Hey guys,

just one simple question, can you hear the tanks in this game??? I don't - just the sound of the cannon and mg but neither rattling of diesels nor squeaking of tracks...

"Speaking of which, I want to emphasize the importance of SOUND CUES in many of these battles. You may not, at first, see any trace of enemy armor, but at some point, that T-34 or that KV will be ordered into action, and the distinct, phlegmy rattle of a big tank diesel coming to life can be heard above all the other racket of a firefight. "

I saw that too and was wondering what he was hearing that I dont here either. But honestly, I question if he is playing the same game I'm playing anyways...here is another quote from that review:
 
Among the main gripes leveled at Close Combat III was the sometimes overwhelming prevalence of Soviet armor. True, the Red Army burned up tanks at a prodigious rate, and after Kursk the Russian side always enjoyed numerical superiority, sometimes to a grotesque degree; but not always or even very often in battles of this limited scale. That imbalance has been corrected
 
I dont know about other people, but I still see a huge amount of enemy armor in most games. Kill all you want, there will be plenty more behind them. That is the reason that I've totally given up on the campaign game...its just not any fun for me to have to fight continuous tank-orgies. Yet somehow he hasnt seen it.

Yes ... BT does have a vivid imagination [:D]

The lack of tank sounds really bugs me.  Hell, stick a generic .wav file in, I don't care.  They're like hovercraft right now.  [8|]
