markshot Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Something was written about Engine 5 giving a performance boost. Although I usually don't play HUGE; I might one day. FPS is like money. There is no such thing as having too much. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAssassin26 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 What all is supposed to change when engine 5 is released? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEB14 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 It has been extensively discussed elsewhere, but something shall be done for SPW/halftrack gunner survivability in any CM3/engine 5 upgrade... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlXII Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Perhaps give the player the option to change the floating incon graphics of desired units. In somewhat larger battles, atleast when you start splitting the squads, it could be a handy feature to be able to designate varios teams as brech teams, AT teams, fire support teams, recon teams etc instead of simply having them displayed as a regular infantry incons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's even ever released, it's been hinted to focus on performance issues. Maybe getting rid of some of the many graphical glitches too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just halftracks, but all AFV CE in general. They are far too easily picked off by just one or two rounds of infantry fire. I suspect the modifier for that situation is not as restrictive as ASL's +2 was, and it needs to be! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it do this already? When I split up squads per their specific teams, I get different icons according to what their team is, at least for AT or LMG teams. On the other hand, is it the 'iron' setting or some such that restricts display of team icons? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see that...When i split a squad all i get is the same infantry icon for every typ of split-of part. Playing on elite difficulty. Are you using some kind of incon mod ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm getting it confused with specialized teams that are specified form the beginning... will have to check it again.

Erwin Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Have noticed that with the rare squads that can be split into 3 teams, the order in which one splits the squad can make a difference as to how the teams are called. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace11 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 suppression of infantry (or wounding) in front of friendly tanks and IFVs when they fire their main gun. This is exactly the kind of thing real world soldiers and vehicles have to worry about, but is ignored by CM despite it having systems to replicate its effects. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive run into that issue plenty of times. its frustrating as hell. Yeah definitely wait until the IFV is done firing. the problem I run into is infantry reaction time when going into the building. Infantry reaction time and common sense need improvement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a few things you can do. Going into buildings cold is a definite no no. Reaction time is 7 seconds I found, tactical reloads take time too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example in the training scenario I go uphill to get closer to the building. then use the other half of the squad to surpress the enemy while the first team enters the far left building. then I lift fire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't fire while they move but I found they have the first shot on full contact. It works when the unit has a strong tentative contact. Just try it I quote only in game experience it was not tested as such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually thought I'd seen it do this, but that may be more as a result of the explosion close by. It does reflect friendly casualties if affected by the hit, but perhaps not because of the actual shot(?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEB14 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I'd really like to see more options for modders. In particular, the possibility to fully mod a battalion's OOB: from elementary building blocks (e.g., infantry squad, mortar team, MG team, HQ team, HQ support team, etc.), the possibility to build completely a battalion OOB. Modder shall be enabled to choose the number of men and the number and type of weapons for each elementary block (e.g., 12-men squads with Carcano rifles only, or 10-men squads with 9 Mauser and 1 MG34, or 2-men HQ teams with 1 Webley revolver and 1 Garand rifle, etc.). Names of units, name of men, even nationalities, could be modified by the modder. Considering the lack of interest from the BFC team towards early WW2, this would allow the modders to build very realistic early German, early Soviet, early UK, French, Romanian, Finnish, Greek, etc. infantry units, using available weapons to model the RL ones (I mean, in game terms, I don't think there is much difference between a Hotchkiss 13 mm MG and a US cal. 50 one). The Holy Grail would be the possibility to modify the vehicles capabilities: crew size, armament type and calibre, speed... This would also allow modders to recreate extremely realistic early war armors... But whereas the battalion modding stuff doesn't seem unrealistic, this is a lot less likely to ever happen... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about the integrity of the spirit of the game, they dont want people using the game as a toy. Not like it's a simulator or anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
