time, but real time can leave you without the information you may seek. If someone is hit or dies in real time and you didn't see it, you won't be able to rewind to figure out what it was and where the shot came from. This is why I think the game actually needs more information in the UI, like a box that details your losses. We-go will allow you to immerse yourself deeply in the combat, just watch and enjoy. When playing a huge battle, I often watch the one minute turn three times, once for each flank and once for the middle.
