    Vehicle crews

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    I don't mind it happening once in a while, but too often I feel. You can used bailed crews exactly the same way you can use regular infantry.

    They will just as reliably hit target at any distance as regular infantry, who I suppose train more on this than them. That is my gripe.

    And if it's the adrenaline doing this to them, then I like to see the opposite behaviour as well.

    In the game where it happened, the crew almost outgunned my Syrian special forces, luckily the guy carrying the RPG dealt with them. The point is still that a veteran crew shoot as effectively as a veteran infantry squad, even after sitting in a vehicle that has just been blown up. If that's the way they are trained than ignore the whole issue, otherwise some tweaking might be in order. Besides I am sure incident like the ones you describe are relatively rarer than what I see (skewed or not) in CMSF, otherwise it would have been turned in to propaganda.

    I'm sure vehicle crews know which end to point their guns. But right now they fight as well as any other infantry in the game. Wouldn't they spend more time fixing vehicles than on the firing range?

    IMO it would be better if either their shooting abilities go down or if they get some sort of morale penalty, because right now if I blow up a vehicle, the crew just crawls and shoot the hell out of my RPG teams.

    Just something that's been bothering me. Crews from knocked out vehicles, once bailed out fight very efficiently. I would imagine that sitting in something that's been recently been blown up would have some sort of effect on the moral.

    Can't some sort of moral penalty be implemented for them?

    Predictability, predictability, predictability. Please. Right now when I start a QB I have no idea what I will get. I don't mind having to stick to the OOB. But let me a least choose between the options given.

    Right now it's just a lottery.

    Get rid of the weird quality ratings for troops. Right now if I play a mechanized Syrians I have to set the quality to excellent to get regular troops. There is no need for this kind of thing.

    Clearly indicate what button I have to click when choosing sides. Attacking vs Defending <=> Red and Blue. That's just plain confusing.

    And get rid of having a lot of arty without spotters and vice versa.

    Weird computer problem

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    I have this weird computer problem where the pc would just restart without any warning. I'm running XP service pack 3 and the thing is already quite old but since it's the old pc that runs CMx1 that I have I like to fix it.

    I don't get any error messages and I don't think it's due to overheating because the problem happens when I just start up after a whole night of being shut down.

    Any ever encountered this problem before? Any possible clues as to what the cause might be,

    Much appreciated,

    Minh

    oh wow, i skimmed through the list of CMAK problems and didn't see this one, despite it being mentioned twice -- silly me, i'll try it and get back to you.

    Also, when I disable full screen anti-aliasing, will it only disable it for windows, or will it also disable it for CMAK, and the other games I play?

    I'm not 100% sure for ATI, but you can probably choose for which program/game you disable certain features.
