thejetset Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I was playing the Bocage scenerio as the US. My Company Commander was behind my two platoons by about 100 yards. (I had him with my 60mm mortar teams). My logic was that all my Company and Platoon COs have radios. Therefore, I thought the forward platoon COs could act as spotters and order in 60mm missions via the radio (instead of having to remain within voice or eye contact range) However, after the two platoons advanced forward some, I noticed there was a red "X" in front of the "Company" level of the Chain of Command icon. (I wish I would have taken a screen shot). Did the Company CO loose radio contact with his Platoon CO's?? ... Under what circumstances can this happen?? ... They were not more than 150 - 200 yards apart. I thought that the radio ranges should be valid for such a short distance. ... or maybe it is a different reason all together?? Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wengart Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 What were the Plt. HQs doing? It's not uncommon to lose radio contact on the move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSB Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Wait some time keeping your Plt. HQs stationnary and radio contact will be back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejetset Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 That's really cool. Yeah, I had my platoon CO's moving around a lot at the time I noticed they lost contact. I wasn't sure if that was the reason though. That's a great modeling feature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanir Ausf B Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I noticed this is also modeled on tanks. When the radio operator is firing the bow machine gun the tank loses radio contact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
