Vacillator got a reaction from Centurian52 in PBEM ++ Guide?
I'm sorry my friend, I feel I'm partly to blame for this 🫣. Anyway, yes we're close to kicking off...

Of course this means that I now have five ongoing PBEMs (or at least I will @Vacillator once our game finally gets going). I really shouldn't accept any more until I start finishing some 😂.

From the turret of my T-64, they both look like targets to me!

You're talking about me now aren't you 😉? We need a slight adjustment to our game and then it'll be plain sailing I'm sure.
That would not be an issue, anyone can beat anyone (at least when I'm involved). What might be troublesome for me is that I'm yet to play either CW or BS. Both of us are somewhat busy just now anyway but I'd be happy to oblige at some point once I can at least tell my RISEs from my non-RISEs (ooh err missus).

I've never used CM Helper but Whose Turn Is It handles moving the files to/from the appropriate CM folders. I found setting Whose Turn up a little confusing but once a game is underway it worked pretty smoothly.

Vacillator got a reaction from AdamPraha in The anti-tank gun and its observer.
I thought so as well.Â
Hiding is not normally a good thing if you want a unit to spot (and communicate that). I learned the lesson when I hid everyone and T34s rolled straight past my troops with PFs, no shots at all were taken at perhaps 10m range.

Vacillator got a reaction from A Canadian Cat in How to disable building transparency ?
Possibly. If it could be 'togglable' that keeps every bugger happy 😉.
Charles may have other things to think about though...

Vacillator reacted to weapon2010 in German Recoilless LG40 Gun 75mm
yes that seems to be an outlier ...500m ....heat rounds are best .......300-400m for ap rounds 200m being optimal kill range for ap , I did some small test samples , its essentially a shrek on steroids

Vacillator reacted to Centurian52 in How to disable building transparency ?
I don't think there's any way to disable it right now. We could request to make building transparency togglable as a new feature in a future update, the way trees are currently togglable. But there's no guarantee that it would be feasible (every new bit of code risks conflicts with old code, potentially introducing new bugs), or that they would find time to do it even if it is feasible (they have limited resources and lots of other things they are also trying to do).

Adam, your question rate is impressive 😉.
I know what you mean, but I think it's intended to quickly show you that your units are in the building, or that enemy units (or part of) have been spotted in those buildings. I occasionally find it unrealistic, but I don't have a suggestion on how to improve it. Do you?

Vacillator reacted to Haiduk in How Hot is Ukraine Gonna Get?
This is very simplified describing of this system ) I wrote several months ago about this. The system is not completed yet to be set around all country and cover all directions. Developers told they spent many time to teach AI to identify a sound of missile or drone among other sounds to avoid false alarms.Â

Il fascisti. Yes it's true, I can't speak Italian.Â
While in Rome and its more modern suburbs, I found some Mussolini buildings which were quiet bombastic, like this:
As a building, I don't mind it. And I kinda like that it hasn't been erased.
And now I'll shut up as I'm obviously not condoning the Mussolini regime 😱.

Vacillator got a reaction from Freyberg in off road / Tanks belong on the roads. Seelow Heights
My experience of empty roads is that if your movement orders allow time between vehicles such that they don't bunch up, and are also short enough to follow the road turn by turn, then you can get it work. If one vehicle gets held up, it might go off road or cause others to go off road.Â
Micro-management - yes. Part of the game - yes. Has BFC tried to introduce 'convoy orders' before - yes. Did they work flawlessly - no. Is it being looked at again - yes.
Did I mention I quite like micro-management 😉?

Vacillator reacted to S-Tank in S-Tank's SU-76M
This pack includes new textures for the default version of the SU-76 and the various mod tags, ie [snow], [whitewash snow], [germany] and [berlin]. Each set comes with a fair amount of variant textures to avoid clone army syndrome.

Vacillator got a reaction from cbennett88 in The Buffalo Soldiers' Ordeal [all modules needed]
You could try the first 'pre-mission' for a fun artillery experience 😉.Â
Given how bad I seem to be with off-board artillery (and it isn't just me who says that, @cbennett88 you know who I'm referring to 🤔) I think I did surprisingly well at this.

Erm, I'm not sure if I helped but I hope so 🤞.

I like them too, but I took out 5 of 5 of them in Pershings versus Tigers as PBEM, while my Chaffees survived a little better (2 out of 5 were still okay). Maybe not the best situation for them.Â
Pershings (and Shermans) won the day anyway.

Vacillator reacted to Warts 'n' all in Latest Usually Hapless Video (Scotish Corridor 10)
Funny you should say that, a mate of mine had a Milk Snatcher toilet roll holder. The paper came out of her mouth. I wish they still made them.

Vacillator reacted to Erwin in off road / Tanks belong on the roads. Seelow Heights
Roads tend to allow two vehicles side by side. In addition to giving a 5 sec pause for the following vehicle, try putting one on the RHS of the road and the 2nd on the LHS, and stagger any additional vehicles that are following. Of course the issue is that additional pauses are not every 5 seconds but increase exponentially to 45 seconds. Â
So, in addition to increased PAUSES, the other technique I use is to have following vehicles drive at a slower speed at least until the first waypoint. So, if the first Vehicle moves FAST, later vehicles could move QUICK, then HUNT etc. Â

LOL JM, good one. I like a bit of Kenneth Williams as we've veered down the comedy direction. I won't say which bit though matron.

Vacillator got a reaction from 'Sapper' in Anti-Tank Gun shoots magic AP shell that fly 30 degree off the gun barrel.
That's some pretty fancy shooting though, even if the animation looks bizarre.
