Thomm Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 I am still "evaluating" the CMBB demo! Using the new Hull Down order a question crossed my mind: what is the hull-down status measured against for the seek hull down order? a) terrain level or average height of enemy tanks turret/gun I suppose that in flat terrain this distinction will become important! And the suggestion: if the tank is already in LOS or hull-down to the selected point then, by all means, CANCEL the order upon execution or refuse to accept it from the beginning! I was shocked as my tanks started advancing towards the horizon in enemy territory after I misjudged their initial hull-down status!

Firefly Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Well the LOS tool will tell you if yor tank is already hull down. If it automatically cancelled a hull down order this would prevent you from moving from one hull down position to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so convinced that the Hull Down label would appear at the location of the CURSOR that I did not even notice the label at the center of the tank from which the LOS line emerged! So NOW I suggest to move the Hull Down label to the other labels beneath the cursor (distance, terrain type, etc.) Regards, Thomm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 [Edited because I can't read...] Might I ask, since some here have obviously used the command, am I correct in my reading of the Readme in that you place the hulldown waypoint on the location that you wish to be hulldown to?

It is a very nice command and it is fascinating to see it work! Regards, Thomm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
