Last couple days have been a feast for Combat Mission AARs. Josey Wales, Kaunitz, and now a new hapless video. It's interesting to see how you guys variously approach making these massive and technically intricate battles comprehensible to us plebs. Genuinely curious about your next video series!
@@usuallyhapless9481 The gray eagle being immune to AA is really crazy. When I played that mission I just took defensive positions with the abrams until I managed to find and destroy the AA vehicle with the drones and let arty + the helicopters do most of the killing. With the raven and gray eagle it really feels like the americans have very little need for ground troops to do sead
They are not. The intro is some editing trickery. Broadly speaking, fixed or rotary wing aircraft are either going to be nowhere near a CM battlefield (due to stand off weapons) or pass over it so fast it's not worth rendering them.
The first time I know something's there is when something blow up, maybe not even then. Also where I learned that tanks can actually hide... But not me when I put something against trees it only blinds me... If not for extensive save scumming and UAV I would have had a disaster very quickly.
Cheers man! I'd love the engine to be updated, both in terms of graphics and ease of use, but given that the game is made by such a tiny team it seems pretty unlikely.
This is just my cup of tea, don't stop please.

Thanks very much man! Next series is going to be an in-depth Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg game by the looks of it.
Good hunter-killer work with the Gray Eagle. Exactly how I would do it.
Yeah. If it wasn't supposed to be unfair, the drones would amount to cheating.

Welp, looks like I missed opening day. Let's see how this one turns out!
Congratulations on the victory!
Cheers man!
Nicely done!
Fantastic videos, keep up the hard work
Nice, loved the series. Are you doing the expansion campaigns next? :D
Maybe :P
I love your videos. They are well produced. Did you use turn based when making this video or real-time. You are one of the best!
Turn based is easier- you can go back and replay everything to catch it from whatever angle you want
Hey dude just asking, I saw in your intro ( great video by the bro) that there was a helicopter in the air, in Black sea are aircraft rendered

@@usuallyhapless9481 thanks dude

Amazing
Will there be a Russian campaign next?
Its a possibility!
What all mods do you use? This looks incredible
Its all Kieme's and Vein's mods, with the HQS sound pack on top. Except the close up and the Apache in the intro. That's ARMA.
Did you forget to turn your mic on?
Great game. I wish they would get rid of this awful "engine" they use and pay more attention to presentation. I bet it would make it more popular.

@@usuallyhapless9481 Yeah, I know, it's a bit of shame. I am still going to buy Shock Force 2 when it's out.
