silent one

I thought I could use an old save game from the old version and play it though with the new campaign so I could get to game 2 with all my tanks intact. From what you guys are saying it didnt work because I used an old game save None of my tanks had a scratch on them. So cant be that. I guess that means Ill have to play the entire scenario from scratch

I played the old campaign and found in scenario 2 I Iost my panther and panzer 4's that had survived mision 1 at mission start of 2. I read that theres a bug and this makes vehicles disappear between scenarios. Ive just installed the new fixed campaign and I got the same thing for scenario 2. So is this a bug or in fact are these tanks supposed to leave my force . Am I supposed to just have the 2 panzer 2's and the big tanks have left ? Your input greatly appreciated.

Where is the Apache? Am I reading the wrong thread. I need my fix

From looking at this BBC report . Our fave airport is looking pretty bad. Though apparently still worth fighting over . http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33646562

Cool, hope this expands.

Keep up the good work . really enjoying your work and am a fan of the format Try to stay alive longer next time I need a story long enough for 2 cups of coffee

I got same. I thought it was deliberate when I lost the Panther etc in senarion 2.. I wasnt sure it was a bug I got the towed gun fixed by getting some new file from battlefront support. It was invisible before . I had been looking forward to playing this but it sounds like too much frustration:(

Im sorry the cultural reference is lost on me. Im a foreigner Are you saying MTLB's are bad? Personally Ive always thought of them as a toilet that wants to be a tank. Am I far off?

Thanks so much . I like the different options. you can mix and match . great work

no 1 and 2 look the clearest for me 'No4 the L shape doesnt work for me at all. The more complex it is or the more similar the shapes look the worse it is. Just make it clear and simple

Blue looks better / clearer I preferred the original uninvented white circle/dots for full seats and squares empty seats but either way round its very clear and works very well. You have the best format now. great work More than happy to playtest it

Guys if your not color blind you dont need this mod. Leave it alone youve got your own

Kieme Showing the vanilla brings the issue much more to focuss. The blue with the dot in the middle is harder to see than the original. The vanilla screen clearly reminds me the blue crew arnt the issue. the issue is the green dots loooking just like the empty dots . are they gray? Your first version with white circles with dots for full and empty white squares for empty was by far the best so far. The white squares are the easiest to see. In the original vanilla screen the green dots is horrible. Green dots are too similar to the gray? of the empty dots. they just merge together when they are next to each other and I cant tell them apart.. The issue isnt so much seeing whats full as seeing whats empty . Can you try green dot full and white square empty.? I think that would work. The white square is good . Also white isnt a color so it cant get messed up and a square helps + makes it bigger

That looks a lot clearer. I can read the green writing v clearly on that pic but struggle with the blue. The blue crew dots arnt great but I can see them. They do disappear a bit vs that gray green background though. If they left the vehicle would they be white squares? The circles vs squares are good , very clear. Any color vs empty white squares would work for me, just not blue

Hi Thanks for the response to my thread. Im red green color blind, the most common type at 6% . There are other types.eg blue yellow . To those of you with full color vision , Yes we do see colors , not in black and white. Ill normally encounter some ignorant person in every color blind conversation who'll point as something, like a red jacket and say " what colors that? Color blindness doesn't work like that , and no you cant just change the monitor or the gamma. LOL I generally do ok with the movement and orders colors. Though they sometimes seem very similar. Yellow / amber and especially reverse as its green. Its a lot worse when its colors on a background eg red writing on blue or green. or any combination thereof. Which is pretty much what the seating format looks like from memory. Battlefront .coms idea of changing the shapes is the most logical. round full and square empty and make them different colours. so everyone happy. Someone in the thread says easy to mod. Well great . Im not a programmer As to why no ones ever said this before? Might be 2 things. Im a health professional so Im used to thinking about such stuff. Also on playing BN last night I found it a lot easier as the seat circles are bigger, but more importantly they were on a pale buff background giving me a better contrast. I recon its the choice of colours unique to BS that's making it an issue now rather than before. So if someone could make a mod. Or if Battlefront could take this on board for the next patch that would be great. Its an issue that effects 1/10 of your fellow gamers. Allan

Im color blind like about 10% of the male population. When I look at the vehicle GUI I struggle to tell if any passenger seats are empty on the vehicles. The green dots and grey dots look very similar to me. Are there any mods which give colors with better contrast between empty and full? Please bear in mind this is 10% of the male population and of players. Its genetic and we cant just suck it up. Many thanks

Particularly XO what are they good for? Extra mouths to feed. they have few guns. In recent game XO ( not sure if BS or BN ) wasnt even a officer icon, so he could get lost in middle of the troops real easy . Which was a pain. Whats best way to use em ? Advice appreciated Im new to best use of C2 in game.

Unit attribute experience, I cant find out what troop experience does in the game. Leadership gives you bonuses in actions and can boost troop moral. Moral helps troops not get pinned . But what does experience atrtribute do. The basic manual says no modifier. p31 So why have it. If I pay extra for my troops to be elite . does it do anything other than look cool on the troop screen?

Im particularly thinking US snipers here. There are 3 calibers for the standard rifle. What difference if any do the calibers make in game turns? Other than only having 100 rounds , the 7.62 guys can at least replenish off other troops. As for the 50 cal Barret. hows it modeled in game? is it worth shooting at tanks to destroy sensors? How good is it vs infantry? So pros and cons anyone?

I only just saw this. Being a noob Ive been reading Bils AAR's and really enjoyng them. Ths is something different. I really enjoyed your format . I dont normally enjoy the personalization of soldiers in the game but in this case it worked great. The battle small enough to remember the characters. The little segways where they explain what they were thinking . I just liked the whole thing . It was great. The only thing I wasnt hugely keen on was the grainy textures. Just a bit too grainy/ blurry for my old eyes at times outstanding work. !!!!

Is there a fast way to look at and review maps? The only way I can see of doing so is to start a quick battle and when setting troops preview the map. Surely theres a better way as I have to do a different battle to look at each new map. Its a total PITA. Is there a viewer or mod where I can move from map to map to view in 3d ?

MInes on a bridge? Or can you only place them on entry and exit tiles?

Any expansion on the Bocage tactics? Since Im new and Bill says he took out what hed originally written on the issue. Is there now anything new. I guess Im a new convert brought here from BS and reading the AAR's on this site got me into BN game. The Bocage though gets me down. I seem to get get stuck with the covering fire for movement. I have troops to cover fire, but fire where. theres a big frontage? I could really do with some Bocage AAR and tactics help I gotta say that training with infantry in BN has made me a lot better at infantry use in BS where its so much more lethal. So thanks for all the community support . I appreciate it

Im pretty new but would be up for it .

Looking good . I cant wait
