    Bumpy grass texture?

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    I used it. Had some serious slowdowns on the larger maps. Other than that, some of the greens clashed with the green of the woods and scattered trees IMO.

    Went back to the MDMP low-res ones. They look good enough. On top of that this low-res version allows me to judge elevation differences a lot better than any of the other ones.

    Would anyone actually like this? (Please Read)

    Hi Von Brizee and all. I just submitted a similar scenario to several sites, where British paras have a life or death mission in Norway. It's really in a 'testing phase' since I don't yet know how it will react to certain specific playing styles. It's called "Norway - All or Nothing" (yeah, I know, boring title... smile.gif).

    And it's PBEM-TCP/IP ONLY.

    If anyone cares to download it, I'd appreciate any player comments regarding game length, reinforcement arrival, troop composition, and whatnot.

    Passing friendly vehicles

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    I have noticed something odd several times. One or more of my vehicles drive along a road at night along which I have infantry units placed. At the start of the next order phase some of the units that my vehicle(s) have passed have outgoing movement lines, usually away from the road!! However, they have not moved at all.

    Is this a bug, or are these units trying to move away because they didn't have the time to see if it was an enemy vehicle, and prudently try to move away from it?

    Any ideas anyone?

    movement comments (complaints?)

    For example, recently I ordered some infantry units to move along the edge of the boccage for cover. A few turns later I noticed one of them was lagging way behind the others. Why? Because my movement command was too close to the boccage - therefore my unit was actually moving through the edge of the boccage!

    My point is that this seems inconsistent with the "intelligence" of units in this game

    Yes. But what if I actually WANT a unit to move in such a way. How would the game-engine "intelligence" know that?

    Operation Ending Early?

    I would think we need much more fluid setup lines in operations. Not just a sort of straight line like there is now.

    Penetrating an attackers flank will do a defender absolutely no good the way it is now. The operation setup lines seem to be calculated using the most forward located attacking units, regardless of what else happens on the battlefield.

    AI adjustment for Infantry to 'Hit the Dirt'

    Now that you mention it: in my opinion the AI is much too liberal with its ammo when it comes to smoke. What I mean is that the AI wastes to much ammo on smoke while the same and often a better result could be gained by simply bombing the s**t out of my units.

    What does VT mean?

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Well, I've tested the stuff. It doesn't seem possible to preset anything, but I noticed the majority of shells explode above ground level (very little craters).

    Now, this is nice and all, but what is the advantage of spending quite a few extra points for a VT spotter? In what situation are these guys used best?

    Weird 'megasquad' occurance report

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Hello BTS

    I thought I'd run this by you, just in case. At the end of the "McKinley's battalion" operation I found a routed US squad among my men that was obviously very seriously mauled. Many times over it seems... I don't know how it happened but the squad shows -17 men, and 29 casualties! eek.gif I've got a screenshot of it, but don't know how to post it.
