Additionally the germans lost 674 tanks, 217 were total write offs (beyond repair). The campaign was rushed (because of fear of a french attack in the west where only some category B divisions were guarding the border) and most troops were inexperienced and tactics were untried. The french actually thought the poles could hold out for 3-4 months, during that time they wanted to "prepare" a offensive against germany.

*FIXED: Some black textures: gear stowed in back of UAZ 469 appearing as black, M1152 steering wheel, Igla-S missile, and occasionally Ukrainian tanker helmets. i hope this fixes the LOD bug on brdm's wheels too.

Maybe i just sound immature and aggressive because my English vocabulary and knowledge about grammar is limited ? Im most likely younger then most of you but started with CMx1 AK, bought CMSF+Marines+Brits, bought CMBN, bought CMBS, bought CMBN v3.0 Upgrade and iam a infantryman since 6 years. So you cant bet im not some kind of 17 year old kid that just bought CMBS because war in Ukraine kicks a** and starts to rant about the game, im pretty sure its because of my limited english knowledge that i sound like an a**hole. Or maybe iam one, who knows...

Thats true ASL Veteran, if anyone knows a good book about the invasion of poland 1939 with a focus on the military side (no osprey stuff) that would be great, i cant find one.

As i said Raptorx7, i did not want to sound rude. But opening a thread about it seems pointless because you will never hear anything from BFC about it, no even a "no we cant do it in the current engine" and some people will start telling me that this feature is not needed and "BFC has other, more important things to do"™

@ Raptorx7 I just dont like the "aww you posted something i agree with here take a cookie and be a good guy from now on" thing... Sound like you too are sad that BFC dont take part in discussions about their upcoming game and it looks like as if they dont care anymore about customer feedback and features requests.

@ Raptorx7 Sorry but i dont care if you agree with me (no offense). I just post what i think about CMx2.

Now that you mentioned Map overlays sburke (what, im not on your ignore list ?!)... What would be a great feature would be a map overlay for the ingame map that shows you impassable terrain. Two "must haves" for the next full price game are to finaly get rid of the unholy brown/green "map floating in nirvana" thing and make a "Road movement" command working (vehicles only) ! Again, sadly at the moment i dont expect anything "new" from this next Cmx2 release...

Just one last thing from me on this, putting people with a different opinion on your ignore list is most likely the cheapest thing you can do on a forum. But if the "everything is right with CMx2 and nothing needs to be changed" guys dont want to read about different opinions thats fine... As we know now, this thread is NOT about discussing the bulge game and what we the customers expect from it, its just for people who are drooling on it ! And the "Steve has said he want to..." stuff reminds me about kids telling their parents that they will clean up their room...but after 7 years its still a bit of a mess.

I dont normally use this but...LOL Really, telling someone who bought the games and plays them that a discussion is not worth it because he is a troll who dont want positive change... The people who actually dont want "positive change" are you and some others who deny really every issue of CMx2 and the way BFC handles them, you are happy with everything BFC puts out and puts a 55$ price tag on anyway! Why are you here ? Just to tell everyone who wants some change that his opinion is invalid ? Again...LOL ! People demand a reworked UI (for the next title), you tell them its not worth BFC's time and there opinion does not matter anyway because they are just negative trolls, thats why this forum has a very specific reputation amongst the non-fanboys.

Thats not really true, the french army (on paper) was at least as good as the german army, there were countless "CM scale" encounters during the 1940 campaign were both side met at equal terms and many which saw the French temporary defeating German troops. I would recommend you the book "Blitzkrieg-Legende" by Karl-Heinz Frieser if you are interested in this topic. Operational the French forces got crushed by the Wehrmacht but that does not mean much for the CM size of engagements.

I will try to reduce your post in the quote to its core... Here we go again, the typical attitude of this forum towards users who focus on (or point out) the issues of CMx2... a ) tell them to play another game and shut up b ) tell them they are idiots who talk nonsense c ) bash them and/or call them names ...as always. But why did they not announce new winter-condition features already ? If they are currently working on them and dont know how they will end up they could at least write something like: "We are currently working on..." or "We plan to include..." That they say nothing about it tells me they will just port over CMFI "snow" and give it new textures. We all know BFC has other, more important work to do...

Putting everyone who is not happy with everything BFC does on your Ignore list just shows how much of a (so called) "Fanboy" you and some others here are. "Near constant whining and no valuable input", should i laugh ? The only "valuable input" for you is if someone cheers BFC like a little cheerleader ! There is a technical bug report thread -> Hell no thats not a bug/issue, buy a new PC and shut up ! Someone points out a spotting issue -> Stop complaining the spotting model is to complex for you to understand, thats all ! A guy points out the lack of progress of the CMx2 Engine games -> Vote him down, and tell him how he is just constantly whining ! Someone request a new feature -> Shut up dude, BFC has "other work" to do ! ...just pathetic ! Maybe iam to negative towards BFC and CMx2, but some of you alre clearly way to positive about every aspect of CMx2 and BFC as a company ! So i just try to balance things a bit...

I highly doubt this will ever happen, the numbers were "wrong" since the beginning of CMx2 7 years ago and nobody can tell me thats not enough time to "fix" them. I dont believe they ever intended to "fix" the numbers.

Sorry but everyone sees that these screenshots are ugly, they better did not post them at all (and i think they show nothing you could not already do with the existing games/modules and some bmp editing... )

Thats actually true. Everytime i play CMx2 i think about how much better it could be if the developers had choosen another engine that wouldn't get the game stuck into a "dead end" from which there is no escape. CM needs three things, a more flexible engine (that means new features can be included easier and there arent that many "dead ends"), a ArmA like editor and a more appealing user interface. There are so many shortcomings and problems with the CMx2 games but its still the best 3D tactical wargame out there and really fun to play most of the time...

...you mean features that already were in CMx1 and suddenly disappeared in CMx2 ?

Yeah, Steve posting about his opinion about Russian politics and Chris cautions users from time to time...did i miss something ? Sorry i dont want to be offensive but thats all i heard from them in the last few months...

Again, whats the point of "Constructive feedback" if BFC seems to ignore this forum and has left many things the players complained about unfixed in nearly 8 years ?

Constructive ? Is BFC giving away the game for free ? No, they sell it full price and i pay full price. With that i also get the right to complain. What should i say "constructive" ? - BFC, what about a new UI ? -> Will never ever happen to CMx2 - BFC i think you should include new terrain and graphic features for snow in the bulge game, what about that ? -> Will not happen with the current engine or is "to much work"... Im just not one of those guys who (in absence of any official BFC employee in this forum) gives excuses for really everything thats wrong with the game (since 7+ years...) Oh and yes i have many positive things to say about CMx2, otherwise i would not use my money to buy it.

I think Tank Hunter is correct, there will be no "major" changes and no new terrain or graphic features in the Bulge game. The speed at which new features get included into CMx2 is very slowww... Dont expect anything "major" new in the Bulge game. It could be just a Normandy module but BFC decided to release it as a standalone.

Thewood1 is 100% correct, the DRM for the CMx2 games is unfair and way to restrictive, they need to do something about that !

Can someone tell me the file names of the menu background and loading screen background music ?

Kieme as far as i know you did only 2 vehicles in digital camo, now that have made a green version for the Oplot,...could you please make one for the BTR4 ?

@ Thewood1 What do you expect if the first post in a thread starts with calling Japanese Soldiers "tyrannical scumbags"... The BFC forums were once good for "above average objective" historical discussions (because the focus was mostly on the military aspects only) but that time seems long gone.
