Bahger Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I will never learn what the approximate safe distances are from suspected enemy units to deploy UAVs until I learn what knocks them down and from how far away, etc. Is there any way to look at the turn replay and deduce what might have happened? I do not believe you get any notification of a hit on your UAV, just red type in its deployment box that says "Knocked Out". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The only thing I can think of at the moment is to watch the replay, focusing on the area where the drone was operating and see if you see or hear anything that might be it. Listen closely for the sound of automatic fire. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Grunt Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 And unless a UAV has spotted an AA unit, I think it is realistic that you don't know. The UAV operator probably don't know either. One second the screen showed some buildings (or whatever the UAV is 'looking' at) and then the screen went blank with static. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Different issue, what killed it and actual deployment. The location you tell a UAV to oversee and its location are entirely unrelated. Try this. Create a map with a huge spike right down the middle. Put a Tunguska on each side. Tell your UAV to spot the one on the enemy side of the map. The Tunguska on your side will shoot it down. Odd yes. It has to do the code required to add UAVs. Their game location is on your map edge regardless of where you tell them to observe therefore their being spotted has to do with a location distinct from the observation location. If it is a micro UAV the only thing that can shoot it down is a Tunguska. If a larger UAV it may be susceptible to manpads and SAMs. To see the TG shoot it down, you need eyes on the TG. Hence your first mission in CMBS is really no different than the other titles. You want human eyes on anything you can before you launch UAVs unless you have a gray eagle. If you have one of those get it aloft immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue189 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I just wish there was some sort of verbal prompt to let you know when you lose a UAV. Right now the only indicator is a large explosion which can be confusing if you not expecting it or missed during an artillery barrage. Usually I only figure it out when I go to move it and I see the knocked out message. I wish there was some sort of line like "we just lost the UAV, sir" or something so I knew it was gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
