Echo Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Make bunkers a terrain type instead of a unit. Bunkers can then be manned, or unmanned with various units. Units starting in bunker gets an ammo bonus. Different sized bunkers would have a "transport value", so that an individual units transport cost rating would count against to prevent overcrowding a bunker. Everything is possible with this: AT bunkers, rifleman bunkers, MG/MGs bunkers, crewing and re-crewing a bunker, etc. Just an idea.

Silvio Manuel Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 That's a nice idea. They would have to re-code the Bunker, which is now a quasi-"vehicle" such that when it gets KO'd, the non-crew unit bails out. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 There's a difference between a "vehicle type" and a "terrain type" - the former can be placed freely during the setup phase, the latter cannot. At least in the current engine. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishu Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Make it like halftracks and trucks.. using same type of action to get people in the bunker, which would be acting like vehicle, but people would be able to shoot from inside it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read on the forum a while back that BFC removed that ability because they didn't want hordes of Hillbilly assault trucks roaming the battlefield.

The ol one eye. Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I also like these ideas. The way bunkers are handled now seems pretty limited, this would be a great thing to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishu Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Gyrene, Looks like it is then already possible if just makes immobile bunker "vehicle" and let the "passengers" shoot from within with certain arc restrictions :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
