C2 & Information Sharing (REDUX)
chuckdyke replied to MOS:96B2P's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
C2 for example playing Russian each HQ can access mortars and this mechanic can be used to simulate field telephone, flares or signal torches. We use it as a house rule once the receiving phase ends and he can adjust the regimental HQ can send a company of SU152's for example. The fire mission can be canceled anytime if the FO needs the assets. Jeeps and Kübelwagens are effective for information sharing. I like Zündapp motorcycles with a mounted MG42 on the sidecar. Nice project for a modder? -
Go to camera position 1 and you will see that the MG42 for example is reloaded in a totally realistic manner. MP44 vs the Sten. The bullet of the MP 44 is more powerful and has a more messy wound channel. Being hit by a 9mm is not a pleasant experience either but a surgeon will be more successful possibly. No discernable difference could very well be right.

At least there is something I can agree with @LukeFF. One more 'like' to you.

Panzer grenadiers and Soviet tank riders (Tank Desant). Tactics is simple and effective they go where the artillery shells drop. Who needs a radio?

Sherman tanks debut with Red Army at Kursk
chuckdyke replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
In the game the Shermans can shoot smoke which is a definite plus compared with the T34's. Instead of trying to eliminate the enemy unit to make it temporarily irrelevant by obscuration is at times a good alternative. Also I read somewhere once that WP was used to light up an enemy unit in combination with HE. I don't know or it is true or not anyway it is not modelled in the game. -
By clicking the plus (+) key you will open a unit in this case The Regimental HQ. Under the three flags you see the troops under his command. I click to select the 1st Company. As the Russian HQ don't have a radio the SU 76 is the communication channel as they are the support. I select the 1st platoon. You see here the blue hq button you need to click this to unlock his units. In this case I select the team. Also when you split units they also show up here. In five clicks you can find any unit. By selecting any unit you can find any hq unit on the bottom left corner.

Hunt/Move Command and Taking Fire
chuckdyke replied to Simcoe's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Exactly and they use the wrong units to do it. Use a unit with a minus and veterans are better spotters than regulars. I watch YouTube videos and they use as in real life Elite with +2 for recon units. Elite in CM don't have an IQ with 100 + AI at best is an percentage point of 0.01% -

Spotting from vehicles 'Usually Hapless' came up with this gem on YouTube. -
I am just wondering...
chuckdyke replied to OnWargaming's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Like smoking at night to steady the nerves? You can see that from miles away. -
Tanks of Iran - Wikipedia They mostly broke down, the Chieftains Iraq used were captured ones. The T72's they later purchased were more reliable. Armor and a powerful gun only is not enough you need reliable mobility.

CM diversity update from UK MOD
chuckdyke replied to Placebo's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Something for the modders. -
You didn't let us see what happened. The unit was not selected and we can't see the stress levels. The unit which jumped over the wall got hit. Possibly the stress level went up to rattled or even panic understandably they seek cover.

Thank you for this tip. I will use Affinity Photo which is very similar to Photoshop. -

Wonder why @Freyberg didn't come up with this one. They like to play rugby union too. -
Operation Barbarossa Ever Winnable?

I can be overcome with some house rules, I agree with what you are saying, scout discovers a foxhole and simsalabim the map is automatically updated. -

Kenau Heroine of Haarlem (Dutch 80 Year War). The painter was definitely not sexist. There were women in the armed services for eons.
