Mord Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Digital DL for Elements 2018 on Amazon, is 69 bucks. Apparently it went on sale because last time I looked it was 99. Neither is very much money, this time last year I could've bought it in a second but right now I am out of work and living off my savings and can't justify the expenditure. Life is feast or famine. I feasted these last two years but had no time, now I have time but gotta go on a diet. LOL. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get too much out of your mods to not feel it is right to help get the software. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'm in, but only if there's a Mord mod which teases @sburke in a barbed, drawing painful, awkward laughter, sort of way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Another equipment related thought.....With the benefit of hindsight (not to mention generous gulf states) it seems to me that NVG should be added to the top couple of equipment quality slots for 'Fighters' and perhaps the top quality slot for 'Combatants'. http://taskandpurpose.com/taliban-red-unit-commandos-m4s-killed-scores-afghan-troops-week/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Surely 'rarer than a rare thing' is the purpose of the top equipment tiers.....As you know my interest is no longer really very focussed on the the fictional storyline (Wonder how that happened? ), the more options we get, the more we can do (can't hurt to mention it after all). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Options are nearly always a good thing on principle. Nobody is forced to use the option. But if someone wants to simulate an Elite UNCON with NVG's... Why not? It's a game... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a girlfriend once that called Combat Mission "that little video game that you are always playing" during a semi-argument. Well, I had to explain to her that it wasn't a "video game" but an advanced combat simulation portraying the Western Front of WWII, using historically accurate equipment and armies to create blah, blah, blah. You noticed I said "had" a girlfriend...? Mord. Edited December 16, 2017 by Mord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) PS - @Combatintman Mostly been messing about with that ODA Team Core that I knocked up for Borg of late.....They're a flexible little mob! Mosul is giving me the hump at the moment, I have this feeling I'm going to be doing it all again (well the most fiddly bit at least) in the not too distant future.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Forgot to mention in my post on NVG that Fighter teams already have access to NVG from their ATGMs and more (too?) frequently from the RPG-29s at the top end of the equipment quality chart.....It's a bit odd to have RPGs leading every nocturnal advance but it's the sensible move as things stand. We have learnt in recent years that ISIS was more than capable of some surprisingly sophisticated improvisation (again not to mention some very well financed backers in the region): http://spioenkop.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/armour-in-islamic-state-story-of.html http://sturgeonshouse.ipbhost.com/topic/956-jihad-design-bureau-and-their-less-mad-opponents-creations-for-killing-each-other/ So a few NVG equipped riflemen & snipers really doesn't seem beyond the pale as a tweak to the TOE to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what your interest is in the fictional storyline - it doesn't flick my switch much either as you also know. The fact is that Steve has stated repeatedly that CMSF is a fictional Syrian conflict set in 2008 and there is and never has been any appetite on Battlefront's part to morph it into an Iraq, Afghanistan or any other game. If we campaign and scenario designers want to do that then fine but I say again that you are urinating in the wind if you think that Battlefront are going to add stuff to CMSF 2 to turn it into anything other than a fictional Syrian Conflict set in 2008 upgraded to the current game engine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is pretty much it. Manage your expectations to what you already know. CMSF2 will not change it's setting. The only thing it will do is add the 4.0 engine capabilities. "only" being a really weak word for a spectacular update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
