Michael Dorosh Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 In CMBB, will it be possible to misidentify captured vehicles as "friendly"? Ie if I am playing Russian, and the Germans are using a captured T-34, will it be possible for my troops at first to identify it as "Friendly Armor?"

Kurtz Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 How about "friendly" fire in general? CMBO allows for "friendly" fire between troops, but not between vehicles (to my knowledge at least). What if your Pz IV fires at captured T-34 in your service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazManOught Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 If this happened then people wouldn't buy captured enemy tanks, so there would be no point in adding this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Aww, why didn't I think of that. Dog gone it, another good idea bites the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tero Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 IIRC both sides used captured AFV's IRL to make the sentries guarding bridges not far from the frontline etc. think for a few seconds longer before opening fire. Having a captured vehicle lead a collumn, especially in the dark, would make the enemy think all of the AFV's are friendlies after the first one is ID'd as a friendly.

Japper Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Scenarios are also a great way of learning how to play and to develop new tactics for specific situations (or to abandon a certain tactic ) But a well developed scenario is also a lot of fun to play!!!!!!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Crowley Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Scenarios/operations and computer picked (forces), randomized QB's. The only way to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyMoo Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 The only way I'll play a quick battle is if the computer picks the forces...otherwise, forget about it! My hat is off to all of you FINE scenario designers out there! Not only are you giving me SUPREME enjoyment from CMBO, but you're teaching me a bit of history as well! Bravo! Sir_Elgnid out!
