weapon2010 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I noticed in CMBN the Axis Fwd observer is missing from specialist teams? All other nations have the FO available in specialist teams.It is available in formations only, is this intentional? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 weapon, for the Germans, the FO sections are listed under Formations. Heer, SS and LW all have them. As far as I could ever tell, they act no differently simply because they are their own "Formation". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US forces were apparently better equipped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Sorry, you did, but I forgot to add that I always thought it was intentional. However, I just checked all the WWII titles and the latest module Rome to Victory has FO's available in Specialist Teams for infantry, pzgrenadiers, and armor for Heer, SS, and LW units. No matter the year--from '43 through '45 those units (when available-some German types are not available in various time periods) the FO's are available in Spec Teams. Red Thunder, although only having Heer types at this point, has them in Specialist Teams for Inf, pzgrens, and armor. For FB, only LW infantry and Heer pzgrens had them in Specialist Teams. So now it looks like it was maybe unintentional, and that at least the new module for FB might fix it??? Still don't know if they are modelling German units in Normandy differently because they had many fewer radios at lower levels...but why would the Germans in Italy a year earlier have them? I don't know if before Rome to Victory module they were in Spec Teams or not. Regardless, maybe the patch that will be released with Fire and Rubble (and applicable to all WWII titles, IIRC) will have a fix for Normandy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
