DBF Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Sorry if already asked. With the update will we be able to pick our own units/equipment/maps in the quick battles as we are in newer CM games? SF1 picked the set-up units/maps for us and was a drag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_MonkeyKing Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Now that we are getting AA capability to the AA units already present in CMSF1 I am wondering are you adding any new ones SA-13 or even the SA-19 that would pair nicely with T-90 and BMP-3. These two could just get ported from CMBS. Also are there going to be any manpads for anyone? I think the AA gameplay might feel very conflicting and unfinished with Shilkas being the only AA capable unit in the game... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It highlighted the lack of heavy-hitting US tactical level AA assets. US military is just now starting to acquire/develop these assets. Examples strykers: MEHEL, MSL and AUDS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am missing something I don't think there is a disagreement to be found here. We might have talked past each other. I think in SF2 US/NATO should not have any AA other than occasional manpads, but Syrians should have plenty of low tier manpad, spaag and maybe a few high-end ones like SA-19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 In reality, in the Shock Force 2008 Syrian Invasion scenario as posited by Battlefront I would think the ability of the Syrian Air Force to get through to carry out an airstrike would be quite low. It wasn't until the NATO module that the feature in the game was even added IIRC. Perhaps BF just decided to do it as it was easy to code. I once suggested scenario makers could use the Syrian Air Force units to represent contributions by former Warsaw Pact, now NATO, countries to the war effort as they were still flying some of the same planes back then. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banned Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 One additional question about CMSF2 comes to my mind. Does somebody know if we can expect better texture quality from SF2? If so I would temporarily disable Kieme´s HD stuff and my custom vehicle textures to check the new improvements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Well some models have been changed others just tweaked I would recommend not using *any* mods from CMSF1 in CMSF2. Personally I don't think I would even spend the time experimenting with old mods at all - instead look to new work for things that you want to change when they come out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually still using Kieme’s buildings when not actually checking beta issues. I just like the more dilapidated look and the roof hatches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banned Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Did some of you beta testers try how unmodified engine 0 campaigns behave in CMSF2? Presumably they are somewhat easier due to the proactive AI improvements but that would be no problem. I talk about breaking stuff like nonfunctional AI plans or ATGM emplacements that look into the wrong direction for example. Reason is this whole CMSF2 thing did reignite my Shock Force flame again and I found some neat custom campaigns I never played before. Doubt they will get upgraded soon up to CMSF2 E4 standards so I consider if I wether should play them on old school CMSF right now or if I´m better waiting and then fire them up in CMSF2.

I think it's ok to say that the individual scenarios have been given a good working over, but that the work on the campaigns is not complete. But that would only be the campaigns provided originally with SF1 and the modules, not any user developed ones from the repository. Those would need a scrub by whoever created them once SF2 comes out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve mentioned CMSF2 has the ability to translate Engine 0 stuff but I would like to know how practicable is it to attempt to do this and if I am better advised to play the unmodified custom campaigns right now in CMSF1 and focus on the "certified" i. e. upgraded content when CMSF2 releases.

Ultradave Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Ah, I see. All I can answer to that right now is that I've played through two battles each of the US and German campaigns and they play just fine. Nothing is broken that I could see. Nothing specific to the campaign. Can't say any more than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuderian Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I am very much looking forward to this upgrade. I cut my teeth with CM:SF after eagerly awaiting CM2 for what felt like decades at the time. And after a very, very difficult birth CM:SF grew, with the additional modules into a tour de force. But let's face it; those poor Syrians didn't stand a chance against NATO force in any conventional battle (although the Syrian Special Forces and Republican Guards were ffing fantastic!) The M1 Abrams was even more of an uber tank in Shock Force than CM:BS despite no LWR's etc. What I loved was playing near peer battles between the NATO forces (sorry, I mean 'Training Exercises'!) So roll on late Summer and thanks in advance BFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Just thought I'd mention Steve said earlier in the thread it's vehicle mods that will most likely not work as the models changed. Sburkes comment hints that building models may not have changed. Sound mods I suspect will be fine. I don't know if the soldier models changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
