Georgie Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Is this a hold over from Shock Force where US tanks have excellent spotting ability? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMotion Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 If there is one unit whose spotting ability I have wondered in more than one battles it's Puma. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hence my sig. Conscripts are not trained on the thermal sights. One of the biggest issues with tank spotting is the fact that stationary infantry is spotted the same as moving infantry. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=105886&highlight=spotting But probably the single largest problem is that infantry is actually spotted more easily than other tanks. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showpost.php?p=1385985&postcount=28 Tank spotting is always going to be crazy until those issues are addressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that the thermal sight spotting ability is in essence being carried over from Shock Force to CMBN and since a conscript would not be trained to use the thermal sight in Shock Force then his lack of training on the thermal sight is carried over to CMBN which works out that the CMBN tank has the correct sighting ability for WW2 if it has a conscript crew? Whew, and thanks for the links. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was meant as a joke. Although given the bizarre way tank spotting works I would not be shocked (see what I did there?) if it were true. It is true, however, that lower experience vehicle crews spot less well, so that is a way to partially compensate for the current state of affairs until BFC gets around to revisiting the spotting model. If they get around to it. Whew, and thanks for the links.You're welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
