Loaf Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi everybody, Not sure if this has been suggested by somebody before - I have never seen it discussed... Whenever I play CMBB or CMAK I tend to use the "Advance to Contact" command for armoured vehicles a lot to make sure they wind up in hull-down positions when they first encounter an enemy unit. I have always wished that the "Shoot n' Scoot" command had an alternative "Advance to Contact, Shoot then Scoot" variant. It is annoying to have to manually pick the shooting point, particularly for a group of tanks - and I find I often get it wrong and either lose the tank or waste a turn where the tank does not fire. Similarly, it would be cool if there were an "Advance to Contact, then Scoot" command for vehicles. You could send a fast armoured car towards enemy positions knowing that it would immediately reverse out of danger upon encountering enemy resistance, which would make reconnaissance a lot less dangerous... What do you all think of these suggestions? Cheers, Loaf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I think in CMx2 there will be SOP's we can give units, so if a AC hits resistance you can give it a default behaviour. This will do all you've asked here i believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaf Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Thaks for the info... An SOP feature would definately be interesting. Here's a question: I have searched the forums but I have not seen anything that looks like offical information about CM2. All I see is people like me making proposals... Has Battlefront ever released any information regarding their intentions for the new game? Loaf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpig Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Loaf, check out the "STEVES RECENT BONES" thread in the CMAK forum.

zmoney Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Do they actually plan on makeing CM2. If so is the project even started? Does it even have its own web site? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
