Hardradi Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) In a recent game I noticed some of my infantry shooting backwards at dead bodies. During the turn the target line actually flipped over from the target in front of them to what I presume were some dead team members of the target behind me. It was CMFI. Has anyone else seen this?

Erwin Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Never noticed that. Be sure that there isn't a live one hidden among the dead bodies. The AI is better at spotting them than the human eye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 If you ever see it again please grab a save. Other than that no I have not seen that behavior in any title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I've seen AI fire at old enemy positions before i.e. dead bodies. I often play in scenario test mode. Thats how I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The only time I’ve seen it is when, as Erwin stated, there was a live one hiding in amongst the dead...you have to look close sometimes, because the P-truppen often are literally on top of each other and their animations merge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardradi Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Thanks for the replies. The chances that there were enemy soldiers behind me is very slim as I had a very thick picket line of troops advancing up a slope through the enemy positions. Every action square covered. There were no kills or surrenders back behind me. I have a save, I just have to find it as it was a H2H game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardradi Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Ok, I found found the appropriate save, time and fire teams involved. Who wants it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver_88 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) I've seen my guys shooting at dead enemies plenty of times, and places where there are tentative contact icons remaining from departed enemies. And have just considered it to be that those individual soldiers do not know for sure that the enemy is dead or think there might be others there so put some rounds out to be sure and etc. But I've not known the target line to change to anywhere but where enemies exist (or rather where the centre of mass for a group would be).

MikeyD Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 In CM game engine 1 there was something termed the 'death clock'. Which means you may know your guy is dead but it takes a few moments for the other guy to realize it so they keep shooting. There's also a difference between gravely wounded (bright red base) and dead-as-a-doornail (dark red base). Though I'd be shocked if BFC coded in war crimes. Were your 'guys' German, Italian or allied? Now that I think of it, back in CMBO SS units weren't above shooting surrendered prisoners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG TOW Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I use flame throwers to rack up kill counts. Spray the bodies with area fire, you will hear screams. These are the wounded converting to kill counts. I believe it effects the morale and makes the AI surrender flag trip earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where where you when you were needed in Syria? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 That's just old fashioned.....In Syria (& Iraq) they used this: CMSF2/CMBS Vehicle Pack anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
