db_zero Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Started another QB-so far I'm impressed. I noticed in the 2 QB's I played the AI uses artillery and the force selection is interesting. I also notice artillery creates a lot of smoke and dust in effect creating a de-facto smoke screen. I don't recall seeing this in the Normandy and Italy modules. I may be mistaken and some of my games have been in weather conditions like rain that may have played a role, but has anyone else noticed this? The more and more I play EF the more and more I'm impressed. When will all these enhancements make its way to Normandy and Italy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't noticed AI using it much - the AI in QBs usually expends most or all of its arty/mortar ammo in front of the setup at game start - but occasionally I'll be surprised by a particularly reactive mortar and pay the penalty for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I also notice artillery creates a lot of smoke and dust in effect creating a de-facto smoke screen. Yeah but it's of short duration. Usually I find that within a minute of the shells ceasing to fall it dissipates. That may be okay if you have timed your attack to arrive at just that moment and before the defenders have recovered from whatever shock/suppression they may have acquired.

db_zero Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 You're right it is short duration. I gave the Soviets 40% boost. I killed a bunch of T-34's and a IS-1 and thought I was going to get an easy victory. I'm now holding on for dear life. 1 Hetzer and 75 mm AT gun and some infantry left. I notice the T-34's have canister rounds. Nasty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizou Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 When will all these enhancements make its way to Normandy and Italy? Steves guestimate was 2 months after RT release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
