Northman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Are individual soldiers too insensitive to incoming fire? That is, do they take too long to go from 'spotting/firing' status to 'covering'? Here is an example to illustrate: A scout team with rifles spots an enemy HMG. They open fire and kill one man, and then the MG opens fire, releasing an enormous amount of fire directly on them at short range. It is able to do so for FIVE seconds before one of the scouts decides to seek cover. Shouldn't they go prone rather quickly in that situation? (note that I don't object to one of them being killed by fire coming from a different direction) I've noticed that they take even longer to hit the ground when they are reloading their weapons in these kinds of situations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I think one of the problem is, there is no "taking cover" animation. The guys going down are cowering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Yes it isn't "covering" it's "cowering". These guys are supressed and in a poor morale state. The idea is that guys that are ok will always attempt to put fire down on the target, as it should be perhaps. There's no explicit action to take cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
