metalbrew Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I noticed a behavior that I thought I'd share. I was messing around in the editor and created a Bradley vs. T-72 fight. When the Bradleys were moving they always died first. When the Brads were stationary, they won the fight 3/4 of the time. When the T-72s were moving and the M2s stationary, the Brads won 9 out of 10 times. I came to the conclusion that either the fire control of the Brads can't outperform the fire control of the T-72 or the dust plumes getting kicked up by the moving Bradleys gave the T-72s a very quick spot. The optics and fire control on the M2s are really sweet, so I'm leaning towards the dust plumes being too much of a giveaway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavtroop Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Bradleys can't fire the TOW on the move.... edit: technically, they aren't even supposed to move with the TOW in the up position (as a former Bradley gunner, I'd have gotten killed for trying that), but they do in CMSF. thats a small issue, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondbrooks Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Which T-72s were they? Best or worst or somewhere in the middle? How about distances? How fast were they moving? I would suspect dust plumes and somesort of "movementpenalty" myself too. I'm TOW-squad's leader myself. We EVER fired them on move... As we were infantry-AT (you know TOW disassembled when on move and stuff) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, yeah, thats about the 1st thing I noticed when I saw the pre-release vids :-D No big deal though, I think of it as an absraction Secondbrooks - were you leg, or Humvee? I was also on a M901, those TOW units sucked to hump even just a few yards.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondbrooks Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 We operate on foot. Our transports (APCs SISU XA-series and tracked trucks NASU NA-series) are left about 1 km behind from fighting postions. We do have specially designed model of those same vehicles to which TOW can be attached, but it's not much used (atleast what i know of) as our terrain favors more infantry than vehicles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavtroop Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Ah, i assume you are a Finn, then? I had just assumed US, silly me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondbrooks Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 You assume quite right. Almost everyone here seems to be from US so i don't wonder that you assumed me being also from US 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
