think direct firing on them is ok most the time, but from my previous plays they´re heavily bugged vs. indirect fires. Near miss mortar HE shells were already sufficient to produce a KIA/WIA and since there´s no buddy aid in vehicles you´d loose the guys and their equipment entirely. Not so realistic IMO. Another game breaker is/was the AIP´s obsession with engaging pillboxes as priority target all the time. I´d even some AIP Bn HQ blasting away at them although I´d given them a very limited TA (ambush or ambush armor 75m) and hide command. Could only solve that by moving these units out of sight (of pillboxes). This all happened in a scenario of mine. If the patch all solved that in the meantime, please let me know. I´ve not come to it myself yet.

Also before the patch the recce squadron with vickers k jeeps was in mechanized infantry instead of airborne infantry, it is now fixed.

Also mentioned another stealth one in that same post. It's not stated on the notes but in 4.0 when choosing British (dunno whether other nations also) airborne formations in the Quick Battle game mode they were missing their vehicles. So you ended up having to purchase vehicles separately (and hope you had enough seats in them). Less your guns/mortars are deprived of mobility. Less your troops are deprived of their ammunition supply. But that's no longer the case in 4.1 and each formation (even the Independent Parachute Company) exists with its own organic transport.

Oh also here's another related one. There used to only be one unit available to choose from in 4.0 when looking for Single Vehicles under Airborne Infantry when as the British on Quick Battles (think that was the Multipurpose Vehicle Jeep Bren). The others were missing in Quick Battles but existed in Scenario Designer. But now the units you have available in Quick Battles match those available in the Scenario Designer.

Edited to add: should mention this is for CMBN (not checked for the same issues and fixes in CMFI as yet).

That's interesting. I added a couple of MG concrete bunkers to @Kaunitz's map and they seemed to hold up as well as the PaK pillboxes--they took multiple 75mm and 76mm hits without casualties, then at some point after a minute or two of firing they would get a penetrating hit that inflicted casualties. One or two of those would knock them out. That seems like better protection than I'd expect from a building.

@General Liederkranz +1  Good job!!  Wow.  

I've noticed in the last couple of weeks that the 4.01 patch fixed several bugs I'd seen reported on the forums, even though they weren't listed in the patch notes. In many cases I wasn't aware that BFC had even officially acknowledged them. It's been fun to find these things, so I thought I'd start a thread to compile them. I'm grateful to the BFC staff and testers who have harvested these and fixed them, and I'm curious what others have found! 
Here's what  I've seen so far:
1) In CMFB, Volksgrenadier Sturm squads no longer have extra Assistant leaders. Reported and acknowledged after the 4.0 upgrade in 2016, now fixed:
2) In CMFI, Italian HMG teams no longer carry superfluous US 60mm mortar ammunition. Noted back in 2013, in 2017, and again in March 2019 but now fixed:
3) In the CMFI Troina campaign, US infantry company MG teams used to have M1919A4s instead of M1919A6s--but no longer. I noted that here in 2017: 
4) In CMBN, you can now buy Vickers teams in QBs without getting XO teams instead. @Oliver_88 confirmed this. 
5) Perhaps related to (4), in CMBN and CMFI, CW Vickers platoon 2IC teams no longer have erroneous MG icons, as used to be true (noted here):
6) In CMBN, the problem with acquiring mortar ammo from CW Carrier Platoon vehicles is fixed, confirmed by @domfluff here:
7) In CMBN, US MMG teams no longer fire off a rifle grenade as a "parting shot" after an area fire Target Light order is cancelled. I noticed this under 4.0 back in 2017 and I saw it again just now with my version of CMBN 3.0. But it seems to be gone in 4.01!
8 Another pet peeve of mine, in CMFI 4.0 US units with area fire orders would fire off their AT rifle grenade before their HE grenades, instead of saving it to use against armor. (At least, that's what I observed and noted). Not true in CMFI after the patch! (I also noticed that under 4.0, unlike 3.0, early US rifle squads carried two rifle grenade launchers. This hasn't been changed in 4.01, so I assume it was a deliberate TO&E update.)

Could the vehicle be abandoned? If I recall correctly, abandoned-but-not-destroyed vehicles still have floating icons, but they won't reveal who can see them when you click on those icons. It's something about it being only sort of a real unit I guess. If I'm remembering this right, I assume it would work the same way when a drone is involved. The fact that in your last screenshot, you can see the vehicle icon while the JTAC Team is selected proves that they are the ones who have spotted it.
 

I just tried it again, to see if I was being unfair.....I wasn't. 
Typically within 180 seconds of the start every unit under your command is either dead, panicking or hopelessly pinned.....You do get reinforcements, but they arrive piecemeal so you can guess what happens.  You even get a destroyer, but it takes a while for those things to fire (around seven minutes, even using the multiple TRPs provided) and all your officers will likely be dead long before they ever do.

This topic deserves to stay up high in the list of topics (no sticky topics here?)! So I thought I could add an interesting account I've come upon, cited from Joseph Klein, Fallschirmjäger. Piniere der 1. Fallschrimjägerdivision im Italienkrieg", p. 89 (poor translation by myelf ^^). The author - who was a platoon leader in the parachute-engineer ("Fallschirmjägerpionier") battalion -  narrates his encounter with a troop of Churchill tanks at Termoli in early October 1943. I found it interesting as it is an example of both "info sharing" and "shoot and scoot".
Context: He and his men stumbled into 4 Churchills when they peeked over a sharp ridge. The clostest tank was only at a distance of 50m and the tanks had to be taken out quickly as they were overlooking the path of approach of their unsuspecting fellow platoons. The author also mentions that they had no Panzerfaust, Panzerschreck ("Ofenrohre") with them. They had captured enemy AT guns, but were reluctant to use them as they had no experience with them. They also couldn't knock the tank out with grenade bundles ("geballte Ladungen") as there was no cover to approach the tanks safely. However, the company of the author was supported by StuGs. His platoon also had a StuG (of some short-barreled variant) at hand, which had to do the job: 
"Due to its inflexibility, our StuG was at a disadvantage against the British tanks. It had no turret, so the whole vehicle had to be turned in order to aim. Also, the short-barreled gun posed some problems*. We hurriedly discussed our options with the StuG-crew. [The author goes on to assert the truth of the incredible story, he also points out that the StuG crewmen - of the 16th tank division - were veterans from the eastern front and their StuG's two (?!) gunbarrels were marked with 8-10 rings, indicating the number of their kills] First, we directed our StuG to the left side of the road which offered better concealment. Then one guy went to peek over the ridge to spot the enemy tank and indicate the line of collimation/direction to the target to another guy, who acted as a grain on which the StuG could orient itself. Finally our StuG was ready. It would need drive up the ridge in a straight line. The StuG's low silhouette was handy in this situation, as only ca. 50cm would need to be exposed to the enemy tank-gunner. As they had also considered the angle to their target, the StuG's crew had depressed their gun to the maximum - it looked as if it would fire into the ground. One of our squad-machine guns and some riflemen would trigger the action by abruptly opening fire at the vision slits in order to dazzle the enemy tank. [details about the position of the MG and riflemen...]
Then we got started: Shortly after the MG started to bark, and rifles and machine-pistols started to fire, the StuG's engine roared as it made its short approach to the crest of the ridge, followed by the dry "bang" of the StuG's gun. The Churchill tank was ablaze. It had been taken totally by surprise. As planned, its crew had been distracted by the machine gun and rifle fire, so they were unaware of the more serious threat. But I can't rule out that perhaps the machine gun and rifle fire had also had some effect on the crew inside the tank. We all rejoiced and were so excited that we almost forgot about the second enemy tank and threw our arms up in the air. [the StuG had withdrawn back behind the crest immediately after its shot]

My Special Effects compilation is now ready for beta testing.
Download link is here...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0k0l1qdhqlcle7f/ME Experience.7z?dl=0
This Special Effects package is based, almost entirely, off of previous work from Vein, Herrtom, Barbarico, Drakenlorde, Aris, Scipio, "Pro-effects"(?) & Battlefront.
I have, for the most part, just reordered, renumbered, resized, renamed & rethought the work of those fellas.
 
 
The special effects modding options for Combat Mission are rather limited.
We can change the textures but not the animation sequences or timing. Nor can we create alternate sets of effects for different events (say a fiery explosion when a Tank explodes or a smokey explosion when a grenade goes off). I do suspect BFC plan to move in this direction (why else would they name their current explosion set "explosion a").
Either way, for now, I don't think there is a 'one size fits all' solution to improving the SFX in CM... although Veins effects come pretty close.
Therefore, I created these optional 'effects sets' which players can choose from based upon the CM game they are playing, the time of day, the environment, type of scenario, equipment present & personal taste etc.

TIME OF DAY SETS (place two zz's before either DAY or NIGHT)
DAY effects, these are the standard effects I've chosen.
Drakenlordes flames are, in my opinion, the best looking flames available.
Improved Muzzle blast, I had hoped to create a blisteringly fast muzzle blast however that doesn't seem possible because of how the animation is actually sequenced. Still this should look a little quicker.
Realistic muzzle flash, When combined with Barbarico's gray smoke these look far more realistic & subdued compared with stock or all other effects packages.
Smoke, after Barbaricos gray smoke, I've chosen Veins black smoke.
Vein style tracers, I've created colour coded versions to match the stock effects colours introduced in engine 4. These are smaller & less 'lazer beam-ish' than stock effects however I wanted to keep (indeed expand) the visibility of ricochets as otherwise firefights can look very stale.
 
NIGHT effects
I had hoped to create a much larger range of night effects but may pick that up in future. Either way, I did create a few night effects & these will mostly just make muzzle flashes & the initial flash of your explosions brighter & 'sparklier'.
 
EXPLOSION SETS (place one z before either of the four options)

Herrtoms smokey explosions... based on his earlier works, I find these work great for smaller explosions. Probably would be fine for most WW2 action.
Veins subdued explosions.... quick & effective, these work for nearly every situation. Although they're perhaps too quick for breaching charges.
Scipio's subdued explosions... small & firey, these too work for nearly every situation.
Veins explosions... perfect for when that Abrams platoon meets a T-62 Company.
 
VEHICLE DUST  (place one z before either NEEDED or NOT NEEDED)

The 'smoke dust' effect is used both during combat & for vehicle travel in dry & very dry conditions. Obviously this is important for CMSF2 but, if there are no vehicles or conditions allow it, you may prefer a darker dust effect more appropriate for most combat actions.
Although I've absolutely loved using them, one of the side effects of using Veins (or Aris's) smoke is a faint, but annoying, 'ghost square' halo around battlefield smoke (presumably because they've used the whole of the bitmap with no transparency). So I created new smoke bitmaps myself using some free images off the internet merged with the old, but reliable, "pro-effects" smoke... this seems to have eliminated the 'ghost square' issue.
 
WHITE PHOSPHOROUS SETS (place one z before either WHITE, BALANCED or DARK)

Initially I assumed that the white smoke effects were only used for smoke screens & such like. They are not. Indeed there is an argument to be made that they are the most common CM smoke effects of all & appear to be used for all manner of explosions, building & vehicles impacts.
This being so, I've created a selection of 'white smoke' effects...
"White White smoke" is great for representing WP smoke screens.
"Balanced White smoke" is noticeably darker yet can somewhat represent both WP smoke screens & combat smoke.
"Dark White smoke" is much darker still & excellent for smokey combat scenes... but very poorly represents WP smoke screens.
 
 
As per usual download the mod & place in your mod/z folder. Play around with the different options to your hearts content & give us some feedback.
 

Nice work collecting all that.

Thank you!! 
 
Hmmm, I just killed off a US platoon HQ team in CMSF2 and the squads are in C2 with the Company HQ.  However there might be a difference in how the chain of command lights work.  @General Liederkranz is your screenshot from CMFI? 
Also nice post up above General +1.       

Okay, specifically for @MOS:96B2P, and @General Liederkranz... I just checked this in two games and interestingly, it works great in the WW2 games (CMFI anyway) but not in CMSF2.  Maybe its because I was working with Syrians and they don't have this feature as part of their toolbox?  Does anybody have any answers for that?  
As for in CMFI... it works beautifully.
In the following image, the PzShreck Team is not in C2 to either its immediate superior (3rd Platoon) or to its Company HQ (2d Company).  Note the target line in each image will show the range.. in this case the 2d Company HQ is at 53m:
 
 
In the following image, the PzShreck Team IS in C2 (Voice only) to its Company HQ (2d Company - 43m):

 
In the following image, the PzShreck Team IS in C2 (Voice & Visual) to its Company HQ (2d Company - 23m):

 
So that was very interesting and I'm not sure why I haven't noticed it before..maybe I had and deleted the info from my brain's HD.    Anyway, I also tested this against the A Company HQ not in the same hierarchy and the Team acted as expected, it would not link C2 to that HQ team as it was effectively out of network... however using the Battalion HQ it could indeed get in C2 to it as expected (in network).
So this is great.  I will be editing my rules to reflect this.  Still wonder what's up with the Syrians in CMSF2 though...

These rules are really interesting, thank you for putting them together!
From my observations when a unit is in command from a higher echelon, that doesn't create a red command line, and it doesn't turn the chain-of-command lights from red x's into green dots, BUT it does give C2 icons in the UI. An example from a recent game--A team, 3rd Squad, 2nd Platoon, B Company is out of C2 from its Platoon HQ, so it doesn't have a red line, but it is close to its Company HQ (inset) so it gets the UI icons for voice and close visual command. I don't think this would be too hard to keep track of in-game if the rules depended on it.

 

I was just forming my thoughts in my head to say just that. I couldn't have said it any better. And you graphics even have my tactical icons, so, my pics wouldn't have looked any better either.

In many cases I wasn't aware that BFC had even officially acknowledged them. It's been fun to find these things, so I thought I'd start a thread to compile them. I'm grateful to the BFC staff and testers who have harvested these and fixed them, and I'm curious what others have found! 
Here's what  I've seen so far:
1) In CMFB, Volksgrenadier Sturm squads no longer have extra Assistant leaders. Reported and acknowledged after the 4.0 upgrade in 2016, now fixed:
2) In CMFI, Italian HMG teams no longer carry superfluous US 60mm mortar ammunition. Noted back in 2013, in 2017, and again in March 2019 but now fixed:
3) In the CMFI Troina campaign, US infantry company MG teams used to have M1919A4s instead of M1919A6s--but no longer. I noted that here in 2017: 
4) In CMBN, you can now buy Vickers teams in QBs without getting XO teams instead. @Oliver_88 confirmed this. 
5) Perhaps related to (4), in CMBN and CMFI, CW Vickers platoon 2IC teams no longer have erroneous MG icons, as used to be true (noted here):
6) In CMBN, the problem with acquiring mortar ammo from CW Carrier Platoon vehicles is fixed, confirmed by @domfluff here:
7) In CMBN, US MMG teams no longer fire off a rifle grenade as a "parting shot" after an area fire Target Light order is cancelled. I noticed this under 4.0 back in 2017 and I saw it again just now with my version of CMBN 3.0. But it seems to be gone in 4.01!
8 Another pet peeve of mine, in CMFI 4.0 US units with area fire orders would fire off their AT rifle grenade before their HE grenades, instead of saving it to use against armor. (At least, that's what I observed and noted). Not true in CMFI after the patch! (I also noticed that under 4.0, unlike 3.0, early US rifle squads carried two rifle grenade launchers. This hasn't been changed in 4.01, so I assume it was a deliberate TO&E update.)
