Hmm, yes, I do believe it may (not sure) have crashed on one or two occasions, but that's not the issue I'm raising here. Thanx for the info tho, even tho I'm pretty sure my OS doesn't fall into those categories.

<t>OK, recently I decided to try out the C&C option in the game, and play with the majority of my units (excepting recon and artillery) on computer control. I loved it. For playing the old way is a TRUE clickfest, but just being able to set objectives and waypoints and let 'er rip was refreshing and ...

The Panther is probably a 3 vs. 5 straight-up head-on match with the T-34/85s. Combine that with superior German crews and doctrines, and you have some serious Russian losses.

Matt

<t>The physics of simultaneous hull and turret movement would be kind of interesting. During the initial phase of hull turning, when there is positive accelleration, also moving the turret would be inefficient at best and likely impossible. Then there would be some opportunity during the constant ...

First rule of game modding-- BACK UP THE ORIGINAL FILES!

hehe, oh well, you'll remember next time, won't ya <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

<t>Ok, here's an OoB question-- why is the JagdTiger faster than the Konigstiger?? How does this make sense?? From what I've read, the Konigstiger saw a great deal of use (despite the relatively small numbers produced), and the JagdTiger was a huge, lumbering, clumsy, breakdown-prone monster that ...

<t>Just to try and burn out some potential fuel here, I will note, Alex, that the "ambush" idea pretty much doesn't hold water, as if there were an "ambush" the tanks would already be on the map, hidden and in cover, wherever off in the trees or whatever. Having things popping out of an r-hex, which ...

<t>Praytell, who designed this scenario? I would like to speak with them, to understand certain design decisions that were made. For instance, in the landing scenario, I would have expected some resistance at the beach.. but of course I can't judge until I know why the designer made the decision.<br ...

Dude, GO BACK ON YOUR MEDICATION! It was perscribed for a reason..

Matt

<t>Yes, I agree totally, you ARE *quite* mental..<br/>
<br/>
Dude, turn off the computer, have a snack, take a walk. Breathe deeply. Ah, that's better, isn't it?<br/>
<br/>
..<br/>
<br/>
But anyway, if the tanks weren't to "magically transport", then they'd have to appear at some other hex. If you ...

<r>Well, having just played several battles of a randomly-generated US Paratroops vs. Germans campaign, I can tell you that when close assaulted by infantry, infantry riding in halftracks are initially treated as vehicles, that if stricken may have their suspension disable (*lol*) or be destroyed ...

<t>Ehh.. SP3 was all cool and fantastic back when it was like "whoah, man! They've got like, all the weapons, and tanks, and nationalities, and stuff, man! All in one game! How cool!". But since then I've come to realize what I steaming pile of bull this game was when it came to tactical realism and ...

<t>The thing that people consistently will fail to realize about old warfare and new warfare is that it really is all the same thing anyway. I suppose if you enjoy the act of memorizing a large and diverse weapons encyclopedia, WW2 and on would be for you. But this is the only real advantage that ...

<t>IIRC gliders can get destroyed, but this never causes more than simple suppression to their passengers. And no, paratroops do not take casualties from landing. I consistently drop them in trees, and they don't even seem to get particularly suppressed (the suppression seems to be more of a random ...

You can also expect some highly defensive posts from some vets around here pretty quick. Not that I blame them, this being a free game put together with an incredible amount of dedication.

Matt

<t>Ah yes, the only problem is that there must be impetus for any change. If something ain't broke people won't fix it, and depending on the community, something may have to be really, really, life-threateningly broke to get fixed.<br/>
<br/>
Of course, from what I've observed this is a remarkably ...

<t>I dunno, I get nagging feelings like that too, Velovich, but my general rule for them is that I'm wrong. It's really easy to get into the mental cycle of thinking that an annoying feature is "one-sided" and the AI isn't suffering from it. But I can't remember the last time one of these paranoid ...

<t>I believe including tanks in Tank Desant units is an attempt to force us to use the "correctly", just as unrealistically low carry capacities on tanks are an attempt to simulate real difficulties, "forcing" us to carry infantry "correctly" in trucks or APCs.<br/>
<br/>
I do sort of have problems ...

<t>Well, thank you for the instructions on how to drop 'chuters, personally I found it to be intuitive, but that should be very helpful, especially for people who play with C&C on (I don't).<br/>
<br/>
But when it comes to airborne insertions, the question I'm dying to ask, and I'm sure others are ...

<t>"oob" refers to the file extension of the weapons, units, (and formations?) information files for SPWAW. I.e., somewhere, there are a bunch of files named "somefile.oob", and either with the original download, or on some other site, you should have or be able to get an oob editor(s), to mess with ...
