VasFURY Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 OOF! Really excited with the potential release being before end of January. Pre-ordered it yesterday, cant wait to download. If you guys drop the game on the 29th Jan or before, I will love you especially hard. Got an 18 hour flight on 30th Jan, which would be perfect for some solo campaign games of CMBS! By the way, I noticed in the manual on the page listing the beta testers, that there is only 1 (ONE!) Russian named person out of the sixty or so people involved in testing. Thats terrible! I can speak Russian, Ukrainian and English fluently - how about you guys release the game files to me early, so that I can get some tests underway on the spoken and written vocabulary of the Russian and Ukrainian forces ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet 0369 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Long story short: "T-84U + new FCS and TI** + CITV station** + new turret and side skirts + "Duplet" ERA + satellite navigation + improved communications = BM "Oplot" Wow! Great information. My question is off topic, but I will ask it anyway Does the Ukranian satellite navigation system use the U.S. GPS system or the Russian constellation system? I can envision the Russians simply blocking Ukranian access to the system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antaress73 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Constellation is the data sharing network. GLONASS is the Russian version of the GPS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some Russian/Ukrainian speaking people helping us out, although most of them are not beta testers and a few have declined to identify themselves in the credits. Granted, they are still greatly outnumbered by the English speaking folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vet 0369 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Military folk really are not good with names are they?Especially those who got out of the military before many of the posters on this forum were born:-D Allow me to reframe the question. "does ...GPS or GLONASS ...?" Better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krasnoarmeyets Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Combined GPS and GLONASS. Here is the manufacturer's data sheet: http://lreri.tripod.com/TIUS/TIUS-N.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if i mailed you vodka and caviar - would that do it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUSKER2142 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I have long wanted to ask, but you have to make plans in MP mode for when one side will be able to play 2 or more players. Suppose a company will be able to command the 3 players. Давно хотел спросить , а у вас есть в планах сделать режим в MP когда за одну сторону смогут играть 2 и более игроков . Допустим ротой смогут командовать 3 игрока . I apologize in advance for my bad English, I use Google translation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Допустим ротой смогут командовать 3 игрока . As far as I know no. It would need to many resources to implement. Battlefront said that they would consider it if they received a military contract. Until then: No. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feature is actually listed in the Shock Force manual as a future feature, but I haven't seen it mentioned again. Would be fantastic though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herr_oberst Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I have long stayed away from 'modern' combat, preferring the CMBN, CMFI, CMRT (or CMBO, CMAK, and CMBB for us old-timers) era (yeah, I know, I'm old), but dang this one looks like fun. Pre-ordered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan/california Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I assume BFC will tell us when they go to final candidate testing. I believe they have previously stated they expect final candidate testing to take at least a week, I would then hazard a guess we are at least a week out.

heyhellowhatsnew Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 ChrisND, you have been awesome with the update. You have no idea how important it is doing this... talking to your customers and letting them know what's going on. This makes us feel and know you care because you do and you take time to post updates. We really appreciate it a lot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thank you Sir. I appreciate your insight. So it seems that Ukraine has covered all bets by combining both. Very forward thinking of them I guess this is actually Russia's fault. A few years ago they forbade the import of mobile phones that could not use GLONASS for location. Not wanting to loose that market the industry produced chips that supported both. So starting with the iPhone 5 (I don't know about others) you have GLONASS on your mobile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I misread this comment, and that it's about Russian translators not wanting their names published. Could lead to a bad day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
