    It's not only the Porsche version. Both turret versions are still missing.

    In september 44 I've got access to the kingtiger which is the henschel version.

    Possibly the only way get the German player not to to pick one in every bloody battle.....Call me cynical if you will.  ;)

    Well... I always pick what the AI will play with to make sure they have a coherent force. 

    As for players... I guess you could talk and come to an agreement before 😛

     Would need a slightly bigger hole in the ground for that as well 💣💥🕳️

    Yes, I thought even 2 * 500 lbs sounds like a bit of a load.  Perhaps BFC can introduce the Lancaster to the game for those situations where you just need to level a bridge or perhaps a sink a battleship.  Sorry I'm getting carried away now  😉 .

     

    With that you would probably level the entire map 😅

    Anyway I'm not sure at all you'd see a lancaster in a battle, typically heavy bombers lack the flexibility to operate at a tactical level, which is reserved to the more nimble and faster airplanes like light bombers or fighters.

    Using Editor to do a simple qb like scenario

    You need to check the dates you've selected in your QB (or something).

    I've got CMBN with Commonwealth Forces & Market Garden, and I've definitely had King Tigers in QBs :)

    I already checked and the kingtigers that you are seeing must be the kingtigers with the henschel turret rather than the porsche turret, you can tell the difference cause the later is identified as Kingtiger (porsche).

    And you should have access to it in july and august.

    Using Editor to do a simple qb like scenario

    in Combat Mission - General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello !

    I've been working (struggling) with the editor for a few hours and I'm quite stuck now. 

    Generally I'm playing CMs only with qb because... well I just like it a lot. However I acquired CM normandy some days ago and found that the Konigstiger(P) was not available in qb (yes the disappointment was unbearable 🙂), I looked on the forums to see if we could modify a file to change the qb unit list (which would be super neat btw) , if there's a mod to fix this but nope the only way seems to be the editor.

     

    I didn't want to create a map or an advanced scenario but rather to "mimic" a qb as I read it was possible.

    So I loaded a qb map, saw that there were setup zones for an allied attack and a german defense, that there was one terrain objective and no casulaties objective (which I messed around a bit but I'm not sure if I did good there). I then "purchased" both sides forces like I usually do and I put one platoon in group A1, the other in A2 and so on not really knowing if it was something to do.

    I launched my test "scenario", I deployed my forces as the defender and waited for the US to attack and this is where things went quite wrong; I was affraid that the AI wouldn't do anything so I was relieved to see some movement, except that the AI attacked my right flank with all the armor that I had given to it, well I wasn't sure if it was a problem or not since it could be a valuable tactic but in fine I destroyed them all and they gave back enough destruction to make it enjoyable.

    However no sign of the infantry except two squads that didn't go far on my left flank, I passed quite a lot of time and... nothing. Made the cease fire and saw that the AI had more than 250 men up and ready, reviewed the map and so all the squads comfy in their halftracked completely still on the edge of the map.

    Does anyone know what I did wrong ? Or if it's possible to do a simple qb like scenario without having to spend a week on Ai and testing since I want the AI to do it's own things rather than to tell it to do this then that and so on ?

     

    Thank you for reading !

    Black sea or shock force 2

    in Combat Mission Black Sea

    Posted · Edited by Eicio

    Thank you all for your answers ! 

    Unexpected expanses made my choice much simpler, it is going to be CMSF2 alone and on sale.

    BLACK SEA!!!! It's compatible with every game's maps except Afghanistan and Shock Force 1/2. Every time you buy a new game, you can convert the maps over to (And from) Black Sea. Also Black Sea feels the best of all the CMs (To me). Shock Force feels like slo-mo in comparison

    To be fair I quite like low intensity fights and I play my combat missions games on quick battles with medium points because I really enjoy when every unit/vehicle counts.

    I for sure will buy Black sea in the future, like the CMSF2 modules but for now it will be the base game.

    Hello everyone.

    I know that this question has already been posted a few years ago but since I cannot buy the full CMSF2 bundle but just the base game with maybe one expansion I was wondering if I should get black sea instead.

    I'm really interested in both game, perhaps a little bit more in CMFS2 but I don't know if I should wait until I can get the "whole experience" or go for it and buy the rest later. So I would like to know your thoughts about it, thank you.
