AlexUK Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Just got a crash on the german mission, I was enjoying it, but the Weasel spotting is awful! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preferred that to the new version. Could we have the old version added to the cycle? Apparently. They might have changed it because SF has unique trees that are much smaller than in the other games. In the other games you only get trunks without branches; near, then all, then no trees.

AlexUK Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 It seems odd that the antitank team with the javelin does not have a radio, as they are the best spotters (presumably thermal on the javelin). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) CMSF1 had only the Trees On/Trees Off selection, and apparently BFC saw reason to leave it that way in CMSF2. Since this is v4, and the other CMx2 titles are already at v4, I don't think the games are regressing on the tree selection.

A Canadian Cat Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 No, CMSF2 has all three trees off / tree trunks in close / trees on. The tree trunk only is just more like no leaves for some of the free models. A three tree settings are there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUK Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I much preferred the close trees trunks only, all the rest with foliage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol makes one wonder why BF goes through all the effort of doing such specific ToEs if even the vets do this sort of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUK Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 There seems to be a problem with high-rise buildings hiding icons - this may also be in CMBS, I haven't checked. See two pictures below - HQ icon is hidden in first, I pan right a bit and you can see them.

It's not on my mine. To be clear, the option Near Trees Off showed stumps for the trees nearby, full foliage for the ones further away. This is no longer available in the demo I'm running - is it available for you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexUK Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Ok, so it's a new thing then? The old option: 'tree base only close, other trees in full foliage' ...has been dropped? That was the option I played with normally, it would be good if it could be brought back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall ever having that option in any of my games beginning with CMBN. In mine it showed full trunks but no leaves on nearby trees. This is what I am seeing now.

Tripod mounted. The Battlegroup had most of the infantry weapons co. but left the TOWs and .50's behind when out on patrol. The thermals on the TOW let us see if the Afghans in the fields at night were digging wells or ditches or placing IEDs. This was in the Canadian Army where fancy optics are less prolific, I'd guess the Germans may do the same.

I think I have seen that, but not recently. I think it may depend on which game you are in and which species of tree is being depicted. I notice the ones in your pic look like they are in an orchard, and that's where I think I have seen them. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I thought this was just an issue of the trunks had branches on them in SF2. I fired up a test and I can see that this is not working as expected - I am putting together a report now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
