Just noticed something:
The tab button for "AA" in the encyclopedia is a picture of an 88! It looks alot like one atleast, why is there no 88 in the game? Might as well call off WW2 and call it "small skirmish between british tanks and Germans with nothing to combat them".
-
As for changing weather and time of day, I don't know but weather does have the expected effects on LOS and unit effectiveness.
-
Can you arange your troops to spell out words?
-
By chat do you mean typing stuff in and sending it? I expect it will have that, everything has that! Does it have that? Il2 had that. How many sentences can I end with that?
-
What about the itro for Dawn of War? Now that was a good intro. As for this one, meh it was alright but I really don't expect any intro from a game like this.
-
I realy don't know why it wan't included? ToW has bunkers which are bought, placed and imobile. Why then can't a Flak 88 be bought for a defending army to be placed in a permanent position in the setup phase?
-
This has been an issue since the begining and dosn't have much of a solution yet. The il2 engine just can't handle enterable buildings easily. Bunkers act as stationary vehicles so you could turn all the buildings into those but then you can only use the weapons built with it, not the weapons of the people in it.
It may be possible to do it with ALOT of coding but that could take a while and I'd rather just have the game now and see if it can be done in the future.
You can move infantry into the rubble of destroyed buildings I believe and you still have walls and fortifications which act as cover.
-
Things like trees, bushes and grass have been stated and shown to have concealment effects. You can prone in grass or hide in bushes and the enemy will have a harder time spotting you(this aparently stacks as the LOS passes through more concealment) but they offer no cover if you are spotted. Solid objects like walls and buildings offer cover and concealment too.
-
The downloadable version of the video has the same lag, is this due to compression?
-
Fantastic! Can't wait! I saw that FLAK gunner get hit and throw his arms up and slump over the gun, looks great.
-
I just got through the hi-res vid that was recently released and had a couple of questions:
Are there different types of aircraft and differnt calibers of morter/arty avalible, or is it always fighter/bomber/arty/morter?
When the M10 tank destroyer got strafed did the vunerable turret crew get injurded/killed?
When the US planes made their final pass on the AA gun and got shot down, did the AA gun vanish from view becasue no-one had line of sight anymore?
Looking good can't wait!
-
Yeah no FLAK 88 what's the world coming too? You can go find my other no FLAK 88 rants in forum somewhere, if you want to.

There is no We-go-you-go mode in ToW just RTS as it has always been. CM:SF may be the game your thinking of....
-
This thick enough?

The thick wood didn't stop tanks in CM it just slowed them down, only rocky terrain stopped tanks. There are also tank traps in ToW which will most likly stop tanks.
-
By degrade you mean that the more stuff the LOS has to go through the less chance of detection and then identification like CM?
-
Hey Moon, I've just read the new preview and they said that trees, grass, bushes ect act as cover in TOW is this true? I heard that they didn't.
They also mentioned being able to cause damage to small parts on tanks like optics and that AT guns have complex damage, is this true also?
-
Yep there are ammo limits as shown in this picture with a Enfield rifle which has 13 times 10 shot clips in his ammo column. http://www.battlefront.com/products/tow/screenshots2/pages/ww2%202007-02-03%2015-08-30-59.html
I don't know if you can pick up stuff from KIA soldiers but you might.

For anyone with BF2 I would recommend the new project reality mod release as it adds many levels of realisim to the game. Also SH IV and STALKER are arriving soon, both looking very interesting! Armed Assualt is comming out for any fans of OPFP.
-
Do you mean the actually speed of time the game (which is realtime) or the speed of gameplay (which would be faster than combat mission with the realtime and smaller maps).
There could be time compression keys but I don't know.
-
Yes you order it online to ship where ever you live in the world, and the SS might be in the game (I don't know if the game has differnt army branches) minus their swastikas and SS runes.
-
I figure the chances of a plane crashing into a unit is pretty small (except if it is hit on the aproach for a strafing run) but I don't even know if the planes crash at all! Anyone whos got the Russian game know?
-
Just thought of a question that someone might know about:
How detailed is the aircraft damage model ie: subsystems or health?
Also when a plane gets destroyed will it crash or fly off the field trailing smoke and if it dose crash dose it leave a burning wrekage or just a mark?
Allllsoooo can the crashing plane damage ground units?
That's all anyone know?
-
As for mission editor for ToW:
Go to the first page of the Feb update sticky at the top of the forum, scroll down and read Moon's first post.
-
On the topic of objectives, how are they used in single player? Do you only have to destroy/rout the enemy or are there proper objectives?
Hey I have an idea...

Is it possible for the people who pre-ordered the game furhter away countries, to have their order posted before the 19th. So that we don't have to wait another 2-4 weeks for it arrive. I can't download it since it's too big and would take forever on from the distant server. I dont want it to arrive before the 19th (duh) just not so far after it as May. Just throwing it out there.
