delliejonut Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Just out of curiosity, has there ever been talk of increasing the crawl speed for infantry? It seems like when they are in open flat terrain they could hustle a little faster. Not a huge increase, just 15 or 20 percent. I think the current speed is completely appropriate when there is brush or other low encumbrances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Not sure about speed. But, have wondered if SLOW move tires people just bit too quickly considering these are young guys in the peak of fitness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that is what it seems like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delliejonut Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 I don't have a problem with the tiring effect, but to me it only makes sense if they're crawling through woods or brush (which in reality is extremely taxing and frustrating, coming from someone who has gone hunting on occasion in Alabama) or if they're crawling pretty quickly. With all their gear I'm sure a quick crawl would be that tiring, and distances are always further on the ground than they seem from the camera. At the moment though, it's more of a slow sneaky crawl, and that's easy to keep up for a more extended period than seen in game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xorg_Xalargsky Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 CMx2 games could very well do with a Movement Speed audit. Along with Crawl (as mentioned in previous posts), many crewed weapons are in dire need of a boost. As it stands, all of them seem to move at a snail's pace, even a piece as light as an Lg.40 (~150kg) on good ground (paved road) and fully crewed! (does crew count have an impact on movement speed? That would be interesting). In my opinion, a good (and simple) solution would be to make the Quick command available for sufficiently light carriages, but make the crew's Stamina drain very high. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewood1 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 This seems a pretty simple test... Throw 40-50 lbs on your back and measure yourself at various paces and distances. You should quickly see how close to realistic the pace in CM is. Also, physical fitness varied quite a bit between countries, branches, unit types, and even length of service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Done and done... I gained 40-50 pounds over the years and maybe I don't run so FAST, but I can still move QUICK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to get some friends to shoot off some live ammo and throw pipe-bombs around too.....Realism is everything.

A little girl with big eyes asked the same question last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
