Dynaman216 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 All this talk of the Flyers forces me to go off topic again. Of course the Flyers are the best - I've never seen better boxing in my life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howler Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 It's a professional 'ice' hockey men's league in North America. Simply titled as the National Hockey League. Very close to a religion for us Canadianas... and an attempt on my part to inject a little levity while we await the "pending" patches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer_Freak Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Love the game, the most accurate and realistic so far (it is of course impossible to get a computer game realistic with a big R). I am promoting this game to all strategic nerds I know and also to my NCO and officer colleagues. It is only one thing with this game that is really irritating. Why do paper thin wooden walls of a builidng have the protection value of concrete walls? Tanks has so realistic penetration values, why do not building has that too? Will this be fixed in the patch? I also have my hopes that all the issues with fortifications (trenches and fox holes) are fixed, making them worth the cost and of course that the units do not run away when arty hits them. One of the points of digging in is to resist arty better, then it is quite "fantastic" when the units running away from shelter - out in the open. Strange behavior if the unit are not paniced, then strange behavior are realistic. There is of course other little things with line of sight-tool and also line of fire vs line of sight (as you see it from ground camera view), but I have understood that it is quite hard to make this work with out a new engine or something (I am computer "handicaped" and are not interested with the technical disucussion what is the difference between engines, patches, DLC and all other fancy pancy names) and one learns the work arounds to the LOS-issues any way. Lastly, adding to the discussion of waiting for new patches/updates. Better wait for a patch that is good than them rushing it and it becomes ****. I have quit playing Steel Division, not realistic enough (when I found this game) and I would still quit playing it due to their crappy hurry up updates, making the game more and more un-playable. This game is good because I have noticed that the crew behind it puts down great effort to make it realistic and still playable, of course critic are always good but for my part I rather wait for a good patch then them throwing out crap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it is not wrong with critic, I only owned this game for half a year. If a problem has existed for 2 years and two months and it has been promised to be dealt with - well critic is of course reasonable. Still, this game is the best in its genre and I still believe it is because they are putting down big effort to do things rigid. That is my feeling and I compare it with Steel Division which eventually was eventually un-playable when it was updated with out thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With tracers removed and building penetration sounds emphasized, one gets a somewhat better impression of what actually happens. Also walls and windows are not quite WYSIWYG. It seems any openings are abstractly enlarged, maybe in order to help on buidling occupants spotting and targeting. Just bits of brain farting though. Edit: There´s some indep (city) buildings from CMBN Market Garden module that have huge windows, making the whole thing an avoid at all cost death trap. So there´s still some variation, which can be substantial. Guess the other games have similar candidates.

I'm sure all seven Mac users appreciate that the patch was delayed again to make sure it works also on their machines  You wouldn't really feel good playing the game knowing that somewhere in the world, a lonely mac user sat quietly whimpering in the shadows, rejected by his gaming community, would you? For my part, I wouldn't be able to bear it. Solidarity, brothers! Just because a few people choose to play on a widely unsupported gaming platform shouldn't mean that I should enjoy any special privilege just because I bought a Windows PC. All animals are, after all, equal, and the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. So carry on and show patience, comrade... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinHarry Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 quite a number of rather minor issues had been reported from players the recent times, So I´d guess (and hope) BFC goes through them all and check for validity and do fixes if necessary. If that takes the time we need to the see the patch, I´d be willing to wait even longer, also considering current V4 is fully playable with no true game breakers IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
