Bufo Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) I am running a quick battle in CMBS during the night with a recce unit. As you can see on the picture, one enemy infantry is sighted. It is actually seen by the platoon HQ. He spotted it 3 minutes ago, and yet none of the other members of the platoon has an idea about them (so not even the cloudy symbol with the question mark). Any idea why the info sharing is not working? Edited June 15, 2020 by Bufo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 My guess is that you are playing on Iron and it's too dark for the rest of the platoon to see the SL, and just a bit too far away to hear him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have radios anyway, and beside that a few of them have voice contact as well (they are close enough). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 In that case, it looks like a bug to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Can't tell from that screenshot. You'd have to show the comms between the groups in the UI. I can't tell who or what they are or what comms set-up they have. Also is there any EW setting actioned? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufo Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) I have uploaded a video. EW settings are none. https://youtu.be/qz72Tdqowus Edited June 16, 2020 by Bufo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufo Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 So how do I report this as a bug? Can we even do that? (report bugs) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(report bugs) Many of the people posting on this forum are beta testers. They can report bugs, but they need to be aware of your post. @MOS:96B2P has a sharp eye for this kind of stuff and he knows a lot about how the info share system works. So I hope he will take a look at this and see if there's anything we missed. Edited June 17, 2020 by Bulletpoint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Actually now that I look at it again, I'm thinking it might be the same bug I reported a long time ago, where contact info is not shared if the enemy unit moves. I tested it with tanks, but it seems it maybe also happens with infantry. What happens is: An enemy unit is spotted, and info on its location is shared with friendly teams. The enemy unit then moves, but the updated location is never shared. Notice how all teams in your example have an infantry contact marker in the distance. That's probably the same unit that the HQ unit is now actively spotting in a different location. Here's the thread talking about the bug: Edited June 17, 2020 by Bulletpoint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharing works for all the other units including that in the back of the map, except this one. I think this one was behind an SPG, and he abandoned that, but it was very close to its current location.

MOS:96B2P Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 @Bufo also the information was not passed up to the Company HQ. Best I can tell things are not working as intended. A report was submitted with a copy of the save you provided and a link to this thread. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
