c3k Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Gents, Playing CMBF. One of the Brit trucks (whatever they're called... like Land Rovers on steroids. They can hold 4+4 soldiers.), gained a contact on the enemy. The truck was transporting a 4 man engineer team and was being driven by a 2 man sniper team. I QUICKED the engineers out and faced them to the contact. I dimounted the driving team, the snipers. The contact disappeared (ELITE difficulty). Neither group, the erstwhile drivers nor the former passengers, saw the contact. HOWEVER, selecting the EMPTY truck allowed me to see the contact. In short, the EMPTY truck KNEW about the enemy, but no-one who was just IN the truck knew about them... Savegame available.

GSX Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Maybe the truck is higher than the soldiers and thus can see them gamewise. I fully understand that in RL it wouldnt be so but gamewise maybe it can be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 The point being that the truck is EMPTY. No driver. No one. It is the ghost truck... If the driver knew about the contact prior to dismounting, but then lost LOS to the contact point, THAT could (and may be) simulated in the game. That would be "?" known to the unit but with NO LOF. In this situation there are no "?" visible when the former driver or former passenger unit are selected. When the empty truck is selected, the "?" becomes visible.

Pvt. Ryan Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I didn't think spotting worked when you click on an empty vehicle. In my experience clicking on an empty vehicle is the same as not clicking on anything - you can see what all units combined can see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEzra Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 When you click on an empty vehicle it's exactly like clicking on a bit of terrain and thus getting the overall unit sighting. To test this this just click on some terrain and then click on the empty vehicle The sighting results should be identical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 MarkEzra, I'll test it more thoroughly. Thanks, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
