    Arty Spotter In Command Bonuses

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    "In my experience having an FO in CC does usually make for longer delays, not shorter ones as the commanding units experience levels are imposed on the FO."

    I am unsure if this is true.

    However a crack FO, NOT in c & c, fires faster than a regular FO in c&c 2 stars commander.

    A regular FO is greatly helped by having stars.

    Buying elite, crack, or even veteran arty is a serious gamble unlikely to pay off.

    Arty Spotter In Command Bonuses

    "Does having an arty spotter in command of a HQ with Combat bonuses make for a tighter barrage or one with more losses by the enemy?"

    No, not for off board artillery.

    If an arty spotter is NOT in C&C, the time to

    target is very adversly affected. A 2 min target

    time will most the time start after 4 minutes.

    For on board, indirect fire, the units will hitter tighter and faster, which will make more casutlies.

    Artillary Spotters are slow?

    It's more than LOS/No LOS.

    A spotter not in command control often takes

    TWICE as long as the stated time to fire.

    If he is moving, the same is true.

    Even in command control, a spotter often takes

    up to 100% extra time to actual firing. The

    key is to have those extra stars on the commander.

    Even with a 2 star commander, I see a 50% drift in actual time to fire. Sometimes a -50% drift too smile.gif .

    CMBB name suggestions

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    I dont know if this would help CMBB along at all, but its worth a shot...

    I like checking the name of my HQ units/squad leaders. CMBO has an impressive array. I imagine CMBB would need an even more impressive array.

    It sure would be cool to have a fitting name that meant something to you, while in game.

    my suggestions for names are

    Commissar Dotsky

    From A/SL 8 -2? political officer. Many happy memories

    Lt Stahler

    From A/SL 9 -2? Leader, many happy memories

    Col Klink,Sgt Schultz, HAHAHHA

    Tito

    Yugoslavian partizan

    Ceausescu

    Who wouldn't want to see this bastard 'Eliminated'(romania)

    more?

    A little PBEM strangeness...

Mostly they consist each player seeing a markedly different movie file; eg one player will see an enemy tank explode in plain sight of his troops, while the other player sees his tank motor up in a different direction and not get blown up. Next turn, one player is very surprised as (respectively) the "blown up" tank magically re-appears and causes havoc, or the tank suddenly appears as a lifeless hulk on the battlefield.

    You didnt by chance NOT have a password for this game?

    If so your opponent could have redone the tturn, thereby getting differetn results.

    In a recent game I played, my opponent moved a tank thru a dead HMC. The tank and dead hmc were not in LOS to me. I knew the tank was there

    because i saw the dead hmc inexplicably moving.

    It was the tank pushing the hmc out of its way.

    Not only did I "spot" a previously unknown tank, but I got some good intel on direction tank was going.
