Dave H Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 What do most people in here play for their battles? Full FOW or Extreme? Always with extreme. If I want to play a game where I can see the entire battlefield there's always chess. Limited visibility is in my opinion one of the outstanding features of the CM series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Speaking of "full" and "extreme" FOW - and "tree coverage" for that matter; Can anyone explain to me the meaning of "extreme"? I should think "full" means 100 % which I would translate to "realistic conditions". So what´s "extreme" supposed to simulate: Going into battle blindfolded? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Full is neither 100% or realistic. Extreme is not necessarily the hardest setting. I'd rather use full as recommended setting. It is very hard for the game to correctly id certain vehicles on extreme. Which does affect the TacAI. E.g. a T34/85 will use cover panic from a JPzIV/70. Yet if it is a mere "StuG?" for the TacAI, the T34 will happily blast away at the front of the JPz... which means certain death. Even if you heard the distinctive 75L70 sound (and saw the front shrugging of hits), the TacAI will ignore your knowledge. Even stationary crack HQs 350m away from the JPz won't yield full id's. Realistic? Well, I've never been there Thus "extreme FOW" does favor players which uses rare variants of standard vehicle types. Given that the German player usually has more toys to choose from, in most periods it favors the Germans. Extreme favors the side with more experienced troops. Given the "1 level penalty" for early war Soviets, extreme will most likely favor the Germans in early war. So if you play the Germans, full is usually harder than extreme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
