I guess he's talking about this one (from the official CM discord):

It is better to download the full installer from your user account (in orders).

I won't criticize the lack of diversity through the various titles that comprise Combat Mission. I talked in another thread how the historical nature of what they are portraying ties the devs hands to a degree. And I like the Combat Mission formula from a battle perspective. It really is a delight on the battlefield. WEGO's brilliant.
But until Battlefront commits to a campaign overhaul and gives us something akin to an operational and tactical level hybrid campaign system and campaign generator I doubt I'll drop any more cash on it. Like most here I've spent a lot of money on it, and I don't complain. I'm willing to pay for stuff I think is worth it, and Combat Mission has been worth it.
But I'm at the stage now where I have a bunch of titles and they give me the base CM experience and I am no longer tempted by the newer releases. SF2 is my most recent. I have zero expectation that I'll ever see the sort of campaign system I think the wonderful tactical engine deserves, and that's fine. But that's what would bring me back to purchasing CM products I think. Never say never, but I no longer desire to see new units, maps or modules as they are. I want a new campaign system. Simple as.

Hello gamers and mainly devs.
 
Me, as a youngling to the Combat mission, I'd request developers to add something new other than skin, maps, language and guns. It needs something different! The game is 90% same across all games. If I imported all the models and skins from Combat Mission Shock Force 2 to Combat Mission cold war, the game would probably run it as nothing. And with it, it has the same issues. CQB is nightmare in reality too, but in Combat Mission, it's especially bad. If you have like 1 unit and need to perform CQB. Absolutely impossible. And the "Hunt" command is pretty useless as if they are in Hunt command, they start walking at slow pace and when see someone/something, they stop and will disable all following commands. Can't you guys make it that troops will HOLD for the amount of time they keep seeing the enemy or the enemy is neutralized? That would make CQB soooo much more easier and life would be good.

I've spoken to my friends and this is general feedback I get why they won't ever buy Combat Mission game:
 
Literally every game is same - That is in my opinion very true. It doesn't mean it'd be bad. But the same issue Combat Mission Afghanistan has, it's also in Combat mission Cold war.  Graphics - Irrelavant argument for me but it's also why a lot of players turn down. Especially the edges of the map, the sky Only 1v1 multiplayer with ancient connection system, no coop, no more players than 1v1 scenario. - In my opinion, very good argument. Combat mission is only 1v1 and without coop regime. This needs to be changed in the future (or would be amazing if was changed right now). Price tag too high - Well. If we take in account that all the games are basically same. A skillful modder would probably make Shock Force 2, Cold war or Black Water out of Combat mission afghanistan. It's very high.  Planes/Helis are not part of the game. - We can get in argument that planes / helis fire from kilometers away and are irrelavant for the game, but I think it would certainly be healthy to add visual planes flying above, even if very far away. And when planes crash, you can see it too. The DLC fest. (Mostly Combat Mission Shock Force 2). - For the game where you charge 60€ for a same mechanical features as in every previous game. It's absolutely crazy to charge 20€ for a basically a nation bundle.   
The arguments I expect under this thread:
The price tag is that high because of: Small audience, simulation, bluh bluh bluh.... That is an interesting point, but is irrelavant. The game should be worth its money, which I'm afraid most of the games don't meet. The game is not same because in game XY, they moved 0.3km/h slower and fired 0,8 meters further. Please.... Just don't... Don't consider this thread as a hate. It's more like objectively true. I really love the concept of Combat mission series and I'd love them to continue. But the work / content / features is very much not meet with the price tag.
Also PLEASE guys, create your own discord. Don't be like your MP lobbies stuck in 80's/90's. 


Thank you for reading to this point.

For correct modelling of new toys there is need to have correct information about their features - armor, engines, sights, etc. There is too few info in open sources

I gotta say I hate drones.

Shock Force 2 (2018)

Half Life (1998)

UPDATE
It seems like it works again with version 21.12.1!

The tail section continues forward thanks to its momentum; the same thing happens with ATGMs, after a hit the tail section leaves an impression on the armor that is visible to the naked eye.

They don't need warheads or sophisticated control systems really, a few hundred MiG.19 drones on auto-pilot, with several dozen J-16s & J-16Ds mixed in, would be the end of Taiwan's overt air-defence capabilities.

Nope wrong again!

It's the BMD-4 and BMD-4M that have the twin cannon arrangement.
The video starts with a BMD-3 then shows wht looks like a BTR-D being loaded onto the aircraft, before showing either a BMD-1 or BMD-2 being dropped out of another aircraft, finally returning a BMD-3 for the landing. 

They will reload if they don't have another target currently in view.  Has always been thus for multi-tube ATGM vehicles.

As far as I understand, no. 
The only difference in spotting is the amount of information available on spotted unit, e.g. on basic training you will immediately get all the info on the tank model, applied damage etc. 
Besides, all the advantages you get are also provided for AI. So if you get shorter arrillery call times, AI gets them as well, making your life really miserable. 
 

Oh you're kidding @Zeb II. That is concerning.

are these on steam also?

Yes, Russia wanted to avoid war so they decided to forcefully occupy parts of Ukraine, as part of a peaceful demonstration against war.

According to Bloomberg, they have about 100 btg on the border to ukraine. And have called in large number of reservists.

If you do it regularly, and nothing happens, it soon Will be the new normal. And thats when it Will happen!

So you convinced me to finally try "Three Body Problem". The writing is unbelievably good, but the first quarter of the first book is just a crushingly unpleasant story...

For anyone wondering in the case of Black Sea patch 2.16, it took them 32 days (after it was released here) to push the update on Steam.
So you can expect patch 1.03 sometimes in December. Maybe Christmas?
