-Still missing some Russian vehicles, mainly the MTLB + variants. Which should come next. Then a few other odds and ends and reworks of UA vehicles. Still need to mod all game's bridges (under way). Then rework the independent buildings (some, at least). Maybe make a dirty/used variant for the personal/heavy infantry weapons.
 
-Master downloads: I tried with some options, but the master downloads would be very large files, and my upload speed is very slow, that would mean hours and hours of upload time and my connection is not that good, I often get error messages due to connection drops/hangouts/lag spikes, so at least for now I cannot provide master (collection) downloads.

This is a very interresting article that I came across. I'm posting it here because it deals with exactly the situation we encounter in CM fights, the Platoon level. Usually, as far as MOUT is concerned, the focus is mostly on room clearing and the fight inside the building, but this article shows the importance of making sure you're getting to the building in the first place. You need to not only suppress and overcome the target building, you also need to consider, and suppress, any other buildings that the enemy could be using to fire on the assaulting squad. Just what you need to master to be successful in MOUT operations in CM.

hey, no need to be feminazi

Really,
 
Not even funny. My grandma, 6'2" dutch woman could kick your lily white puny ass.

Hi !

A general problem we have in CMx2 is that even after you are able to force enemy troops to retreat from a position they will just run back a few hundred meters or to the map edge, there they stay most of the time till the end of the battle if you dont kill them (which is easy because they mostly just lay in the open).
Units that have "broken" morale status for multiple turns and are x meter away from the map edge and have no friendly HQ unit near them should be removed from the map and counted as MIA (routed) in the AAR !
That would be more realistic and remove the "hey we are demoralized lets just lay in the open for the the last ten turns" units that you see everytime after reviewing the map.

@ 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.

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...

Wiggum15,
 
Here is, for its time (published in April 1956 as RESTRICTED), at least, the best singe volume study of the Polish Campaign I know of. It's also free!
 
The German Campaign in Poland (1939)
By Robert M. Kennedy, Major, Infantry, United States Army
 
http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/DAP-Poland/
 
Steve Zaloga and Victor Madej authored The Polish Campaign 1939, which I recall was a very good book. The link also shows several other works, one of which Zaloga also authored.
 
http://www.amazon.com/Polish-Campaign-1939-Steven-Zaloga/dp/087052013X
 
If you're interested in the armor and other equipment's camouflage and markings for the Polish Campaign, pretty much a topic unto itself, then you might like this heavily illustrated and pic rich book, Blitzkrieg: Armour Camouflage and Markings, 1939-40, another Steve Zaloga work.

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

No but there was a problem with moving troops that had one or two rounds fly by and instead of completing the movement they started cowering in the middle of the street.

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.

What if the battle lasts longer? And you can get an hq near the broken units and rally them? Then, if they'd evaporated, you'd have lost them.
 
The disappearing surrendered men simulate that they've been captured and escorted back (or just told to march that way).
 
Laying in the open may not be the best behavior. But, you're assuming knowledge of how the endgame will play if you want them to disappear at a certain time.
 
(Or, put an exit zone on the map. I'd think they'd run out, through it, if they get too demoralized.)

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.

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...

@ Raptorx7

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

@ Raptorx7

I just post what i think about CMx2.

This is a new game (I'm not interested at what the engine is made - it's not my problem) and I have my expectations (we all have them) - I hope to increase the quality of the product and the new content, so I made a list of what would make me particularly interested in - and this everything.   if I have to pay another 55 bucks there must be something more than a new campaign / scenarios and a number of new vehicle models     Wiggum15   you are not aggressive, they just are oversensitive

Actually they do, but within the constraints of making sure it does not interfere with game development, which I would think you'd agree is a good priority.  Now the fact that they don't comment on every "this MUST be in the game post" is more likely a combination of that and that they simply disagree that your must list drives production.  Don't be offended, none of us has a must list that drives production.  They almost never comment on those posts.  Thank god or we'd never have a new game.
 
Also again note another slam at BF not caring "anymore".  That is just such a "head up the a**" proclamation that even you have to agree it is over the top.  Can you at least get your critiques down to "I'd really like to see this in the game" level and not make every suggestion a shot at BF.  The number of things that have been added or changed since CMBN (much less what was in CMSF) is huge.  Acting like BF never fixes or alters or adds anything is just pretty ridiculous.  It would also probably help your long term health as honestly you sound kind of stressed out.  BF has a track record of not bothering to reply to folks who so consistently slam them.  Why would they?  You are behaving like a "shi**y" customer and they have better things to do with their time. (I said like, I did not call you a shi**y customer).
 
You aren't on my ignore list because no one is.  If I feel there is absolutely no point in responding to you I won't. Or at least rarely when you post something that isn't just ridiculously over the top hyperbole. Seriously if you just changed your approach I think you'd find there is more agreement with you than disagreement.  It isn't the content of what you say, it is how you say it that generates most of the negative reaction you get. A lot of folks on this forum are past middle age.  We have been around the block a few times and our threshold for what is generally viewed as immature behavior (I want this now! I have been asking and asking and I don't get an answer!) that would never fly if we were all actually sitting around face to face is kind of low.  It might help when posting to visualize that sort of face to face contact and think how you would actually converse in that environment. If you post the way you'd actually do that type conversation, then I wouldn't be buying the next round.   I'd ask if you could rachet it down a notch as the bartender is eyeing us like he is about to ask us to leave and the waitress is avoiding our table.  More than likely I'd go sit somewhere else.  Maybe Ian has a spot open at his table...or better yet maybe with C3K's intern.
 
Now perhaps you simply don't care what folks think about your tone.  Fine, that is entirely up to you.  What you will find though is your ability to actually converse with folks on the forum will decline as folks will just not want to converse with you. Ian is a good guy.  There are a ton of things I know he'd like to change in game and he has some really great ideas- like the command line interface for launching a game that popped up again recently.  That request is like 4 years old now.  I don't see Ian jumping up on his chair and throwing a fit.  That isn't because he wouldn't like to see it nor that he thinks after 4 years it is overdue.  He simply takes into account everything else that has been done and figures it just isn't on BF's hit list yet.  He is patient because he knows BF has a list and it is likely far longer than any list we individually have.

and I repeat it again - I want to see improved in the new CMB: - Textures of snow - I do not want to look at a copy transferred from CMFI - Sounds (separate ambient for winter) - New volumetric effects - Particle effects - New UI - I do not want to look at is not scratched tank - air bomb hit   fixes, which I'm waiting for 8 years.

Yes the campaigns in Poland, France, etc were stunning successes, especially seen in the light of the times where four years and millions of dead did nothing essentially. That said walkover completely belies the truth of the matter. Poland alone cost the Wehrmacht around 50,000 KIA which is 8k short of total US dead for Vietnam and that campaign was a month long. Norway was a disaster for the German navy and German troops in the far north (Narvik iirc) were almost ordered to turn themselves in to Sweden for internment after allied landings in the area. Hitler was talked out of it by the general staff and the German regiment in question fought a skilled delaying action but only was saved by the victory in France.

Wehrmacht casualties in Poland were more along the lines of 20k Kia/Mia and 30k wia.. Still immense for one month of operations. Certainly there are many interesting actions to explore at the CM level.
