George MC Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I've just uploaded a short (just over five minutes) unofficial CMSF NATO video. This short film uses video sequences taken from the NATO module. It shows a German mech kampfgruppe made up of Leopards and Marders engaging Syrian T62s and BMPs. The scenario is called 'Fields Of Fire' and is one of the scenarios included in the German campaign which comes with the module. You can see the video at the link below And before you ask - soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wodin Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I enjoyed that...Looks like it's a tough fight for the Germans....I imagined the Leopard to devour those T62's....Just wondering do the new Nato forces play like the British module? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Excellent stuff, thanks for sharing. Looks like utter carnage, and that was from the campaign!! One thing I've never been that keen on are the sound effects though. They seem a little weak. Just nit picking though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George MC Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 He! The video shots were taken in my first playthrough using an AI Plan had drawn up. I must admit I was a tad too cocky thinking my Leopards would take apart anything the Syrian's had. Still you guys will get a chance to fight this and I'm sure will do way better @Thomm - picky bugger I can hardly write and speak English never mind German! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 @Phil Aye Phil the sound effects are stornger in game I just made the main sound track a bit too loud. I'm still playing around with this new video editing software I have and the sound mixing is one thing I'm needing to do more work with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The six man panzergrenadier sections are very brittle I found. You do need to ensure they have fire support from their Marders, mortars etc. I've mainly been playing about with mech heavy units i.e. panzergrenadier - I found their MGs are very good at suppressing enemy units but watch out if FIBUA stuff... The German mountain troops are a differant beastie - larger sections very heavily armed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivodsi Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Nice video! Real frenetic battle going on there. You should probably leave the titles on screen for a bit longer though - blink and they're gone! Question: whats that thing that lobs onto the leopard at 1:40 or so? Maybe a missile from a different tank than the Syrian one in the foreground? Doesn't do much damage though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadwin73 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 On the NATO-side yo can select a buy now button. Is that new. I don´t now, but I think last week it was pre-order? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right...I'm at work otherwise I'd try it out. Go on, after you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a missile from a different tank than the Syrian one in the foreground? Doesn't do much damage though. If I recall it was an AT missile from a BMP 2 that had taken up a hull down position. It damaged the Leopards weapon sites etc hence why it appears to not see the T62 on it's 3 0'clock after it reverses back into that dip. Re the titles - I did think about leaving em for longer but they got in the way of the video footage. I was looking to keep the video fairly short so reckoned people could always pause it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Great! I still wish the crews didnt bail out so quickly (LEO2). Sonetines It seems they bail out moments before impact! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Errmm that Leopard was hit hard - killed one crew member - so guess they were keen to GTFO! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Yes but I've seen this happening before with intact tanks. Just doenst look right. You first see them bailing out and then hear the boom. They are certainly faster than the speed of sound! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 It is fun watching tanks battling at believable combat ranges. We CM vets have got used to it but it must be quite an eye-opener to newbies just stumbling on the video. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankster65 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Excellent vid. What was the size of that map you battled on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Excellent vid. What was the size of that map you battled on? It's about 1.7 x 1.2km - not the biggest map in the campaign 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankster65 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Really? Interesting...the map actually looked pretty big in your excellent vid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 There are a couple of maps in the campaign that are over 2.5km by 2km square - they are pretty big. I think the map in the video looks large because it's fairly open although lot's of small elevation changes which do reduce LOS/LOF. Also there are not many units on the map so you have some space to move about. Glad ya liked the video 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
