Biff Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 In the Elsdorf battle I have found it frustrating that I can see multi-story buildings from a certain position where a tank is located but the tank can not target the building. It's as if the building is single story when it comes to LOS/targetting. Although there are many realistic aspects to CM, building targeting doesn't seem right in a visual sense. BTW, this is using 1.03 (I'm using this because of a ongoing PBEM battle). [This message has been edited by Biff (edited 08-28-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michael emrys Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 I've been targetting the upper story of buildings for area fire in a current QB without any trouble. I'm using 1.0.4; don't know if that makes any difference. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff Posted August 28, 2000 Author Share Posted August 28, 2000 Perhaps my problem is the main gun elevation capability of certain tanks. I noticed that when I was viewing at level 1 from the German tank position that the target line would not rise over the top of the single story buildings (using 1.05). Is this reasonable? Does the game list gun elevation info somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 Gun elevation is not modeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.Tankersley Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 This is an odd issue -- sometimes it seems like I don't have trouble targetting the upper levels of buildings for area fire, but other times I can't do it (and I know I have LOS because I can trace a blue LOS line to a "last known enemy position" symbol on the upper story). Michael, when you target the upper level, do you have LOS to the ground floor? ------------------ Leland J. Tankersley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff Posted August 29, 2000 Author Share Posted August 29, 2000 Okay, I tried targeting more carefully and it worked. I do think the developers should tweak this behavior some so it isn't a pixel hunt to find a spot on a building to direct area fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
