Hope not, patrolling and assaulting the house of a single gunman would be quite boring in CM terms. Mission: have a Task Unit to search a building where they find some items of interest, then comes the EOD to render safe, then some exploitation team... Yeah, boring.

British would be an obvious choice, since they have that in the professional edition.

No, it is not a new system at all, it is only new to those who never looked outside the CM bubble. It is called PBEM++ (with 2 plusses), but Elvis wrote it with 3, so the question was if this already existing PBEM system going to change and get a third plus sign in its name to reflect that, or if it was only a typo from him.

This is on Iron difficulty...

Knocked out Panthers.

The spotting depends on the vision slits, which can differ for each side of the vehicle (so asymmetrical). For example the BMP-2 with the driver and gunner alone (infantry dismounted) is basically blind directly to the right side of the vehicle because neither the driver, nor the gunner has a vision block looking on that side. So for some vehicles spotting is not the same for left and right sides of it. Hence the test should use a full circle, not just a half.

I didn't save, but both Bradlyes were knocked out. From the second the crew bailed.

One grenade from an RPG destroying 2 Bradleys:

It was. But will there be a CM game before 2022?

I never understood this thinking. In my opinion a medium caliber machine gun can never become an HMG for that simple reason: it fires much less capable rounds. What makes an HMG an HMG is the stronger ammo with which you can tear down walls, shoot farther, defeat thinner armor and so on. With 7.92 you will never achieve that.

Let me guess: you have an AMD graphics card.

You can call Papa Stalin to tell him about your day.

I believed the same but then I found a post from Steve: "there is a bonus for spotting things within an Arc" Also: "The spotting bonus is only within the colored area of the arc. Outside of that there's no bonus." Links:

Yeah just as I thought so, the first to bring up SB as evidence would be also the first to dismiss it if it suited him.

Why would be this outside the scope?

I remember reading this but don't know where, can anybody point me to that thread? (where this YT video was linked)

Nope, also the text in the unit boxes on the bottom of the screen while in battle and it is very very hard to read what kind of ammo and how much he has of that type.

I think I misunderstood a previous statement and there is a spotting bonus inside the colored zone.

They already stated that cover arcs do not change spotting in any way except it makes the unit face in a certain direction. In other words if you give a facing order you achieve the same thing.

This is because the game uses an Intel GPU. If thats the only graphics card you have, then you are fokked, as theres no way to correct it, it has been a known issue.

Damn.

Ah another surprise never mentioned in the manual.

Obviously is not completely random, but has a random element which is quite easy to prove.
