folke Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I've updated my little site with a comments script. So if you have any thoughts about a unit, historical info or just a good rant, don't hesitate to write it down. I think that it will be of great help for noobs, (like me), when choosing units for a QB.

Hans Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hmmm is there a site that list when various weapons are available and not available in CMAK - like when do French operated Crusader MkIIs become selectable and when do they disappear? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 That's a very nice site and a brilliant idea. Detailed unit data, possibility to add comments, upload pics etc... BTW are there any restrictions on the pics (size, resolution, format)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 hans, i would have been nice if bfc would have put that in the manual since they must know. the excel chart for availability by country and date is at cmmods under my name or at band of brothers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Date of introduction is listed on Folkes site. On each unit. The Crusaders arrive in September 42 it says. No date of departure from OOB though. Well, none that I saw just now anyway. Dates on availability - appearing and disappearing - are listed for ammo types I see. But what to comment? It's all there really. What more would a QB player consider valuable information Folke? Cheerio Dandelion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerio Dandelion I for one would love to see comments along the lines of: "Usable in dence terrain but lack in ammo load out" "Fast and manouverable but a bit undergunned" "Avoid this crap despite the big gun" (could be a nashorn although it doesn't reflect my view on that part. unit) "Good bunker buster if you get it within reasonable range (maybe the AVRE?)" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When uploaded a script will change it to the size that fits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappy Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 This looks great. One feature I would love is the ability to compare units, that is pull up the stats for two or three units side by side on the screen. This would let you for example compare the differences between model varients or pull up vehicles from different sides to see how they match up. This is something that I use the scenario editor for today, but I find a hassle to have to. Just a thought. Great site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombinedArms Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 folke, I also think this is a fantastic site. Great work and thanks! I think Slappy has a good idea above if it can be easily implemented. If not, the viewer can do it himself by simply getting a new window in the browser, opening that new window to the site home, and finding the second unit--then set two windows side by side. Something like an indication of cost for (say) regular units would be very helpful. I know costs sometimes vary slightly so finding a standard way of indicating that (say, just giving the cost at time of introduction and then indicating any SIGNIFICANT changes) would be very helpful. But again, only if this is easy and something you want to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Folke, I forgot to write I also think its a highly useful and well designed site. But that's what I meant I'll see if I can't make readable brief historical summaries for the German units. Cheerio Dandelion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europa Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 How about a function that picks out the most bang for the buck units? You enter the 200 points you have left to buy for and ask for the biggest badass gun you would be able to buy for it. And out comes top 3 suggestions. No problem right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
