Steel Rain Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Anyone know if you can place a pause command between say two hunts or two moves? I would like to order some armor to hunt -> pause 15sec -> hunt. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Nope. It was felt that putting a pause command between way points would be to much of a micromanagement technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoePrivate Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 There's workarounds, say on turn 1 plot the hunt path for your armour with a 30s delay initially. On turn 2 the armour will have advanced a little then you can give it another pause before it continues on the original path. One warning with giving pause orders for TDs, they won't fire outside of their firing arc while 'paused' even if being targetted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tank will go back and forth, in place, for a few seconds, then continue. (Though I'm not sure if this will adversely affect target acquisition while 'paused' in this manner) regards, --Rett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Codfather Posted January 14, 2001 Share Posted January 14, 2001 Does the "pause" command work for artillery spotters? In other words, can you ensure that the barrage is spread out over more turns by having your spotter pause for 30 sec of each turn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted January 14, 2001 Share Posted January 14, 2001 The pause command only affects movement orders, not firing orders. So giving a pause command to an artillery spotter would have no effect on the timing of his barrage. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrik Posted January 14, 2001 Share Posted January 14, 2001 Try moving the spotters target just a little bit, this usually gives you a delay of 15 to 30 secs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
