Stefano Z Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Hello, Does anyone do that? Is it considered gamey against a human opponent? It is my impression that if you are able to take out let's say a Javelin team, area fire where the wounded/dead are should destroy the launcher and missiles. Also killing the enemy's wounded should decrease the final score. Please advise. Thank you, Stefano 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraze Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Ugh aren't wounded and dead soldiers calculated as one and the same 'casualty' for the final score? Also never seen TacAI pick up a Javelin from the dead guy - which is a bummer kinda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefano Z Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 My understanding is that if buddy aid is given the wounded is less likely to be KIA. This is more of a question about PBEM etiquette, Javelins are so deadly that when playing as Russian I want to make sure they are destroyed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Buddy aid will reduce the final result KIA to WIA a bit. You lose fewer points for WIA than KIA IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides there is usually so much going on and so many other threats that need attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not clear to me if targeting the area where a wounded Javelin team was located would actually wreck the system and spare missiles. It makes perfect sense that it would and you can certainly kill wounded soldiers doing this. It would be an interesting experiment to see what happened to the gear. If someone did such an experiment make sure you test the control situation - buddy aid the same team (using a saved game) multiple times to verify that the state of the launcher and missiles is deterministic and not randomly checked when buddy aided. In other words first we would need to verify that the game actually keeps track of the status of the gear lying around on the ground or if it behaves like Schrodinger's cat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Aw man, don't get me started on Schrodinger's cat...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Strangely we don't get many cats come visit: Or foxes, or squirrels, or rats, or pigeons etc. etc. I fear we may have veered slightly though.

Erwin Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 So now that bastid Schrodinger says his cat was with him the whole time. But, I got photos to prove it was here. How can his cat be in two places at the same time? I reckon Schrodinger has no exact idea where his bloody cat is at any time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 It's simple: his cat fissioned, which led in turn in four more cats being produced and so on ad infinitum. You're lucky your whole front deck isn't soaked. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Shale & Marbles could show you how a cat can be in two places at one time.....But it might be a bit messy! Edited May 2, 2017 by Sgt.Squarehead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With area fire you are more likely to be trying to suppress anyone there. While you might hit someone at is a bonus. In fact you are more likely to increase he suppression level of any enemy in the targeted area and hopefully reduce he accuracy of their return fire The cost is that you will be using up ammo. You won't however know the exact you had, nor should you. Hope that helped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
