Cameroon Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Is there some AI setting that I need to enable so that the Leopard does more than sit there as a pretty big target in the "Dogfight" demo mission? For an experiment I went got into 5th gear and drove to, oh, 50 feet from the Leopard before firing. I think, when I was like 100 feet away, it MAY have started its engine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester_159th Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I was wondering about this as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliot Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Same, I've got it to move only once with a sabot from .5k on its 3'. Most of the time its just remained stationary. Does the crew abandon the tank based on damage? Morale? They bailed out once after I hit the Leopard with a single round of the AA. The four crew all piled out and ran for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonxa Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Same thing here, no reaction at all from the Leo except the crew bailing when I hit them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Well, I drove up to about, oh 100 yards away, and fired a round into the tread, which caused one guy to pop out dead like bread from a toaster. It also set the Leopard to a slow drift to its left which eventually stopped after it had almost turned fully broadside to me. I fired another shot into a hopefully non-critical area and that seemed to wake it up a bit... at least, it rotated its turret. Then there was a TON of something going off. I think someone in my T-72 fired off the smoke mortars when the Leopard turret came to bear on us. So I fired another hopefully-non-critical and the same thing happened. Turret rotated, mortars fired, that's it. I had tried upping the experience of the enemy AI to 20 (from the 5 it starts at), but that didn't seem to do anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Interestingly, I went back and the "20" that I set the AI experience to did not stick. I am trying now at 10, and will see if that sticks and/or makes any difference. Nope, no difference. Now I think it's the Leopard firing off the smoke though.

klugman Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 The English demo sux. I am downloading the russian demo now that I know the commands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Only thing about the English demo that I like is that it performs better on my machine. I have the Russian demo and am thinking of doing the same as you klugman. If the Leopard would do anything it would possibly be a different story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Maybe it doesn't have ammo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester_159th Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Has anyone that's still got the Russian beta demo tried to import any of the missions into the English version? I just went and checked the link to the beta demo that was posted on here a while back...But it now links to the English version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pad152 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 There's no combat in the game demo! I was hoping to pit my tank and squad of infantry against an enemy tank and infantry. Was this asking too much for a demo of a tank combat game? Very Disapointing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klugman Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I tried to slide the missions from the russian demo into the English version, but to no avail. The Demo will not work at all then. I cant understand why they took all the good missions out of the English demo. I am going to buy the game, but would like to practice before I recieve it. The only thing you can really practice in the demo is driving and shooting ducks. At least in the russian demo you can get blown away. That is when it isnt crashing to the desktop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuomiKp Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Anyone know where I could download the russian demo ? I dont know how long it takes when I get my copy from Battlefront and I'd like to see some action 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Here's hoping that BFC comes in on Monday and says "Oops!" and releases a patch or something that tells the Leopard to do anything. Even moving would be an improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester_159th Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I hope you're right, Cameroon. As it stands at the moment anyone who has only seen the English demo without having seen the Russian beta first would probably be quite put off. It would be a great pity if this isn't remedied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameroon Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Originally posted by Aries: I hope I havent done a mistake ordering before checking the demo .... Bloody compulsive buying My complaint (and this thread's complaint) is that the English demo is two tutorials (no one firing back) and a "Dogfight" scenario that is rather pathetic since the Leopard just sits there. It isn't a complaint against the game The Russian demo shows off the gameplay a lot better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoHedgehog Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 The bad guys in the full version will fight back, my 4-9 record in campaign missions can attest to that. I'm kind of suprised no one from battlefront has weighed in on this problem with the demo yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klugman Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I went ahead and bought the game. Not because of the crappy, content deflated English demo. I bought it because the russian demo really feels like a war is going on. That is when it isnt ctd'ing. Cant wait to get it. Judohedgehog I also wonder if they will fix the English demo. Kind of a let down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Well, after some investigating, it looks like there is indeed a really nasty typo in the demo which makes the game look for a script that isn't there. Hence the sitting duck Leo. It has been missed during final QA, probably because when you have the full version installed at the same time, it isn't noticeable. Well, not really an excuse of course. We'll fix this and will release an updated version of this worthless piece of deflated garbage soon. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
