Cormand Posted December 1, 1999 Share Posted December 1, 1999 As you might have noticed, I'm somewhat obsessed with the unit statistics after a battle. In CE I played a rather aggressive US, at the end I won with only 10 men and a Sherman lost, causing a total of 210 casualties (62 KIA) , according to the AAR. When I stepped through my units, looking for Medal of Honour recipients I added up all casualties and noticed that my units had only caused 52 losses on the enemy. Who shot the other 158 Germans?

Moon Posted December 1, 1999 Share Posted December 1, 1999 You say you "stepped through your units" - does that mean that you have been looking at the Infobox of your units? If this is the case, then the count will not be accurate, since only identified kills are displayed there. Example: if you kill enemy units with artillery out of LOS of one of your units, they will not appear in the infobox of your FO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormand Posted December 1, 1999 Author Share Posted December 1, 1999 Thanks for the swift reply Moon. Yes, after the scenario I used the infobox for all my units, as I didn't loose a single unit I thought that all kills should be accounted for. None of my mortars showed a single kill, but I find it hard to believe that three 60mm mortars could cause 158 kills out of LOS. Or do you mean that only enemy units that are fully identified at the time of the casualty are counted for a squads kill-total? If so, shouldn't that be corrected when FOW lifts at the end of the battle? Cormand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted December 1, 1999 Share Posted December 1, 1999 Yep, that's what I meant. And maybe you're right that it should be corrected after FOG is lifted, but I never had a problem with this since what I do normally is click on the enemy units and see how many are dead.

Cormand Posted December 2, 1999 Author Share Posted December 2, 1999 But then we wouldn't be able to gloat over our kills... <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>"My VG Smg squad killed 57 Americans" <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
