As is the Jagdpanther my favorite TD
How could I disagree?
They can be found in CMBN 'TWC Sudden Fury' if you're looking for them.

I just noticed that the commander's shoulder is sticking out through the turret side
Yes, now you mention it the screenshot does look like that. However on loading up several saves, I see only a shadow from the open hatch slightly further back, but no shoulder. Odd.

The answer has already been given above. The designer forgot to include an FO for the Russians.
I don't think it has. My question was about MJ saying he never sets up calls in the setup phase.

you should be able to call in the set up phase, but I never do that
Sorry a bit late on this one, but this caught my eye as I sometimes feel rather inept on the artillery front. I also hardly ever call on setup, but I was thinking it was mainly forgetfulness on my part. Your comment seems to be more reasoned, so I imagine you wait to see what's going on before calling? An answer to that might be to call and then adjust, if you have the time to adjust?

After a few issues uploading a screenshot, here's one from F&R Prowlers (nice work, thanks @PanzerMike). With a little bit of added magic, thanks to @Lucky_Strike.

I don't really know what left. CMFB isn't up on steam yet, is it?
As far as I can see, as of today, only modern titles are on Steam, none of the WW2 titles are there.

Yep, my PzIIIGs also have the gap in front of the turret, rotating hull MG etc. They look okay if the turret is facing to the front, but when the turrets are rotated they're definitely not okay.

That is pretty spectacular, LS. You trully are an artist and we're very lucky having you on board.
Totally agree, lovely work. @Lucky_Strike you do realise that after RT you will need to look at FI and FB
?

Loving the fine detail in this, you guys are so good! I'm not even sure what a custom breadbag is

Weirdness ...
Silly question, not related to your issue. Is that stock 'grass' or has it been touched by your magic? It looks good but I realise it's not in Normandy...
If it is stock, I need to get down to ground level more often in RT.

I'm still very interested in this project.
Me too, availale for more testing if it helps (okay, maybe I should just wait
).

I'm exclusively WW2 titles so I can't comment on the modern stuff (but then you already have most of that, except perhaps SF2?).
Order of my purchases versus how much I have played them so far (bearing in mind I only started just over a year ago though):
- RT bought 1st, played 2nd-most (now including FR of course)
- BN bundle bought 2nd, played 1st-most
- FI bundle bought 3rd, played least but no good reason for this
- FB bought last played 3rd-most
You have RT/FR, so if I was you (which I'm not of course, preferences vary
) - I would go for BN next, then FB, then FI. However, in terms of amount of content, you may prefer to go BN, FI and FB. I say this because BN has the most content and covers everything you described, FI has a lot and its very varied, and FB has the least (but I like it).
If, like me, you will end up with them all, then it's just a matter of finding enough time to play them all - I never have enough time to give justice to all of them.

but still in the bottom right hand corner is v4.00.
Am I running v4.03?
Mine shows 4.03 in the bottom right corner, so it seems your attempt to patch hasn't worked. I'm not sure about the activation key - IIRC I had a 'CMBN Big Bundle' key not separate ones. Otherwise I assume everything is pointed at or in the correct folders?
If the problem persists @BFCElvis will sort you out I'm sure - he's very good

Lucky!!! Next time I'm in the UK I'm going to time it with one of those events in which they drive a bunch of different tanks around a circle. My wife would love to go to one (or avoid it completely)
Let me know and I'll meet you there my friend

a pair of Tank Museum socks
Lovely. I was at the Tank Museum a couple of weeks ago, always a huge pleasure. I did however forget to buy socks

The plethora of tanks in CM2 must be very confusing for anyone who hasn't been playing variations of CM for the last couple of decades.
Some people might have prior knowledge of tanks or might have been playing other games
. Whatever the background I would say CM2 is by far the best game of this type that I've found.

I tend to buy odd vehicles assigned inside a formation (which you have to have). Is that what you mean?

3 King Tigers cost 1259
4 Tigers cost 1454
I'd probably select one of these options if the map suits. Although In a QB I tend to select a mixture rather than 'x * type'.

There's a lot of content for sure, particularly for BN. I grab everything without hesitation

You could also check this out, if you haven't already:

Great work by @IanL
. A lot of the download links are Kaput, but the info is good.

I think I got them at @Bootie's fine site here:
I'm sure you've been there already, but well worth a look if you haven't.
EDIT (afterthought) - I think the ones I mentioned will all work with just the base game, but I did have the bundle at the time.

I only have CMBN
If you wish to try scenarios as well as campaigns and you're happy with those that are on the larger side, can I suggest both of the Wittmann scenarios in BN? They're both excellent and both by @George MC. Another great one which is also a lot smaller is Barkmann's Corner Revisited by @GhostRider3/3. To be honest I don't remember if I played the original Barkmann's Corner, my bad.
There are of course lots of other great scenarios, they're just the ones I had a lot of fun with when I started.
-
I like the sound of this
.
@kohlenklau is the scenario you mentioned a new one, or one I've tried? I'd like to try a new one if you have one, although I realise I didn't (couldn't) help on the dropbox question

I'm a bit late on this discussion but it reminds me of the thread I posted about a CMFB quick battle where the AI selected 9 or 10 Sherman Flails and one or two infantry units. The flails advanced with their turrets facing backwards. My Jagdtiger, Jagdpanther and accompanying friends had an unsurprisingly easy time of it. While I had fun, I suppose I felt that my careful setup and movement was a waste of time, even though the map was very good.
Other QB experiences have been better, and in fact some have been memorable for good reasons...
