Maj.Hans Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 22 hours ago, Ssnake said: With respect to the requested MCLOS missiles, I'll think about that for a while. Originally I was a bit more ambitious, thinking of an actual model of manual guidance (and how that would translate to computer-controlled units), but I guess that your argument of overpowered missiles has some merit even IF the missiles would still be overpowered with respect to their accuracy. Yes, exactly. Perhaps at this point it isn't possible to simulate an AT-3A or AT-3B because ProPE can't/doesn't support the MCLOS guidance method. But, currently, if I want to put a Sagger team into a Suez scenario, it means I have the opposing side facing down missiles from the future... If you include AT-3A/B/C in the simulation right now, although they might be more accurate than the historical MCLOS missiles, having the weaker warhead, shorter range, slower flight time, etc, of an earlier missile would make the match up "less unfair". A scenario designer could start the AT-3 missile teams off with 1/2 of the ammunition depleted to simulate the misses they would have had from a real human guiding an MCLOS missile, or perhaps you could make 20 or 30% of the AT-3A/B simply fail to detonate, thus simulating those instances in which a missile team took a shot, guided the missile, and missed. Simulate what you can simulate 100%, and then find a way to make the rest of it work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisWerb Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Following on from Maj. Hans observations, I obviously don't know how SB works internally, but, as a workaround, could you not make an MCLOS missile a flyable vehicle like a drone, only a lot faster and with a big tracking flare in the back, but with control only possible from the perspective of the magnified optics at the firing point?

TSe419E Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 On the M60A3 it would be nice if the “r” key would cycle through the lens’ filters when in the daylight sight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad enough with SACLOS if you have a sub par PC Moving onto the wish list: The ability for AFVs to engage Infantry groups (3+) with Main Armament HE rounds (and gunners to aim for airburst at infantry in wood lines) (Less practicable with newer semi combustable 120mm rounds) Aaaaand take away the unload round "ability" for the Chieftain and Challenger (cos frankly, its daft, thinking about the design) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingtiger Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 REQ: Add more RPG slots in a infantry team. Right now a squad can only have 1 kind of RPG. for example M136 AT-4 or RPG-7. But now when the Carl Gustav have a mix of HE, HEAT and HEDP it would be nice if there was more then 1 slot so a ammo screen could be: RPG Slot1: CG HEAT x 2 RPG Slot2: CG HE x2 RPG Slot2: RPG-7 x 0 7.62 x 250 Etc. Add a Smoke round for the Carl G and a selector what ammo to shoot where and I will be halfway to an virtual infantry-orgasm Merry Christmas! /KT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you don't have IFVs or APCs in a position to assist? Think I'd rather dish out a couple of HE rounds than take an RPG to the face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK-DDAM Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 here is a wishpart from me... add a road texture for the plow when plowing through the minefield.. so if your driving a non AEV with pikes to show the lane. would be mint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now that you mention it I'm not sure when the last time I had to engage infantry with Coax at a distance was... But I want to say that you could reach out to 1000 yards if not more with it and be effective against infantry, situation dependent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I have no idea, (and if I did I'd probably be under a NDA and not be able to tell you). But I'm assuming (always risky) that what you are asking for is the ability to dynamically change any uploughed terrain tile for a ploughed one (since you can't control where a breach lane is created) and I'm not sure if the current engine can do that, except maybe along similar line to the current ability to replace a good wooden building with a damaged one if a vehicle drives through it. You can't just create a road tile on the fly in the current system, you need to create the road in the Map Editor and it is there throughout. If that assumption is correct and you can't do it in the current version, then by definition we'll have to wait and see if you can do it in the new one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingtiger Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Another infantry REQ: The ability to toogle the ammo status in the upper right corner with the Insert/delete/home keys to see how much ammo the infantry team has of different weapons. As it is right now if the Infantry team have 5.56 selected you can not see how man RPG rounds the team have left, until they want to shoot one and toogles to it, and then you cant see how many 5.56 rounds you. Plus there is no way to see how many 40mm grenades you have of HE and SMK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted January 2, 2018 Members Share Posted January 2, 2018 You can always generate a log report for that (map screen). Just in case that you aren't aware of this option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think to be able to toogle between the ammo types like the infantry team was a tank or IFV is smoother then printing a report and read through midgame. /KT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I wonder will the next Gen of military sims. With advanced terrain rendering etc, have the ability to realistically camouflage vehicles (like the pic below) I realise the widespread use of thermal imagers /cameras negates traditional camouflage. But for older scenarios. and maybe even the implementation of newer types of thermal defeating camouflage types 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
