Tacbat Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 isnt tatically disadvantageous to throw the shells straight up into the air as a CV does?Why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejawolf Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Why?hot shellcasings look like flares in TIS, making it fairly easy to pick out in which direction the vehicle is firing from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Retro Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 I'm wondering what any dismounted infantry thinks about these shells landing amongst them as well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the muzzle blast and sound would give it away first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yes. Can't guarantee that they will be ready for a general release by then, though.Great! SB goes "erweitertes Aufgabenspektrum".Can't wait to see it!! That day would be the day to go to TZH again and offer SB ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted January 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 General release...does that mean we wont get them?No, it just means that maybe we don't have it "ready enough" by this autumn. In a way the PE version is more demanding than the classroom version, to the extent that there are a lot more PE users, so that we better make sure that it will be an overall good experience.We must assess the new features before a PE release, and make a decision which of these are mature enough for a release and which need more time. Ultimately they will all be released in the PE version, sooner or later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpow66m Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Ok,thnx Ssnake.:)how many copies of SBPPE have been sold so far? i was watching a video of a CV90 firing and whats not to like about this combat vehicle.....just one thing if i was dug in for an ambush or something of that nature those shells flying straight up would give you away.even if the eny. couldnt see you he will surely see those shell ejecting straight up,even from behind cover.and i bet the do hurt if they land on you or come through an open hatch.are there any CV crewmen out there who can put their 2 cents in on this.i just find it kind of strange.great vehicle tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thats why you have 'open protected' mode on CV9040 TC hatches.:biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpow66m Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 LOL,true but really does it give the eny. your pos. at times.? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted February 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Like what was said before, there's the muzzle flash and smoke from the firing that will give away your position as well, so it's not that bad as it may appear at first sight.The technical reason for this is that the CV90 was more or less constructed around the 40mm gun as Sweden still had hundreds if not thousands of these surplus WW2 AAA guns in stock. Due to space restrictions these guns had to be mounted upside down actually, which is why they are now ejecting the shells upwards....and No, I can't comment on the number of our software sales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejawolf Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm sure the muzzle blast and sound would give it away first. well, the sound will definitely give the bad guys a general idea of your direction. but say you're behind a bunch of trees, and fire at some enemy vehicles. other enemy vehicles around on the map won't be able to see your thermal signature, or your muzzle flash. but they'll be able to see those shells flying above the trees, and be pretty much able to pinpoint your location behind that treeline. they'll be able to pinpoint your location through a forest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 If you were in a forest, wouldn't the casings hit the branches above you?But point taken. :wink: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted February 2, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yes, the casings would hit the branches, which would startle the birds (the deaf ones) who had not already flown away. A huge flock of birds would then fly up from the general area, and the enemy would be alerted to your location. :biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
