ZPB II Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I did a bit of searching but didn't come up with anything, so... I'm not expecting this to be implemented since it's sort of unrelated to shooty bits and the problem with managing prisoners is you'd always need to delegate some troops to looking after them, but... I was playing a CMSF quick battle where my Abrams tanks shot up a company of Syrian reserve tanks and as I was moving past the burning hulks my tanks kept shooting the poor survivors. I felt bad, especially since I just finished watching a couple of those History channel tank battle docs and the Pershing-Panther duel clip from Cologne (the one which shows the legless American tanker trying to crawl to safety on top of his burning Sherman + the burning German tanker) Now my point was I couldn't really rein my tanks, because a covered arc would stop them from responding to threats behind the burning tanks. So maybe something like a prisoner arc, that tells the unit to try and force a surrender from units inside the arc, shoot if they fire back, engage anything outside the arc freely...Not really an A-list concern, maybe something for the C-list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan/california Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Given the timeline to et too anything on the C list I am afraid we file this under "war is hell" for the foreseeable future. And to many people do gamey things with their AFV crews. They should really try to ease off the safe map edge. Maybe there is some way to encourage that with existing victory conditions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Springelkamp Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I expect them to surrender in CM:BN, and I expect forces not to fire on surrendering troops when not ordered to do so, like in CMx1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
