Gen-x87H Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I am in the process of redesigning my MP version of CM. What I want to do is have the ability to coordinate production of guns\vehicles\tanks. For instance a Volks squad has 6 Kar 98s,2 SMGs, and a LMG. I came to a crude determination on how to arrive at a point value per gun. Kar98 = 1 SMG = 2 LMG = 4 I determined this by taking the squads value and cutting it in half. Then delegated the points among the guns based on my estimation of firepower. I figured the other half of the points would be devoted to manpower. But what I am wondering is your opinion on whether this is a good system for determining the value of the gun. If not how would you come to a point value per gun. This will also apply to all other weapon systems. Right now I am much more worried about concentrating on the small guns. Thanks, Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther G Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 If you mean price per unit, then it could be solved with a simple algebra equation. Give every weapon a designation, x for K-98, y for MG-42 and so on. Then all you have to do is say: "5x (5 K-98's) + 2y = 35. If you have multiple equations then this should be easy to solve. I'll crunch some numbers right now and post the results... Regards, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther G Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 OK, here it is: Type............................Cost K-98............................2.7 MP-40.........................2.75 MP-44.........................2.775 MG-42.........................7.25 Pioneer, Engineer, and HQ units are impossible to compute, due to bonuses. I'll compute the Allied weapons right now... Regards, Ryan P.S. If I left out a weapon just tell me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther G Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Here's the American/French weapon stats: Type............................Cost M-1..............................2.5 Thompson SMG.......3.5 M-1 Carbine..............4.0 BAR............................5.5 British/Polish are on the way...

Panther G Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Here's the British/Canadian/Polish weapons *Note* I ran into serious difficulties in this area because the CM engine displays the point value as rounded. Needless to say, this led to some difficulties; like here: "4a (Lee-Enfield) + b (Sten SMG) = 13 or 3a (Lee-Enfield) + 2b (Sten SMG) = 13. This was inconsistent with my other results so I just put down the point values as close as a could. Type...................................Cost Lee-Enfield Rifle.............2.5~ Sten SMG..........................3.0~ Bren LMG..........................6.0~ I hope this helps you.
