We need better command control for firing unit


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this topic has been addressed in the

past.

I recently started to play the demo version

and the game is awesome!

however, I do find one thing very annoying:

It seems to me that I can't not order my tank

crews to stop engaging enemy infantry with

its main gun. Consider this scenario:

A German panther was seen 500m away. To

engage it head on seemed like a sucide. I

decided to frank it with my Sherman while

sending some other infantry to draw panther

's attention to other direction.

Everything worked just as I planned. However,

just as my sherman got close to Panther's

frank, it discoverd a very German soliders.

At this time, the soliders were in LOS of my

Sherman, while Panther was not (although

it was about to as my sherman was driving

towards it). At this critical point, my

sherman turned its turret into the German

infantry, away from Panther's direction,

and shot HE round. In the meantime, the

sherman kept driving towards Panther's frank

And you can guess the rest, by the time

Panther lied in my LOS, the sherman turrent

still pointed to those infantry, and at

a 180 degree away from the Panther. Because

both tanks sae each other, they started to

turn the turret towards each other.

But, Panther only needed to turn 90 degree

to engage my sherman, while my sherman

had to turn 180 degree. Naturally, Panther

got the first shot and my sherman was

toasted.

A brilliant tactics ended up with nothing

just because my Sherman tried to engage

infantry right before the critical point.

This brings up my question: Is there any

way that I can force my tank crew to

never engage infantry with its main-gun?

If yes, how do I do it? If not, this is

a MUST-HAVE in the next patch.

Discussed...discussed some more...and then some more...and still going and going and going. smile.gif

Tank, no slam intended but this issue is all over this forum. Everyone, present company included, sees the need to have an improvement in targeting. BTS also agrees and from what I've read on a number of threads and e-mails, intend to improve it in the next patch.

Happy hunting...have you ordered the full version? The patches won't help the demo.

ACTOR, I ordered my copy the next day I

played demo.

This is a dream coming true. If they can

further improve the 3D graphics, I can even

make a "saving priavte ryan II" out

of this and break the weekends box office smile.gif

Sounds like a plan Tank. I think this game is great also...I can't stop playing it!

Gotta go, more Germans to capture.
