Spacewrangler Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Does anyone know if a moving AFV is less able to "spot" a sound contact if it is moving? It would seem to me that they probably have a harder time acquiring sound contacts over the noise of their own revving engine, but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure if this has been modelled? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I can't provide you with a definite answer. I have noticed though that AFVs can spot sounds way too easy no matter what. In my opinion the only way an AFV crew could hear moving infantry and vehicles at all is by being stationary, hiding and unbuttoned. A buttoned AFV would be as good as deaf, and even unbuttoned with the engine revving would give a hard time hearing anything but big guns. As it is now I've had AFVs hear infantry moving through woods hundreds of metres away... Cheers Olle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 ALL Units see and hear less well when moving. AFVs in particular are very unlikely to pick up a sound contact while moving unless it's really loud - like a firing 105mm howitzer or something. I actually did some tests of this to satisfy my own curiousity in CMBO - I sincerely doubt that BTS has removed this nice little realism feature for CMBB.
