Who knew that phrases like “I am treating like this ‘44,” “these ATGMs are no javelins” and “the tanks are taking multiple hits” would get me so excited. This sounds like it is shaping up to be the premier of the series.
I like the WW2 and modern titles (some players favor one or the other.) This has elements of both. Tanks are still king, but ATGMs are starting to challenge that.
Great work, as always MJS. Love the Protect and Survive public information film at the end. I remember them well. I'm just off to stick an old curtain over a hole I have in the wall. That will keep the nastiness out 😂
I'm just trying to figure out where all this running water comes from.....after a nuclear war. Were the water mains in the UK shielded from megatonnage?
@@MegalonJonesSlattery nope, just a statement to make us feel that all will be OK. Positive psychological propoganda. Like the one that told us to make a lean to against an inner wall, using a door with the open ends stuffed with cushions....hey presto, you have a home made nuclear blast shelter....oh, and you've got three minutes to build it
Great vid megalon looking forward to getting this game myself, however i had to stop and remember the outro vid about seeing to your home in the event of nuclear aftermath they didnt tell us then that the house would no longer be standing lol, incredible how naive we were back then thanks for the memories, looking forward to more, ooh! i just noticed ther's a part two all best.
This was the 1st scenario I played. I won but with more losses than you. Air burst artillery is a great way of making the tanks button up and degrading their spotting.
Not done with the scenario yet! Part Two will be coming soon. I expect 8th GA stills has more to throw at me. You are absolutely right about the spotting. It's vital to keep your tank CO opened up. As I ended this, they were starting to put arty spotting right at my right flank M60's. Going to have to move them.
Thanks. I'm not quite through the scenario yet. I'm still waiting for the anvil to drop. I lucked out with the opening barrage. That could have been real nasty if I hadn't already put everyone on the flanks at setup. Is this one of your creations?
@@jsilva4595 Its great fun watching someone else explore something that you poured a lot of sweat into. I will watch as many of these as I can... the long ones are a challenge. ;)
i love CMBB, and this WW3 title is driving me nuts, i can't wait till it's ready! how do you have a version of it, did you buy it? it's 7/3/21 as i write this
Yes. First thing I always do is mod the weapons effects. If you like, I can point you to the particular mod.....community.battlefront.com/topic/134727-special-effects-mix/
Wow! Nice job with the M60A2s. I thought you were gonna get end up having to rely on the Dragons, not the other way around. Oh, and the reason nobody likes the M60A2s is because they were overcomplicated and unreliable, hence the name "Starship".
God help us if it ever comes down to the Dragon ATGM. They are most definitely not Javelins. Regarding the M60A2: that's one of the things not really within the scope of CM. It kind of goes back to things like the Panther in the WW2 titles. We get the ones that *aren't* having technical issues forcing it's crew to leave it on the side of the road.
@@MegalonJonesSlattery I've heard mixed things about the Dragon on the forum, some people like it and some people don't. I was surprised by the M60s performance because it in your video because it quickly took care of the T72s without any losses. I was under the impression that the Shillelagh ATGM, which the Starship fires, was rather inaccurate like the Dragon (after a bit of research I learned this wasn't true). That, and the fact that ATGMs are less effective against the composite armor in the T72, led me to think that Soviets would rush in and get within the minimum firing range of the Shillelagh of around 780 meters, leaving you to rely on the Dragon. But the T72s stopped in the killzone, and your Starships made short work of them. Again, you set up a great defense with the M60s in stationary, hull-down positions, so nice job.
@@bobtank6318 against a human player, this would be a much more difficult fight. Coordinating a pre planned barrage with a rush of T-72s across the fields to get within the shillelaghs minimum range, which is quite far. Then they only really have the dragons, which have been unreliable in my experience against the later soviet tanks. When I played the mission, the soviet ai did much the same, chilling at long range while they got picked off by the m60s. Each one of my m60s got 2-3 T-72 and multiple bmp kills. None of my other forces even got a shot off because nothing came within range.
@@jsilva4595 I agree. A human player would probably rush all three tank platoons en masse and overwhelm the US side with too many targets at once. However, in reality the Soviet CO wouldn't really have the specs on the Shillelagh ATGM and might do exactly what we see the AI do. The arty strike at the opening might be different and try to smash up as much of the forward hull down position as possible rather than shooting the rockets dead center. In fact, this scenario might be a candidate for replay as the Soviets with the AI handling NATO or H2H.

Berlin to Barbarossa.. damn... Between that Title and the DAK Title.. 100's of hours. Awesome game play and totally dig this channel. Semper Fi.

Always liked the vibe of your videos. This is no expectation. Good job, and man, Cold War is awesome!!
Thanks a ton!

Thanks a bunch!
what an intro...Mini Flick, Greeley '78 lol
Outstanding work! You certainly seem to have figured this one out, great job.

@@MegalonJonesSlattery No, this is MIkeyD's masterpiece. Look forward to part 2.
It's great seeing you watch all these playthroughs, Bil. I'm having a blast with it, definitely a different beast than other combat missions.

The enemy AI seems quite dumb. You should play against a human commander.
PMSL!!! YEAH!! love the intro!! dig it...
Starships are in fact,M60
Nice vid! Good vibe. Remember that the AI sets you up to wipe red forces!
Great content! Appreciated.
Thanks for stopping by!

Sorry for the late reply! Go here www.battlefront.com/cold-war/cmcw-base-game/
This game looks phenomenal
It is. This is the only game I've ever pre-ordered.
What level do you play at?
Sorry for the late reply. I play at 'Iron' setting with WEGO.
Nice video. Do you use mods ? The smoke is better than in the older games.

If world war three had started, then god help us all.
Great video, but your presentation needs more energy. Too laid back.
That IS my excited mode. (LOLs) Thanks for the input!
