[ISIS vs Iraqi Army in Ramadi]

At this rate, playing CMSF is becoming very hotly historically accurate

[CMBS Shadow of the Motherland Campaign]

Yeah I was useful for once !

[CMBS Shadow of the Motherland Campaign]

Hi @dragonwynn.. maybe I'm too impatient. Mission 1, is it normal that at start of battle.. during setup phase, i have no units ? Or is it an error from my part ?

Im running it on a  Mac OS X. Do the units come later on the game, after a couple of minutes ? Just gently asking. Thanks !

Whoaah. This is actually a very good idea. I also learnt to put up some mod legends alongside my gameplay.. That way I won't loose track.

I'm

Pretty sure tablets will play an important role in future OF CM.

[Camera Zoom Keys]

hey all. It seems this is an OLD thread.. however, me too... i own ALL CM base games, and modules. and in CMFI i cannot use the ZOOM keys.. in all the rest I'm ok. How come ?

Im a Mac user.

[Operation Hercules: The Invasion of Malta [WIP]]

one word - kohlenklau is BADASS...

[Operation Hercules: The Invasion of Malta [WIP]]

Hi Kohlenklau > hi all

Guess who's back from the dead to lead the Axis powers invade the island of honey - the island of Melita

The island of Malta !

It's good to be back. Sorry chaps for being 'off' for a while, planning the invasion entails so much effort.

[Question to ChrisND]

Are there pro russian rebels in the game ? (Not russian) but originally based in ukraine. And will they have a camo pattern ?

[Anyone else having mortar/arty spotting/targeting problem?]

I'm currently running a few tests on the artillery range mission from the training campaign. Will post the results later. The mission works pretty well for tests, as you can can line up the linear arty with the roads in the gunnery range and then just look at the crater pattern.

 

What's the best way to take screenshots within CMBS? I'll try to upload some shots of the results later. 

...drum roll...

[Anyone else having mortar/arty spotting/targeting problem?]

on a mac i would say, Command + Shift + 3

on a PC i would say press button 'print screen'

 

and you get a whole screen shot. Feel free to 'crop' the photo to remove unwanted borders

[Anyone else having mortar/arty spotting/targeting problem?]

Except it's not. We have no idea about the LOS you have, only what you think you have. It sounds exactly like you get when you have shonky LOS from spotter to target area in BN. The reasons for your LOS being dodgy are not easily extracted from your assessment of the situation.

Or it could be a bug. But what it certainly isn't is some special version of Black Sea that's especially designed not to work for you. Put some save turns in a dropbox folder and put a share link to it in this thread and I expect someone with traction will take a look. Until then, the 90%+ likelihood is that you're missing something, and because you're missing it you can't report it. The number of reported issues is entirely drowned out by the silence of all those people who haven't had any problem.

i would be honored to have a special version of BS just for me though i am just a regular infantry man.. and won't be getting specials anytime soon. It is true, might be shady spotting... hence, if i understand correct - Even though my scout/spotter has an 'active' LOS and the tiny icon turns into the orange square highlighting that i can click and drag.. it doesn't mean that it will be good/accurate ? Am i getting this right ?

[Anyone else having mortar/arty spotting/targeting problem?]

The detail is in the text above, and i am assuming at least 4 to 5 other players have experienced similar circumstances. Using a scout team to mark Line Target, and calling 'off-map' mortar fire. The shells hit the ground all over the place except the line target. It doesn't seem to occur when using 'area target'.

[Anyone else having mortar/arty spotting/targeting problem?]

It must be a different version of CMBS then.

[Anyone else having mortar/arty spotting/targeting problem?]

I cannot understand how something so basic , so imp is being under reported. Ppl are playing & ppl are completing campaigns ! There must be something wrong if they haven't encountered this problem.

[Anyone else having mortar/arty spotting/targeting problem?]

It happened whilst I used a scout team on the ground. No UAV. Did line targeting.,, and the result was horrible ! Am I doing something wrong ?

[Anyone else having mortar/arty spotting/targeting problem?]

Seems we have a problem that Is not the norm & not being reported by many others. Do we need to do a re install ? Is it a mac problem ?

[Anyone else having mortar/arty spotting/targeting problem?]

I second this. When I use line artillery / the shells hit anywhere except the line I highlghted on the field. Actually shells fell pretty close to my infantry !! Normal or err from my side ?

[First Impressions (General)]

Download from Malta complete, left Mac downloading overnight... it appeared it lasted around an hr of download.. installed without a hitch.. and runs flawlessly. Congrats BFC !

[Update on Black Sea release]

Next week. Next Friday is still end of January !

[Moro River Campaign...?]

I second you on that this bloody week was full as hell, and thinking on CM helps to ease some of that pain.

[CMSF needs an active screenshot thread]

It's like i m there... its like I'm actually there - in the middle east

 

Did you guys watch American Sniper ?

[Can UAVs be spotted by enemy units and destroyed?]

Not sure if this has been covered already. The raven... Will it be part of the weapons listing within an infantry unit ? And shown in CM as being 'deployed' ? Or is it like artillery, click of a button and says available / denied option ? Thanks guys.

[Update on Black Sea release]

Oxygen.,.. I need oxygen please

[Update on Black Sea release]

Noooo how could you ? After all those years together.

[So you're waiting for CMBS to be released - playtesters wanted]
