Combat Mission Units: U304(f)

[@gareththompson2708]

Well this was very informative. I guess it still technically counts as an April fools video since it wasn't about the halftracks we all assumed it would be about.

[@usuallyhapless9481]

It is a bit of a bait and switch

[@lutherburgsvik6849]

3:26 Look at those universal carriers stacked up like that! That's sacrilege!

[@usuallyhapless9481]

Makes for a difficult game of jenga

[@nuttyjawa]

Talking about the side armour instantly took me back to General Bradley in the Patton movie when he's quoting his soldiers thoughts on US Half tracks (and forgive me I cannot remember the quote accurately) "Oh the bullets just come in on one side then rattle around on the inside for abit"

[@dickyneedles8876]

I did get a laugh out of this video, but it was also genuinely informative and entertaining.

[@jinxedchef]

1:20 "Those are awful graphics. Oh no wait, that really is what they looked like. "

[@samargrewal929]

combat mission is about the gameplay not the graphic

@@samargrewal929 And combat mission graphics are actually great and definitely the most realistic war game.

@@maxsomerjoki8147 i never said the graphics are bad in fact i think they still hold up nicely .

Great post Hapless, these are quite the good videos to watch on a rainy day.

[@Wolfman2598]

Some of the better April 1st content I’ve seen in a little while.

[@DrewShotsFan]

It's not an April Fool, it's in the Vehicle Pack

[@DrewShotsFan]

It's no April Fool. It's in the Vehicle Pack. Great little informative video, as always, UH. I had to fire up my game to confirm it wasn't an April Fool, because I didn't know they were in the game, even though I've played it for years

[@usuallyhapless9481]

Yep. They are pretty niche though. And there is almost no reason whatsoever to pick them over the standard 251s, unless you're dealing specifically with 21. Panzerdivision of course.

[@2ltsierra417]

Correction: at 7:10, those are not 250 round drum magazines, those are 50 round drum magazines. I'm unsure if they are in game 250 round belts, but the box magazine is 250 rounds, not the drums, unless there are serious quantum mechanics or a warp hole within the drum magazine allowing the extra 200 rounds. Good video anyways, just being nitpicky for the sake of it.

[@usuallyhapless9481]

Lol, good point. I'm probably getting mixed up with the ammo counter going down in 250 round increments.

[@unaiestanconapelaez2526]

Ironically in the original steel division this halftrack was better than the 251 because it was 5 points cheaper while doing the same

[@ottofin3178]

It was very slow especially offroad compared to the 251, so well balanced.

[@MilesStratton]

Great stuff. 👍 really enjoyed this video

[@HolgerHendel]

Thanks, man!

[@purpheart23]

Great video as usual.

[@francicoli]

OMG the point thing is fantastic

[@samargrewal929]

1:13 did not know that was even in a combat mission game

[@burningphoneix]

I have been Bamboozled.

[@jsilva4595]

Hey Hap, quick question. Do snipers in combat mission target enemy machine gunners or is it just based on who they can see? I was playing some fortress italy today as the germans, and the brit marksman got no less than four of my mg42 gunners while I was walking to contact, with none of my other troops targeted. It seemed a bit much to just be a coincidence, and it would make sense that they would focus those high priority targets. Have you had any experience with this?

[@usuallyhapless9481]

I'm pretty sure they'll prioritise important looking enemy pixeltruppen if they get the chance.

[@cathrynnroberts]

Thankyou

[@normedspace1304]

Perfect for 1 April! Next year, I want you to do the carrier!

[@dgraham3559]

Speaking of fire and rubble. Is is coming out soon? I pre-ordered it back in February and I have been anxious to get the e-mail ever since

[@usuallyhapless9481]

It should be soon. I was expecting it to come out before CMCW, but if that's going to happen now they're going to be very close together.

[@Sd1v8v]

Hope there's a truck review next

[@usuallyhapless9481]

A halftrack is basically a truck, I guess

[@dexterfitben]

Very informative as usual. Are you looking forward to Fire n Rubble?

[@usuallyhapless9481]

Absolutely

[@julianjackson6824]

Very funny. Though the april fool was on the poor sods who had to fight from that whacky halftrack.

[@glenchen5723]

I was expecting this to be a video not on German halftracks lol

[@VynalDerp]

What are you talking about? The video is clearly about French vehicles. Ignore the balkenkreuz, it's just a disguise. There's no way Germany would make something that ugly.

[@nbr1rckr]

Joke's on them; the u304 pounds

[@geballterblodsinn9330]

not quiet the video i expected, but ok, it's foolsday, so that joke is on me. well played Hapless.

[@geballterblodsinn9330]

watching this again after 6 months, i just realized: he changed the title and the thumbnail, the little bugger.

[@gogogomes7025]

god i'm soo dumb, this gotta be the third "weird" video i watch today, just to remember later "aw yes, it's april's fool"

[@wartsnall7332]

It's just a shame that there are so few battles in which we get to use them.

[@francicoli]

Finally

[@probusthrax]

April Fools? Anyway, I would love a video or 2 about the German half tracks. There are so many, I can’t keep ‘em straight!!!

[@usuallyhapless9481]

Yeah, German naming conventions don't make it any easier. A 251 video is definitely in the works, then there's the dinky 250 and those flatbed flak halftracks.

[@pauldangel734]

Thanks for the good laugh!
