Nelson 1812 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Looking at a quick battle game, trying to make sense of the scoring, noticed this while playing in hotseat mode. Thought it was amusing and interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Springelkamp Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah, the spotting model doesn't produce a realistic result here. Maybe in the first step of the spotting model for efficiency reasons the infantry section is only represented by a point that is missed because it is outside the viewing angle of the car at the moment of the spotting calculation. But here the infantry unit so close in reality is an extended entity that should be impossible to miss if every soldier was taken into effect. But that probably only happens when the first calculation with only the point produces a spot. In this video also shows the following: When you spot a few soldiers of an enemy section, the icon of the unit is often not above the spotted soldiers, but apparently above the centre of the whole group, so this gives you some additional information about where their buddies are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilM Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 LOL! Was this using a beta of CMBN v4.0, with the "play blindfolded" option ...? And I think my guys have problems with LOS and spotting ... :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A co Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Maybe this has something to do with the recent change making vehicles take longer to spot infantry close to them? Not the intended result, doubtless. I've also seen a Puma fail to spot a jeep that was about three meters in front of it on a road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUCASWILLEN05 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Quite hard to see out of vision slits but that scout platoon car deseved what they got for being so myopic! Send it to Spec Savers as an idea for their next advert - "They shoud have gone to Spec Savers!":D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 It seemed to take the infantry nearly as long to notice the scout car as vice versa, especially considering the number of eyes being applied... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
