Nik Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Maybe i´m totally wrong but why aren´t those platoon HQ not in command with those company HQ`s :confused: . This should give the game one more level of realism. So it would be easier to command a hole company and the ability of the company HQ would be to the benefit´s of the hole unit as it would be or was in real combat. This would give the company HQ and the higher ranks more weight ???!!! in a battle. At this time those upper HQ are only worth to use for guns or killed platoon HQ or retreats if the platoon HQ is out of order . I think there is more possible and it would be easy realize it in a patch!!!! Maybe :cool: Any reply is welcome Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually just put them with support units, and I was curious to why they were left out of the COC... at least in a more effective role(bonus command, combat.. whateva... ).

Nik Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 This is exactly what i´m thinking about. The commander of a company or higher should have better or in most case some special ability. I think we have to keep in mind that most of them did their duty before and got so some experience more and more combat education. Most of them got promoted for their performance and ability Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacX Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Originally posted by Nik: Most of them got promoted for their performance and ability NikSo not for their political ideals then? Why should someone higher in the C.O.C. be assumed to be more capable in a game, when we all have our own experiences in real life that show that people quite often get promoted beyond their abilities? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 We are talking about fighting troops not third line !!!!! Commanders of such troops were usually experienced and well educated or very fast dead especially on the rusian front. Most of those let´s say special promotions worked somewhat behind the frontline andwasted the life of the fighting troops. But back to the game wouldn´t it be more realistic with a command system taking in those company leaders ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argie Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Just put the Plt HQs out of command line as backup and the Coy HQs as actual COs. Presto! You got the bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argie Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 This was wrote in the CMBO Gold Demo days, but the COC mechanics are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianc Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 That article doesn't really address his question however. I tend to agree with the original poster. I'm puzzled as to why there are no bonuses given to an in-command platoon leader. Why not bump a platoon leader's rating by one if he's in good order and in C&C of his company commander? ianc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argie Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Then, why not having HQs with negative bonuses? I think BFC choose the system for simplicity, yet including CoC to some extent in the game. And it works very well, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 I agree. Not every commander is good why not have some negative effects. But still i think it´s worth talking about making those command lines more realistic and thi means they could have negativ effects ,too. I still think those guys from battlefront could do such thing with little efforts. :cool: So if there would be command lines between upper HQ it would make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
