c3k Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 First, I need to state how very easy CM:SF has made calling in arty and air support. It's fun. I made a quick test scenario to teach myself how to call in air support. I made perfect dugin spotter terrain and placed a U.S. battalion hq element in a trench. I then (across the marsh ) placed about 50 T-72's. I assigned one of every type of air support to the U.S. side. Okay, fun and easy, right? Due to the massive number of support aircraft, I have no complaints about the amount of clicking I had to do. Oh, what is my complaint??? HOW DO YOU TELL WHAT THE SUPPORT HAS?? Yes, CAS and Facs etc, communicate. How do I tell what they're carrying? I noticed some elements had "+"s and some had bold "+"s. What does that mean? (Yeah, I read the PDF and the hardcopy manual.) What if it has a red "x"? Basically, the GUI needs some more explanation. On another note, something was dropping LARGE ordnance. (2,000 pounders?) Oooh, I LOVE the craters!! So, nice job modelling, nice job with the calling in interface, poor job with the user information. (And DO NOT tell me I don't need to know what ordnance they're carrying!!) All the pictures for the aircraft show the ordnance as 40mm grenades. Some only have a single redline grenade, others have 3 grenades, each up to a green level. WTF? Please explain.... Thanks, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker765 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Ah, padawan, but did you do a search? However, these answers do not come from an 'official' source and their answers are not exactly definitive. http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=52;t=002978#000000 http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=52;t=003081#000000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 you don't need to know what ordnance they're carrying that's the job of the Air Force and we aren't playing Close Air Support Mission... (just joking) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
