Herr Kruger Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Does anyone else think that when you positively identify a unit, you shouldn't be able to know it's experience level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissar Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 When Im playing, I usually only find out an enemy unit's experience level after my own men have been in close quarter combat with them. Thus, I find it realistic. Why? I think combat troops would generally be able to tell the difference in performance between conscripts (forgetting basic drills, making stupid mistakes, looking like they are lost in the middle of a firefight), regulars (doing most of the drills, generally not doing as much mistakes, more or less coordinated), and veterans + (instinctively reacting to danger, shooting straight and doing things right, acting with coordination).

109 Gustav Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 CMBB willh have a new "extreme" FOW setting. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I'd guess that you won't be able to see unit experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie the Toad Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Well that was odd. Just as I posted agreement with Herr Kruger, the Commisar got in his post. So who do I agree with? Well generally HK except if you are really close as the Commisar says. Weren't units as a whole identified as "veteran" or "green" and this would be more appropriate. 'Ok men, we are up against the __________ a veteran unit'. But not modeled in CM. Toad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offtaskagain Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 What i would like to see is a more vague description of the units experience. I agree it would be possible to differentiate a veteran unit from greenhorns but i dont think we should be decide between crack and elite. I want to see something like maybe only 2 or 3 classifications of experience visible. Like maybe just label them green or veteran. It would be hard to get more specific than that from watching a unit for a minute or two on a battlefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
