This has to be the biggest problem stopping the idea 'what you see is what you get'...
primarally in city fighting
Yes. Recently I have been often in a situation where "what I see is what I can't get". It is very frustrating.
-
I'm excited, not because of MG but because after releasing it we are one step closer to eastern front. I remember hearing some rumors that east is close, but do we have any new info on that matter? I've seen enough west for some years now, I wan't to see some T-34 action and maybe some day Russia vs Finland...

I just noticed when testing Gustav that if I start a QB, select some winter month and light snow, I will always get hot temperature when checking the conditions window in game. Tried with several maps. One of the maps had -7 celcius as temperature, but suddenly it was hot again. Why?
-
That looks nice. I can feel the winter.

Hello, I'm interested in this book but can't find it anywhere... The third print was never released?
-
Tomorrow is my pay day. So digital download better be available by then!!!
-
Wow, finally. I like this change.
-
I've got popcorns ready... Waiting for some action...
-
I think it has always been there
Yep. Not an artifact. Just result of limited resolution on our viewing devices.

Sorry.. that wasn't much help was it?
No problem. I guess it would be too easy if there was some kind of online archive for this kind of maps...
-
May I ask you where you got that nice contour map? I have been searching the internet with poor results... Would like to use them for my own battle plans.

Patch? Uniform? Hell, I'm trying to see if that soldier has the glint of steel in his eye!
This one looks like he has had an afterthought.

--purchase many TRPs and litter the approaches with them in order to call in artillery quickly and effectively and to increase the accuracy of the AT guns and mortars
I didn't know this. So TRP's also help AT guns and other field guns?
-
Thanks for the patch! Really made the game better. Can't wait to set up an ambush with mg's in a pbem..!

However, If it in game has effects on the individual LOS, then that is just awesome, and great programming by BF. Just think if a dark valley bottom and the nicely lit up ridge with a low sun. There are very much real world effects on LOS.
That would be cool to have. Of course then we would need real sun glare effects so that we could judge where to point our units or whether to buy them sunglasses.
-
But don't fool yourself into thinking the human eye is some sort of perfect optical device.
I know... The point is, those effects we usually see in games have nothing to do with human vision. Our eyeballs are quite different from video camera lens. Some games actually render reduced contrast and halos when looking into sun, and that's more realistic. See this video of IL-2 Cliffs of Dover: http://youtu.be/2GzPi8aIIZU?t=3m39s
I don't like it in the game, but it is realistic. Imagine the troops on the ground staring in the direction of a low hanging ball of fire with dust, mist and other crap in the air.Read above.

I have always wondered what is the point of lens flare effects. Our eyes don't suffer from lens flare. So that effect is telling us, you are not there, you just look trough a camera, or maybe you have bad quality glasses on...

Error: errorCode
errorMessage Please contact your vendor for assistance.
This is what I get after installing the patch...

Well, duh!
Only use Face if you've got a good reason to. Like Hide. Of course, you're often going to have a good reason with a limited traverse system like a Semovente, so you're between a rock and a hard place, trying to get it to anticipate what you know is coming, while leaving it free to react to the stuff you didn't see down the 'pike.Well yeah, that's the problem, I didn't know the Sherman was there when I issued the command. To me it would seem logical that enemy armor presence would override my face command. So maybe that's what they need to tweak..?
-
The Semovente had face command active, but they did see the tank all the time. To me it seems that face command has higher priority than "turn to face enemy armor". Maybe I have to stop using face.
-
Below is a link to a video which shows something I've encountered now many times with different armoured vehicles. It spots an enemy, decides to shoot it, turns towards it, and then decides not to shoot it, turns away, then again decides to shoot it... Cycle continues. The end result is that it won't do anything useful and only gets destroyed. Semovente in this case didn't see any other confirmed enemy but the one Sherman, and still it couldn't make the decision to shoot it to it's side.
Needless to say, it ruined my game.
-
I don't want to give a save game because it's a PBEM game with my password on it. But I can give better explanation: I created the game. I sent turn 001 away. My opponent returned turn 002. When I open that turn 002, and look at map preview, setup zones are reversed.

With snow I hope arrives Finland and Winter War and/or Continuation War.
Thank you!
