RE: Optics & Fog

<t> All right, then answer me this: how come my guys, infantry and/or armor, can actually see their infantry but can't see their armor??? [&:]<br/>
<br/>
How do my people notice even infantrymen but not a big fat tank right in front of them???<br/>

The Fog's really mysterious! [&o]</t>

Optics & Fog


Were Sherman optics better or something in the fog??

I got a case on the Tirepied map (second from top right in grand strategic map view) where none of my Pz IVs can see the enemy tanks like 90% of the time!! When foggy, I mean. Like, sniper tanks!! [X(]

RE: Man, This Game Really Likes to CHEAT!!!

That's what I thought...well, I'll just chalk it up to maybe my guys not being as experienced, more fatigued, whatever -- I couldn't take note of all the various possible factors, of course (seeing how I was frantically staring down the barrels of some Cromwells!)....

I dunno...just now, my Pak-40 was able to take out infantry but decided to "save ammo" when confronted with a Cromwell!!!

Man, This Game Really Likes to CHEAT!!!

Wow, my guys can never see AT guns or shoot straight at distance but the computer ALWAYS zeros in with no problem, dialing in my position right away and hitting a penny at range!!!

RE: more CCE EXE crashes....Steve?

<t> Sorry, I guess I should've been more detailed: I'm not looking to disable the videos -- I do think they add greatly to the atmosphere and overall vibe of the game (wish your "Gateway to Caen" had some; it ain't hard to cobble together such things but they bring tremendous UX payoffs!) -- I just ...

RE: more CCE EXE crashes....Steve?

Frequent crashes due to startup videos...can't get the introductory video for the game at all (the one that plays after the corporate logo animations), and now half the time campaign videos also cause crashes back to Windows (7 Pro) -- please advise!!

So I finish the campaign and just get kicked out of the game...geez, what a tremendous step backwards!!<br/>

Part of the appeal, the overall experience, of the original CC games were how the end felt like a tribute, even if you lost...here, even when you win you just get dumped ...

Game Updates

I don't get it...why download a game then download an update -- shouldn't the latest version of the game be what's offered for download???

Mortars Not Firing: "Can't See Target"

<t> WTF??? Just had this happen to me. Two mortar teams just refused to fire anymore -- despite well over twenty rounds of ammo left each -- 'cause they couldn't see the target...even though they'd fired just fine a minute or so before!!!<br/>
<br/>
Also, why do mortars, including those on ...

Panzerfäuste

<t> In the old CC games, the Panzerjäger units would have more than like just three or four shots on them -- and they actually took aim!<br/>

88

In the old CC games, it was like eight crew-members for one 88 AA/AT gun...how come here it's like four or even three??

"Raus Hier!!"

<t> Hey, in the old CC games crews would bail out or even abandon their vehicles or guns under fire but not sprint all across the map dodging bullets and cannon-fire!<br/>
<br/>
In fact, they usually jettisoned to a safe distance away and stayed put...useful for being low-rate recon at least...why ...

Unavailable Slots

So many slots are unavailable...why? I mean, maybe historical reasons but this is a game after all -- most scenarios seem to have like around ***half*** the slots unavailable!!!!!

Anyway to "fix" this, please, short of using the Editor to create my own battles? Thanks.
