Sequoia Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I had an Abrams bog down on a slope. At least I assume it was bogged as I never could get it to move again. I was wondering, however, where can I check the status of the vehicle to read that it definitely is bogged? It's not obvious like the Cmx1 series, at least to me it wasn't. I searched the manual and found no answer. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Around the botton-center of the control panel. You either see nothing, or the word 'Bogged', or 'Immobilized'. I think its the same spot that shows that its been 'Destroyed'. ... that's odd, I just did a quick search for the word 'bog' in the pdf manual and got zip on the topic. :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 MikeyD is right, "bogged" vehicles show the word bogged and "immobilized" ones show immobilised there where it would display destroyed when it is destroyed. immobilized vehicles get the yellow unit base also. on top of that, you can see bogged vehicles trying to free themselfs, they are mostly not totaly stationary but often display turning weels/tracks and are moving verry verry slightly forward and backwards. in trenches one can see it the most. as in CMx1, after some time not manageing to free themselfs they become immobilized. with the new 1:1 repesentation i for myself find the bogging rules a bit generous. you can give them the most insane routes in fast mode and they mostly make it. however, it would be fun when vehicles wouldnt be glued to the ground and could "jump" and than "crash" on occasion, if path and movement speed wouldnt match each other. how cool would that be... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Has anyone noticed any difference in bogging for the different ground types? I've seen increased bogging in sand and mud, but is there also a higher chance of bogging on rocky ground, or gravel and such? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Not sure about getting bog down over rocky terrain, but you stand a good chance on throwing a track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I think that’s why they use the term “immobilised” to cover the various reasons why the vehicle “fails to proceed”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Yes, that's what I meant actually - bogging in the wider sense of immobilizing due to various reasons. Getting too lazy recenty... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
