poppy Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 How about a "disorganized" status in between broken or routed for squads. Or instead of routed. Go hide if possible and reorganize. This would be a good quality for veteran squads? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Well, that's sort of what broken is. They're going to get out of there. If you let them alone in a quiet place for a while they will reorganize, regroup and recover, it just takes a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I don't think more TacAI-relevant unit status is the answer to a better CM... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 i think poppy perceives vets rout and run the same as greens. does the tacai vary the panic broken routed routine dependant on the level of troops? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 What I meant to suggest as an example is that when a squad dismounts from a h/t of tank under fire that they would scatter and be ineffective for a while. But when they got their s together they would not be labeled "!". I agree that more unit status conditions arent needed but that a "scatterd" or "disorganized" status could be used inplace of one of the existing unit status codes.?? poppy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 There's been a few discussions in the past on morale and veterans. The gist of it is that after a certain period in the fight, experienced soldiers are more likely to take flight or be pinned. Equally, they'll dig better holes and won't bunch so much, so they're harder to kill. Troops new to the action typically have a higher tolerance to casualties and enemy fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best to try and think of them as real human beings, and consequentially think what you would do in their shoes. CMAK infantry are perfectly capable of being as heroic as CMBO's though... it's just that in order to be a good commander you need to use a little psychology to try to understand their mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 The "!" with vets means "have lost faith in their CO". They are not broken after receiving lots of incoming that could have got them killed. They just know that the CO has screwed up once, doesn't care for their lives and hence will question any further command he gives.
