I'm not French, but love the MICA and the Magic anyway.

You used CBU-97s, right? Are they improved in 1.1.0.8?

I am currently addicted to Napoleon total war right now, and hope to get Shogun sometime in the future. I am playing as Prussia in Napoleon and am at 93 turns and loving it. I love the realistic battles and the beautiful campaign map, especially with the Hd 5770 I am running it on. I believe all the naysayers need some serious rehab, because TW has the best turn based strategy gameplay ever!

Succellus... It might be just personal preference, but I absolutely LOVE watching countless troops, mine and the enemy's, getting slaughtered like pigs by a hail of musket fire. Think of the line infantry as one whole man, and he has to shoot at another man with a musket until he wins. That's the deal in Empire and Napoleon. There are ways you can employ other units, such as cavalry, artillery, and light infantry to gain the advantage in battle. If the only reason you don't like Empire and Napoleon is because of the style of warfare, then you're missing out on a lot.

I'm taking a little break from DCS a-10 (it does stuff to you playing it for too long a period you know :) ) and I'm switching to total war for a little while. I'm a rather incompetent battlefield commander, but I still have a lot of fun playing the battles and campaigns. I also plan to get shogun 2 at some pOint or the other. Viva l'Empreur! ( hope I didn't butcher the French too much )

I have this game as well as Empire Total War on my Steam account. I think that the realistic 3D battles and awesome graphics are awesome in every sense of the word. My favorite unit in the game would be a tie between the Old Guard (France) and the Artillerie a pied (France also!). Does anyone on this forum have it? If so, what are your opinions?

I've got a Q9400 quad core processor from Intel.

So does this mean I can run full max with this card?

Hello I got the cheaper version of the hd 5770 graphics card, I had a thread a little while back, was too lazy to get it, so I posted here. Just wanted to knOw if the HD5770 is good or not for dcs a 10. Thanks.

Hey, how will this run: NVIDIA 9500GT w/1000 GB of RAM; Q9400 Core2 Intel Quad core w/ 6 MB cache; 6GB of RAM; and plenty of hard disk space; Red Bezel Chassis :)

Hmm, just a theory here, maybe the datalink problemos are due to no LOS with the JTAC. Just thinking.

How do you use the rudder in RL anyway?

Dude, post the mission you made on here and the HOF and spacing settings you used.

Hmm, i see your point there. Maybe I'll individually drop on each of them when the JTAC orders me to use 97s.

yeah, can you also tell us what HOF settings and spacing you used? very nice job indeed!

Hmm, you mean one cbu-105 can't kill all the guns in one go?

In the Sunset Sierra mission, when you first are trying to destroy the four artillery guns on the farmland, how many CBU-105s or 97s should it take? I tried one CBU-105 at 2200 burst altitude and got only one gun! I then tried another at 1500 burst altitued and it still killed only one gun! Is there a way to drop 105s or 97s so I can get all of them in one go? The artillery pieces are spread pretty far apart. They are spread about 530 meters apart.

Very interesting

Well, in other missions, a.) there is no airborne JTAC and b.) the JTACs in those other missions actually work.

O.K, I've been playing around in the missions and what I find is that for tanks, you must have a low HOF, and everything else's HOF is dictated by its' size. I had good reliable results doing this. Another thing is that the 97 seems to work best when the canister splits when it is right over the target, and that the target be centralized in the bomblet pattern. Just reporting my findings! Hope they help!

Japan's modernazation period displayed in the movie is kind of accurate, everything else is the usual fiction stuff...

O.K, getting some cold hard data on the 97: First trial: ( doing this like a scientific experiment lol :) ) 2 CBU-97 SFWs dropped in PRS over 10 BMP-1s unevenly spread over an area 79 meters tall ( north to south ) and 125 meters wide. bombs were programmed for 1500ft burst altitude, aimed near center of the target area. Repeated trials: 2 Trial one result: seven BMPs immediatly killed, the remaining three caught fire. Trial 2: six BMPs immediatley killed, remaining four caught fire.

Just watched it, very interesting movie for a history guru like me!

O.K, hello???????

Hmm, sounds good, and it is centrifugal force by the way :)
