weapon2010 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Let me preface by saying CMBN so far has been awsome.Relative spotting, 1:1 modeling, much improved graphics.I am wondering though, what is the thought process behind leaving out what the Battlefront team thought was a very important game element to enhance their engine 10 years ago,that being the cover armor arc.They made the decision to design it and add it when CMBB was released.So why leave out this very useful combat feature?So many advancements in other areas and by leaving this out feels like were missing something.Or 4 steps forward and one back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 It's on the list. Might take a while but I'm pretty sure we will get it eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Yeah, we've been pining away for this one for a while...hopefully we'll see it soon...but best estimation would be for the Bulge module...sounds like they're gonna ove rhall some interface stuff at that point. As for why they didn't include it...my guess would be time constraints. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killkess Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 As far as i remember, back in CMSF Steve said it was a deliberate design decission to let it out. I guess they planned to give the AI a much better routine for weapon selection than what was finaly achieved. One of the problems i remember is that neither in cm1 nor in cm2 the AI is able to use the armored arc at all. But the lack is still one of the most annoying problems for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hister Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 What is cover armor arc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 What is cover armor arc? An arc that covers armour... sorry, couldn't resist. It's just like the current cover arc except units using it will concentrate on other armour and (generally) not shoot at infantry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
