Night Combat is another thing that already was bad in SF and in 8 years never got improved.

I top would don't care about graphics improvements if they would improve the gameplay and realism, maybe overhaul the infantry combat or improve the TacAi. But I highly doubt any significant gameplay improvements will be included in the bulge game...

Sorry but the standard textures are pretty dull, boring...some would call this...bad. I do ! The distant ground is extrem bad, the UI is boring and old fashioned. It's kind of amusing how some here have a explanation for everything BFC does (they make boring textures because if the modders who keep the forum alive :-o ), they might also will have a explanation if BFC adds no new snow features and graphic effects...

I have nothing against JTS games, I like the Squad Battles stuff but you can clearly see that they don't put much work into the look of the game (the bitmaps). Oh and I highly doubt it's because of not enough time that the standard textures look that bad... Although they have improved a bit over the last 8 years... But that's not enough. Give the textures more love BFC !

Looks great, as always !

What a piece of art !

That has nothing to do with "spoiled". We should just hope that BFC does not go the same way like JTS, what they did was to create a engine some ages ago and now they sell it again and again just with a new TOE and new Bitmaps. BFC could do this too and still make money but only because there is no competition, so lets hope for some competition in the feature. What they could and SHOULD do in this new game is working a bit more on the textures ! Modders like Aris and Kieme have shown how much better the game can look if you give the textures some love. Or look at Juju's UI mod, that such a huge improvement over the boring standard look of the UI. BFC could just give these guys the game+any coming module for free and ask them to do the textures and UI, the finall product would look 10 times better !

So This Bug is already known ? Or should we PM one of the devs or ? Anyway I also could report it via helpdesk.

Uh, that almost looks like a bug to me. The daytime/lighting should not have such a impact on UI elements like the action spots. Maybe we should report that to BFC ! How can you "officially" report a bug ?

Thanks ! Did some more testing and in other scenarios i can spot them easily like in your screenshots. Looks like it has something to do with time of day and lightning. The scenario my screenshots are from is called "1- Training Roadblock". Can you try this scenario and tell me how well you see the action spots for US squads please ?

Here are some screenshots: There are 3 action spots highlighted (US Inf Squad) but two of them are really hard to notice. I cant be the mods because the color of the action spots is hardcoded as far as i know. Can you maybe post screenshots to show me how it looks for you please ?

okay, they actually occupy 3 action spots but only one is clearly highlighted, the other two are hardly visible, do you also have this problem or can you see all three clearly ?

Hi ! Just started playing some WW2 CMx2 again and wondered...do the squads really only occupy one action spot as long as you dont split them ? Or is this a Bug ? In CMBS i always get 2 action spots selected (one with yellow square and one with a red square) but not in CMBN (v3.0).

Maybe someone without the original CMBN should try it...its only 10 $...

Actually that was a serious question. I still think it would like to know how they knew i had the original CMBN...the v3.0 All Inclusive installer asked only for the v3.0 Upgrade key.

Whats a "Battalion of Luftwaffe Fliegerhorst" ? A Battalion full of airbases ?

And how does BFC know that i have the original CMBN and key ? MAgic ?

Hi ! I just bought the v3.0 upgrade for CMBN and downloaded it. After the installation i needed to activate it and entered my old CMBN key from 2011 but this one was shown as invalid. Then i entered the key i got from the v3.0 Upgrade purchase and that worked and unlocked CMBN. The thing is, i purchased the original CMBN back in 2011 with another account and email adress then the v3.0 upgrade and i never had CMBN installed or activated on my current PC. How did BFC know i had a valid CMBN key ? So could someone who only bought the v3.0 upgrade for 10$ also unlock and activate the full CMBN ?

But all stock scenarios (base games + modules) lack triggers and there are, for each game, only a handful of user created scenarios that use triggers. What packs are you talking about ?

Any more opinions ? I need some input because i have to decide if i will buy a WW2 game now or wait for the Bulge game because of the AI triggers (no, not interested in CMRT).

France '40 or Russia '41 ...now that would be a dream and a instant buy !

Wasn't it possible to get the AI counterattacking before the AI triggers were introduced ?

Hi ! In the last year or so i only played CM titles with AI triggers included in the scenarios, so i have to ask those who regulary play both, scenarios with and without AI triggers. How bad is the AI in pre AI trigger scenarios compared to the newer scenarios that include AI triggers ? Do you notice a big difference in offense/defense ? Is the AI tougher to beat in the scenarios with triggers ?

So whats the bug exactly ? What setting is buggy ? Mist ?
