Abrams Tanks killing Mig23 Floggers with ease + sudden Morale drops

Post by Darojax »

Hello!

Just played through the 2nd Tutorial scenario introducing Air and Anti Air assets. Turns out I really didn't need them that much because whenever the enemy air tried to attack my Abrams tanks (and once my Bradley recon units) they got shot down. By the tanks (and Bradleys) themselves. I am no military equipment expert, but is this really WAD?

End of scenario kill tab, you can see my non-AA units downed 4 enemy Mig 23 Floggers at the rightmost column:

Units in question scoring the kills:

Also, just a note, all losses taken by my forces were during a final (somewhat reckless) assault to grab the VPs before the scenario ended. During the entire game before that I didn't take a single loss despite Floggers and Hinds etc.

---

I also noticed during every scenario I've played some units experience a sudden drop in morale from 70% to 30% without any apparent reason, not having taken any losses. Happens several times every scenario? They are not out of command range, but might be related to running out of key ammo? Seen this when attack helos run out of missiles after a successful attack run for example. Doesn't seem realistic in any case.

Ever get an answer on this one? Seems bizarre.

AA data was updated in the first patch. Morale issues were addressed in the update released yesterday.

We are also working on a refinement for the airstrike model that should deal with some of those AA oddities better and better deal with airstrikes in general.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!
