Thanks !
Did some more testing and in other scenarios i can spot them easily like in your screenshots.
Looks like it has something to do with time of day and lightning.
The scenario my screenshots are from is called "1- Training Roadblock".
Can you try this scenario and tell me how well you see the action spots for US squads please ?
-
Here are some screenshots:
There are 3 action spots highlighted (US Inf Squad) but two of them are really hard to notice.
I cant be the mods because the color of the action spots is hardcoded as far as i know.
Can you maybe post screenshots to show me how it looks for you please ?
-
okay, they actually occupy 3 action spots but only one is clearly highlighted, the other two are hardly visible, do you also have this problem or can you see all three clearly ?
-
Hi !
Just started playing some WW2 CMx2 again and wondered...do the squads really only occupy one action spot as long as you dont split them ?
Or is this a Bug ?
In CMBS i always get 2 action spots selected (one with yellow square and one with a red square) but not in CMBN (v3.0).
-
Maybe someone without the original CMBN should try it...its only 10 $...
-
Actually that was a serious question.
I still think it would like to know how they knew i had the original CMBN...the v3.0 All Inclusive installer asked only for the v3.0 Upgrade key.

I've got a Battalion of Luftwaffe Fliegerhorst supported by [...]
Whats a "Battalion of Luftwaffe Fliegerhorst" ?
A Battalion full of airbases ?
-
And how does BFC know that i have the original CMBN and key ?
MAgic ?
-
Hi !
I just bought the v3.0 upgrade for CMBN and downloaded it.
After the installation i needed to activate it and entered my old CMBN key from 2011 but this one was shown as invalid. Then i entered the key i got from the v3.0 Upgrade purchase and that worked and unlocked CMBN.
The thing is, i purchased the original CMBN back in 2011 with another account and email adress then the v3.0 upgrade and i never had CMBN installed or activated on my current PC.
How did BFC know i had a valid CMBN key ?
So could someone who only bought the v3.0 upgrade for 10$ also unlock and activate the full CMBN ?

Err, any of the games at v3 of the engine have triggers.
Older battles may not have been updated, but they are still good. Plus, the older ones have more mods and more built scenarios. And, the packs add the trigger-designed battles.
But all stock scenarios (base games + modules) lack triggers and there are, for each game, only a handful of user created scenarios that use triggers.
What packs are you talking about ?
-
Any more opinions ?
I need some input because i have to decide if i will buy a WW2 game now or wait for the Bulge game because of the AI triggers (no, not interested in CMRT).
-
France '40
or
Russia '41
...now that would be a dream and a instant buy !
-
Wasn't it possible to get the AI counterattacking before the AI triggers were introduced ?
-
Hi !
In the last year or so i only played CM titles with AI triggers included in the scenarios, so i have to ask those who regulary play both, scenarios with and without AI triggers.
How bad is the AI in pre AI trigger scenarios compared to the newer scenarios that include AI triggers ?
Do you notice a big difference in offense/defense ?
Is the AI tougher to beat in the scenarios with triggers ?
-
So whats the bug exactly ?
What setting is buggy ?
Mist ?
-
Russian forces advance towards a Ukrainian checkpoint

Thats the point, the accuracy is to high if you consider how much easier it is in CM to spot Inf.
Take that and the "bunching up" and "conga lines" and you need to really town down small arms accuracy to get semi-realistic results.
-
Actually small arms are not too accurate but the bunching up of infantry in CM means that accuracy needs to be toned down a bit the get realistic results.
-
As i said, some tweaking would maybe be enough.
Just make Inf a bit less Rambo, increase the effects of supression and decrease accuracy a bit for small arms.
If you want to have a real good modelling of time and space in combat and want to scream at the monitor because your attacking Bn has again bogged down then there is a other game i cant mention here...
-
However, if BF moves the whole ruler in the direction of slower combat, the end result is likely to be general player-base dissatisfaction.
I dont think so.
They always complain about how ninche they are and how "few" customers they have (compared to most other games) and i thin those "few" would like a slower and more realistic combat simulation or at least some tweaking.
-
Im still not convinced that rubble should give more cover then a intact building.
Just because there are examples of troops dug in rubble and putting up a hardcore defense does not mean that rubble gives you more cover against bullets, artillery fire or airstrikes.
Oh and i think thats the whole point, rubble can be great cover if you have time to dig in and fortify your positions but thats not in the CM scale.
So when i level a building soldiers who are in that rubble should not be as protected and dug in as the green devils in Monte Cassino...
-
DOes the game modell differend buildings add all ? (wooden/brick)
-
Thanks for the answer
-
The bulge game will add something different for sure, no more green summer terrain (CMBN, CW, MG, CMFI, CMRT, CMBS) that looks nearly the same in every game !
Thats why the bulge game will be a instant purchase for me !
WW2 Squads only occupy one action spot ?
in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

Uh, that almost looks like a bug to me.
The daytime/lighting should not have such a impact on UI elements like the action spots.
Maybe we should report that to BFC !
How can you "officially" report a bug ?
