It is a feature that can be disengaged!...Then it only appears for certain killing shots!...

Hitting a human silhouette has other consequences than just seeing it collapsing to hit the ground!

I know that it can be turned off. I think it's kind of interesting...but no guy can watch what I did in the demo and not think about how much that would hurt.

[biosthetique]

By the simple fact that you are asking yourself the question, and reflect on what could be happening for the other guy, makes that game interesting.

In contrast to so many other shooters where players don't care to wonder with empathy what could be happening for the enemy, and comment "Get some! Yeah!".

Sniper Elite V2 could be the Tactical shooter that triggers empathy in a very unique way!

Interesting isn't it!

I agree.

You have to think realistically in ballistics. That's what I like. I have the original game's demo on my Computer. It's also fun...but it doesn't have the X-Ray vision thing.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Having played Sniper Elite V2 I like the fact that you have to take into account everything in the situation before you squeeze the trigger and afterwards. I think of Sniper Elite V2 as a tactical shooter since you have to think about every move you make long before you ever make it," If I move here I can see the enemy better but would this spot make it easier for them to attack me? If I shoot from here can the enemies get to me and if so do I have a path of escape? If I shoot enemy C first, should I do so when enemies A,B, and D are in an area where they can't fire and to move to a spot where they can would expose themselves to my fire?" What I also like is how every mission is dynamic, sure it starts and ends the same but everything in-between can be different.

See, Russians do try to bite the bullet.

Lock On Flaming Cliffs 2 Su-25 Grach CAS strike against German IFVs near Krasnodar Kuban region USSR 1989.

My flight was the second flight of the three hence the already destroyed hulks.


Pulling away from my first pass I got my target sometimes you have a bad day other times you have a good one this was a good day for me.I killed two Marder IFVs and one M113APC that was in a road formation.One pass for each before rounds where completed.The AI tends to pull one pass and then split.
We only took a few minor hits from the 20mm cannon shells fired by the Marder IFVs.

I know I did not design the game I just play it.That being said in that region of Russia there are not very many trees to hide under so no option for concealment.The game also makes up for that by having a fairly healthy amount of Gepards,Stinger MANPADS,Rolands,and Hawk batteries present.The Rolands in particular are very difficult to evade successfully.

That is the first mission in the campaign and in it the Germans are making a heavy push and stretched thin.In every other mission it is fairly difficult to hit your target and walk away undamaged if you plane even manages to hit the target at all.

On the next mission I just managed to hit two M109 paladins in return I got hit by two stingers which destroyed the left engine and all of my electrical generators as well as knock dozens of holes in my fuel cells and I ran out of fuel far from base and had to eject over friendly territory.

[Stealhead]

Hey, in Halo 2 and Halo 3 you could find a floating half-naked guy.

Sounds exciting.:yeah:

Back in the olden days games had tons of very clever Easter eggs.A good example the Fallout(first title 1997) series they call the item that makes you more intelligent Mentats.Mentats comes from a type of human in Dune who are highly intelligent and can think like computers.They drink something called sapho juice which greatly increases their abilities.So in Fallout they have that little Easter egg where the drug that makes you smarter for a time are called mentats. That is just one example of an old school game that has many clever Easter eggs.It was not uncommon back then.

[Dowly]

^ Yeah, that. And there just were a ton of them. Build engine games (Duke 3D, Shadow Warrior, BLOOD etc.)
usually had easter eggs based on movies or other games. Like in Duke 3D you can
find the dead "Doom guy" or dead Luke Skywalker from an ice cave. Shadow Warrior
has the above killer rabbit from MP's Holy Grail, you can find Lara Croft chained up and so on.

Always liked BLOOD's easter eggs, only can remember two: You can find frozen
Jack Nicholson as you are navigating through a snowy maze (Shining).
Another one is the room from the movie Seven where the killer kept the
guy after he had chopped off his hands and legs.

[Stealhead]

This could really be its own thread but if I could think of one thing that is to blame for how the typical video/PC today is less creative than they where 12 to 20 years ago it would be demographics.

Everyone is so obsessed with demographics because they think this is the best way to sell the most products.The thing is by trying to please everyone you wind up with something shallow because it tries to be too many things.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall of the meetings when Ubisoft was talking about the next Brothers in Arms and they went with that utter crap concept they had Brothers in Arms:Furious Four.I would have been a mosquito carrying Malaria so I could infect the stupid morons who thought that was a good idea.Just read this article with one of the game developers his excuse was they had run out of ideas...really read freaking history book Battle of the Bulge you twit or even in the last game the guy with the glasses that you see in flashbacks he says "I hope you like snow" I guess he was talking about cocaine not the snow during the Battle of the Bulge.
http://kotaku.com/5939896/brothers-in-arms-furious-four-is-no-more-its-now-an-entirely-new-game


That is why I like Kickstarter it allows someone to have a niche idea and get the money from the ones who actually want the product.If you get enough money you can get investors to give you more because you prove to them that your game is wanted by a demographic group so much that they will give money to support it.

The same can be said about other form of entertainment movies for example.

Ever see the GameFly commercial about the guy who buys a bad game?

He throws his TV out of his top floor window and knocks everything off the shelves...

I was so close to doing that when they announced Furious Four.

We had Inglorious Basterds....WE DON'T NEED A GAME OF IT! WE NEED BIA IN THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE!!!!

I'm with you on this, WHAT IDIOT THOUGHT THIS UP?!?!?!?!

I am a huge fan of the series...and I feel personally violated whenever this game is mentioned. I even read a statement at one point that they DO plan on finishing the Matt Baker story...but AFTER Furious Four.

Indeed so, I put it at a similar level to RO2 in terms of atmosphere, although certainly in terms of graphics and hit realism RO2 has the upper hand being a newer and devoted engine, but when you're playing a map with 70 odd people on it, like Tobruk, when you're trying to hold the line against a heavy onslaught of German armour, air and artillery, you can be getting absolutely slaughtered in terms of deaths, but it is so atmospheric that the frustration of being blown to smithereens is lessened.
What server do you play on? The 762 seems to be the most active of them at the moment, I wanted to get into the whole WaW thing, but I can't play at the required times for a guaranteed length of time.

[Biggles]

I join whatever server is most populated. Ping usually isn't a problem for me, since I think that most of those servers are European. In PR on the other hand....ugh...

I like to play as sniper/artillery spotter whenever I can, depends on the map obviously.

I'd love to play more PR, but the communication and teamwork element means that I struggle in most of the big name servers since I can't use teamspeak or mumble during most of the day since the computer is in the living room with everyone else and trying to watch the television with me yelling about incoming enemy fire just wouldn't work :haha:
So, FH2 is nice in that these things are as essential as they are in PR, although I do love PRs graphics, sounds and well, its goal.
By the way, you might want to give this FH2 soundmod a try, I grabbed it yesterday and had a bash last night and I like it, gives it a whole new edge for me:

http://www.762-ranking.de/forum/showthread.php?206-Watchtower-s-FH2-v2-4-Sound-Conversion-v2-0

It works fine with the 762 servers, I have no idea about the others because 762 is the only one I use these days because it's the only one that has more than 10 people on at a time usually.

From what I've seen it certainly looks a tour de force, I haven't read the books so I'll have an advantage there. Paul, yeah, don't think that much of him, but heck, it's got enough good chaps in there to make up for a couple of bad ones, including Prochnow. Although Vlad Harkonnen always gives me the creeps...I mean...ugh...it's done just a tad over the top for me, but the miniseries version looks a bit better.

[Stealhead]

Sure KSP is good there is a thread in here someplace about KSP it just has not been posted in lately.


Lots to do and play around with and tons of mods.Only thing is it is still in development so after each Beta update some mods do not work and get updated or get updated to make use of improvements.That being the only downside keeping up with changes and mods.

You can make rovers and probes as well as shuttle type designs or a traditional rocket.It can get pretty advanced.

You can get it from https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/ or Steam and both have a demo.

Sure KSP is good there is a thread in here someplace about KSP it just has not been posted in lately.


Lots to do and play around with and tons of mods.Only thing is it is still in development so after each Beta update some mods do not work and get updated or get updated to make use of improvements.That being the only downside keeping up with changes and mods.

You can make rovers and probes as well as shuttle type designs or a traditional rocket.It can get pretty advanced.

You can get it from https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/ or Steam and both have a demo.

Thanks I'll check it out! :up:

I love it. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series has been one of the better game series I've played (and replayed) in the past. Too bad that the CoP turned into kind of "CoD rail shooter" at the end). I would LOVE to have S.T.A.L.K.E.R. environment game placed in Fallout 3 free-roaming style.

Wow! Beautiful mod!

I'd like to hear more about that one... :hmmm: :)

[Stealhead]

I tried Misery but it just kept stuttering on my system.I think it is optimized with a higher end system in mind.I read a few places that you need 8GB RAM to run it smoothly as is with out running extra tweaks.

That is a few notches above my PC belt.From what I saw though it did look pretty harsh.which is a good thing far too many hand holdly games out there.And Misery makes the base version of STALKER seem very easy.

Maybe there are tweaks I can make.:hmmm: I have an older rig though.I see some info on the Misery web page about fixes.Anyway When I D/Led and installed it and messed around i was not really in the mood to tweak things so I just uninstalled.When I am in a tinkering mood I will try it again.

At some point I need to upgrade.

@Red not sure what your set up is but Misery might be a bit too demanding for your rig.But any look at the website there are some fixes.

He DOES travel a lot.

[CCIP]

Haha yeah. I'm travelling tomorrow again! But I'll hopefully soon be back for good. Sorry for disappearing, life just threw a bunch of curve balls at me in the last few months, and I'm still getting my bearings. Hopefully I'll settle down again soon.

I haven't played the original CoP - I've really become disappointed in stock STALKER games since getting into some of the more advance modding. I don't want to play the "normal" game anymore. I really wasn't happy with Clear Sky, even after the Complete mod for example - but can tell you right now that with Misery it is anything but a rail shooter. It's brutal, but I've advanced the main quest very little - and from what I understand, it changes the story anyway, and splits it into three different "classes" of characters that you can play, each with their own different quests. It's definitely not a mod for everyone, but because of all the detail and sheer difficulty, I literally spent a week game time just to get to a point where I was "breaking even" - that is, had money to feed myself and have a bit of a reserve on the side and a decent gun. Then I spent another week game time working my way through the first few quests and earning enough for something better than a leather jacket as far as armor. Now I'm ready to tackle a bit more. I'm sure it wouldn't take so long for more experienced players, but wrapping my head around how things work and fighting the utterly brutal AI for even the smallest gain sure took a while.

Stuttering is a bit of a problem in Misery on my system, but i got it to a point where it's tolerable. Again though, I think the title of the mod was a smart move - it's always good to point out that it's not for everyone. It's a brutal, largely gloryless grind to even survive, let alone get anything accomplished. The new features add so much "stuff" that you will often find yourself spending a good chunk of the game day tinkering with stuff in your inventory and figuring out just how to keep your gear in one piece, what to do about the crappy guns you found, and what to eat next. Not exactly riveting adventure. There were a lot of complaints about earlier versions of Misery especially, with some people calling it an "obesity sim" because your character would be constantly tired, hungry, and barely able to carry anything. I can't vouch for that since I only got into it with the current version, of course, but at 2.02 things do seem pretty stable and difficult but playable. Although you will find it almost impossible to do some of the quests, even ones that you get on the first day, until weeks into the game - until you have a hazmat suit and some serious weaponry, you will simply not survive anywhere near certain anomalies and enemies. And earning that suit and weaponry takes an intense amount of grinding. I don't find it as bad as some games' version of grinding, because literally any encounter with an enemy has a very high % chance of you dying and requires lots of skill, but it's still grinding nonetheless. As a survival sim though (and I actually wouldn't shy away from calling it a sim - it's more detailed/overloaded with features than ArmA or its derivative DayZ in some ways), it's pretty satisfying. Mostly because it succeeds at turning the Zone back from a theme park with exciting action rides into a terrifying, miserable, nearly-impossible-to-survive place. It's not "fun" anymore, and I mean that both in good and bad ways.

@RedOctober1984 - yeah, don't bother with Misery for now, it won't run properly on your rig unfortunately. Also did I mention that it's a 2.6GB download? You might be able to get it to run, but you'll probably find it hard to move around without constant stuttering. The main "problem" with Misery is that it increases the distance at which AI entities and objects are tracked by the game, and greatly increases the number of them. Even if you reduce that distance to minimum, you'll find that the game keeps loading new objects every time you move.
One plus (or minus?) is that it massively increases the visual range and engagement range for AI. Most of my firefights in old Stalker were within 30 yards. My average battle against humans now happens at 100 or so. And if any of them have proper rifles, they are brutal and kill me almost as often as I kill them.

[eddie]

I've got a question for either Oberon or Hunter

Is that TS 2014? If it is,how big of a dl are we talking here anyway? I got the new Tomb Raider when it was on sale, and that was almost 11 GB's and took me forever to dl. I hope the new TS isn't any where close to that in size!!

[HunterICX]

Well I have the game since it was known as TS2012 (every year the game updates the base game for free which where something like 400-600mb updates)

but the Hard Drive requirement is 6GB but I guess the download may be a bit smaller depending if you take any extra DLC content with the purchase.

I can always try it out.... :hmmm:

There are certain times I can run a higher-specced game.

I'm honestly surprised I can run Dead Space.

The DL size is a problem, so I'll wait.

[eddie]

Thanks Hunter, still a big dl for me, since I don't have any of it installed at the moment, plus I have a lot of dlc from before. Just don't use it as much as other sims, but enjoy it when I do. Need a much bigger HD!

[Stealhead]

@Red

Dead Space is not a particularly demanding game to be honest though for example it only requires 1GB of RAM and guys with 4GB RAM and more have stutters with Misery.

My PC has these specs(fell the power:yeah:.... not) I have had this same PC since 2008.

Vista 32 bit
Nvdia EVGA GT 440 1GBVRAM(not the original card I went through two 8800GTs one was a refurb)
Q6600 2.40 GHz(quad core so I get a lot of miles out of this)
3GB RAM(but it is a 32bit OS so that is the max anyway)
1680x1050 resolution.
Super awesome fan thingy for melting I mean cooling.

With that Misery was very very stutter laden enough to become very pesky talking a 2~4 second stutter each time.

By comparison I can run a game like Fallout 3 or New Vegas with fairly strong settings and some fairly demanding texture mods and have no real issues.

The most demanding game I own which would be ArmA II I can run that but some settings i must skimp on or suffer a very low FPS.

Of course the thing with Stalker is the X-ray engine which can be very wonky at times.I would suggest loading up the Complete mod for COP see how your PC runs that.I can run that fairly smoothly with some things maxed.If you can run Complete mod with very high settings with no trouble then you might not have much trouble with Misery.

[Stealhead]

Vista 32? :har: I feel sorry for you.


Why? Works pretty good for me unlike lots of Windows 7 and 8 users that seem to have lots of trouble running games.

The only real limitation is 3GB of RAM.It depends on the GPU as well if you use a more powerful GPU one of the top line models you wont get full use of it on 32bit system.Beyond that it really does not matter.On the PC I have the RAM happened to be 3GB which is within the limit of 32 bit so in my case I would not get any benefit from a 64 bit OS.

Post 2008 it is much more logical to have 64bit as CPUs and RAM that need that OS became much more affordable prior to that the 8GB or higher RAM was pretty high end and outside the needs of all but the most hardcore PC gamer that had to have the latest tech.

Now a days 8GB 16GB of RAM is much cheaper.Of course still there are only a few games that really require 6GB or more of RAM to even run half way decently for example the latest DCS stuff.

That is one of the reasons I have not upgraded yet.There really are not any games(I have any interest in) out or on the horizon that my current PC cant run well enough for my needs.

If I am going to spend a large chunk of disposable income it is gonna go towards my two Datsun Z cars or a weekend trip with my family.The cars in particular also result in a return on investment as I can sell them for a profit and then buy other cars to mess with and later sell those.I also buy old tractors and fix those up and sell them but those hobbies pay for them selves largely.An old PC I cannot sell for a profit.

Sounds more like hardware in that case.

At the same time how the software is developed is also a factor.There are so many different systems out there (different hardware components,codecs and such) as well as OS.Even companies that try and do a good bit of QA testing they can not possibly simulate every possible system.So someone out there is always going to have problems.And another factor is that many PC owners do not keep their many drivers up to date just one of those can not jiving can cause a problem.

It also depends on the software some software came out before Win 7 and 8 came along so they can not have even tested for those OS.

Every OS I have ever used had about the same amount quirks to be honest.None of them works perfectly 100% of the time.

Another PC at the house has Win 8 it seems just as useful as any previous OS to me.My wife has a Mac and that OS seems 100 times more intuitive than anything Microsoft can come up with.

Amazing how much the F1 cars have changed and yet stayed the same since the 1980s, the body shape is fairly similar, but the wings and spoiler have changed...and of course, so much else in F1 has changed, not necessarily for the better. Miss those days of Mansell, Brundle, Prost, and Senna. :up:

Nigel Mansell in a mid-'80s Williams. Any more detail and I'd have to resort to looking things up.

Only saw him race in a BTCC round at Brands as a guest racer (v Tiff - no love lost there but plenty of paint was).

I take it this is from the latest F1 game? Any good?
Yep it's from the new F1 2013. Yes it's good. Tire ware is more noticeable, cars handle well, and my favorite is if you have F1 2012 you can skip the lower teams in your career and jump into mid teams.

Why is what appears to be a Japanese H6K or H8K about to attack a German U-boat?:hmmm: Maybe it is supposed to be a Sunderland any way sure as heck looks like the Japanese hinomaru on that plane.

In one pic we see a IX class U-boat then in another pic it looks like a Salmon class boat.Is this all the same battle and why does the Salmon class have a WWI German flag?

Yes. It's an alternate history game. No, not one battle.

US vs. German Empire vs. a Japanese/British Alliance

That's a Sunderland with Jap markings...and there are no Type IX boats in these pictures. The one shown is a VIIC. When I played as the Corvette, I was hunting a Type IX... and ASW is very tough stuff in this game.

Confusing yet? :)

The fun part about it is that you can control the game completely with your voice.

"Ahead one-third, hard to starboard" will be understood by the game. It's really fun. Plus, it was released for free.

:arrgh!:

[Stealhead]

Confusing yet? :)


:arrgh!:
The one shot is kind of an odd angle and with nothing to give me a clear perspective it is hard to tell for sure if that is a 7 or a 9 anyway it looks a tad girthy to be a a type 7 to me but again the angle is long and that will make a smaller boat look bigger than it is.Kind of an angle that allows the two classes to look most similar being exacerbated by not having any crewman to help with perspective.Also not the best graphical representation of a type 7 its lines are not done justice I mean those are not the best saddle tanks.I can see why it is free.

Haha anyway dont think that I'll confuse my boats or aircraft.You ever see those WWII playing cards with the aircraft? My friend had a set of those I told His wife that I could ID every single one of them correctly.She said that I could not and bet me dinner I got all but one right away correctly and one some obscure Italian flying boat I knew that maker but not the exact name of the aircraft since I got 99.5% of the right my friends wife made me dinner.

[Red October1984]

Well yes when the second screen says IX in the description it appears to be the orders for the U-boat.Also the one shot is kind of an odd angle and with nothing to give me a clear perspective it is hard to tell for sure if that is a 7 or a 9 anyway it looks a tad girthy to be a a type 7 to me but again the angle is long and that will make a smaller boat look bigger than it is.

I shoulda labeled them...

But the 7 seems to be normal sized in the game. The shot with the IX in the description is the Tac Map for the Corvette. That was right after a DC run I made...except ASW is impossible in this game.

There is also a thread for Silent Hunter 4 patrol reports which also has a large number screen shots

Taking these into consideration and also the fact that this thread is called other games screen shots(other than Silent Hunter3,4,5) there is absolutely no reason to have posted this shot here.

Not trying to razz you or anything just kind of hard to see why you posted that shot here considering the above and the fact the two dedicated threads are at the top of the SH4 page which you are fairly active in.

You still have no use for it.:sunny:

I do not care what screen you post here even a useless random shot but it can not be from any Silent Hunter game at least not 3,4 or 5.

Too bad it has lower sound level in the interior compared to the other trucks.

Tried modding the game_data.sii in def.scs by editing the interior sound volume. Archived it and put it in the mod folder. But it doesn't work. :-?

Tried editing the volume of the different rpm levels as well, but that didn't help either. <Solved>

I've avoided using the Volvo trucks due to that before, have to turn up the volume for the speakers to hear the engine. But then the exterior sound is LOUD.

Other trucks are fine.


Perhaps they have better sound proofing compared to other truck brands.

EDIT:

Write protecting seemed to have done the trick somehow.

Edited the rpm volumes in the interior.sii in the Volvo truck folders and it's a bit better volume wise now. :D

[Stealhead]

Volvo trucks sold in the US are known for their performance and luxury and the FH16 clearly is the top trim of the European market Volvo trucks so the quite cab is not a mistake.Being mainly open road driving on this side of the pond all the US market Volvo truck are long nosed but the high trim ones are very nice inside.

Though honestly for the purposes of the game it is a bit too cozy sound wise.

What I like most about the FH16 is that they are very fuel efficient even the 600HP engine I average around 30L/100KM.I like the highest HP EEV engine even better I average about 25L/100KM with that engine.

[Red October1984]

Skybird, I should take pictures for you when I go hunting this weekend.

It's deer season...there's a spot that has a great view out off a mini-mountain over cornfields.

[Skybird]

We could trade shots. I have over two hundred like the above. :D

[Red October1984]

Yours will look better since they will be taken from a computer...mine will be taken with a cell phone camera... :D

But yeah, I'll send you some shots of the woods when I go. :arrgh!:

[Stealhead]

The 5th picture from the top in the second set from The Hunter reminds me of a forest in the Kaiserslaughtern region I think I was near Waldfishbach.Anyway I was under fairly heavy evergreen canopy on my mountain bike and I came across this trail which went into a much thinker area.

I really wanted to ride down into it but I had been riding all day and the sun was setting so I had to head home.I never did get back to that exact spot again.Anyway the more open area looked much like that picture and the side trail was much darker the sun barely penetrated all the way to the ground it made me fell like I was in Hurtgen forest only no hellish war going on and not winter time either.


Hmmm Have to check out this game it is free by the way.

EDIT: Well that went well it just opens 1,000 pages each time I try to launch the game.

[Skybird]

As guest you are very limited in choice of equipment and shooting licenses, but now guests can visit all reserves. The species vary in their activity patterns, but a good time to hunt is from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. (virtual time).

If you join a MP session, please behave and do not run around like Rambo, shooting at any opportunity - you spoil the hunt for the others, if they are close to you. You may shoot at another animals than the others, but your shot still can spook their prey. If you approach other avatars, do so carefully and do not give their position away to any animals nearby: don't walk upright, but sneak.

If you get yourself a bad name early on, old hands will remember you - and will not accept you again in their sessions. Best advise is to act in the game the same way you would do when hunting in the real world: move slow, move silent.

[Stealhead]

Well I cant do any of that because when I try and launch the game it just opens page after page on my browser.I seem to be unable to find a fix it is allowed though firewall and everything suggestion they have under support does not work (actually most of those where set as they should be for the game to work).

I hunt in real life anyway so I know that you do not go running around like Rambo.I just want to try the basic game before a go any further if I can ever get the game to launch.

I suspect that it did not fully install based on what I have read so when I the back to the house after work I am going to try running the installer again.

[Skybird]

Explorer 10 is known to cause issues for some people. I run Opera 12 on my current installation. Before, I used Explorer 9 for The Hunter. Make sure you meet the specs, gfx especially, and that you did a clean install of the complete files.

[Stealhead]

I cant seem to figure it out I have tired both Firefox and Chrome and it just opens page after page.I made sure that it was allowed through firewall and my anti-virus software and nothing.

My specs are well within the recommendations.Tried uninstall and reinstall re-boot PC still it just opens page after page i have to kill the browser process to make it stop.

Honestly I have pretty much surpassed my desire to try and get it to work.

They always base the wear of the booine hat on how it would be worn in the rear in combat most guys pin the front bill upwards to keep the bill out of the eyes.That or you wear it tipped towards the rear for the same reasons.

Not sure why everyone does not copy the Aussie boonie they first wore in Vietnam it solves this issue by having a very short front bill and longer rear bill so you just flip it around to suit the situation.The IDF have the right idea copy the Aussie hat.The US military saw the Aussie hat and said yuk foreign design change it.

Very cool! Though hopefully that's not a meeting that ended in collision :D

***

And here below I'll post a sort of AAR/screenshot log of my recent foray into the just-released CMRT (Combat Mission: Red Thunder) - which by the way is excellent and even in my first few missions has resulted in some of the most intense and nail-biting action I've ever had in a CM game. It's been violent and unforgiving - I'm not a reckless player, but assaulting a well-prepared German defense line with a battalion of lightly-supported infantry is a difficult proposition. Even though much of the attack successfully flanked and hit German positions from the rear, the fighting still amounted to largely human wave assaults. At the end of the battle, only 59% of Soviet troops that started the fight walked away from the battle - 41% of the battalion (or 267 of the total 649 troops) were casualties. Things were even worse for the Germans though, with 82% of their soldiers dead or badly wounded by the end of the fight. In the end, Soviet forces won, and I give you...

SOVIET ASSAULT
June 23rd, 1944 - Orsha region of Belarus

http://i.imgur.com/Ge1LuZ0.jpg
After crossing the Sukhodrovka river without resistance, the Soviet troops stop at the edge of the woods and swamps, looking for the German troops. There is only sporadic fire from the enemy positions in the first few minutes of the battle.

http://i.imgur.com/MyydwwI.jpg
The soldiers and a company of supporting SU-76 self-propelled guns pull up to the edge of the woods, probing the enemy position

http://i.imgur.com/sj5YRxx.jpg
For the Motherland!
The 3rd and 2nd companies of the 1st battalion, 167th Guards Regiment, follow the scouting sappers into the forest, having already checked for enemy mines along the treeline.

http://i.imgur.com/bUnG7pS.jpg
At last, the first line of German defenses reveal themselves, dug in along the southern flank of the advance. The Germans are well-prepared for the Soviet attack...


....well, most of them :doh:


http://i.imgur.com/agrTfmx.jpg
Hey.. what did you say, Fritz? I can't hear you!
What do you mean "Ivan"? Where? I don't see any Russians...

http://i.imgur.com/AUHMBmK.jpg
With support from the SU-76 guns, 2nd and 3rd company quickly clear the first line of German trenches with relatively few casualties. The Germans are quickly sent packing...

http://i.imgur.com/cK9ZSJF.jpg
However, a few hundred meters further, the 2nd line of defenses is far better fortified, built around 3 positions of reinforced wooden bunkers and AT guns like these.

http://i.imgur.com/NZRAuGL.jpg
Soldiers of the 3rd company move up as MG teams suppress the enemy strong point.

With the 1st company held back, 2nd and 3rd companies have already pushed in and probed these positions along the far southern flank. It is therefore decided that rather than advancing through open ground at the center, we'll try to flank them through the woods. 3rd company will pin the German position with fire across a swampy pond on the side, while 2nd company will sneak up through the woods to their rear.

http://i.imgur.com/E9EYicF.jpg
Meanwhile, 1st company scouts do some recon along the open ground in the center.
Craters left by the 300mm Katyusha rocket bombardment prove to be good cover for a whole infantry squad!

http://i.imgur.com/IQyJuIa.jpg
The scouts quickly discover an even bigger strong point in the center, and are forced to quickly fall back to the craters by heavy fire and casualties.

http://i.imgur.com/ZeE34kf.jpg
A squad of 3rd company's AT rifles take a break in the recently-occupied German forward trench

http://i.imgur.com/7uEJrDx.jpg
Soon, things start getting ugly, though. On the edge of the woods, 3rd company come under heavy and accurate mortar fire. 30 casualties are inflicted in the space of a couple of minutes - among the killed is the company's commander.

http://i.imgur.com/YfzNYI9.jpg
But our Soviet scouts won't be outdone - they quickly return the favour by directing accurate mortar fire to suppress the enemy position at the center.

Despite all the fireworks, though, the position remains largely intact...

http://i.imgur.com/epWWJtr.jpg
...and continues firing. Accurate fire from an enemy 75mm AT gun, along with mine fields, deny the forward troops some of their direct fire support.

[CCIP]

http://i.imgur.com/7B0F21t.jpg
Soon, however, the sneaky 2nd company manages to stealthily circle through the woods and spring an attack on the first strongpoint from behind. A single SU-76 even manages to drive through the woods with them and give them much-needed support.

http://i.imgur.com/t3lyZPf.jpg
The Germans are taken by surprise and heavy fighting ensues - but they are not keen on fleeing their position.
Here, Fritz has his Michael Bay moment.

http://i.imgur.com/rEt8ieV.jpg
It seems like the position is mostly mopped up when flamethrowers clear the forward bunker - but Germans continue fighting from the nearby woods.

http://i.imgur.com/gA83Fy9.jpg
Now that the southernmost strongpoint seems cleared, the 1st company - until now held in reserve - rush forward as a human wave to try and flank the central enemy fortifications. For the Motherland!

http://i.imgur.com/y5DyAeL.jpg
Even as they advance to the treeline, though, yet another very accurate mortar barrage begins falling on their heads.

http://i.imgur.com/kezS4PF.jpg
But that will not stop the Soviet soldier! As explosions flash around them, the troops run forward to the firing line, using the big rocket craters as cover.

http://i.imgur.com/Q6JIaMd.jpg
Even as some are cut down, their comrades continue their advance

http://i.imgur.com/iOoKxPY.jpg
Careful not to fall into the sights of powerful German AT guns, the self-propelled fire support vehicles move through the smoke and dust kicked up by enemy mortars, just behind the 1st company's troops

http://i.imgur.com/8QOZfVF.jpg
As the 1st company pins down the central fortification's flank, the 2nd company has already moved into the enemy rear and begin clearing out the trenches in another surprise attack.

http://i.imgur.com/BlZIMDr.jpg
Bitter fighting ensues. Here, the brave lieutenant commanding the 2nd company leads his troops into the melee.

He seems keen to find some Germans.

http://i.imgur.com/pDGqfcj.jpg
-Say, Fyodor, do you see any fascists on the horizon?
-No, comrade lieutenant! No Germans in sight within 500 meters!

:hmmm:

http://i.imgur.com/R55njeI.jpg
-Fyodor, what was that noise? Fyodor?

http://i.imgur.com/eHuXyz1.jpg
-Oh no, you're kidding! Vassily, don't just stand there, do something!
-But what must I do, comrade lieutenant?
-USE YOUR SPECIAL MOVE!

http://i.imgur.com/OYqhK16.jpg
With the central trenches now mostly cleared, the 2nd company and the sappers that helped them with recon continue sweeping around the enemy's flank, reaching for a 3rd and last major enemy position, seeking to complete the Soviet breakthrough...

There, they come upon yet another AT gun

http://i.imgur.com/LH19yXb.jpg

The gun's crew, though attacked from behind, shows little sign of wavering, continuing to fight even with their sidearms as the Soviet soldiers close in.

http://i.imgur.com/3KxCAY6.jpg
The 1st company now occupy the German trenches in the center, providing fire support for this last attack from inside them.

http://i.imgur.com/4gSO9lY.jpg
Nevertheless, the Germans don't give up until the last.

http://i.imgur.com/aD8EAyg.jpg
Only point-blank SMG fire silences the AT position for good.

http://i.imgur.com/AZs9nqL.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/Yn97QYV.jpg
The surprised Germans are temporarily pushed out from the trenches near the AT gun; they quickly re-assemble and try to counter-attack.

http://i.imgur.com/ojfsiJR.jpg
Their grenade-throwing is almost impressive as Soviet martial arts skills...

http://i.imgur.com/6xM0G1X.jpg
...but it is too late to do much. The 2nd company's troops, advancing despite casualties, are already swarming the last of the German trenches.

http://i.imgur.com/0tqeof7.jpg
Soon, the guns fall silent, and Soviet troops scour the trenches for trophies and tend to their casualties, numbering well into the hundreds.

http://i.imgur.com/Cd6vuUu.jpg
German positions are wiped out - most fell where they stood. The AT guns in particular had been deadly - this one alone inflicted nearly 40 casualties on the advancing Russian troops.

http://i.imgur.com/WatSIjd.jpg
Although the supporting self-propelled guns were very effective, travelling through the hazardous woods and swamps took their toll. At the end of the fight, of the 10 SU-76 vehicles, only one was still moving - 4 others fell to mines or enemy fire, while 5 became bogged down in the wet ground and had to be abandoned.

http://i.imgur.com/pBXou0M.jpg
With the German defensive lines broken, troops of the 1st battallion, 167 Guards Regiment advance into the forest to the rear unopposed.

http://i.imgur.com/enlSDJ2.jpg
Nearly an hour and a half after it started, the Soviet assault is declared over. The front is broken, and it is now up to other units to exploit that breech.

It's either WEGO turn-based or real-time depending on your choice. Works better in turn-based mode in my experience, though.

Both CMBN and CMFI have demos you can try (as do Shock Force and Afghanistan, for that matter). Red Thunder should have one at some point if they're continuing that trend...

Ah...i'll probably decide late tonight which one i'll try and then forget about the demo until about Wednesday...but I'll see what I can do i guess.

[CCIP]

I'd recommend giving it a try - and starting with the Normandy demo, since it's technically the most up-to-date and actually has a couple of "real" and fairly big scenarios. There are a solid 20+ hours you can spend playing the demo alone (if you take both "real" missions in it and play them through from both sides).

Combat Mission is great, although I'm obviously a little biased since I've been playing them for 12 years now. I'd also say that all things considered, the graphics are actually great rather than poor - because normally in this type of game, you're moving icons on a 2D map. It's a full-fledged tactical wargame at an extremely high level of realism, where you can command up to battallion-scale engagements in 3D with each and every soldier animated, with destructible objects and terrain, a sophisticated (if quirky and sometimes weird) tactical AI which makes soldiers a little more than just mindless drones that go exactly where you click and die with no questions asked. So there's not really any other one that does what CM does - the closest comparisons are Achtung Panzer/Graviteam Tactics (which certainly has similar tactical depth, but lacks breadth and is real time/single player only) and Close Combat (which, however, is purely 2D) series. Every other strategy game out there with a similar level of graphics is a toy by comparison.

There's a fair bit of homework (manual reading and learning) and a while that it takes to wrap your mind around how it really works and where the reward of playing something like Combat Mission is, but once it clicks you'll never want to go back :D

[Valantine]

With regards to CM - I've been thinking about it for a while but it not being available on steam is a big part of me not picking it up yet.
Anyhow, my question: is your force persistent; so losses matter and keeping the same soldiers alive through several battles sees them gain veterancy or anything like that? Or is it just a string of single battles with different forces each time?

And since it is a screenshot thread I suppose I should share some from recent 53rd missions in Fallujah in arma 3:

I doubt it will ever be available on Steam. Battlefront seem rather keen on maintaining control of their most valuable property.

What you're talking about is basically covered by the concept of "core units" in CM2x-speak. Basically, some units in any campaign can be persistent and carry over from mission to mission (with possible resupply) - it depends totally on the campaign designer. Some campaigns use a lot of core units, others not at all. Most of the default campaigns that come with the game only have limited use of them since they want to show off the various equipment that comes with the game. But some user-made campaigns use core units very well - there are some, like "In Search of a Ghost" for Shock Force and "Devils Descent" for Normandy (you can read an AAR of it here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=197146 ), where every unit in the campaign is a core unit and you don't get any reinforcements, so you have to really take care of your troops and avoid losses.

That said, CM doesn't have any operational-level gameplay, i.e. the campaigns are scripted and what units you get depends on scenario designer's plans, core units or not. There is no upgrading or gaining experience for troops - though that's only fair because that would be unrealistic; most campaigns for the game are very short (for example, the entire Soviet campaign for Red Thunder takes place in the course of just over 24 hours. Same is true of "Devils Descent" above).

Both of those look pretty good.

I tried out CM earlier...just for 5 minutes or so...I can tell I'll need to do some learning. Graphics are a bit sluggish. I'll have to toy with it a bit and see what I can come up with.

I'd love CMRT but they want $55 for it on their website. :-?

Try turning off shadows (Alt-W in game) and see if that helps. They always makes things a bit stuttery even on my computer, and they don't even look that good...
