Re: the best ways to use US Army against Russia

You are fondling my point, but you won't reach out and grasp it.
Soviet MBT's have design flaws built into them. It doesn't matter which ones they export when they ALL are poorly designed.
And...

Re: Fog of war

I was under the impression that a right click just gives one the unit information screen, which would list the possible ammo load out for all units of that type, NOT what that particular unit has...

Re: the best ways to use US Army against Russia

I got side tracked. The solution is to not play the Russians. MBT has many other nations. Avoid playing the ones where the equipment values were lifted off a sales brochure.
The fact is that the...

Re: the best ways to use US Army against Russia

The Problem is the T-90 is WAAAAAAAY overrated (10 to 15%) in game terms.
It looks like some Russian teenager did the numbers for the T90.
An RHAE of 1100mm! Somebody has been deep into the pipe...

Re: Fog of war

I agree that the returns are not worth the investment if you are on a time budget. I'm retired so to me it's rare that the difference between a 2 hour set up and a 3 hour set up doesn't mean much. ...

Re: Fog of war

I used to play that way, but the new arty rules in the latest update have forced me to change the way I use FO's. In the past I stuck one next to my A0 and used that all the time, not being worried...

Re: Fog of war

Imp, if it was a really good trick, why would I go pubic with it?
No, about the only time I use it is when there is snow on the ground and I'm playing with a lot of infantry.
I just used that as...

Re: Fog of war

If the game allows it, I don't consider it cheating. War has no rules, Liberals Lawyers think it does but history keeps proving them wrong.
So if you can invent something within the game system...

Re: Fog of war

Somthing I never understood was why the Soviets didn't put extra antenna on ALL of their vehicles. SOP for NATO forces was to shoot the vehicles with extra antennas first to kill the leaders. If I...

Re: Fog of war

No point if the other player knows. Deception is the essence of warfare.
I'm playing an opponent, not his equipment. If I can make him think I'm attacking on the top of the map when I'm actually...

Re: Fog of war

I will sometimes rename my FO units. Only when they are conversions of a standard vehicle. HMMWV's are a good example. Change the FO Hummer to say 1097 HMMWV or what ever and it seems to help. I...

Re: A Few Questions

I rarely 'Z' key. I figure that is why mortars were invented.
And I presumed technological equivalency. I am quite aware of the difference in effective ranges between a M9 Beretta and a MX-1...

WinMBT PBEM

I need more game. Not too picky about dates and countries. Lots of experience, average player.
I have played as a 'mentor' off the Blitz site and am available for training games, if anyone wants...

Re: turn 0 replay

Basic logic says you cannot replay what hasn't happened. I actually like using the + key to set the first bombardment to turn 1 or 2. IIRC, the Units start the game in cover, which means a turn 0...

Re: truck trick vs pgm strikes

Another solution is to turn off your PGM if there is a truck around.
IIRC, the game is hard coded to make trucks a priority target for an air strike. I seem to remember this from a thread at the...

Re: A Few Questions

Suhiir, the Germans did that a lot in WW2. They normally used an obsolete light tank with only a driver aboard. I presume the driver has upset the Hauptmann somehow. They called it "trailing the...

Re: A Few Questions

That and the speed. An elephant with all his war kit on might hit 10KPH tops. Compare that to a MBT moving at 30+. With a fast MBT, deception tactics are possible. You also have to consider that...

Re: WinSPMBT v4.5 Tourney Players

Not sure if I'm a real opponent but I'm willing to bang away until you find one. Slot 05 or 06, I forget which right now is taken but my other 249 slots are empty and begging to be filled. So to...

Re: Imp The Antagonist

Italy, " joebroz@lycos.com "
I would prefer some time after the fall of the Soviet Union. Shortly after, say 90 to 93. Scenario is that in this universe there is a major Civil war and it spills...

I have, but that was a loooong time ago. DOS days. I think maybe even pre-modded Sp2. Don't exactly remember. Local Model shop had a big room where we would play board games. Several of us...

Re: the best ways to use US Army against Russia

Be sneaky. Capitalist are sneaky, so their war making reflects that. Watch your ranges. Set the range so that you are not taking long range low percentage shots. If you have the CD version, use...

Re: Engineers and secondary explosions

Re: PBEM Campaign

Your 80x80 will do, so long as there are arty limits. What I'm trying to avoid is the all arty battle that was in vogue a decade or so ago. 15,000 points of arty and just saturate the map. It...
