MOS:96B2P Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) In CMBS v2.1 Engine 4.0 the Russian Supply section set to dismount does not show up on the map at all. Not as a supply dump and not as a vehicle. I also tested a few vehicles that were not part of the Russian supply section and had the same result. They show in the editor but the supply dumps don't show up in the game under the following circumstances: Playing turn base, real time or scenario author test mode as US. Supply dumps (dismounted vehicles) are visible when playing as the Russians or in hot seat. Edited February 4, 2018 by MOS:96B2P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glubokii Boy Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I don't think this is V4.0 related... IIRC i had this exact thing happen to me when i was working on a CMRT scenario far prior to V4.0 Damn it !!! I can't remember right now what caused it...or If i ever did find a solution... The problem is not a new one though...i'm pretty sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 @RepsolCBR thanks for the answer. I have not tested this in the other titles, only CMBS. I am trying to make a counter insurgency type scenario and wanted part of the mission to be to locate Separatist ammo dumps. I think I found a workaround using flavor objects - Pallets #1 & #3 along with a Touch Objective. If you do remember anything please post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Wenman Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 @MOS:96B2Pcheck the engine manual but I'm pretty sure ammo dumps don't show at the lower difficulty settings with the ammo being distributed between units. Play the game at elite as the Red player and you should see Red ammo dumps P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 yeah I just ran a test in iron and I have the ammo dump on map from the supply section playing as Russians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried in Iron as US. 4 minutes ago, sburke said: yeah I just ran a test in iron and I have the ammo dump on map from the supply section playing as Russians. Yep this works as Russians. Russians can also see blue supply dumps. However US can't see red supply dumps except in hot seat. I'm working on a scenario where Blue forces are searching for Separatists and their supply dumps while guarding infrastructure. That's why I wanted the US / Ukrainians to be able to spot Red ammo dumps. I think I have an acceptable workaround as outlined above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinaldi Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yes, on lower difficulties the ammo will be spread equally between units - but within reason. For example: an ATGM team won't carry much more than 5-6 ATGMs max on Warrior; so its not as effective as planting one right next to an ammo dump on Elite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll turn in a ticket Edited February 4, 2018 by sburke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I never see ammo dumps because I never play the higher difficulty levels. Because I basically suck at being a general 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried again as the Russians looking for a US supply dump and they were not able to see it. But, as with the US, the Russians did see the US supply dump when playing in hot seat. "sigh" Well unless @sburke has a breakthrough I'll use the workaround. The workaround just uses up another terrain objective. I was trying to be sneaky and make the ammo dumps into unit (spot) objectives.................. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
