c3k Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Gents, In game I had one of my squads shoot THROUGH a building and THROUGH 4 floors to hit an enemy soldier. Screenie.... My guys were there, at the bottom of the building on the right, looking to the left. The poor guy on the balcony thought he was safe! Fool... I'm not sure it's correct that my guys could spot the enemy, let alone get some rounds on target. Thoughts??? Thanks, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSX Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 This happens all the time, I can only imagine that the actual combat indoors is abstracted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 The abstraction for indoors works fine...for me. The ability to shoot through windows and doors is cool. I like having my guys cluster on windows. (Oh, yeah, I HATED learning that having a squad set up by a large picture window merely makes them an RPG target. Many casualties later, I've learned to avoid those windows!) So, outer building walls affect firepower. Stairs are abstracted. All is good. What is "odd" is firing through 3 intervening floors, 2 walls, and at a soldier lying down on a balcony on the far side of the building...

Thomm Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 c3k, From my beta tester days I recall that you have to submit a save game if you want a situation like this to be investigated. And I agree that something like that should not happen, abstracted buildings or not. Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 If you have save of this you can send it to my email (PM me for address). I'll take a look and post a report it if needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I agree that the LOS across several floors is at times a bit generous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yeah, I can buy military rifle rounds penetrating both "solid" walls of a modern tilt-up building, which are usually not load-bearing elements, but not diagonally upward through the floors, which are poured cement on metal with steel lattice. The only way to hit targets deep in the building and higher up is with AP rounds, frag or ricochet.... should be a hefty TEM bonus, like at least 3 times the value of an exterior wall at the same level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
