The Emcha was with them until the end:
And then there's all the trucks!
We were talking about the Valentine. I don't think it would be quite valid on the frontline during the module's timeframe. I'm pretty giddy for the Emchas, though.
Anyway, that was a pretty nice hint, Elvis!

* Small fix for Valentine turret
Wait, there's no Valentine in the modules we currently have.
Is that for Rome to Victory?
Also, thank you for the changes to the SVT's availability. Soviet junior officers in most formations still use the regular grunt model, though.
EDIT: Uh oh, looking closer the SVT has no magazine in the idle and firing animations.

Yeah, but wasn't that the Russians?
It sounds like a fairly Russian idea TBH.
Russians have massive pre-scheduled HE. Americans can sit in a ditch and bring HE down any time they want. Germans just pretend they're stronger than the others because they barely have available artillery that's heavier than an 81mm mortar most of the time.
And either way, if you're in a tank, no matter the nationality, you will always be glad to put another HE round into the target. And another. And another.

You have no idea how close you came to being wrong about this.
Haha, thumbs up dude!

can somone answer this guy?
These are GI's in M43's (late war then) walking next to a knocked out late Pz IV (either H or J) painted in a typical Italian theater camouflage pattern, in an Italian (probably Northern Italian) scenery. Pretty relevant imo.
You can still see that the rifle pouches are misaligned with the belt texture on the M43, which is a problem on the paratrooper's M42's as well, to add up on that. The belt is too high and the pouches are too low.

I'm still not comfortable throwing out a date or month though.
Well, at least we're sure it won't be this one.

Ah, scenes like this. It's what the MG42 was made for.
Maybe add some mortars on top of that.

Oh, right, I remember that. I said I got scammed out of 500 € in that thread, however it happened shortly after I bought my first two CM games, but also after buying some Steam games (I'm a regular patron).
Really, if you get scammed like that, you can only guess why it happened in the first place. Now, back on topic.

What's the story, gramps?

those extremely gamey tactics your refering to still can be used with "live" tanks.
Well, as said earlier the AI is not programmed to, or in other words is too stupid to counter those.

I see you retextured it. Shouldn't be harder than putting a bit of white pencil on the skins, really.

What do you mean? What happened?

LOL yeah umm to actually develop that would take more time than the patch and likely still be wrong. Sure Charles could stop what he is doing to try and create that, but the net result would likely be that everything grinds to a halt and there is no progress. I don't think you fully understand the variable complexity of the ToE and how much is actually being researched as the modules are built. You can't build regression testing if you don't have the data yet as to what you would test. The assumption that there is an agreed upon ToE database for all these forces covering the war is a 50 ton fly in your ointment.
I frankly have no idea how they even keep this stuff straight, certain individuals must have massive libraries and near eidetic memory to recall it all.
The best time to do that kind of thing is at the start of a project. It's a bit too late for that now, yeah.
8 hours ago, Ivan Zaitzev said:Why didn't you hand down the TO&E with timeframe as it should be in a PDF and have the testers check against that? Someone must be using a master at some point, I can't believe you are creating the formations as you go.
How often was stuff like Git used just before 2010? Because I figure it would have helped a lot. How much has BF changed its working methods after the OG CM's?

Don't expect Flak to be that effective, especially with just two guns.

Lies, he would have done it all with a 1911!

Basically false advertising, damn you Battlefront!

Maybe you would after having consumed a bottle of schnapps and carrying a Panzerfaust.

It doesn't really make much of a difference.

Yeah, it's a fairly common camo -- at least, in the West. I'm guessing it would be what the Allies would be seeing in France, circa 1944. Or a variant of such:
"Ausf.H of the IInd Panzerdivision, France, June 1944." -- Tank Encyclopedia.
This camouflage is applied in a pretty regular way on this picture. The one at Saumur and in @Sgt.Squarehead's post looked a bit more creatively applied.

What do you think is wrong with it?
That scheme's pretty well known and documented.....Here's a period image of a tank from the same company:
I'd say they did a pretty fine job (forgot to idiot-proof their schurzen though).
Wow. I actually have never seen that exact paint job, or at least the fact that it's in black and white left less of an impression if I actually did see it before.
-
The paint-job is a little... artistic. But it's in a very good state, and it's beautiful.
What caught my eye as well is that Sherman with markings from the 741th Tank Battalion. You know, those guys who assist you through quite a lot of CMBN campaigns and scenarios?

Hey, I did not know that. Thanks.
