nightlynx Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 While playing I sent a lone driver and HMMWV down a road where I figured he'd get killed. He got shot up and exited the vehicle and then went down with the red cross showing as he was wounded. He was laying several meters from the people who shot him and then about 30 seconds later he disappeared. Now I'm wondering, was it a bug? or did they capture him? I had LOS from another unit where he should have been but he wasn't there. This brings up my bigger question, how does the game decide who is considered MIA or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 If his base turned red he is either KIA or almost KIA and out of the battle for the duration. Its not a bug, if you see the red cross the guy is a casualty and even he is near by friendlies he disappears and this simulates a med evac, if he is not near friendlies as in your situation his body disappears and this "might" simulate him becoming a prisoner, but live or dead prisoners are not taken in this game, none the less, either way he is out of the fight and all red base KIA's disappear after about 30 secs in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtweasle Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Actually squad / team members even when not wounded end up MIA in CMSF. Sometime they get trapped underground somehow ala my "Mole Men Attack" thread, and sometimes they just vanish and then reappear, like I documented about the shape shifters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightlynx Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 If his base turned red he is either KIA or almost KIA and out of the battle for the duration.Once the base is red can the status of being almost KIA change to being fully KIA by events still taking place in the game, example is if someone is down with a red base and is just critically wounded if a explosion goes off on top of them will it make them KIA then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
