Not sure what's going on here I have alot of trouble killing TURMS with Javelins that 'appear' to use a top down attack at ranges of around 200m.
Does this mean the game is using a top down attack animation while the missile is actually striking in flat trajectory or is there different levels of top down effectiveness? For example is a top down attack at 200m less effective than that of 1000m?
BTW I've seen the direct attack animation used against close targets but just can't work out why BFC testing is contrary to what alot of others are reporting, can I suggest BFC test in an urban environment as alot of people report this problem on the Al Hawl map.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure this is aleady possible, the scenario designer can give penalties for destroying certain buildings.

The description indicated T-72 M1V (2001). I believe it was from a Republican Guards Company. </font>Originally posted by SlapHappy:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Battlefront.com:
themediocrity,
The height differential was fixed in v1.03, so you'll get a chance to see if that fixes the problem or not. Our own internal testing produced similar results as yours in v1.02 and not in v1.03.
SlapHappy,
Which model of T-72? It is possible that there is something wrong with the matchup against that specific tank. We did find something like that early in testing (T-54B IIRC) where there was a data error for the top deck armor rating.

I've seen the BMP-2 do something similar I watched it empty it's HE ammo on a Stryker for no kill, when it then was forced to go to HEATOriginally posted by Battlefront.com:The other thing to keep in mind is that 125mm HE hit on the side of a Bradely or Stryker should toast the either vehicle. So again, it is the TacAI being perhaps a little smarter than it should. The Bradley uses HE instead of AP against BMP-1s IIRC for the same reason.
We are definitely looking into if there is a bug seperate from logical (though perhaps counter intuitive) ammo use.

ammo it got a kill very quickly.

I can't remember seeing this before but while playing the Al Amarah mission I noticed and the end of each turn all previously spotted enemy troops become visible despite that no unit can currently see them. These enemies were spotted earlier in the game then went into hiding, during the turn phase my troops can't see them but at the end of the turn when I'm giving orders these enemies are all visible with up to date unit info, I click on every unit I have but none can see these enemies.
Can anyone explain what's happening I thought Predators weren't modelled in CMSF.

After playing 'Allah's fist'I actually had more success with the T-62s I scored two frontal kills of M1s at long range (one shot kills) with these outdated tanks. The T-72s were quite hopeless unless firing from the side. Although sometimes all tanks had the strange behaviour of not wanting to fire at all even when they had a clear shot at sides or even rear of the M1s at close range?
-
Yep, had this problem in urban maps, the only time they organised themselves back into a combined squad was when I gave them orders to board a vehicle or sometimes you have to give them an order to move back to where half the squad got stuck, haven't tried splitting the squad and then trying to get them to merge again at another location. Definately frustrating when they're needed at the front but want to hang around the back blocks and let the others do all the work.
-
Just a note to say thanks for all the great new missions being produced but please include in the preliminary info what side to play as.
some missions are not clear, and after a few turns it's apparent that it wasn't meant to be played as that side.
Thanks.

Yeah but they are a very useful tool to manage your units especially when troops are in vehicles. I just think for realism purposes they could be maybe olive green and transparent so they are still visible but less intrusive.Originally posted by Falcon899:You -can- turn them off you know.

I'd just like to see the icons a bit more subtle, perhaps transparent or a duller more natural colour.
At the moment when there is a large number of units on the field it looks like a kids birthday party where the hired clown has gone berserk with the balloon making.
-
I've noticed since 1.02 that strykers are reluctant to fire on exposed targets unless they are manually told to.
-
Yeah, that's why I play WEGO in RT you miss alot of the action and don't have time to zoom in and appreciate the graphics.Originally posted by Cavtroop:yeah, but playing in RT and just pausing frequently doesn't get you the replay. so in large battles, you can miss lots of interesting stuff going on.
-
I played about 4 missions into the campaign in RT and then went back and started again in WEGO. My enjoyment of the game doubled immediately, now I can savour the nice graphics,zoom in on an enemy tank as a Javelin hits it, get in the trenches with the enemy during an arty strike etc.
I can do this without having to worry about what's happening elsewhere on the battlefield, this is what attracted me to CMBO years ago and
for me WEGO still is the heart and soul of CM.

I agree somewhat, as a long time voyeur of these forums since CMBO days but only recently joined I felt intimidated to dive into the Peng pit of intellects, but I think this thread could be a good place for the FNG's to crap on with just suchOriginally posted by Ships but not the Ocean:Wow. All I can say is... Wow. I just came across this thread today and... Wow. BOOM$LANG, you're a real piece of work.

I suppose I have to redownload the whole thing, only problem is the facist at the local internet cafe charges me 60c per mb.
Crying...

I downloaded and tried to run that but windows says it cannot find md5sum.
I don't think I'm doing anything wrong.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the replies,
but the same error keeps coming up, I guess I've got to download again.
Oh the pain dear william.
-
I have full admin, I'm starting to think the download is corrupted in some way.
-
I looked at the properties for the CMSF folder and it says only 160mb size on disk.
Is this the issue, with the version100 file not installing?
do I need to download again?
The download was 395,587 but I had to do it through a internet cafe who burnt it to CD for me, if I do it again it will cost me more than I paid for the game. I can only get dial up where I live.
Oh the pain.

I should say that when installing I got an error saying version 100.brz was corrupted but I pressed ignore and it installed anyway, does that matter.
-
At first I only heard the sound from the intro. Then I played the intro.wmv with wmp which allowed it to play althought with low colour quality.
Anyway I start the game and just get a blank screen regardless of whether I've removed the intro from the data folder or not.
Nothing just a blank screen.
Help, or I'll start crying like a big girly man.

Hope this is the right place to post.
I want to order ToW by DVD and I know the download version is updated with the latest patch and Moscow missions but what about the DVD?
Unfortunately I can only get dial up where I live and so if the dvd isn't patched I dread downloading the patch,is there any way a cd with the patch on it could be included in the sale or is the pushing it a bit.
Any help appreciated.

Was there an earlier version of this scenario that was set in daylight?
