Harv Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Here's a little information about some of the new things you'll be seeing in the CMAK demo, but were afraid to ask about. To begin with, we have some more detail about multiple gun tanks... The two guns are Not able to engage more than one target at a time. Only one target can be engaged, although either or both guns may fire throughout the turn, at the TacAI’s discretion. Multiple gun tanks can only be given One Cover Arc command, which includes both guns A Cover Arc command will Not cause the hull to rotate in the direction of the arc, but the turret will rotate normally (as in CMBB) in the direction of the arc. A manual Rotate command must be given if you want the hull gun pointed in a given direction. There are different ammo designations for multiple gun tanks now… “Normal” numbers, such as 116HE and 54AP refer to the ammo count for the turret gun. Numbers that end with a “7”, such as 20A7 and 32H7 refer to ammo remaining for the hull gun. HE will be H7, and AP shot will be designated A7. More to come. Stay tuned...

Pvt. Ryan Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Why 7? Is that some historical designation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harv Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 Sandbags... Sandbags are handled as a terrain feature by the game engine, and it can be assumed that their presence is always known due to advance scouting, aerial recon, prisoners etc. They represent a prepared fighting position, and can be used by any unit including vehicles.

Michael Emrys Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Originally posted by Harv: Sandbags...Hi, Harv, I have a question. In the desert troops did not always have bags (plenty of sand though ), so they created sangers or weapons pits by digging shallow holes and surrounding them with stacks of flat rocks to create low walls. These weren't as satisfactory as sandbags for protection because they tended to create secondary splinters when hit by shell fragments or bullets, but they were better than nothing. My question is, are these modeled specifically for their characteristics in the game? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harv Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 Alright Famine, that is bordering very closely on Grog-Talk and we'll have none of that here, unless we need some. Or something. Anyways, the answer to your question is...no. Harv 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sense any degree of niceness they will attack with grim ferocity. Try This: ATTENTION: FAMINE In a million years and a million lifetimes, if you came begging for just a drop from my bountiful well as your lips dried up into thin parched memories of their former luster, if all the lands of the earth rose up into the tallest mountains pushing their peaks into an atmosphereless sky, the odds of your request being included in CMAK would be the same as your: 1) IQ 2) Chances of Getting a date 3) The amount of available credit on your Credit Card which would be the same as saying: ZERO Hope this helps! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpkr Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Back to the original topic -- when the Lee takes a gun hit (that's the Grant for all you danged Yankees), how can you tell which gun has been hit? Will the other gun continue to fire? Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, after pinging a (seemingly) few thousand smallish caliber rounds off an M3 I finally got a gun damage result and... it looks like they both are damaged. I assume this is an engine limitation still, as the guns are listed as a 37mm + 75mm, and are almost treated as a single gun. Harv 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von Lucke Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 OOhhh! OOhhh! I have a question! What's with the seemingly more surrender happy TacAI? I'm getting quite a few more POW's then before. Also, I'm seeing initial sound contacts for guns show up as infantry markers (you have to click on them for a "gun?" indicator). Only after they've fired off a few more rounds does the generic towed field piece show up. Is this intentional? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
