  1. Combat mission is moving towards H&H only with a better internet play.
  2. OK @Ultradave knows it better than a West Point Lecturer. I rest my case.
  3. Only one I am aware of. It is just the tutorial mission I think.
  4. I dismount one terrain feature away. Yes, I always grab the Javelin. The thermal sights are even useful after you fire the missile. Also you can use it as a precision munition but it is an expensive one. But if it saves a highly trained specialist, it is worth it.
  5. True mortars are a different category. I listen to the guys who do this for a living. Mortars don't use the Fire Direction Centre. We have as model the US, Russia or China doesn't share much information on You Tube.
  6. Smoke once you breach the minefield. You can see right through the smoke with your thermals.
  7. Panzerschreck in action. At least he got out of it alive.
  8. Apart from mortars they should not control any. If they do The FO should be in direct contact with his Company HQ and use a landmark as a reference point.
  9. I think somebody had a way around this and select individual vehicles as reinforcements.
  10. Reverse pause for 5 seconds reverse pause for 5 seconds. Then my Hotseat battle stopped for some reason.
  11. Just the person I want to see how many hits are required to knock out a Panzer IV with a 75 mm Sherman from four hundred meters. So far four penetrations.
  12. I always suspect the complaints by people who plot manually their LOF. I started to enjoy the games a lot more by following the manual and leaving it to the TacAI to deal with full contacts. Play experiment and develop some SOPs. Marksmanship, give a new shooter a .22 LR Pistol and see how he goes from 25 meters at a bullseye target. Some of the shots won't even make it to the paper. Three months later he is average keeps most of his shots in the 8-ring. When he started it was stress and by looking at the target instead of looking at his sights. The same reason he misses RL stress and looking at the target.

  14. Alcyoneus: they better read Greek mythology. Heracles had to drag Alcyoneus out of his country to beat him. Countries worth their name are like that. If they go abroad, they very often meet Alcyoneus and will lose their limited wars. It happened in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush senior had more brains than Bush junior.
  15. So far he has made $3 Billion of increased oil revenue. Not a bad payday for a month's work.
  16. You need to make sure all the files are gone; reinstalling will just repeat your frustrations.
  17. Clean everything and start from scratch. Download from the BF Website you have some downloads left.
  18. Motivation of Putin is a little like Viagra, the original prescription was for angina. Nowadays it is sold for a well-known side effect. Same with his policies, it has caused an increase in the price of oil. So far, he has made an extra $3 Billion US this year. Not bad for a little sabre rattling.

  19. Diehard Mark IV took five penetrations from a 75 mm Sherman. I recall another battle that the M8 Greyhound was far more effective. But then I played a German. The AI trigger says attack it will keep on attacking. It is a spoiler, just give them enough rope. No spotting problems tentative contact and an armor cover arc ensured the first hit. Range was less than 400 meters.
  20. Spotting goes for you and against you. The M4 Sherman buttoned up spotted the German open halftrack which remained unaware facing in the right direction. The AI didn't come up with an evasive action or was it the lack of a 'trigger'?
  21. Who is writing the scripts for the animations? Something for physics class pressure comes out of their nose and ears.
