Knaust Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Now can someone explain to me why I was able to win 2 out of 3 games in CMBO, and now in CMBB I draw only one battle out of 6? :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I recall up intil the 1.01 patch there were still a smattering of 'the AI sucks" postings showing up every few days. Then after the patch came out things got very very quiet. I suspect people suddenly started losing to the AI more than they were used to. I'm not at all sure what tweaks BFC made, but it sure worked! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 The problem is that in CMBO we all learned some bad habits. Enemy MGs weren't a big threat, you could run your infantry across half the map without them getting tired and the arty strikes arrived on the battlefield with little delay and very high precision. No command&control for tanks and no vehicle morale made armour combat a lot simpler than CMBB. If you start to play CMBB and bring along all those 'bad habits' from CMBO you'll be in BIG trouble. I had the same problem in my first games and really learned the game from scratch again. I still remember how amazed I was how different the game played, when I saw CMBB the first time. Start from scratch, forget what worked in BO and see how it works in BB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Knaust, are you referring as in vs. AI or vs. human opponent? If you lose in the same time frame both as Germans and Soviets, then I'd suggest having a look at the list of changes implemented in CMBB since CMBO. And then try to use those to your advantage! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 The difference in infantry model probably means that things that would work in CMBO don't work in CMBB (think infantry running across 200m of open ground) To win more, you need to adapt your infantry tactics to the new model. Use MGs for suppressive fire, backed up by mortars and direct fire HE. Advance your units in a leapfrog fashion over short distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knaust Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 uhmmmm...in mirrored scenarios my Russian tanks can't hit any German target...Russian tanks of opponent are a lot better...the same for my German tanks...I'm going to think that is a matter of luck ....but obviously this not the answer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Some you lose some you give up on.... How will you learn if you give up on a game 3 turns in? Sure you had bad luck losing two tanks out of three but by playing on you might have learnt more about how to defend with what you had left. Luck for sure comes into it, that has not changed. Anyway, don't give up you are far better than that and I still remember our first Meeting Engagement with CMBO where your Hetzer was taken by my lucky Stuart front on....

Sublime Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Just keep pluggin at it Knaust... You'll get better, I reallly really sucked ass when I started playing CMBB (havin not played CMBO for more than a year hurt me too) After a few rough PBEMs and playing single player intensively I'm doin better =D If you want a PBEM mail me... Otherwise my advice on one way to learn really fast is get Biltongs Campaign Rules and prolly Biltaid as well.. Play with the same battlegroup for several battles and you'll get an excellent feel for what you can do with a certain type of Infantry Company Also remember a lot of the weapons and tactics you used in CMBO may not work not only because CMBB is different, but because you may be playing in 1941 or somefink... =D Lot harder to kill tanks without 'schrecks and 'zooks huh? In the end I like CMBB a lot better, I think the armor is improved a whole lot, and the infantry is more realistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
