76mm Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I really like how the game now shows a unit's casualties in the unit panel, rather than having them simply disappear. However, as far as I can tell, if a unit takes a casualty (which is shown in the unit panel) and then you save and exit the game, when you restart the game the casualty is no longer shown. If this is what is happening, it seems like a bug, shouldn't the casualties shown throughout the entire scenario? [EDIT] While I really having having the casualties shown, I'm not sure if I need the word "Casualty" spelled out. Maybe one of the modders could just replace with text with a red "X", and we'll get the message... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding modding the text, I believe its hard coded and thus not moddable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 That sounds like a bug. Are you positive thats what happens? Not certain, although I was recently playing a scenario in which a two man German tank hunter team took one casualty. When I saved and exited the game (to load some mods) and when I can back to the game the casualty was gone. In a previous game I noticed it with a SU-76 crew. I will pay more attention and get some screen shots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'm not seeing this. If it is happening it must be situational rather than all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 In my limited testing I have seen the casualty message and weapon disappear for vehicle crews after a short period. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Now that I'm playing more, I'm seeing this on a fairly regular basis, but actually casualties disappear during the game, not only when I save, exit, and re-enter. It seems to happen particularly often with two-man teams (AT, scout, FT). It doesn't happen all the time, and of course with the couple of units I've tried to get screenshots with, all of the casualties remain...but I'll keep trying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure your wounded aren't just being buddy aided? The casualties disappear after aid is applied so I think that's what you are mistaking that for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right, but shouldn't the buddy-aided casualty still be shown as a casualty (ie, with the red text)? I thought the point of showing the red "Casualty" text was to show when units had suffered casualties in the current scenario (instead of coming into the scenario in a depleted state). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juju Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 You can only get it at the repository. Don't think I've ever seen that mod on GaJ's site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
