nathangun Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Will we ever see the 'Human Wave' order making it's way to CMRT ? It's been awhile, but I seem to remember a 'Human Wave' like order (worded to such effect) in CMBB. Will anything like that be making it's way to CMRT ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinty Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Doubtful for CMRT because the Soviets weren't doing that by Bagration, but maybe for the earlier war modules when they come out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 It'll be interesting to see how far back BFC has to go before they feel obliged to introduce it. Since we're working out way backwards - 1943 and Kursk? 1942? Definitely should be in for 1942, in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword56 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 What would (or should) a Soviet human wave attack be in CMx3 that isn't already doable by the player with a mass amount of simultaneous quick orders? What would ypu want too see and how would it be implemented? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 What would (or should) a Soviet human wave attack be in CMx3 that isn't already doable by the player with a mass amount of simultaneous quick orders? What would ypu want too see and how would it be implemented? Probably the primary effect should be a modest increase in morale, in exchange for a loss of tactical flexibility. Once you've issued a Human Wave order, it should be very difficult to alter or reverse it. It's well documented that if you can get a large group of animals (including humans) moving in a certain direction in unison, the constituent individuals become "braver" and are more likely to continue moving with the group regardless of risk to the individual. This is the fundamental group psychology effect that tactics like the "Human Wave", or the Japanese "Banzai" etc. try to leverage. As to how to implement this in CMx2, I'm not really sure. Ideally, it should be a tactic that only works if you have a pretty large number of men doing it as a group -- at least a platoon, I'd say. Arguably it should only become really effective when executed with a Company or more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1812 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I often used the Human Wave in CMBB just to hear the masses shout Urahh, Urahh, Urahh!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
