Micheal Wittman Posted April 21, 2001 Share Posted April 21, 2001 I was just thinking, dam it had to happen, wouldn't it be more realistic if I didn't know the experience level of my enemies units. I know there is a distance factor,but that still seems unrealistic in it's assumption. My "stug" encounters a lowly 'Veteran'American rifle squad in a heavy building, pops a couple 'o' shots of HE in there direction. Say 2 minutes of combat goes by, my stug kommander thinks to himself, gee this particular group of yanks sure seem to be keeping it together underfire, they must be 'Elite' Well the yanks are having an argument over whether the stug crew is conscript or regular. I can see if your intel. is decent you would get some idea of the general condition of the enemy prior to the battle. But you wouldn't get the excect level of each unit. Maybe there can be an option implemented in the parameters prior to setup that can disable showing the experience level of enemy units? Anybody have any views on this? silly question yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiJoe Posted April 21, 2001 Share Posted April 21, 2001 Whilst I think its realistic to not know the experience level of troops, I think its a good thing in terms of gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micheal Wittman Posted April 21, 2001 Author Share Posted April 21, 2001 Hi KiwiJoe, I don't know how many battles you picked up in the thread you started, but I'm locked and loading against 3 opponents who happened upon your challenge thread. Ah yes life is good sometimes, I'll drop the results in the thread, if it doesn't get locked.Maybe you can give us a report as things go along.... Cheerz!

Wesreidau Posted April 21, 2001 Share Posted April 21, 2001 Don't forget that formations tended to be seen as green, regular, veteran etc. So i have no problem with infantry identifying the quality of each other. "look it's the 9th Hamster Division of the 13th Hamster Korp! Those guys are tough" Tanks spotting unit quality would be more difficult, but also not unreasonable. Peek through the scope and see a bunch of guys hidding in the same spot - green. Peek through and see them spread out and unphased by your innefectal fire - veteran PeterNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
