stone houses, wood fences, troops, tanks all look amazing

Just noticed there are couple new graphic options for nvidia owners like image sharpening, I have tried the sharpening but not the others yet.

Its in the huge PDF manual, found in your installation folder.
however I could not find where the manual mentions anything about target armor arc command, dunno if it has been updated to reflect this after the recent ai patches.
edit: It is not in the normandy manual but it was in the blitzkrieg manual
(although normandy now supports this now)
"An alternative to Target Arc is Target Armor Arc. It functions the same as Target Arc, except
that a unit with this command will only engage enemy armored vehicles within its arc, and
will leave soft targets like infantry alone. This is useful if you do not want your anti-tank
weapons to reveal themselves too soon against enemy scouts."
target arc
"Any visible enemy units that are located inside this area, or that move into this
area, will be fired upon. Any enemy units outside of this target arc will be
ignored (until self-preservation takes over and the Tactical AI decides to
override player orders; e.g. if an enemy unit suddenly pops up at extremely
short range)."
"is also useful to keep a unit’s “attention” focused on a specific
part of the game map while it moves. If, for example, you want to keep a
close eye on a bunch of buildings (where you suspect enemy activity) while
driving down a road, you could assign a target arc to several units covering
this area. The target arc increases the chances that units will recognize and
engage an enemy threat within the target area quickly"setting a target arc with vehicles make it so the acquisition time is less, so the tank, rifle or mg doesn't have to swing its barrel around to shoot, the barrel is already pointed at the center of the target arc you set. So yes it makes it so it can shoot faster.

Thanks.
That is where self-preservation takes over and the Tactical AI decides to
override player orders takes place.I never use any of the target arcs but manage out just fine staying hull down or hidden with opening up and closing the hatch in a quick pattern to see targets. I know there are great benefits to it that I am missing, but the AI and skill of the soldier do a pretty good job now.

On All Cm2 WW2 panzerschrek teams just don't ever get suppressed. I had 19 guys firing at them behind a stone wall, the team of 2 panzerschrekers destroyed the stone wall and all the guys.
Try that with a bazooka team and you will see what I mean.

Yeah no genetically modified stuff growing back then that's for sure..

Yes, but it could be removed so I don't mind.
The handle on the BAR was added after WW2, so it was used during the Korean War.
You can exchange the model with the M1919A6 from CMBN or CMFI. I've done it and it fixes the double bipod.
Ok I will try it

best played as allies, too easy as axis

Here is a video of it firing
-
Does the AI switch between ball and AP based on how strong the target is or or just when it runs out of one ammo uses the other automatically? For other vehicles with the .50cal as well.

I recall, or perhaps grossly mis-recall, a (real world) kills-per-shot statistic. Bolt action rifles averaged 8 rounds fired per casualty produced. Semi auto was closer to 20. Full auto would climb into the hundreds or rounds fired per casualty. Again, this is something I read once long ago and my numbers may be entirely off. But you get the general point.
..... Also you have to really plan your artillery well as Brazilian EF on this one, helps a bunch.

Notice how the BAR and water cooled HMGs pick up the slack of the springfields. That was a nightmare with them, imagine fighting as allies without the autos.

Does it matter?
stick to black sea or cma....

Could not move it as well, I tried to get the truck driver to run to is truck and reverse so maybe I could tow it but he never made it back. Never saw it fire but saw impacts from which I assume it was engaging targets way up there.

Did the gunner wait for it, or was it just luck?

These are qb maps and not scenarios correct?
saying where they go now..
C:\Users\"your name"\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Fortress Italy\Game Files\Quick Battle Maps
my quick battle maps are at 486, after these 4 RtV maps, using patch non full install
-
Just finished all the sp battles as allies, I would not move on with the next battle until I won.....
A definite BUY
OUTSTANDING maps and battles, your heart will sink deep as you are chasing an enemy tank over the ridge wondering if the dust will clear in time enough for your shot to leave the tank barrel instead of his...

After Action Report is missing
AT guns Lost
AA Guns Lost
When time limit reached and you win a victory nothing said about remaining enemy on map
surrendered or fled/routed or retreated?

not sure if the model is accurate but looks like you could use a pistol to do it if the hatch was propped open... maybe the tigers rear hatch was down or open?
What about fuel/fumes leaking form the rear engine area? If fumes ignites it follows the fuel right back into the tank! So many possibilities guys.
my chart says even an m9a1 garand ATRG can just penetrate 80mm of armor, and looking at this picture if it does stream through not much is going to stop those shells 88mm shells from cooking off.
Or maybe the story has it confused with an m20 armored car which looks similar. A bazooka can pop out from an m20 and kill a king tiger via rear turret or rear chasis.
Many m20s had bazookas and bazooka teams in them

ohhhh, that battle. Yeah, I lost badly first time. Then added 6 more shermans and some halftracks and played again -- I won't call it cheating, I'll call it regrouping and getting reinforcements. And it was still a rough fight. Italian terrain certainly favors the defender.
Yikes. My opinion is that the scenario maker gave more than enough resources as allies to win.

This guy helped me a lot
-
I never reloaded saves. played twice. I got beat the first time bad playing it. I had to do the only thing the allies could do in the situation. A lot of pausing and planning before and during the battle really helps. I'll let the other players figure out what to do if they have not already

RTV February thaw single battle(10/10 map!):
******************spolier below**************************
when taking the south bridge as allies they just crawl and crawl and crawl while on the bridge itself they teleport to different spots on it as well. you can see where one road meets the other on the bridge itself. Could be a fix to the tank crossing bridge problem and/or teleporting units.
NVIDIA New Options!

This is something you should try for yourself. I attempted a before and after but was unable to capture the sharpness. I run an older 760. The sharpness doesn't show in screenshots but it is definitely there .
edit I tried .70 and then full on 1.0 for sharpness and even that is a leap
