Game size outrageous in upgrade 4.0 ?
chuckdyke replied to Thore's topic in CM2 General Tech Support
It also contains the files of Fire and Rubble with the latest upgrade whether you purchased it or not. You don't need to download it you just purchase the Key for it. That is what makes it so big. -
"Balanced" Scenarios - H2H
chuckdyke replied to CanuckGamer's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Warfare is just as honest and as fair as a bullfight in Spain. Some people like a 3D chess game. Tactical problem two PAK75 vs 12 JS2 they will lose but say they knock 2 out whilst crossing a bridge disable the two PAK75's and the crew exit the map. To play German could be an enjoyable scenario. I wouldn't like to do it in real life. -
Pistols are better than rifles.
chuckdyke replied to semmes's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Here it is because enemy units are still in the vicinity which is often a trap. I liked the old system giving them orders and yes Nervous, Rattled, Shaking or Panicking units could shoot prisoners. Which is realistic but leave it to the TacAI. -

Easy to have a LOF when you're on top of a hill. Plenty of enemy units also have a LOF on you. -
"Balanced" Scenarios - H2H
chuckdyke replied to CanuckGamer's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
To have a 'Balanced' scenario you just need to have different parameters. -

chuckdyke replied to semmes's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
In a melee there is an advantage if you have a pistol. I think that is already reflected in the game. You can't fire at a full contact which has already surrendered. What should be reviewed is that you can't give them orders like we could in for example Beyond Overlord. -

So a quick question on this game and game engine
chuckdyke replied to Antmf's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Battle for Normandy, British Commonwealth and Market Garden. You should be able to upgrade to the latest version. @BFCElvis to be of assistance. -

A double action revolver is perfectly adequate for the home owner. Loaded and ready to go by just pulling the trigger. Semi Auto on the other hand a little more complicated if you suddenly wake up because of some noise. Lots of spouses get a little nervous with a cocked and loaded 1911 under the pillow. They are better if you need to carry one whilst on duty for example. In the Australian Service Match originally designed as a competition between the services the .38 special/ .357 magnum revolver reigned supreme. 9mm Auto's were just not competitive on the other hand in IPSC it was the semi auto which reigned supreme. You can never tell which is better than the other. -
Shock Force 2 Unofficial Screenshot And Video Thread
chuckdyke replied to Mord's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 2
Is this a bug or what? Four T62 tanks turn up and just sit there waiting to be shot. They didn't do a thing, Syrians the same just sit and they surrender after a couple of shots. Scenario Cain and Abel. It is a beautiful map probably better on Hotseat. -
Sometimes they bomb your own units happened to me. Independently planes spot moving armor or armor in the open. They are at times dangerous for your own units too.

You need to create events so that the enemy reacts and the planes can spot them. If you wait for them to bomb you could possibly wait for a long time.

Not worthy of anymore comments, cooks don't drive tanks or dig foxholes but they are still in the army. -
FORECAST SERIES: Putin’s Likely Course of Action in Ukraine

We need a reader of Cyrillic script, I think what is written on his shoulder epaulets of this military uniform by its appearance means KGB. I am kind of lost what fruit has to do with this. What else of your silly response Military is not army, air force, navy. You won't receive anymore answers I put you on my ignore list. -
I found it vital to establish proper communication early in the battle. The lack of radios is well known when you play Soviet. 'Mountains of the Moon Scenario' Difficulty Iron that means establish proper communication so that you get the tentative contacts where you require them. The Formation Tab is unlocked, in his formation the Tankodesaniki is his infantry formation. You go to their Company HQ just by clicking on it. I want this formation to get the intel received from the 4th and 5th Company consisting of Valentine Lend & Lease tanks. Valentines don't accept passengers in this scenario. His Company is connected by radio because he is mounted on the ISU152. This achieves horizontal communication for the ISU152 formation too. They share the intel from the Valentine formation received during their engagement. The Valetines have strong contacts during their battle with strong infantry support which is now shared with the ISU152mm formation whose HQ is off the map. ISU 152 is much more likely to be successful in his area fire mission. He has also 2 tank rider infantry on its engine deck which also help with spotting. They actually have full contact.
