skelley Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I had a rhino sherman breach a low hedgerow. Tried to follow it with the other 4 Sherman's in the platoon. Each turned right and headed for the scenario designed break in the hedgerow to the northeast about 150m away. Subsequently 3 of them were destroyed by PzIVGs going the scenic route, and unless I stop the 4th, it will meet the same fate. I have the saved game if you want it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guachi Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Nevermind on my original comments. I wasn't getting what the screenshots were showing. I will say that it looks like the first waypoint might have taken the tank into a hedgerow and the AI made a poor choice of routing around it. What happens if you put one waypoint on the near side and one on the far side and have the line perpendicular to the hedgerow? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 To be fair looking at the screenshots in the first shot the waypoint is about 5 metres away directly in front of the tank. The second shot is 1 min later and Lt Oberly has gone rolling of to the right with the waypoint now behind him. But I agree with putting a waypoint on each side of the breach that seems to work for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFHutch Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I've sometimes had infantry take the long way when there's a perfectly fine opening in front of them, can be annoying sometimes. I tell myself it's just that the squad leader didn't see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelley Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Tried the waypoint on each side to no avail 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelley Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Maybe it has something to do with it being next to a bend in the hedgerow. I would say something is wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guachi Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks for trying with different orders. The screenshot with multiple waypoints clearly looks like it should go through. I wonder if, when you plot a move, the game could calculate the path it's actually going to take to get there and show it to you so you know before hand if it's going to do something strange. I've had problems similar to yours, but all of mine were clearly user error after I saw what I was actually asking the unit to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The only thing I can think of from the second set of screenshots is maybe the first waypoint is to close to the hedge and actually on the blasted hedge tile, possibly try it a little further back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yeah, that doesn't look right. George will pound on it and we can take it from there. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yeah, that doesn't look right. George will pound on it and we can take it from there. Steve Just taken a look at the save game file and played around with it. Does look odd in game so posted it as a possible bug Steve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I just played around with the file skelley sent me and yeah I tried every movement order with the tank buttoned and unbuttoned and everytime the tank would stop at the hedge line and swing to the right to go the long way. Of course this was somewhat amusing when i tried the reverse order with the tank deciding to go the entire long way in reverse. Looks like there is definately something going wrong there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemoN Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I've had a very similar thing with infantry, only difference is that the breach already existed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stikkypixie Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I've had a very similar thing with infantry, only difference is that the breach already existed. Did the guys start moving before the breach was created? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemoN Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Did the guys start moving before the breach was created? As I said the breach wasn't manmade and was already present on the map itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Visuals do not match the size of the hole. I experienced the same when destroying a hedge with engineers. One charge made a hole that appeared larger than one charge makes, but I had to blow up a second charge to fit my shermans trough. Just an idea, as this hole was not made by engineers... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I thought of that but then discarded the idea as it was made by a Sherman Rhino so you would expect a Sherman sized breach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I just ran into the same problem with low bocage, although I'm trying to dive a Jeep through it instead of a tank. Pioneers blasted 2 sections clear and then I plotted the jeep to move through the gap. The Jeep ignores the gap and drives around. I reloaded the save and blasted a 3rd section to make the gap extra wide. I tried using different move orders (Quick, Fast). No matter what I tried the Jeep won't even attempt to go through the gap. I have the saved game if anyone wants it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
