Commanderski Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Tank crews and units that don't run a triathlon when they panic. I can see them maybe going 100 - 200 meters at most then hiding in the nearest available cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you would need to call in 3 seperate bombarments from 3 seperate assets to be able to target them all...as opposed to one larger bombadment. Not ideal... I'm not talking about artillery bombardment, but about direct fire from tanks for example.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means keep contributing your ideas to these periodic and fun wish list scenarios but please spare us the sanctimony. Some examples: The request for command delays is something that Steve has put the kibosh on - Interestingly he actually likes the idea but has yet to find a way to implement them that fits with the CM design decision that you play the roll, at various times, of every battle field commander. The request for fixing the area targeting of buildings - There are several threads linked in the FAQ but this explanation from Steve is, well all the words you need https://community.battlefront.com/topic/111851-its-got-to-go/page/2/#comment-1490888 Wish list revision 1: I wish they would improve their 15+ year old game engine to allow for the stuff the community wishes for. I understand the limitations as set forth by the devs, but this is a wish list thread, and if we don't ask for things they'll never know we want therm. I'd like Co play, which was actually mentioned in the original shock force manual a decade and a half ago. The engine was built to support it per the devs. It was nixed however somewhere along the way when they decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. So it's their product they can do what they wish with it, but that doesn't mean I don't get to critique it in a civil way and ask for features to be added no matter how dead the horse I'm beating is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I was triggered by the reference to the rudeness by T*****. My apologies to you @purpheart23. I do like these wish list threads actually. OK I like the ideas, not the frequent use of passive aggressive phrasing that shows up in a variety of posts but honestly that should be water of a ducks back - so - I have work to do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpheart23 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 @IanL I love the game, I buy everything they sell. I just want it to get better brother. Hopefully the government contract stuff they're doing will open some new doors. At least there's hope. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardekk Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) One thing I would also like to be implemented, is that you could put weapons and ammo back in vehicles, for example if you are mistaken taking the weapon you didn't want or you just don't need the weapons when the inf dismounts (only for weapons you took from the vehicle).

Anonymous_Jonze Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'd like to be able to fortify buildings and set up AT guns in destroyed ones. I think this would especially work well with Fire and Rubble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original suggestion was only about firing HE weapons. Recon by rifle fire and suppression by MG of suspected positions would be allowed, just like it was done in the real war.

A very good point. You can always execute area fire anywhere you like. If you know there is a contact icon there, I can't see much point to recon by fire by the AFV. Then it is up to you to use the command-and-control network to ensure the AFV receives the contact marker. It is not hard open near an infantry unit which has the contact icon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, I don't believe some of you here speak for the whole community. I for one don't want the game to become fiddlier with unnecessary extra added detail; I don't want house-to-house combat to become more complicated (it is a slow enough process as it is); and I don't want extreme contact and command rules imposed. In short, I like that CM is a fun, realistic game - I don't want it to become a complex and tedious technical simulation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 This is an example that an icon shouldn't be displayed on Iron. One of the crew survived and is in panic but reports the Syrian AFV whether we like it or not. I take @Freyberg point the game should be fun. Also, some settings are not for everyone. For the HQ of the Scimitar, he is MIA and whatever he spots shouldn't be displayed on Iron. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FOW in Chess is the mind of your opponent that's why Hotseat is my favorite way to play. Long way to go before we can play the game over Skype or Zoom. A conference mode maybe possible in a few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game has stagnated features wise and is far from a complete battlefield simulation. I never said I spoke for the community but since you quoted me I'm assuming that's what you're saying. Notice the emphatic and repetitious use of "I" in my posts. Then take note of all of the other wish list threads in all of the game forums here on the Battlefront forums and you'll see a trend of features that have been repeatedly asked for by the community. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey please don't get offended - I'm not having a go at you I just picked your message because you were commenting along the lines of what a group of really hard-core users have asked for, which is totally cool and that's your right. I'd just like to make the point that for some of us, the gamesters, more micro-managing is not a feature we would like. I think the balance is good, and I like the level of clicking about where it is now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just used to people white knighting anytime critique is leveled at the company, there's a pretty broad history on these forums of it some of it necessary for unruly posters some of it not. I understand your concerns about the micro management and I'm definitely not advising for more features that need to be player handled necessarily. I'm looking for broader options, like the ones I stated in my earlier post and maybe a multiplayer browser added also. Y'know some QOL stuff. Does anybody really like opening ports for a game anymore, sure it's not difficult but come on, it's 2021. No offense, sorry I got a little defensive, I just assumed you were making it out like I speak for the community which I most certainly do not. I just know what I want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckdyke Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I like something like video conferencing, possibly we can play hotseat with people we don't know personally. 60 turn game by PBEM can take over a month to complete. Like @purpheart23 pointed out opening ports with people you don't know? Is not the way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
