c3k Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Gents, Right now I understand "Target Light" yields the yellow target line and "Targe" begets the red line. However... Given two Bradleys, one has depleted its ready TOW missiles, the other has not. Let's call them "TOW-less" and "TOW-able". Now, if I do NOT want TOW-able to shoot its missiles at a target, but rather just fire its coax and 25mm I use "Target Light". Fine, TOW-able has a yellow line. Next I use "Target" for TOW-less. It has a red line. Both TOW-able and TOW-less are hitting the same target with the same weapons and, presumably, the same effects(all else being equal). But the USER INTERFACE shows something different. Let's hit that again: SAME EFFECT, DIFFERENT INTERFACE. That doesn't seem right. Did I mention the game shows a DIFFERENT INTERFACE for the SAME EFFECT? I think you see where I'm going with this. Any thoughts? BF.C?

George MC Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Not sure it makes all that odds to me. I can see what you mean, that if the TOW are all fired then it should be the 'target' command that is not available rather than target light. I must admit I don't find it confusing or 'broke'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I don't see this as much of a problem neither. But then again I play exclusively RT, and I see it can be more confusing in WEGO when plotting complex movements with numerous units. Still, maybe better to leave it the way it is and have vehicle-launched missiles get their own fire-command. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Okay, now we're rolling! 2 out 2 posters agree (as far as I can tell). That creates a consensus. This means that CMSF players OVERWHELMINGLY agree that BF.C should fix this. BF.C, take note! Your consumer base is speaking... Thanks, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Nope - I don't agree - I just said I don't see it as being a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Ken Where do you get that two out of two agrees with you and that CMSF players OVERWHELMING agree with you? I think you need to step back from the computer and stop trying to impress everybody. And I think theres nothing wrong with the way it is now. Just my two cents worth but what the hell do I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Marshal Blücher Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'm also fine with the way it is now. It seems like a major change for a minor (if that big) problem, when BFC could be working on a lot of stuff that's more important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 George Mc, only one vote allowed. JohnO, I'm putting you in the "I'm for this" column as well; that's 3 out of 3! Get on the consensus bus! FMB, whoa, make that 4 out 4! Anyone else? If you like how "Target" and "Target Light" can have the same color lines, why not have the same color lines for all the various movement commands? BF.C, you could save money doing that. No wasted multiple colors. It's cheaper to code only one color, right? Thanks, Ken (For the humor impaired, which includes some here, take a closer look at what I posted.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neepster Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'd rather have a "Target Missile" command than muck about with target and target light. It never ceases to piss me off when I accidentally TOW some building that I just wanted to suppress with my Bradleys... Given that the Bradleys carry on 2 (or are so modelled), that is a real PITA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
