thewood Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Ran Wadi Scouts hotseat modified with a BMPs as a test. Start up from US: 4 grayed out ? seen from the start...seems reasonable that the strykers could see these bunkers. Hit start: get a few more greyed out ? with no info Got BMP fully recognized after about 30 sec. play time but info on it. Got solid on bunkers but no info other they are crewed. Played a couple of turns but no significant change in intel. I really like the relative spotting thing. Turn 5: during the Syrian turn, I openned up the BMP. About 5 seconds into the US execution, I immediately got an icon for the HQ unit being exposed. No info on it, just that it was an HQ unit. I did notice that if I leave the BMP closed, when I order it to fire, the commander opens, mans the AT4, fires, then buttons again. What did I learn: The intel and FOW work great. One small exception is that the US immediately knew it was an HQ unit as soon as it openned up. I also checked and saw as soon as I opened up the BMP, the HQ being carried stuck their bodies out of the hatches. I am going to test with different infantry units to see if its only HQs that get immediately recognized or all infantry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Agreed. It works well with the exception you stated. I don't want to know its an HQ unless I've had quite a while, at a reasonable range, to keep it under observation to see the extra radio antennas, etc, that give it away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 I think CM had the same issue that you would know it was an HQ. Not sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yes, even on extreme, you still get a little too much info, too fast, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Krejcirik Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 More FOW is needed, this is still way too much of information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
