Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy Patch 1.01 Free download

Brothersoft Editor: The v110 patch for CM:BN contains not just bug fixes but - as is tradition at Battlefront.com - also a number of enhancements, adjustments and improvements to the game, most based on player feedback! Here is just a quick glimpse (!) on the long list of the improvements that the v1.01 patch is offering.

Vehicles

- Hit text for projectiles that enter an open vehicle hatch says "Hit: Opening" rather than Turret or hull.
- Fixed a bug that prevented ricochets off a Panther lower mantlet into the hull top (though this intentionally remains rare).
- The glacis/hull-roof armor plate on the Tiger front is thicker.
- PSW 222 and PSW 223 are capable of firing weapons after losing a crewman, and have slightly improved commander's visiblity when buttoned up.

Terrain

- Troops hiding in trenches or foxholes get better protection from shrapnel.
- Direct hits do more damage to trees.

Quick Battles

- The unit auto-purchaser is improved.
- Air support may only be purchased during daytime with clear or hazy weather.

Artillery

- When a forward observer cannot see where spotting rounds impact, he will usually require another round to be fired rather than skip ahead to fire-for-effect with poor accuracy.
- White phosphorous (smoke) does not cause unrealistically high casualties.

Soldier Behavior

- Soldiers can spot anti-tank mines (in addition to anti-personnel mines).
- Soldiers are quicker to stop attempting to surrender if friendly soldiers are nearby and enemies are not.

Misc

- Troops may throw grenades from buildings at open-topped vehicles.
- Corrected some minor pathing problems across bridges.
- Keyboard camera controls are smoother (Windows version).
- When attaching targeting orders to a waypoint, the range display is calculated from the waypoint, not the unit's current location.
- Clicking Exit or New in the Editor brings up a confirmation dialog.
- MP40 ammo pouches display correctly on German soldiers.
