MPK Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Could one of you Mighty Cerebromorphs possibly tell me what combination (in CMBB) of Month and Weather Conditions (i.e Good/Mixed/Bad) in an Operation's Parameters is most likely to produce fog?

junk2drive Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 However if your q is how to get random weather to be not so random in CM, I haven't figured that out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPK Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 That surely is beautiful fog, junk2drive, and Lasi certainly still has the magical old-world charm that made it the skinless sausage capital of the Balkans during the 1920's. However, my question was actually: In setting MONTH and WEATHER parameters for a CMBB Operation, which combination gives the highest probability of FOG? Does Region (North, Central etc) make any difference? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I don't think month or region have any effect in that. I have a feeling that fog is more likely at dawn than at midday, and of course it is more likely with bad weather pattern than good or mixed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPK Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Thinking laterally, isn't mist or fog a feature of cold mornings? So any coldish month should do... You have to realise we don't have mist or fog in Australia, or any other kind of inclement weather; just bright sunshine all day and all night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPK Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Sergei, You beat me to the buzzer. I will now depart and run numerous meteorological simulations until I crack it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Real world vs game There are more than one type of fog and low clouds. An aviation school can sell you some books. I played quite a few ops before I realised there was random weather. In playtesting ops with random weather, it seems very hard to get duplicatable results. IMO avoid random weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPK Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Thanks junk2drive, thanks Sergei. Oh well, back to work on "Plan 1919.cme" I simply must have fog! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Originally posted by junk2drive: IMO avoid random weather. The weather in operations is always random, so randomness is inevitable. There are three weather patterns, good, mixed and bad. It just affects the probabilities. Wind strength is also random in operations. If you need the first battle to be fog, then mention it in the briefing as a house rule that the operation needs to be restarted until there is fog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, like in "Prokhorovka". What I really want (ha!) is the first battle to be THICK FOG(dawn) and the second (early morning)to be FOG- thus simulating the gradual dispersion of mists, and improvement in LOS. Therein lies the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
