HistoryLover Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm wondering what are the rules that radio equipped platoons can lose C2 with their radio equipped company? (Temple to Mars) Could it be that the use of the radio is not possible if HQs are moving? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Exactly right: the radio must be stationary. After they stop, there will be a slight delay as the radioman re-establishes comms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HistoryLover Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I hoped it was so. Great feature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've also had situations when static units have lost touch with upper echelons, even to the extent of one Platoon leader being in radio touch with Coy, but not another from the same company who'd been stationary for longer. I think there's some inherent chance of comms failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 One thing to note is that a battalion HQ never loses its radio C2 link icon, even when moving. However, it does lose contact with subordinates while moving, and you can see that reflected in the C2 status of the subordinate HQs. I'm submitting a report to determine if this is intended or a bug. (I suspect the latter.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I think there's some inherent chance of comms failure. Yea, the radios were quite finicky with terrain features so there's some random chance that they may go out of contact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Also, tanks will lose radio contact when the radio operator is firing the hull machine gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
