tiger123 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 When Normandy becomes available will it be as a module for CM-SF or will it be a standalone game ? Thankyou 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Standalone game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wengart Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 tiger123, each major change in theater, terrain, weather, time period, and possibly TO&E will result in the release of a new stand along game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Not to mention the modules that come along with it to make it into a family, like the CMSF family. I forget the exact plans, but after Normandy is Market Garden and Bulge modules I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 No, Normandy (summer to fall '44) and Bulge (winter '44 to spring '45) are separate titles. Market Garden would probably be a module for Normandy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD Smack Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Though people will be disappointed not being able to model those entirely realistic BMP-3 vs Stuart light tank battles Ya know I was totally hoping for an all Tigers vs BMPs.....but that may not be fair....for the BMPs!!

Battlefront.com Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Definitely Market Garden as a Module for the Normandy Family. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Ya know I was totally hoping for an all Tigers vs BMPs.....but that may not be fair....for the BMPs!! Steve Well, with the tiger's slow turret and the BMPs AT-3s it could be an interesting (if short) duel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Even a BMP-1 could kill the Tiger. The T-54 is superior to Tiger in every respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcrof Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 A BMP-1 can kill a Tiger at any range up to 3000m with either the AT-3 or its main gun. It is also smaller, faster, amphibious, more reliable and contains troops with RPG-7's. I know which I would rather have! But to be fair, I have never liked Tigers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 On the other hand, Tiger has Nahverteidigungswaffe and Zimmerit coating. What if you're fighting against hordes of infantry with magnetic mines? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I could see Billy Mays selling Zimmerit on German TV during WWII. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Balaban Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Will the game be released some time in 2010? I did not want to ask this for in my guts it is yes. It may also be 2011 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanonier Reichmann Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 The T-54 is superior to Tiger in every respect. Except looks. The coolness factor of a PzKfw VI far exceeds that of a T54. Regards KR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, and neither do the Germans because they were the ones who were primarily using the damn things to begin with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wengart Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Speaking of AT grenades/satchels/mines, will we be seeing more robust modeling of these in CM:N, and could we possibly see some in the NATO module? Hcrof, could a BMP-1's main gun really penetrate the armor on a Tiger? After seeing how well those guns do against Strykers I have my doubts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuirassier Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 The gun can penetrate the Tiger's armor easily. Its drawback is accuracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yair Iny Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 The gun can penetrate the Tiger's armor easily. Its drawback is accuracy. Yeah, but that's it's accuracy compared with modern APCs/Tanks. Would a Tiger be more accurate than a BMP-1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Based purely on MV (which is somewhat irrelevant in this case anyway), I'd guesstimate Tiger I accuracy > BMP-1 accuracy. OTOH, I'd say that the BMPs optics were better, and at night infinitely better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcrof Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hcrof, could a BMP-1's main gun really penetrate the armor on a Tiger? After seeing how well those guns do against Strykers I have my doubts. The BMP's main gun was actually very good for its time and could penetrate the front of all tanks from the period. Remember, back in the 60's they didn't have composite armour or ERA so HEAT rounds where devistatingly effective. At the time they were predicting the death of the MBT! You can test it out yourself - put T-55s verses BMP-1. The BMP-1 has no problem knocking out the tanks. I'm pretty sure the designers of the Stryker had the BMP-1 in mind when they came up with its armour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 The gun can penetrate the Tiger's armor easily. I assume you mean it's firing HC? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Guys, doesn't the BMP-1's 73mm smoothbore fire the RPG-7 warhead? So, in effect, the question is really whether or not the RPG-7 can defeat the Tiger. Sure, firing from a BMP-1 is probably a lot more accurate than firing an RPG from the shoulder, so, yes, the BMP-1 is a more accurate platform than a rocket launcher, but given the low velocity of the RPG-7, coupled with its extreme sensitivity to crosswinds, I'd have to give the Tiger I the crown for the accuracy prize. A cannon accurate to 2 km's beats the RPG beyond 300 meters any day. Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
