ActionMan Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have recently started to play CMBO, having found it in the second hand section for 99p! It is the best bargain I have ever found. I have had a problem with units, especially AFVs, wasting rounds firing at unsuitable targets. For example, an AVRE lobbing rounds at infantry 50m away already being attacked by a Crocodile. In this forum there have been references to setting arcs of fire to prevent this. My question is, how do I do this? Should I place the unit in a position where it cannot see the target? I have tried setting an ambush marker well away from the enemy and this stops wasting shots, but it also means the unit has no freedom to attack other suitable targets of opportunity. I would be grateful of any advice here. Many thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Covered arcs are not available in CMBO, they were introduced in CMBB, sorry mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmoney Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I wonder, and I'm sure this has been asked 1,000 times but why can't they do a patch for this? I would probably add this game to my CM collection if they did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytarget Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 they could, but it would draw them away from current project work support for cmbo ended long ago, which is a pity i'd buy the game again at full price if it featured the latest revisions in CMAK expect the next post to be someone yammering on about CMAK conversions of CMBO battles /rolls eyes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slysniper Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thus a challenge for Rockape, how to find CMAK also for 99p in a bargain bin. Ambush is all you have to work with, or using a move command if available that will limit your line of site. Sometimes rotating will help slow down the amount of rounds fired at unwanted targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
