Shmavis Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 • The ability to send messages in between commanders, including the delay of those messages based on communication mechanisms used. I noticed this in the features section. Does this apply to human players? For example, if one human company commander's communication equipment(or methods, if no equipment is available) is less than efficient, will he receive a delay penalty if he tries to send a message to another human or AI player? Or does this just affect how long it will take Company A to, say, advance to the ridge that the battalion commander has designated on the game map? Ah, crap. I'm starting to confuse myself now.

Sergei Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 As I understand it from other paragraphs, there will also be delays regarding sharing of intelligence and such. Seems pretty refined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Pollock Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'm hoping we finally have a use for those German radio cars...you know, whichever PSW just has an MG and was primarily used as a rolling lightly armoured radio link. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmavis Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Let me try to clarify: Does this delay apply to Human maneuver element players who want to send a message to the overall commander on their side? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"• The ability to send messages in between commanders, including the delay of those messages based on communication mechanisms used." Based on this, I would say yes. Can't see any reason why not, if they implemented comm delay between manuever element commanders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 The whole command delay system is indeed pretty refined in CMC. You have various means of communication assigned to units: phone, vehicle, motorcyle, halftrack, ski, rider and runner. Effecivity depends also on if you're moving or not (especially for radio). So if HQ sends you an order via motorcycle, you might get it fairly quickly. If you want to report a spotted enemy but only have a runner, that will take a "bit" longer. All of this applies to human and AI controlled units alike. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
