Broadband usually places you behind a firewall, NAT, or the such. Use whatismyip.com to get your true IP address.

RE: The Sherman: A Winner by the Numbers?

<t> What bothers me about the article is that it implies that the Sherman tank is superior due to numbers. I have to disagree. This is a fine point but follow with me.<br/>

RE: Increase to German armor thickness

<t> If I'm not mistaken tanks of quite a few nations were like this. If they didn't actually weld the tracks to the front, they stored spare tracks at the front. Some had logs tied all over them. Not a historian but I thought I remembered something like this...<br/>

RE: SPWAW Executable Patch and Editor Beta Release

Yeah Mike I'm pretty sure that's what they mean. They are used to Chlanda's OOBDump.exe. It creates a comma separated file but I'm sure tab would work fine too.

RE: Live Delay option

<t> From my understanding, it is how long after the mouse has been hovering in one place before those little information boxes pop up. I know it affects the boxes during purchases and I'm pretty sure it affects unit / hex info (when cut on in preferences) when viewing the battlefield.<br/>

RE: Artillery ammo consumption

<t> Um a couple of things:<br/>
Ammo carriers / dumps have "infinite" ammo but restricted rate of resupply<br/>
Some rocket artillery is designed to fire all rockets in a single volley. Fewer rocket artillery units fire only part of their supply in one volley.<br/>
You need a lot of ammo resupply ...

RE: help! annoying "black outs"!

<r> The way the old DOS engine displays the graphics causes a couple of problems. The first common problem is when the graphics go "on acid" which I presume to be caused when the 256-color palette is dropped from the video card memory (caused by switching away from the game). <br/>

RE: Cheater?

<t> Does he have 19 loads and 19 quits or 19 loads and x number of quits?<br/>
<br/>
If it is 19 / 19, then that just means a lot of short sessions. Cheating, at least in the most common way, wouldn't result in those numbers. However, as another suggested, if there are a lot more loads than quits ...

RE: Any particular Reasoning

Without commenting on all of that rate of fire stuff, firing with line of sight increases chances of casualties (50% more damaging) while firing without line of sight increases suppression (50% more suppression) (from manual IIRC).

RE: my cents 2

<r> Here is my two cents on the situation:<br/>
<br/>
Older DOS games relied on infinite loops in their programming structure:<br/>
<br/>
while(1){ the whole program} <br/>
<br/>
or <br/>
<br/>
while(no user input){}<br/>
part of program that reacts to input<br/>

SP:WaW is lousy in how it asks for resources so it will run your computer to the max. I don't believe it taxes the video card to the max though.<br ...
