Guest KwazyDog Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 "Um, I just looked at the Jumbo in 1.1. Its speed and armor are still the same as before." Vanir, the reduction in armour is not something that will show in the Jumbo unit info as it is a change made due to they way in which the Jumbo's armour was constructed. I dont know the details, but if you do a search you will find more info. Im not sure about the speed, Ill have to run that one past Charles...

Wilhammer Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 ::Puppchen is available on all dates:: Oh my gosh. I ran into those for the first time in a PBEM this week, and they are quite devestating. I guess I need more arty in my QBs to mask them. BTS, thanks for the patch and all your hard work.

eggman5151 Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 I have purchased a lot of software in my day - I am an old guy =P Combat Mission, although I have not been playing it much lately waiting for the 1.1 patch, represents one of the best values in a game purchase I have ever had. Thanks for the commitment to the product and to customers. That's unfortunately rare these days. Well Done BTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 I buy a new game almost every week (X-Plane and Combat Command last week...), and most of them do not last longer than a couple of weeks on my HD; but I have had CM almost since it came out, and I am spending more time playing it than all other games put together. Kudos to all (now if only the CMHQ scenario page can be upped from its status of the slowest page on the Internet...). Henri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinCheng+ Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Hey, you release the final patch when I am AT WORK!!! That is not fair! Downloading it now... IIRC, this is the last patch for CMBO, isn't it? Hey Slapy, where can I get MacOS 9.1? Is it free?

Enemy units would set up an ambush, and target the ambush marker waiting for you to "trip" it. If they enemy moved, and you sighted them moving, then you would see a target line from the enemy unit to the ambush marker, so you would see where the enemy's ambush area was. I only saw the ambush marker when the enemy moved, never when the enemy was stationary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipanderson Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Hi, may I just add my congratulations on the great work. For those of us looking for realism in war games CM really is something very special. I cannot get over just how lucky we all are that BTS took up the project. CM is a true simulation, in my view, however little that may be worth. There is a classic example of this in the changes to deal with "curved mantlets" such as the Panther's. I had long thought this the last gap in the realistic modelling of armour/armour penetration but considered it a "detail too far". But not for BTS. Given the curved nature of most Soviet mantlets, in WW2, it is great to see the detail will be there for CM2. May I just add my weight to the question already asked above. We have to delete the program file its self, but did not the betas change some of the folders and do we have to delete them? Most likely I am just being thick. All the best, Kip.

Mr. Clark Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Just wanted to add my thanks... ...and also need to add my own confusion about just WHAT exactly we need to do to properly delete v1.1b24 and get on w/ 1.1? ALSO, can we load PBeM games straight up w 1.1 if they come from 1.1b24 games, or do we need to do the load and save process on them? (Thus giving us reason to hang on to b24) Thanks again!

Mr. Clark Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 ALSO... just noticed that the README has this line in it: **"1. Run the patch and select your existing Combat Mission install directory as the destination. Unlike previous patches, the PUBLIC BETA will install directly into your Combat Mission folder without further manual file copying. The patch will create the necessary folders and files in all the correct locations."** The use of the words PUBLIC BETA may confuse many people... just a heads up. (I'm sure it's a leftover from the beta README) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankDawg Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Hi, Remind me how to save a 1.05 PBEM game in progress so I can play it in 1.1. Thanks!!!! ------------------ Jeff Newell TankDawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 IIRC, just fire up v1.05, load a PBeM file, Use the SAVE GAME feature and save it as any 1 player save game. Next, fire up v 1.1, Load the Saved game, take your turn as normal, and then at the end it will save as a PBeM (as normal). This won't work with a movie only file, has to be a turn where you give orders... (once again IIRC.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean you can't give stationary vehicles a ROTATE order? (You have to move them some distance to get them to rotate)? If this is so, why? Was it determined that rotate-in-place was impossible? If this is so, then do tanks still rotate in place to help align the main gun? Much cornfuzed. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Wait, I think I figured it out. I thought it was "vehicles must be moving to do something other than HIDE," but I think now it means "vehicles that are currently moving CANNOT have a HIDE order attached at the end." Is this right? Why is this so? Was it judged to abstractional to allow a tank to move some distance and, at the end, go into HIDE mode? DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means you cannot string together a hunt, move, or move fast command then a hide command at the end. Your tank must be stationary to give the hide command. Rotate has nothing to do with hide unless you're asking whether you can string together rotate and hide only, without any movement commands. If so, I don't know. ------------------ Jeff Abbott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Howzabout it BTS? Is it still possible to give a ROTATE order, and a HIDE order tacked on the end? I understand not being able to charge across a field (or whatever) and then HIDE at the end, but what about a ROTATE order? DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 it is my understanding that in the game Hide as it relates to Tanks ONLY idles the engine making a sound contact alot less likely. NOW if you rotate the tank then the engine is not on LOW idle so it will make noise, so if it is making noise it CANNOT hide and be less likely to be "spotted" as a "sound contact" I understand hiding tanks is ALL about reducing the chance of a sound contact because they are not really "hiding" just silenced temporarily so ANY engine noise is irreconcilable with "no" engine noise and "hiding" Anyone else? comments? Who knows how this REALLY works? (in the game that is?) -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
