FJ Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Tanks that are firing at infantry will continue to fire at the infantry target even though a enemy tank appears in their line of sight...It is very frustrating to see get knocked out while firing at infantry, and not even getting a shot off at the other tank...Is this a bug in the program?...Tanks should automaticly switch targeting to the enemy tank.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 1)What is the experience level of your tank? A Vet will react quicker than a Green tank. 2)Was your tank buttoned up? Did he take a casualty? This will limit visibility a great deal. 3)Are you sure your tank can see the enemy tank? What might look like a clear LOS from camera #3 might not be so at ground level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ Posted June 20, 2001 Author Share Posted June 20, 2001 Both tanks were "regulars"...mine was buttoned up...The line of sight must of been clear if the other tank nailed mine...Thanks for your replay... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 No, tanks shouldn't "automatically" switch targetting to an enemy tank, I'm not sure what gave you the idea they should. As Kingfish said experience plays a part in your armor reacting to threats but more importantly whether it is buttoned or not. Buttoned AFVs suffer a noticeable penalty in seeing and acquiring targets, ie they are 'blind'. Ron 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 There are several things going on here: 1) Buttoned tanks will take a bit of time spotting new threats. There is good reason for israeli-style fighting (i.e. unbottoned unless under arty or close range infantry attack). 2) If you manually targeted the enemy infantry, the tank might well keep targeting it even if a new threat should arise. That type of target is 'stickier' than autmatic targeting. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ Posted June 22, 2001 Author Share Posted June 22, 2001 Seems to me if a tank sees a enemy tank it should switch from a infantry target to target the enemy tank...This should be automatic even for a inexperienced crew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 Just becuase you can see it does not mean the tank crew have spotted it yet. I'm sure that this is the reason why more moniters are broken playing Cm than say Quake (what ever that is) When a tank is buttoned they tend to have tunnel vision unless something alerts them to a new threat eg shell bouncing of their armour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
