Hey guys, im planning to spend some euros for a new graphic card.

Atm Im still using a Gefore 8800GT which is running out of steam.

I dont want to spend more then 150-200€

My other system is:
Intel Core quad Q6660, 2,4GHz
6GB Ram
64 Bit Win 7.


What can you recommend?
Cheers

So as Im clicking since 5 min up and down to join hslan I wanted to ask if there is any posibilty to make some kind of waiting room or queue. So that you kinda reserve your spot as number X player, and after X player left you automatically join the server. ?
Just asking ?

Tank warfare. Stuff that needs to be changed before the next patch is coming out.

First off: I know that you are working on a totaly new system with the tanks. This is more like a reminder of stuff that needs to be done / fixed on normandy maps and on Africa maps. Africa maps are left behind, they suffered hard from the last 2 normandy patches, and I have the feeling that they might even suffer more from next patch.

1) Remove the 1 Shot 1 Kill at all tanks when you hit the tracks / wheels.
If we look at this pic we can see some important things:

a) the front hull does not touch the ground- logical - so front side of the tracks under the hull should be coded as taking no damage at all
b) the front side of trakcs thats on the same level as the frontal armour should imo be coded as the frontal armour with - 20% weakness
c) The Space between upper side armour and track should be the weakes part and still remain as 1s1k.
d) The wheels should be coded like the thin armour + 40% for 4 wheels. It should damage the tank, but not instanly kill it.

2) Remove cupola 1S1K from Stug and Panzer III on african maps. As far as I know now, not all tanks have this problem.

3) Give NA Panzers the special ammo back so that they have an equal fight with Grants and Shermans.
Grants just had max 50.8mm frontal armour and its not destroyable by long 5cm gun of Panzer III eventhough this gun could penetrate 59mm at 500m with standart ammo.  

4) 2 Pounders in NA still too strong or Panzer III too weak.

5) Make Flakpanzers equal!!
a) Wirbelwind cannot be reloaded manually
b) Wirbelwind cannot aim to the ground because the sigh hatch is closed.
c) Crusader AA has a nice splash damage- Wirbelwind not even close to the strengh, eventhough the caliber was same (sure, the ammo can be different, I dont know, but for fairness they should be more or less equal)

edit:
Planes loose power when they are burning and are falling from skies, can this be done to tanks too?: This could effect engine, so you cant drive anymore / very slow, and turret that you cant turn anymore / very slow.


and just a side note: give US on Ramelle a ammo box for the mortar I think this would be fair against 2 Tigers.


Thanks for reading, and I hope some ideas will find an open ear

So we are trying to kickstart HSLAN again this saturday!

we are not alone:
short text: this guy was traveling around the earth collecting some sort od special meteroits where only 9 are known to exist on earth. He broke them into pieces and look at it with a electron microscope and so he found fosils of alien bacterium.

So in 3 weeks the new total war is coming out.

There is also a demo available on steam. 5GB, Nice tutorial, many new changes, a good mix of Medieval and Empire.

I had all of Total war series since Rome, short comments about the,
Rome: history was cool, many different parties and units, I still remeber that in later times I used to have cavalary armies only conquering whole africa

Medieval: I really loved the idea of the two types of castle and village system. It gave the game another strategy aspect.
Addon: loved the Irish campaing 

Empire: I hated the campaing map, it was some kind of too bright. Also it was kind of too big and in the same moment too small. 3 continents but whole France is one province. Also the detail drop of the playable cities between Medieval and Empire shocked me. Medi: full castle with tons of houses. Empire: 4 walls, 3 buildings . . . 
----------------------------------------

What does Shogun offers you in my point of View:
Detailed villages like in Medieval. Province sieze as in Medieval and big cities and small farmes which you can build up seperatly like in Empire. Naval warfarce like in Empire. A big tech tree for the art of war and peace. There seems to be better diplamtic way.


Who is gonna buy it, what are your statements of the older editions 

Anyone playing dead space 2?
Its a really cool game. Typical horror shooter, with very very nice light/shadow effects, sounds etc. I just have been to the outaspace, flying around there. Now I have to go to the CCR area - which is totaly doomed again.

To kill the monsters you need to cut off their lags- after that you need to trample them to get money and ammo 
(little bug. make sure not to have an joystick plugged in, as the stupid game thinks your pc is now a PS3....)

Since it is requesting time at the moment I request that passengers on tank sit all the time at the back.
At the panther there are 2 seats at the front. If an enemie tank shots at you and hits just the passenger you survive, and just the passenger dies. that is stupid. At the back there is really enough space for all passengers.
