Jonny(FGM) Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Ok I know i'm rather sad but i was reading through the V1.11 feature list and found this Foxholes are no longer darkened, so they won't give away infantry positions. How do you get foxholes? I looked in the map editor but couldn't find it anywhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Foxholes are a rather generous description of what are minor indentations placed under troops at the start of a scenario. It's entirely possible you've just never noticed them before, they are that marginal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny(FGM) Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Ah i see, so if the side is defending they will have "foxholes" placed under them automatically? they don't need to be put in via the map editor like trenches? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny(FGM) Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Wow that is minor! Can't be more than a few inches deep! Also i notice (I used a marine TOW platoon) that crew served weapons don't get them, well they get the holes they just don't occupy them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 They are meant to be hasty shell-scrapes type positions and I believe they give an abstracted amount of cover slightly more than they appear to visually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny(FGM) Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Really? I thought with the new 1:1 ballistics there is no such thing as abstracted cover any more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryujin Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 There is abstracted cover still as while the ballistics are 1:1, the ground and clutter isn't. You'll see bullets pass through a guy without doing any damage if he's in abstracted cover (often rocky ground tiles, which only have little 2D rocks, but still offer some cover). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny(FGM) Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Ah ok, thanks for that that should be handy to know. But do foxholes get this abstracted cover? I don't see any need to abstract the cover, simply make the foxholes deeper, but then i guess they'd be easier to spot by the enemy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
