What is says is what it does. Did we say anything about less kills ?? We are telling players not to be surprised if they see a "mine" appear after cluster munitions are fired because cluster muntions are notorious for leaving unexploded ordanace that can go off at the slightest touch and this is our way of simulating that. However. I know it's only a matter of time before somebody reports this as a "bug".

16) Cluster munitions will now occasionally leave unexploded bomblets. These are treated as artillery mines.

Will certainly make it intresting in confined spaces like town you could inadvertantly block the road or get lucky & block the path for reinforcements or escape.
Cheers for all the hard work much appreciated

Well if some of the ammo that could hit a vehicle do not hit the vehicle but instead turn into mines then it could mean they have less chances of hitting a vehicle than not, depending on the exact mechanics/code. It was a valid question. I don't see a reason to act this upset about my question.

Don is not upset, you have not even seen him upset, let it rest bro.

Just giving you a friendly warning.

I don't think its a more or less hit issue, but more of a residual effect from the bombardment. A way to take account for those extra bomblets that would have missed anyway.

You where the one who read into the answer things that werte not there.

Think it through...... cluster munitions are fired. Some hit, some miss and some that miss don't explode. It has NOTHING to do with taking away from any hits that may be made on their way in and has everything to do with the ones that DO NOT hit anything and don't explode on contact with the ground and lay there on the battlefield until someone steps on or runs over them. This creates one or maybe two mines sometimes. Nobodys going to be making minefields this way and yes, one may just end up someplace that's awkward for either player

I love this feature (may not be a fan when I runover one of my own CM's but C'est l'guerre ) and the CM Rocket load-time change.
