<t> Currently, if I issue a sequence of orders including a “Contact” waypoint, and the units encounter enemies during the contact leg, they will forget all subsequent waypoints. This can be problematic when I wish to order units to ultimately move to a certain location while engaging enemies along ...

<t> Ideally both; I have had several instances where my tanks will (while reversing) expose their side armor to visible enemy that they had been engaging immediately prior. An alternative could be to retain further waypoints after a “contact” waypoint, as in the current setup these subsequent points ...

<t> The unit-level AI does not currently take enemy presence into account during pathing calculations, which can lead to units (especially tanks) exposing their side or rear to an enemy weapon. If more priority could be given to the presence of enemies over other factors, this would probably help in ...

<t> Wow, this topic has gotten a lot more traffic than I would have expected ... not that I’m complaining[:)].<br/>

I think the AI autonomy would need to be greater with an info delay, since the possibility of a situation such as yours developing and resolving before the ...

<t> That could actually be it; the BMP was at an obtuse angle to the facing of some of the closer units, and the area had been hit by artillery repeatedly, which could have released obscurants.<br/>
<br/>
Another interaction I observed was a different BMP-2 bouncing several shots to its front from ...

<t> That makes sense, and I agree that the return on investment is likely to be negligible, if not negative, since only a small portion of players would be interested in this feature. Ultimately this is a game, and capturing every aspect of reality is not possible (nor should that be the goal).<br ...

You have a good idea of where I am going with this proposal. Essentially (in my view) all military-tactical games exist on a spectrum between an actual combat environment (most realistic) to a Wargame-esque setup with no information or command delay (most gamey, having both ...

<t> Building off of my previous post, and moving to the "Suggestions" subforum:<br/>
<br/>
I would like to propose the implementation of an "information delay" in the engine for the (hypothetical) sequel. This would create information latency on both enemy units and friendly (player-controlled ...

<t> I just played through "East of Fulda", and noticed some odd interactions involving LOS/spotting. This mostly consisted of enemy units at point-blank range not being registered by my units, even though there were no obstructions.<br/>
<br/>
I ultimately lost several APCs to a single BMP-2 ...

<t> Well, I imagine that a time delay on feeding unit positions/status to either the AI or the player’s screen would be relatively straightforward; that is, the position/status of a certain unit at time (x) would be cached and then sent at time (x + info delay) to the screen/AI. Of course, the AI ...

<t> Not “no control”; the control scheme would be the same as it is currently (however, real-time information on unit status would not be available continuously, only updating as units report changes). That would probably require modifying the way in which this information is fed to the AI commander ...

<t> Well, in my concept, the player would have a “high level” overview; however, this would be out of date by various times depending on the unit (e.g. a single tank’s location would update less frequently/be more out of date than the tank’s commander, and so on up the chain of command). This would ...

Does this mean that if the player designates a “player avatar” unit on the map, they will have the viewpoint of that unit? That is, that the “player unit” designation will count as “selecting” a unit, and the viewpoint would be fixed to that unit regardless of ...

<t> Does this mean that if the player designates a “player avatar” unit on the map, they will have the viewpoint of that unit? That is, that the “player unit” designation will count as “selecting” a unit, and the viewpoint would be fixed to that unit regardless of any other units being selected.<br ...

Will this include both a delay in displaying the spotted locations of enemy units to the player, as well as a delay in displaying the locations of friendly units? That is, the positions of units displayed at the current time would reflect the situation “x” minutes before the current game time?

How feasible would it be to mod in an “information delay” (similar to command delay, but in the opposite direction)? As I understand it, the game currently displays all information as soon as it is received by any unit; however, realistically this would not be the case.

Hello,

Is CMANO likely to be 67% off again for the Halloween Steam Sale? Or any upcoming sales before that?
