Eden Smallwood Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 A halftrack, bogged in "Road". Concrete type o' road, even. Is this supposed to be possible? I mean, it's not a big deal to me, personally, but I know that 'excessive bogging' is one of the things tweaked in the patch, and I've never bogged on concrete before, so, er, I dunno... anybody want the saved game, or should I just eat my Wheaties™?

In some scenarios the concrete is still wet. (This, btw, is how the Russians captured so many German AA guns - wet concrete traps.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanir Ausf B Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I think "bogging" also includes mechanical breakdown such as thrown tracks or FUBAR transmissions. Not sure, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Vanir's impression of bogging is mine too. I don't know how accurate it is, but I believe that it represents more than just the terrain being the impediment to movement. In this case a mechanical breakdown of some sort (moving at 'Fast' speed a little too much ?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, though.I wonder if in this case it goes directly to immobilized without first being bogged. I had two tanks become immobilized in a recent QB (one on a dirt road), but I wasn't watching when it happened, so I don't know if they went through all the stages.

Tha_Field_Marshall Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 I was under the impression that mechanical breakdowns were out of the scope of CMBB, but im not sure exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohjusmies Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Have you ever seen russian roads? I assure you it's possible to get stuck on the potholes they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarquon Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 BTS said that breakdowns are out of the game's scope. This is an example of those 'one in a 100.000' chances. Bogging is IMO possible in every terrain and ground condition, only for roads the probability is *quite* low, especially with light halftracks. But if your armada includes 100.000 halftracks, you can expect to see one of them get stuck. P.S.: the square root of the I-Ching% number should be about 0.0043. This needs further tests but my CPU can't handle 100.000 halftracks on parallel roads at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[snips]I've had a T-34 end up immobilized in a road, I think by bogging irrecoverably in brush by the roadside and rolling into road terrain before the immobilization took effect. All the best, John.
