ChrisPick Posted September 16, 1999 Share Posted September 16, 1999 Fionn, Thankfully not that long! We should see a 1 ghz processor from intel by the middle of next year, or sooner, and a 128MB graphics card is available now, just not very usefull! =) I am really looking forward to CM2!

Guest Big Time Software Posted September 16, 1999 Share Posted September 16, 1999 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>I'm feeling verklempt, talk amongst yourselves... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Buddy, I had just recovered from Brian's funny post, then you ended with this line I'm sure many of our international gamers won't get this, but it is truly a classic line As for the battlefield crud all over the place... yup. Battlefields were VERY messy places. Crap all over the place, from personal gear, to pieces of vehicles, to pieces of humans and animals. But each and every one of these things would require polygons and VRAM to depict. On the scale of system needs, this ranks way down there. Still, we will probably be able to add stuff like this in the future. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy Posted September 16, 1999 Share Posted September 16, 1999 Great! A lot of times I'll just post something that I think would be cool in the game - for historical accuracy, realism or just eye-candy! I concede that I have no idea what it takes to program something like this...I just thought that maybe, just maybe, once a vehicle has been destroyed then the engine would be able to access a static graphic of a totally fubar'd vehicle carcus. "For God sakes, Jim, I'm a graphic designer, not a combat sim programmer!" (Verklempt taken from a Saturday night live skit with Mike Myers playing some New Jersey talk show lady or something...)

Guest Big Time Software Posted September 18, 1999 Share Posted September 18, 1999 If he was, it was the wrong Army. If I have it right he would have been in the service of the Great Nation of Kiwi Keeping his nation safe for me until I get a chance to hit his beaches with the wife ("planned" 2001 vacation to NZ and AU I kid you not ) Steve [This message has been edited by Big Time Software (edited 09-18-99).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted September 18, 1999 Share Posted September 18, 1999 Sorry Chris but Steve is correct, Defending the beaches from the invading horde of holiday makers. It’s a dirty job but someone has to do it. Steve, Great to hear you are venturing down under for the Hols… Pres Clinton seemed to have enjoyed himself while he was here. You should drop me a line when you get closer to the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Rock Posted September 18, 1999 Share Posted September 18, 1999 Steve, you do realise that every New Zealander and Aussie on the list will want to meet you and buy you a beer? Partly it's because we're so hospitable in these parts. Mainly it's so we can heavily lobby you for our favourite things for the next generation of CM.

Ithai Posted September 18, 1999 Share Posted September 18, 1999 Chris you will see a gig processor from the g4 sooner than you will from intel and the g4 will have much more puch per gigahertz than you will from an intel chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetch Posted September 18, 1999 Share Posted September 18, 1999 Gentlemen, You can't fight in here! ... This is the WAR Room! Let's not start a platform war, please. Can't we all just kill each other like good little virtual warriors? Oh yeah, and the G4 IS pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Oberst2 Posted September 19, 1999 Share Posted September 19, 1999 Hey Ithai (hope I spelled it correctly), I was feeling pretty studly with my dual Celeron 400's under NT with the new Abit BP-6 motherboard. Then a guy at work one-ups me by doing the same upgrade motherboard, but dropping in dual Celeron 500's. Celerons use the same SMP capable core as the PII, although Intel plans to tweak the Celeron core, rendering it non-SMP, since dual Celeron machine setups were killing PII and PIII sales... For apps that make use of multi-processors, that is a killer machine. For multi-processors, all I'm hoping is that CM will use em if it sees em (hint hint).

Fionn Posted September 19, 1999 Share Posted September 19, 1999 Well, for picture 1 I'd simply laugh. There wasn't enough fuel on the Western Front to MOVE that many Tiger IIs in combat hehe. As for picture 2: Laugh and ask where are all the crew? Anyway those had such thin armour they weren't all that much of a threat. Nice guns but you could penetrate them comfortably. ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattias Posted September 20, 1999 Share Posted September 20, 1999 From what I have seen: Side armour of the Elefant was 80mm, roughly the same as on the Pz. VIE and VIB (plate thickness, not considering slope). Any other figures elsewhere? Rear armour? M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
