Probus Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I have some questions about how CM2 is handling my move and face commands when I issue multi-part orders. I understand that if I MOVE forward and FACE left that the vehicle will do it in that order. If it has a turret, just the turret will FACE left (I think). Same if I set a left facing firing arc. Now if I MOVE my turreted vehicle forward (North), Set a left facing firing ARC (West), then MOVE left (West). Will my ARC stay pointing left (West) relative to the map or stay relative to the vehicle and end up pointing away from my initial forward direction (South). I can probably help the folks answering this question by starting their answer with "It depends." I also know that vehicles sometimes just won't do what you tell them to do even if they are supposed to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 The arc will always face the direction you set it, regardless of movement during the turn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Also, if you give a vehicle a movement command with a face order at the end, the vehicle, not just the turret, will face that direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To give it at the end do you click the final waypoint then give the "face" order? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
