Vanir Ausf B Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Did this change after CMBN ? In V2 or 3 ? Because when I tried Iron when CMBN was new ( v1.0 ), that's when I didn't like having to deselect to see what the neighbouring team had been told to do ? I'm not sure when it changed, although it was definitely before V3. I never played Shock Force and I started out playing CMBN on Elite for the same reasons you did. But eventually someone pointed out to me that Iron doesn't work the way I thought it did, so I tried it again and never went back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I am pretty sure it has always been that way at least from CMBN on. The manual has always had Iron described incorrectly and is still wrong in the CMBS version. - Friendly units need to be spotted just like enemy units. If you have a friendly unit not in line of sight or in contact with another friendly unit, then the only way to find this unit is by either re-establishing contact with another friendly unit or by clicking through the chain of command in the game interface, jumping from unit to unit. That has as far as I know never been true. Iron is the only difficulty level that gives me a clean representation of what my units are aware of around them both on their own side and the enemy, I am not just referring to C2 here but also where they think friendly units are they can not see etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) That has as far as I know never been true. It's mostly true when playing in real time and TCP/IP WEGO. Believe me I have played TCP/IP WEGO (which is actually real time with enforced pauses) in Iron mode and it is very hard to maintain situational awareness with a large force. I prefer Elite for real time. But it is very misleading for how it works in regular WEGO. Edited February 2, 2015 by Vanir Ausf B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasMorbo Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 We-Go, Elite. Thought Iron only adds more de-selecting as Baneman pointed out. After reading about the better representation of situational awareness in Iron, I will give it another shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Toleran Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Iron, only, from day 1, all games that I had the option. Not that I'm good or anything, I get my butt handed to me all the time... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 WeGo, Iron. Get over your fear. Iron actually HELPS you play BETTER. It shows you what your troops see and know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db_zero Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I don't mind iron, but usually do elite. Play WEGO and lots of h2h. Real time is ok from time to time, but there is alot to keep track of and in real life I don;t think 1 person (you) would be monitoring and making decisions for the entrie force. If there was real-time replays I might play RT more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find the hardest about RT is you just can't see everything that is happening. I might consider it for a small scenario, but anything larger I feel like I am missing half the game (which is probably an understatement.) Which I guess is your point. However I don't see that improving for me with Elite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In RT and TCP/IP WEGO it's that way all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
