<r> Here´s some screen from a current generated campaign. 1943 german bad guys vs. soviet guards on beautifull ardennes map. Both sides forces auto generated. Just purchased an additional Arty. asset. As one can see I set lots of (to me) tactical meaningfull range settings. Those without rings are ...

Main hindrance rather is "broken" engagement range SOP where units neglect given orders for soft and hard targets. Doesn´t make sense nor adds to motivation tweaking terrain graphics, when ...

<t> Got to agree with most the mentioned issues here. To me main annoyance is units giving up on ordered engagement ranges when receiving any direct enemy fires. After these resets to MAX(H) and MAX(S) units not just keep selecting unwanted return fire targets, they also forfeit a chance to regain ...

In the official database, truck-mounted units would have AI purchase at zero, but since this is a mode it would be interesting to play test them more.<br/>

Got to agree unfortunately. From ...

The "hedgehog" type defense works ok for me generally. ATM mainly playing AB43 mod, so more distinct types would surely be desireable. But what is the logic for not allowing a unit once it leaves the foxholes to enter back at later time? (after retreat and recovering i.e) [&:]

<t> Excellent mod! [8D] At last made me purchase AB which I had in Steam WL for some time already. From my few test plays on various maps I think with some more adaptions it yields an even better WW2 experience. I.e some rather smallish thing would be unticking turret scanning for all WW2 turreted ...

Steel Panthers...off course! [:)]

<t> Many excellent suggestions from other posters here, particularly from Major Mess and DROregon, that I might add to mine as well! [8D]<br/>
<br/>
Can´t quite remember all the features added since SP 1, but since the further development of SP 3 to SPWAW to latest V 8.03, I very much welcomed ...

<t> some wishes for upgraded or polished Steel Panthers:<br/>
<br/>
Higher screen resolutions<br/>
Windows compatibility from XP onwards<br/>
Relative spotting system (no more borg spotting)<br/>
refined urban combat environments with multi story buildings incl. basements<br/>
wider range of ...

<t> There´s terrain/height smoothing coming into effect and terrain feature accuracy depends how much of any the layers outlines touch or intersect with the invisible 100m grid below. Thus you can´t have totally accurate map terrain/heights at this scale and it´s better to sacrifice some accuracy ...

<t> I´d say there´s no such programmed doctrine and the AI handles all forces the same, which is no big disadvantage, as by late 1944 all major combatants approached each other to a similar doctrinal frame (ground combat).<br/>

When it comes to early war period (39 to 42), things should look ...

Hi Rockinharry!<br/>
<br/>
I agree with you regarding the averaged value, and with you assessing that it's a problem not to factor in the different thickness of turret and frontal armor, if the CO engine really generalizes like that ...

<t> Well, if considering the Shermans all have an overall frontal armor of 100mm +, there´s some issues, the more when paired with elite/high morale units, like in Return to St. Vith maybe. I repeatedly cursed lacking performance of german armor in there and german player is far from repeating ...

OK consider a task option for CBF has now moved up the list for development.

Good to hear and a challenging task for sure. [8D]

<t> Basically the AI shoots at what it actually "sees" (depending on FOW level) or suspecting within its units line of sight. Next likely measurement is threat level and unit value, when it selects enemy units for Arty treatment. This is not true counter battery fire though, which normally involves ...
