Very important bugs - I think

Post by Maciej Dutkowski »

Two topics:
1. Scenario: Frozen Hell (39) - finish infantry looks like soviet tanks (KV, T28, t34), and have some armor Image.
2. Why germany infantry for e.g. in 1930, 1931 have MG34 ????? I think this is incorrect armament for this period. Germany infantry were very poor, and have WW I equipment.
I think it's reason to next patch Image

Howdy

1. This happened because Finnish oob was totally rewritten and most of the units were relocated within the oob file. Thus the scenario finds wrong units when it goes to seek the unit image data. Weapons should be okay as they are stored in the scenario.

2. This is indeed a problem, but it is somewhat harder to fix. the oob file is full and to avoid additional cases of 'Frozen Hell' units cannot be deleted from it.
And in order to fix this mg bug new infantry squads should be created for early 30's. But as the oob file is full this cannot be done and thus this one squad has to fulfill the role of german infantry from early 30's to 43 or so.

Thus it becomes a choice of having nonexisting weapons in 31 or antique weapons in 42... Image

Keep your eyes open, perhaps you find more of these...
