Aragorn2002 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Did anyone notice those buildings behind that Brümmbär? Looks like a monastry or a large factory. Are those new buildings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed them too. Look a lot like Cassino, don´t they? I think they are just modular buildings used creatively, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It's the standard CMFI buildings. The location behind them is the eastern end of Valmontone (pre-battle damage), one of the locations of the American campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they do. As much as I like new vehicles I hope an equal amount of time, talent and energy will be invested in new buildings for all modules. Pity these aren't new, but they look great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

womble Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 screenshot 11 and 12 11 squad moves in line/wedge formation 12 squad moves in file formation I fear that's just happenstance. Modules don't have new gameplay features. So unless the alpha build is also an alpha of v3, it's just the way the squad/team has been massaged by the terrain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love formations to be in version 3 of the engine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus86 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 is nowhere mentioned. I remember pictures, showing german paratroopers equipped with this gun, during the battle for monte casino. Was the rifle produced in too small numbers, to be featured in the game? I know, it's not that important, I'm just curious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordhedgwich Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 ^^ i would also like to know this. Although there were only 2000 something made i would also like to see it appear =D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Id really like to see it as well but I dont think its in for the Gustav mod. They listed everything thats new, including small arms, and its not on the list. I would like to see it, with perhaps a tank muzzle blast image, in the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 No plans for the FJ 42 in Gustav Line right now. At this time period it was super rare on the front lines in Italy, if present at all. (Read: The front lines, not pictures of occupation units north of the battles or the Gran Sasso raid ) Now, Market Garden is another matter... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juri_JS Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I had hoped to see German Gebirgsjäger in the Gustav Line module. Does anyone know if they are planed for a later pack? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword56 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I had hoped to see German Gebirgsjäger in the Gustav Line module. Does anyone know if they are planed for a later pack? They'd make a nice pairing with US 10th Mountain Division troops -- although I don't know if the mountain infantry regiments had any particular TO&E or kit that wouldn't already be in the game by that point. Does anyone know? The fact that their battles came in 1945 might require some additions/changes, I suppose. (of course they had skis, but they didn't use them in Italy and I'm sure CMFI doesn't plan to simulate skiing.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Hunter Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Fallschirmjäger in the ruins of cassino. I'm not sure about this picture. It may have been taken anywhere. It's definitely propaganda. Examine it closer. Who rests and fires his rifle/gun on a box full of handgrenades during normal engagement where the opposite side may shoot back? I sure wouldn't even like to be in the same house as this guy.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ts4EVER Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Of course it is a propaganda picture, but that doesn't mean it wasn't taken in Cassino. Considering the other weapons lying around it might even have been taken in some kind of ammo/material dump. However, it genuinely looks like the building they are in is destroyed and the equipment of the paratrooper fits for Italy. It's also clearly not a part of this series from the Gran Sasso raid: Or this one from Normandy: Now generally speaking, inclusion of an infantry weapon like this does not make a big difference gameplay wise, especially since it would be very rare. On the other hand, tons of different tank production runs are included, even if the difference between them is negligible. I think it would be nice to have some more obscure infantry weapons, just to mix things up and add detail. One of the great things about cm2 is that it simulates single soldiers and their equipment, so why not introduce some more randomization where applicable? The Italians could have the Carcano carbine, the Germans could have the occasional G41 in Sicily to add a semi automatic rifle to the mix or maybe a captured Beretta. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 What is that weapon propped up in the right hand corner of the pic? It looks a little like an MP40 to me, but not quite. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
