ColonelSquirrel Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 Sorry if this is redundant but I scanned as many posts as possible. I love CM but what happened to the Browning Automatic Rifle? Or the Tommy Gun for example I know they were not standard issue but those .45's would rip some SMG squads some new ones. Flail tanks would be good for the next version but I can see how those would be a a pain to put in. Well thats my post love the game keep up the good word. P.S. put in a abandon command I hate it when the mortar squad is wondering around with an empty mortar when I could use them as regular infantry.

Michael Dorosh Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 SMGs and BARs are in the game - inherent to the squads. When you click on a squad, hit ENTER to see the stats. Mortar crews were trained specialists, and as such, allowing their use as infantry in the game is not realistic. They weren't employed that way in real life, so the game doesn't let you do it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLeftFlank Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 Heard and read some amazing stories about BAR gunners though, in both WWII and Korea, basically holding off overwhelming enemy attacks for hours single-handed. With the long range and the bipod it seems you can really sweep a pretty wide area and once the enemy has gone to ground you can keep him pinned there pretty well if you're determined to. I suppose a low cyclic rate has its advantages in this kind of situation, as does a one man crew (less conspicuous?). A lot of CMH winners among BAR gunners. Not a bad combat record for an obsolete weapon. I'll still take an MG42, mind you.... make that two. Reach out, reach out and touch someone....

Radar Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 You shouldn't be too hard on them ColonelSqurrel, try looking over at CMHQ's 3rd party mods you'll find a mod with small arms. I think there you'll find what you're looking for (and a whole lot more, I think). ------------------ Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize its your money to start with.

Michael Dorosh Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 Squad automatics that were only issued one or two per squad (ie the Bren, MG42, BAR, etc.) aren't modelled with the squads, as you know. I don't think there are any mods for them either, but am open to correction. I suppose one could mod a M1 into a BAR, if they didn't mind all three guys in an on-map squad carrying them. The dimensions would be wrong, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 CMHQ has a set of weapon mods that feature (amongst other stuff): - A couple of BAR versions - At least one Tommie gun - Lee enfield with attached bayonet Edit: It's in the miscellaneous section, page 1. http://www.combatmission.com/mods/sfx.asp Cheers Olle [This message has been edited by Olle Petersson (edited 03-07-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rex_Bellator Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 Where's the Bar? This is the most important and critical question I've ever seen on a thread, and one which I hope to learn in 10 languages as it's usually my first utterance on reaching my holiday destination.
