lewallen Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 i've been noticing that when i want to use e.g. an infantry gun to lay some smoke on a target, that if i give it a smoke target and then hit go, it will usually switch to another target immediately, even if they do not threaten the gun directly. i.e. it will cancel my smoke target and start blasting infantry an so forth with HE. this happens even if i give it a very narrow covered arc and set the smoke target line inside that. is there any way to force guns to smoke a target without them switching like that, or if not, will that be addressed in 1.02? ~sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Sounds like a bug to me. Be interesting to see if BFC has anything to say about this one. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Try adding a cover vehicle arc after you issue the smoke order. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Hey, something just occurred to me: does anybody know if a unit can simultaneously have both a covered arc and a vehicle arc? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Jerkov Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 I guess if you dont use the ''arcs'' its that way... heh. One negates the other, unless its a serious threat, TMK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Had the same thing a couple of times: Ordered a tank to give smoke ( area fire ) but the tank targeted an enemy unit and started shooting HE shells.......(they were harmless units for the tank, too far away to give any danger ) Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Tiger Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Yes, this annoys me too. Its the same with indirekt fire orders, my units do allways switching from a indirekt fire order to a target of her choices, even, if there are not in in danger.
