    It seems a little bit too much!

    Hello guys, 

    I was playing the campaign "raging Buffalo" from CMFI Gustav Line and on the last battle when you as the American have to defend the town from overwhelming armored German troops I saw for the first time the Elefant tank destroyer in action. 

     

    I knew it was a beast but

    1) I hit it twice, once from the back once from the side with a bazooka and it didn't penetrate and the defense tab shows it is vulnerable to heat shells. 

    2) Then i hit it 4 times with the lethal 76 mm gun of a m10. Yes, I hit it on the front which is the thickest side bit but it was from 5 meters distance. It didn't penetrate but the elefant destroyed my m10. 

    I needed to withdraw everyone from that position because of the elefant and 3) I called a heavy barrage on him. 

    The 105 mm guns of the priest rained down just on its position and they hit it 5 times on the top. After the barrage, when the smoke dissolved it was still alive. 

    At the end of the scenario I reviewed the map and I found it had optics, wpn controls and tracks destroyed but the crew was all still alive, not even lightly injured. 

    Of a total of 11 hits (5 105 mm on top, 2 heat on back and side and 4 76 mm on the front armor from 5 meters) none of them scored a penetration. 

    Isn't it a little bit too much? Is there a way to kill him?

    If you want me to check the installation open a Help Desk ticket and attach a screenshot of the contents of the game's Data folder and I'll be able to see right away. 

     

    I'm trying to open a ticket but I can't see a way to attach a screenshot there. Can you help me please?

    Thank you for your replies!

    So I started the whole campaign from the beginning, to play all of it on the latest patch. I deployed soon my light mortars close to the jeep so they can have radio contact with the FO and ordered to fire on the antitank gun position. after 3 turns, when they should have started with the spotting rounds, they lost contact with the FO, both mortars, same moment, so I guess it is not one of those random issues that can happen to simulate real life inconveniences like radio signal lost. I just went through the next 10 turns quickly just to see if they would have been able to get in touch with FO again but no, that didn't happen. I also tried to move them after that and position them in other spots close to the jeeps but it didn't work so, yes please, I'm opening aticket to check the installation.

    Hi BFC Elvis,

    Just want to make sure I understand how to proceed. Does this mean we need to install the 2.10 patch right after we download the Rome to Victory module or is it included in the current module? Should we start up the game with the new module once before we install the patch (assuming we need to install the patch)? Is there an option to do a full installation after purchasing the Rome to Victory module - and will that do away with the need for the separate patch installation? Thanks.

    Yes, at the moment it is included in the module.

    Hello everyone, 

    I'm experiencing weird stuff on the last version of the game and I want to make sure I did everything correctly when updating. 

     

    So, I had the game updated to 2.02 version and started the campaign raging buffalo and played first mission without any problem. 

    Then I decided to buy rome to victory module. The description said there wasn't  anything to download but only to activate but after I bought it it gave me access to a 2GB file called update 2.10. So I thought it was the last version. I downloaded it and installed it and it created a new desktop icon for activating new product. 

    I launched the game, went through some of the new formations and vehicles which are amazing then decided to play second mission of raging Buffalo. I was prepared to defend the village with my armored infantry platoons but at some point the German attacked with at least half of them wearing American uniforms. I thought it was just a graphic bug but at some point one of my Shermans spotted an enemy tank while being not spotted back. The commander who had his head out started to do a weird dance out and in the tank like tens of times in a second and the Sherman didn't shoot. The animation wasn't the buttoning and unbuttoning up one, it looked more like a flashing out and in the vehicle. After a couple of seconds the panzer spotted my tank and destroyed it. 

    So is it that maybe I'm continuing playing something that I started in a previous version? 

    Or

    are there known bugs in this new version? 

    Or

    Did i do anything wrong when I upgraded it? I just launched it and it did all by itself but really often is not so simple to update combat mission games. 

    Or

    Why they say there is nothing to download but then give you a new big file with the name of the newest version? Probably there is something I didn't get. 

    Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help.
