pomjon Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I saw that CMFI has the M1903 Springfield without scope. I was wondering which units or formations use it in game? Is there by any chance infantry formations where they all use the M1903 instead of the M1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinaldi Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Squad level grenadiers still used them at this time period; you'll see them in the '43 scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizou Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 If you purchase units in the editor as low quality you will probably also see more of them in 43. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizou have / can you test that? I don't own CMFI, just CMBN and CMRT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just did, for July 43, US Inf Bn and Engineer Bn that are set to poor will be equipped with Springfields instead of Garands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Here is screenshot proof: Really cool actually. Having just learned this I'm going to play around with it for a bit. Should be fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappagoat Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Thanks that screenshot is great. I've been interested to play CMFI. I've also been tweaking some of the pacific mods for CMBN and making a few map... however it seems CMFI would be a far better platform for PTO modding due to: Availability of earlier US infantry TO&E Springfields as shown above for early USMC 37mm M3 Gun US tropical uniform already in game A range of French / Italian tanks similar in appearance to Japanese Italian Breda HMG similar to Japanese Type 92 With Gustav Line British can still be used to represent Japanese as in CMBN, or possibility to use Italians depending on their force structure. However I guess there's also the terrain types and textures to consider, e/g/ is there the XT Grass?

LukeFF Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I wouldn't bother with trying to make the game look like the Pacific. There's far too many differences to make it look right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 @pappagoat yes, there is XT grass in CMFI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's far too many differences to make it look right. And aside from not looking right, and far more importantly, they won't act right. There are far too many differences in equipment, organization, and doctrine to ever get an authentic experience out of the excursion.

pappagoat Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Well it'd be no different to CMBN PTO modding already done by other people then.... which is workable Edited April 16, 2016 by pappagoat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Well, that is a matter of opinion. I realize I seem to be in the minority on this subject, which is why I usually keep quiet about it, but I am also unapologetically hard-assed about it. Of course different people come to the game for different reasons looking for different things. I come to it hoping to find historical authenticity. Other folks are just looking for a mash up game. Different strokes. Me, if I want an evening of friendly competition I'd rather play chess. Or even Monopoly! Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappagoat Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 It is what it is. PTO modding is already there so this isn't about the merits of its existence, just that CMFI would of made a far more suitable platform. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
