Get some AI plans in there Para and let me at it

I like scenarios with smaller forces too.
A couple where you can play as syrians could be interesting

First of all...they didn't change the old CM they made an ENTIRELY new engine. That means they can't do things exactly the same even if they wanted too. They have earlier stated that the environments are way too complex for the AI to form a plan so right now the strategic AI in quick battles is extremely basic ,this may however change with upcomming patches, only time will tell.Originally posted by sandy:Sorry, but these are not adequate answers
After 4 years waiting, expecting the QB funtionality of CM1 (as in CMBO, etc), does not seem unreasonable to me, instead of regression to the current state of CMSF.
Better to have a 2008 release that has fun QBs, than this disappointment.
(I am hoping, trusting, that some fun QB functionality will make it after a few patches, but my point is why do we need patches to fix what was so right in the old CM and is so wrong now?)
As for not being unreasonable to expect QB's to function 100% , I sort of agree, but things are how they are and my time traveling machine doesn't work so we have to deal with how things are.
Try to hang in there for a bit longer and try some of the scenarios and I'm sure BFC will patch up the quickbattles eventually.
This game is way to full of good stuff to just discard IMO.

Long story short, don't play quickbattles vs the AI...yet.

If you guys take requests, I'd like some more tiny one player scenarios that look as gorgeous as Parabellums pics above !

Short answer to topic:

I echo this request too.
I want my guys to hide when they reach the building they are going to
.//Salkin

You should also be able to que up a hide command , so that once the units get into position they hide.

I have to agree with this though, you miss out on some "iron cross"/"uberfinn" moments.Originally posted by Hev:The problem with realtime is you miss the action, in a CMx1 game you saw every great shot, every lucky nade and every close call. In real time you miss all that. That doesnt mean you cant play qb's against the ai to soak in the eye candy, thats what im doing.

I LOVE the 1:1 representation, and the animations are really cool too !
By the way, is there a point deduction for leaving wounded behind ?
//Salkin
-
Yeah...you guys are doing an awesome job with these forums, and I think you know it too.

Don't let a vocal minority get you down Steve. Count your sold copies and then count the whiners on the forum Steve

Yeah...I never thought I'd say this , but so far, in my experience, the realtime aspect works fine !
It's my preffered way of playing.

That was yours
. Nice one !I think I saw a finnish name as the author but it sure as heck wasn't Sergei
.About the grenade thing, I was thinking that it might be possible to get a nade into an unbuttoned stryker for the KO (by knocking out the controls inside basicly).
Childress, about the camping in the back...I'm not sure if that is a mechanic that works in CMSF, hiding them should be sufficient, but I could be wrong.
Let's see if we can't get an official answer

Ok

My love for this game and especially urban warfare is growing.
I recently tried the mission Ambush in Al Fubar:
**SPOILERS****************************************
On the second playthrough I set up a nice ambush for some massed strykers plus infantry that the computer was sending in.
The US assault team enter the ambush area and the trap springs:
My lone RPG gets off one shot at a stryker hitting it on the side just seconds after it had deployed all it's troops. BOM! Infantry temporarily went to the ground and the stryker got slightly damaged while at the same time it got very pissed off.
Seconds later LOTS of infantry followed by two angry strykers enter the backyard where my ambush was set. Huge volumes of fire from three of my squads strip the strykers of all their infantry support.
Unfortunately while this was going on the damaged stryker and his two buddys were turning my RPG team into sausage fillings.
After this they went straight up to the rest of my infantry while doing their worst to overheat their MGs and grenade launchers.
Things were looking bad so I decided to bug out with the remains of my 3 squads (they were more like 1.2 squads now...).
Not unlike other fights in this new gem of a game it was all very cool and dramatic.
**************************************************
So on to the highlight of this post, the questions:
Is it possible to injure/KO unbuttoned strykers with a frag grenade into it's openings, or some other frail part ?
If the RPG man in a bigger squad is injured/dead is it possible for another man in the squad to pick up and use the RPG ?

Where did you see this..I'm guessing RTFM
.And....I just found out that it worked and so did a stryker
.//Salkin
-
Can RPG's be fired from inside buildings or is there to much backblast ?
//Salkin
-
Definitely too early to tell...I want a patch or two and with the incredible depth in this gameplay I need , say, 20 more hours to play before I can form a solid opinion.
It's definitely impressive, pretty, detailed and cool though...so it's not all bad

It should be pretty easy to find a parking spot for that vehicle, that's for sure...

When you pick scenarios, there are a number of icons showing if it's a meeting engagement, etc. Where are these icons explained in the manual ?

Thanks !

Ok guys, quick question for all the new CMSF commanders out there. I'm in urban warfare and a firefight is about to go sour. I still have a few moments to react before people die but I need to get the heck out of dodge!
There is incomming small arms fire and I want my squad to retreat while using cover and maybe even return fire.
What command do I use ?

. Nice one !
