mikek1357 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I can't decide, CMBS or GTMF What I'm looking for: - I don't care about the time period - Realistic tactics - Immersion (not the most important thing) - A real challenge - Realistic ballistics, etc etc. Anyone who played both? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all CM titles have demos with like 10h of content. Try and see for yourself. I don't know about graviteam demos And it doesn't have to be "either or". Get them both I you like them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckdyke Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I installed GTMF had a look at it and got rid of it. The reason? I would uninstall Combat Mission too if it was RTS only. @Josey Wales has an excellent video about this subject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not wives, you can have both! Imho, Graviteam's advantages are better graphics and less micromanagement. In terms of units control they do a better job. But in terms of gameplay\ variety\tactics I prefer CM. Graviteam uses computer generated battles on pre made maps, so every mission in GT is so to speak "quick battle" in CM. Where as every CM scenario is hand picked with special tactical situation in mind. What's important CM has relatively simple editor. Not to mention that Graviteams interface is monstrous disaster, especially in tactical phase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I am puzzled with the claim that CM had poor graphics also that the game is biased against Soviet troops. By 1944 their forces are tank based in the game the only units with radios on a sufficient scale. I found and suspect a lot of players use their PC as their C2. My experiences make me think that a unit must have contacts to make area fire effective and in case of full contact let the TacAI do their work. The game lets you replay and gives the opportunity to capture screenshots for the family photo-album. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Sorry to be off topic again. I though the discussion was about graphics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like it, it ain’t perfect but just like Democracy it’s better than the next closest thing lol. I have another game that I tried, can’t remember the name, deals with Operation Bagration and other east front battles. I really like the overall operational aspect of it and wish CM would have something similar, like you get to pick which units are going to enter battle. The tactical level battles of the other game are not my cup of tea. I really like turn based games. Edited May 18, 2021 by zmoney 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I returned Steel Division 1 when it came out... it was that bad. Felt exactly like Wargame... Nobody comes close to the even the spotting system of cm. Thats why I stopped played good games like Men of War 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is from the same studio, ment to be a WW2 version of Wargame, so that's not surprise The strength of Wargame comes from tactical 10 vs 10 battles, Theres not another game like that on the market, just like CM is unique in it's own way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I knew Eugen was working on it. I had expected it to be halfway decent. But nah of course not. Eugen never had a clue and thats why all their games are dead. When the next games releases, Steel Division will die as well.. You couldn't even play the 10v10 maps on single player (For Wargame Red Dragon at least). The game was dog **** Instead of appealing to the larger audience (the wargaming community) they hedged their bets on making a niche 10 v 10 helllhole of a game. Even small battles feel totally uncontrollable. Everything moves at least 2-3x faster than they should in that game. Plus the borg spotting. God its so bad.
