    New Kampfgruppe Engel, tank bug or is this supposed to be like this?

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    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.

    Side note: remember that MTLBs are the most "mole" vehicles of the entire universe.

    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?

    any colour blind friendly GUI's out there? passenger seat colour.

    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.

    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 :)

    Snipers . What difference does the gun type make?

    in Combat Mission Black Sea

    Posted

    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?

    The Battle of La Ferme Dupont - A CAAR

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    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. !!!!

    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 :)
