panzermartin Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Wow! Graphics looks so much better. That proves once again that the stryker is the ugliest APC ever. CMSF looks so beautiful without it Btw, I didnt know that this type of building was possible to make: looks like a garage made from linking two buildings with a roof...or is it my idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Drool drool. You can't tell me Red-on-Red battles don't look appealing now. With those ACs and a few generic troops you can imagine you're fighting 2/3rds the 'small' conflicts of the last half century! Cambodia, Yemen, Angola, Cuba, Turkmenistan... has Turkmenistan been involved in any recent conflicts? :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The other thing I find really impressive in this shot and the one I posted above is the amount of detail in the bushes in the foreground. I wonder if they cause a big fps hit or if Charles has found some sneaky coding shortcuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Toleran Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 How come some shots of the BDRM-2 have it with a tire hat? If they do that in real life, why have it on the turret, would that not raise the profile and/or increase the chance the spare could get damaged? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Capt. Toleran, The tire on the turret indicates advanced engineering. In case of a roll over, the pnuematically pressurized tire aids in a "bounce" to help upright the vehicle. Should that fail, and the vehicle remain inverted, the tire is used to extricate the vehicle from the line of fire. This is accomplished by, while balanced upside-down on the turret, having the gunner quickly rotate the turret either clockwise or counterclockwise (depending on the threat direction) and wheeling the vehicle away. It doesn't quite roll, manuevering more in a siderwinder style, but still able to sidle back behind terrain. Does that help?

Hagleboz Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 These screenshots are incredible, and are far and away the best I've seen yet. I'm having trouble figuring out if the sky box has been updated yet. In some of the pictures it seems like the background resolution is much more crisp but in others not as much. No matter what those models are stunning! The faces of the Syrian tankers seem to be very detailed as well, more so than what I've seen up to this point. Only a couple of pictures with minor shading lines as well. I also love how the armor plates over the windows of the BRDM-2 can go up and down. This is the most exciting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chechnya Yugoslavia And almost all africa and middle east. Iran Iraq... South america (I bet there are some deserts there) The possibilities are huge.

kipanderson Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi, All looks outstanding…. the evening I get home and find CMSF is released I will immediately be downloading a copy . However… it is a shame this setting for CMX2 will be so one-sided… . I would be lying if I said anything other than that high-intensity warfare between opponents in the same “ball-park” is my first love. The Syrian kit shown in the blog was designed in the ‘60s for war against ‘70s US kit such as the M113 APCs and M60 tanks. Against that generation it would perform just fine. All good fun, All the best, Kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vetacon Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 These screenshots look great. If anything, and somewhat bizarrely, these have enthused me more than anything hitherto. Maybe it's because they have more of an original CM1 feel, being oldish vehicles. Who knows. Anyhows they look great. Can't wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'Rogers Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 this is one of those posts that just makes you want to put your forehead into the palm of your hand and sigh deeply. Hey, we all have our momentsI don't think you understand, they are sighing because they couldn't believe you hadn't heard of this fact yet. You should see an Abrams do it, now that is something amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
