Just finished installing without any problems, ran the first Sinai campaign scenario to see how it looks&runs- very impressed by the new effects and lighting, trees, foliage and graphics in general are much improved! Very nice. Performance is not great, but neither is my PC ( i7 920@2.67GHz / GTX690{4GB VRAM} / 12GB RAM ).

Thanks to everyone at esim for the outstanding work!

Oh, hey!! We have the same CPU gen! Mine is an i7 960 3.2GHz.

-Infantry, now crawl less and shoot more.

-Snipers, they are deadly now, one shoot, one kill

-Transparency for ground cover in thermal sights, is interesting how that small change can improve playability a lot.

-On the AAR the option to look for events only in the area of the map you are looking, very useful for big MP missions.

Nice job. Like what I see.

 

I noticed a little thing that appeared in my sight when I shot at vehicles. I thought it was a piece of the vehicle I hit flying off, but I think its the part that the projectile is wrapped around that discards when the round leaves the gun. I don't recall seeing that before. I have everything cranked to max and it runs smooth. I have a decent system and I'm a casual player so I can't be the final word on performance

A sabot petal, yes. :)

I'm liking the PzH 2000, and the M1711A1/A2 Assegai ammo.  The ability to restrict ammunition for off-map artillery is great for people that use off-map artillery.  The optional altitude restriction for helicopters is good, as is the boosted willingness of infantry to fire their anti-tank weapons.  The tracers look nice too.  Excited to have MLRS, but it's a little tiny bit bittersweet because DPICM kills are still a little wonky in how they're handled in the mission report+AAR.  The JIM-LR is great too, and I bet it'll be even better once I figure out how to switch it to thermal.  Still testing things and will report back with more of the nice.

One of those wiki pages we need to type up.... (JIM-LR).  😑

I don't know if it is new to 4.1, but I noticed while creating missions that you can edit the infantry to dismount and automatically coordinate movement and suppression with their APC.

Is this something new?

 

Cheers,

Sorta-kinda. We had this once, we broke it a long while ago, we now rebuilt that function from scratch with an entirely different approach. Hopefully it'll be more robust against code changes.

Thanks for your response. It works like a charm right now. The dismounted infantry even does suppressive fire if that tactic is pre-programmed for the vehicle. I will make a video to demonstrate this in the editor.

 

Cheers,

I'm enjoying the new sounds(maybe it is new? I don't remember, haven't played SB for a while) for the tank guns. The closets tank sounds way more powerful than the one that is further from you. I love it! I especially like the attention to detail in regards to sound delay.

Looking forward to that video El_Chacho! Having a blast with 4.157 but that working/enhanced feature is one of my top wanted ones ^_^

One thing I noticed in my first run through with APS is that they do impact APFSDS, but only reduce the energy or penetration.  Had a BMP-3 fire off an APS round at a sabot and hit it, but the remnants still killed the BMP-3.  Happened three times.   Even TOWs went on to hit T-80s, but with almost no energy.  That is cool.

 

 I came across this video on youtube. Appear to be very effective
