David Chapuis Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 How is this possible? I have a unit in OK status sitting on the flag. The German inf is routed. The tank is close enough to push (I assume). How is this German controled. I know I have done tests and tanks dont trump infantry. Or am I just wet behind the ears in that regard? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodlebug Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Your unit is a team (1 Sqd B)and I think IIRC the game does not rate teams highly in control calculations. Therefore the tank does "trump" the infantry. Would have been different if it was a squad in full on the objective as it would probably have been contested. I could be wrong but I imagine someone will be along shortly to point that out if I am wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim1954 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 The routine goes something like this: Imagine a circle around the VL, 80m in diameter if VL is in LOS of unit, 50m if it's not in LOS. Basically, the side with more "control" that is inside of the above circles, has more influence. Strength of control is roughly equal to the unit's purchase cost. There are some fudge factors in there I believe, too. Damage must be somehow taken into consideration. The further inside the circle a unit is(closer to the flag), the more "control" it exerts. All of this is paraphrased from pp. 43 in the CMBB manual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvidae Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Pretty much, A Half squad is less valuable than a tank 2 men of a 3 man team is less than a tank. The tank wins, But you do hold all the other flags, so why worry,,,,, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoat Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Is that an endgame shot or an in-game shot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Chapuis Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 end-game AAR. Why worry? Because it was a 55-45 draw is one reason. And I know that I have seen cases where 1 piat team has pushed a flag surrounded by a whole platoon of germans and a jadgpather. So I dont think the 'team isnt worth as much' theory is correct. More screen shots and tests when I have time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Chapuis Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 well i did some tests (and i will try to post screen shots later) i guess i am wet behind the ears. apparently tanks to trump teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tar Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Well, consider it the other way around. How would you feel if you had the tank and the other side had the infantry team. Wouldn't you feel robbed if you didn't get the flag? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
