okay so i was playing the last mission of the russian scenario. heard a bradley on the other side of a wall. detached an at team from my engineers(had two rpg26) and send them to thesecond floor of the building right next to the wall. at this close a range, two rpg hits should mess the bradley up. so my guys go up, see the bradley... and just stood there. stood there for a good five seconds at which point the bradley swung its turret around, took about five more seconds to aim and guns them down. All the while the bradley was like 3 metres away from the building and my two dudes could see it perfectly. this seems to happen a lot where sometimes my troops just don't react at all

Assuming that you absolutely must go thru a forest the first tactic is to go very slow, stop for a minute or more and let your units listen for enemy sound contacts. Once you hear an enemy, in CM2 that sound contact is an accurate location of an enemy unit. One needs to AREA FIRE at the sound contact to suppress it while moving an assault element closer until positive ID is made and one can TARGET it (assuming your guys aren't firing at the enemy on their own initiative.
If the scenario doesn't allow sufficient time to move thru a forest slowly and carefully, or have enuff ammo for a lot of AREA FIRE, then send nasty complaining e-mails to the designer.
Well I get that but the problem is most missions don't have enough time to be that thorough. I still think it could be easily fixed if the hunt command is tweaked so that high rates of incoming fire register as actual contact instead of it just being visual. You'd still get casualties but it would be far less

i'd rather have more qol and ai improvments than visual really. one thing that really gets to me now is how the hunt command works. i find it pretty useless in forested/dense urban environments. the ai only stops if they see enemy, not if they have a torrent of automatic fire coming their way from a few metres away. keep on losing so many people like this. also the whole people running onto the streets when they are panicked. I am fine with people running away,, what annoys me is the fact that instead of running to easily accessible cover, the ai runs smack dab out in the open, often towards enemy fire. also may not be the right place to ask, anyone got any ideas for forest fighting. Have tried everything (splitting into smaller groups, adequate spacing, bounding movement), still taking massive casualties. I know the environment like that heavily favour the defenders but i am taking horrendous casualties

As for the troop quality, that is not the issue.
I had my issues with high quality troops, I recall commenting on the fact I had like 8 missiles miss from two locations. I relocated them and found other targets that they hit flawlessly.
I have seen this in 3 different battles now, but the tank I am firing at is always in a reversed slope position that makes this happen.
I also recall most of mine where at pretty far distances.
Does the missile keep on landing just behind the tank?

What is the experience and leadership level of the troops who keep missing?

Don't remember but can't definitely be less than regular. Also the squad wasn't supressed or distressed in anyway.I don't think it is a training issue. I know these things will occasionally miss but four-five consecutive misses seem way too much. Plus it isn't even a specific distance or vehicle orientation that makes them miss. It just seems... random
4 minutes ago, slysniper said:Actually what he is reporting is pretty accurate to what I am seeing also. There seems to be a possible problem when Gills fire at armor in a depression. just as he said the rounds will generally fly over the target and hit behind.
if you have a saved game file that can be submitted would help.
But I do believe it is a possible bug.
Sadly I don't but I will post a save file when I play it again

Hi,
Just a quick question. Before we start of i am relatively new to cm. been playing a lot of the scenarios in sf2. is there some sort of bug with the gill atgm for the dutch. it seems like when vehicles are located at some sort of a depression/at an angle, the missile keeps on landing right behind them. i had this thing pop up like crazy in the dutch scenario back on tracks i believe. i launched four missiles one after the other at the same tank and they all landed right behind it. distance was well within the hitting range(slightly above 1000m) of the gill and the atgm team had a clear los to it. I was launching it from a tower. The same problem popped up in the mission where you have to defend the town(same campaign) from a syrian mech force. this time it was around 750m. i launched four atgms from two teams and they all landed right behind it. Not sure what's happening. i know these things do miss sometimes but consecutive misses like this are strange
Russian aps
in Combat Mission Black Sea
Posted
Quick question. The guide says t90s have aps but is that even true? I've been playing quite a bit with Russians and had multiple dudes take at6 shots at me from the front but never have I seen the aps go off.I know in terms of quality the Russians are supposed to be inferior (lack of funding and all that) but in game they are hilariously bad. Sure they've some good units like the khrys but it becomes a joke when your tanks struggle to spot even muzzle flashes from 700-800 metres away while everyone starts dying around them. Have there been patches/can we expect some patches to fix this in the near future?
