ChrisND Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hey guys, if you check the front page, the Red Thunder manual is up, if you want to read it while you wait for game release. Chris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yep and found a typo: the 'M1985 Nagant Revolver'. Maybe that came from the Black Sea game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yep and found a typo: the 'M1985 Nagant Revolver'. Maybe that came from the Black Sea game. Actually it was in a package that came through a time machine. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Belenko Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The link at the bottom is incorrect it says "Click Here to Read or Save PDF" It should say "Click here to slow your computer into oblivion because 14,379 other refresh monkeys just clicked the same link." Any way the link is blocked at my work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Just checked the new manual out. It looks really good and seems much improved, IMO. Thanks Edit: But the chapter on the editor seems to be missing? I´d hoped to read a bit about the triggers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collingwood Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I predicted April 3rd at 22.00gmt..I wonder Then again, A second manual, not included in the web preview, covers all the new features of the v3.0 Game Engine Upgrade that is part of Combat Mission Red Thunder perhaps we will get the second manual in about a week, then the game will come out another week later 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´d hoped to read a bit about the triggers. This is the supplemental manual specific to Red Thunder content. There will also be a new "3.0 Engine" manual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davek555 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks for posting the manual Chris. I noticed after a quick glance at the first few pages that it says the game will be expanded with modules and packs up to the Battle of Berlin. Does this mean the Eastern Front will be covered with modules instead of new games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thank you for posting the Manual. However, the 2 pages per viewing page is extremely hard to read on a tablet or small laptop computer. Will you please consider reformatting the Manual so that it is 1 to 1? Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ts4EVER Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 You also forgot the MP44 in the German weapon section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holman Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks for posting the manual Chris. I noticed after a quick glance at the first few pages that it says the game will be expanded with modules and packs up to the Battle of Berlin. Does this mean the Eastern Front will be covered with modules instead of new games? The manual seems to imply that RT will be expanded with modules to the end of the war. But this still leaves Summer 1941 to Spring 1944 open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Belenko Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The AMMO Status for the OT-34: Flame >5K. How many shots does that translate to in the game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeeDog Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The AMMO Status for the OT-34: Flame >5K. How many shots does that translate to in the game? A lot. I haven't managed to run one dry yet. I'm not sure what the "points" of ammo for flamers are supposed re represent (ccs would be too small, liters would be too large... ounces, maybe?). Usage per blast is pretty high, IIRC in the hundreds of points, but with vehicle flamers that have high-capacity tanks like the OT-34, unless you're very extravagant with area fire you'll likely to run out of targets before you run out of juice. Manpack flamers are a different story. They only have enough juice for a few blasts, though this usually isn't much of an issue since given their short range I'm usually happy if I get a manpack team close enough to flame just a single target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thank you for posting the Manual. However, the 2 pages per viewing page is extremely hard to read on a tablet or small laptop computer. Will you please consider reformatting the Manual so that it is 1 to 1? Thank you. The game itself includes a different PDF version of the manual which will allow printing, and also allows 1 to 1 page view. And then of course there is the printed spiral-bound manual All preorders will get two of these plus as many other folks as stock will last (which probably isn't very long after preorders end I would guess).

LukeFF Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Where did Battlefront read that the M1891/30 was also called the M1930? All of the original Russian documentation I have seen and read (and the scope on my PU sniper) calls it either the 91/30 or 1891/30. I have never, ever heard of it being called the M1930. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noxnoctum Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 So in the past, how quickly after the manual being put up has the game come out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 So in the past, how quickly after the manual being put up has the game come out? Depends on how mislabeled the firearms are... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
