All of you people whining about your aircraft shooting up your armror, need to play IL-2 sturmovik with all realism settings on. When you are flying in an airplane, you can barely see your target, much less identify it.

<B><s>[B]</s>Brilliant News!Been waiting for the update before I started my campaign....Shame about the points allocation....Struggled to get a decent balanced force with 2000....now the Comrade General strips me ...

<t>When you say you lost 4 tanks, do you mean that the crew went up in flames as well, or just the vehicle itself?<br/>
<br/>
As far as spicing up the second battle. I think that int the second half of the battle, the vanguard of the main German force should begin catching up with the bridgehead ...

<t>Heh, these core sizes would help explain a lot.<br/>
<br/>
1 Company of infantry (Mossin) (13sqds)<br/>
2 12.7mm DShK<br/>
3 50mm mortars<br/>
<br/>
1 Company of Conscripts (they have the same organization as tank riders) (10sqds)<br/>
<br/>
1 Company of medium tanks T-34/41 (10 tanks)<br/>
<br ...

<t>The campaign is excellent! It does a good job setting the mood of the Eastern front.<br/>
<br/>
IMHO the second battle is too easy. I got a draw on the first one, and a marginal victory on the second one (my own fault). It is way too easy to infiltrate the german positions, and then check mate ...

How low does the rate of fire go?

I guess the point I was trying to make was that the game makes me commander and that I can issue unlimited commands <E>:D</E> <e>[/B]</e></B><e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE ...

Cramped turret maybe?

Well, one member of the squad might have been getting ready to throw a grenade, and the sniper shot hims just as he pulled the pin.

When I send my Japanese scout team to kill a chinese sniper, and end up fighting several melee rounds with no effect. Next turn the sniper kills all my four men in just one melee round.

/queue kungfu movies music, and obligatory matrix shot

If I'm not mistaken King Tiger was Mark VIII

<r>If I'm not mistaken 50cal is 12.7mm.<br/>

SVT was a Soviet semi-auto carabine. <br/>

The Russain 85mm Flak does the same thing.

<t>Do you guys have any tips on how to properly support your tanks with infantry, when playing as Soviets? <br/>
<br/>
1. They have no APCs.<br/>
2. The APCs they do get later on cannot hold twelve men<br/>
3. I don't like putting trucks on the front line since they go up in smoke if you look at ...
