Wiggum Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hallo, While i play today i found a terrible BUG... The Squad was ordered to attack the house from the position you see. I think they will through granades into the windows, but the guy with the rocket-luncher shot and kill the halfe of his own sqaud ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I think I found bugs in your post: Hallo should be "hello" Play should be "played" Think should be "thought" Through should be "throw" Granades should be "grenades" kill should be "killed" Halfe should be "half" sqaud should be "squad" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Uhm, I'm not sure I'm following you. Who did what? For as far as I can see the US still has both AT4s and no CLU for a Javelin so couldn't possibly have hit itself with a rocket. Did you mean the M203 40mm grenade launcher? Smoke/dust seems to be a bit much for that, to be honest. And M1a1, if you had been more observant you would have noted that Wiggum is playing the German language version of CMSF. So give him a break on his English, why don't you?! How is your German? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Well, I am Russian, so whats wrong with that? And I took a year of German, so I am ok with it. I also know some Latvian, Korean, Japanese, Polish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im 100% sure that it was no enemy firing at me at this moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Were you using an Assault order? What firing orders was the unit under? How did you order the movement / attack? Was it a split unit? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unit was not split. Greetings 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Well, if you are ordering Fire point-blank range, the troops are going to die from grenade and rocket back-blast...Next time just put some distance between your pixel-truppen and the haus I dont think the game simulates throwing grenades through the windows 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 I dont think the game simulates throwing grenades through the windows [/QB]I do this every time ! A Squad at the outside of a building throws grenades into the building, this normaly works... At the picture you see the target mark 9m away from the sqaud...at this range they should not use Rocket-Lunchers... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Perhaps the AT soldier wanted to punch a hole in the wall? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMuhammed Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Did your squad have 3 AT4s to begin with? Normally they only have 2. The enemy could have grenaded them or hit them with an RPG. Like Elmar said, there seems to be a lot of smoke for a grenade. Are you playing WEGO? If you play it back you will probably find that someone shot them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 This picture should prove everything. The dead Soldiers let always the Weapon fall what they used last i think ! I searched the house, noone where there. And no shooting is going on at all... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 That screen shot shows that there is no breach in the wall, and the window is made from glass blocks. Seems to me that AT soldier just followed your orders: fire at the building to make a hole. You just had the soldiers way to close to the building, so they were killed by the back-blast. It's not a bug, but bad tactics BTW, you should try my 3rd ID infantry mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bug, but bad tactics ...you need no breach in the wall ! Normaly the soldiers through there granades inside the haus in this situations, try it out yourself. An fireing a rocket-luncher at a target 9m away from you is very stupid.

You wouldn't happen to have the savegame of this incident, would you? If you could, please email it to the addy in my profile and I'll look in to what's going on. Something odd, that much is for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmar Bijlsma Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Pity, afraid those savegames are too early and too late to see exactly what happened. But thanks for reporting, I'll keep an eye out for it. If anyone sees something similar, please save the game immediately and send it to a tester or BFC themselves. Cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also know some Latvian, Korean, Japanese, Polish Hey M1, I understand you were just pointing out the irony of someone criticizing something with a post full of errors. It made me smile when I read your first post. Still I must agree with Elmar that there is no need for ridiculing the guy since he is new here and English is not his native language. I think it's great that you can communicate in English so well and also know a bit of those very difficult languages you mentioned. IMO people with broken English should also be welcomed here as long as they are trying to contribute with something. Funny you mentioned you are Russian. In the TOW forum several developers of the game post constantly. Russians all of them. They are extremely helpful, polite and answer all the questions the players throw at them. It is indeed a privilege to have them in the forum. Still, their English is not very good. Sometimes it is hard to understand what they are trying to say. But some people have more talent for languages than others. They are not in the forum because of their English skills but because of what they can do to help players. And they are doing an excellent job. Not to mention the great game they have produced. What matters in my opinion is the willingness to contribute with something positive. I'm not sure Wiggum will contribute with something other than finding questionable bugs but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindry69 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hmm, should they even able to fire the AT4 at a target that close? I read that the AT4 has a 100 meter backblast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 i also think thats kinda stupid. i guess there arent that many soldiers who would fire an AT4 from 1 meter into the wall of a house, even when ordered. they should halfter the AT4 in the first place and take the M4 here, and use the handgranades for example. as far as i undertstand thats what they do normaly in the game and this is indeed a bug, so hopefully it wont happen too often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman552 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I set up a quick battle in a city and got a U.S. engineer platoon with Bradleys. I set up each of the three squads next to buildings and had each one "area fire" into the buildings, at an average range of 5 meters. Each squad was fully loaded with 2 Javelins and three AT-4s. All three squads fired their AT-4s, and two squads managed to frag their own men, losing two men from each six-man squad. The third squad had one wounded (yellow) soldier, and was pinned for several minutes. There were no enemy forces within 300 meters, and they were all out of LOS anyway due to the buildings. The troops were seen throwing grenades into the buildings (not necessarily through the windows.) I guess the bug here is the AI having the pixeltruppen fire their AT-4s at such close range, regardless of the blast effects - not bad tactics, but poor AI weapon selection at bad-breath distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Before i go into a house where are possible full with enemys i always set a area target to bring my troops to through granades into ! I think this should be simulatet correctly to simulate Urban Warfare at all. My english is bad, i know but i dont want to select each word correctly from a english-book...thats coast to much time.
