... What sorts of benefits ( if any ) are strong (BOLD RED) command link lines giving from Armored Platoon HQ to their subordinates? I know they have radios so spotting is shared... but... any insight? Should I be keeping them "together" more?

That is interesting. Just curious: How do you know? Did you experiment or is there revised info someplace?
Not sure if you're asking me, I just quoted the manual... As far as I know, hiding in open terrain does not benefit infantry --- they don't even go prone. But tip... a very short slow move with a full pause at the waypoint will make them lie and remain prone, if you MUST stop in open terrain, it's better than nothing.

The manual is wrong about that.
The Hide command has no effect on the visual spotting of vehicles.
Thnx

... So here's a question.... in the manual, it says "Infantry receive NO benefit from hiding in open terrain".... Is it the same with reduced engine noise for a vehicle (I would assume it still has the 50% noise drop), and also --- If a tank hide commands behind say, a bocage or inside forest tiles, does it receive any anti-spotting (Trademark :D) bonuses?

What say thee, Meeting engagement, you on Axis, 30% mandatory infantry points (1350)? Let me know, I'll set it up.

Do any of you esteemed colleagues use flamethrowers (infantry units) effectively in multiplayer fights?

Can you describe the scenarios here?
In what way? I haven't had much interest.. only 2 or 3 people messaged interested. We need at least 6.

See a problem with the rules? Say so, and I'll adjust --- all the coin flips and names pulled will be documented so even though I will be playing, I'll remain honest.

I am promoting a FINAL BLITZKRIEG *KNOCKOUT* tournament for a $25 Amazon Gift card and ultimate 1337 bragging rights! So, How does it work?
(NOTE: AFTER MATCHING OPPONENT VERSUS OPPONENT, COIN IS FLIPPED FOR ALLIED OR AXIS -- YOU CAN GET UNLUCKY, OR LUCKY, BUT SKILL WINS THE DAY)
****1st round:
8 people sign up (or MORE, 8 is a starting point) --- I throw everybody's name into a hat, and randomly choose names to assign 1 vs 1 matches --- If you lose in round 1, you are OUT --- the remaining 4 players go on. *4 coin flips*
****2nd round:
REDRAW 4 winners names from hat. 1vs1 + 1vs1 on a NEW map. 2 Winners go on to HEADS up match.... *2 coin flips*
****FINAL ROUND: Heads up.
1 vs 1 (both players discuss the final scenario, and *1 coin flip* call heads or tails for the flip) ---- Fight to the death to define an ultimate winner and TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR AMAZON GIFT CARD!!

Anybody interested??? I will set it all up and make it easy via dropbox --- Join EFFECTIVE FIRE https://www.facebook.com/groups/122990801690108/ to chat in the thread about entry!! Good luck to all.

You're welcome. Also, if you can't target the actual building, you can sometimes target just in front of it. If you fire from a good distance, the bullets will hit the building anyway. If you're too close, the bullets hit the ground.
Dude. You might have just solved a problem I'm having with LOS. I am definitely going to open up anyway now, thnx.

Yep, there's a suppressive effect, but it's a bit less than if you're able to target the actual floor.
Tyvm. This is what I expected from the engine, and hoped for. I have a MP game going of all regulars verses elites, infantry only.... so you see why I am enquiring.

Damnit, sorry for double post.

Quick question, like to hear you guys thoughts....
Let's say the enemy is on the bottom floor of a two story house, and my MG crew can only direct fire into the top floor (above enemy) --- will that enemy feel any suppression effects at all? or just mitigated...

There is nothing special about slow. The fact that the vehicle is going slowly offers more time along the path for spotting but that's about it. The only real way to hear nearby armour is to have dismounts (either a crew or accompanying infantry) nearby. Mounted crew will not get ? as a result of sound because they are sitting in a big noise maker - even then idling.
So, are you saying that using slow to hide "noise contact" with armor is a pretty pointless tactic? Might as well move fast or normal, because you will ALWAYS be heard?

I'm not sure Hunt gives increased spotting ability either. I think it works more like an SOP - it tells your guys to advance slowly and to stop if enemies are observed.
I believe the manual says that hunt increases spotting.
-
Does the slow command for armor give increased spotting capability like Hunt does? I know it dampens noise...

See topic. I can setup a QB, fair and please have CMHelper. I return turns quickly, so that's good carma, no?
-
Never mind --- figured it out... it's a meeting engagement only map. Now it's there.
-
Thnx in advance...
Opponent dropped me a custom map, Revin.btt.. I put it in the quick battles directory (and every other map directory), but it doesn't show up in my list? (restarted FB several times).
It shows up in his quick battle list though.

Are you guys both moving from "Cautious" to "Nervous" atm? <---just a little joke there.

Josey Wales --- Great job man.... you did the research and saved me many hours at reaching wrong conclusions through my own.
Small thing I noticed - hiding vehicles don't turn off engine sounds

I see --- Maybe I imagined that they do not go prone.. I'll try a hide command in open terrain and see what happens.
