Warts 'n' all Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 2 hours ago, Raskol said: Hi all, I bought the pack and I look forward to playing it. Is there any posibbility for the game to be shared early to Combat Mission youtubers in order to create some hype? Thank you all for all your work. That used to be @ChrisND's forte. But, he might be too busy nowadays 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lieutenant Ash Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Re bought the CM1 titles on GOG awhile back to get my north africa and early east front fixes (only around £5.00 each). Finding CM1 mods online nowadays is a challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who never played CM1 (I'd like to say I'm too young, but that would be a lie) the only bit I don't like about those shots is the 'comic-style' crew members - oh and perhaps the huge star, but that might be correct? But anyway, we have the CM2 version about to come out of the closet... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my failings in CM is to not get down to the ground as often as I should, so I don't see every detail on the wheels. Don't tell my opponents ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I'm not a nitpicker either but there's definitely a huge improvement with cmx2, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurian52 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I'd say the biggest improvements in CM2 are infantry combat and spotting. Vehicle combat in CM1 actually isn't noticeably any worse than CM2, apart from being less visually gratifying. So it's definitely a good way to scratch any early war tank itch you might have if you can't wait for CM2 to move back to the early war. But there is no denying that infantry combat is much more abstracted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanonQM Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Shame the Staghound III hasn't made the cut, even if it was a very late arrival (think the Canadians were the first to get them in April '45) it's such an interesting and kind of handsome heavy armoured car with the Crusader turret and 75mm gun, a kind of convergent evolution with the AEC III. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakai007 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I am fairly sure that AA halftrack is already in FB. I know it's in the Eastern Front series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In CMRT the late version with the 20mm guns is introduced in December 1944. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieutenant Ash Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 SdKfz 251 'Drilling' is in FB base game. As for CM1, if Battlefront ever release a CMAK 2 and early war east front game, then I'll retire the cm1 series finally, never to see Moe, Larry and Curley ever again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtsjc1 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 There is a AAR video I was watching where the German player had a 251 Drilling HT and used it as a very effective anti personnel weapon. A German meatchopper! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 On 1/12/2024 at 11:07 PM, MikeyD said: Sherman hybrid did make it into the game, but in the guise of a very late M4 Sherman 75 on the US side. Let me fire up a QB. But that does not look like a 17pdr gun that looks like a normal 75mm. Am I missing something? Some of the pictures posted by @Frenchy56 look like 17pdrs and others like 75mm. The way I read the post was the hybrid was also a 17pdr.

MikeyD Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The Brits converted M4 Sherman types to 17 pounders, including the hybrid chassis, but they all initially started out as 75mm Shermans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I see so the hybrid doesn't refer to the addition of the 17pdr gun but the hull and some of those were converted to Fire flys as well.

One heck of a conversion, at least for tank versus tank. The 17 pdr went in upside down I think I read, and a crew member had to be dropped? Or did I just dream the first bit of that... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
