Back to SB 4.0 Do the snipers have first person functionality? If not, can they aim better than the poor riflemen? Will infantry units have anything other than line formation?

Members Ssnake Posted May 19, 2016 Members Share Posted May 19, 2016 Sniper teams have the observer enabled. So you can designate targets, but not shoot yourself. And yes, they are better shots - but at a low rate of fire. Yes, Infantry squads will have three formations - (staggered) line, column, and staggered double column. Above all, better obstacle avoidance. In urban environments you no longer lose half your squad just for crossing a street. Maybe some of our ITEC visitors want to talk a bit about what they saw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdog688 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) I like that, Ssnake. It's a fair balance and allows the commander nominate targets (AT assets, HVT, exposed crew etc) and leave the rest to the AI . If the team is equipped with an anti-materiel rifle (say Barrett .50 etc), can we nominate soft skinned vehicles (for example scouts or jeeps) Edited May 19, 2016 by ghostdog688 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfstriked Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Ssnake,any chance of a video popping up that shows some of the better obstacle avoidance improvements? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted May 19, 2016 Members Share Posted May 19, 2016 Maybe. The problem is, I'm out of office since last Friday, and will continue to be on the road for another three weeks (I think I wrote that in this forum as early as in March). So I'd need to take that video on my notebook, cut the video on the notebook (I wouldn't like doing it as the notebook isn't very conducive to those kinds of tasks ... but it'd be possible). Where things are beginning to fall apart is uploading the video from a hotel wifi to YouTube. I'm somewhat skeptical that I'll get that to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumituisku Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 On 5/17/2016 at 1:13 AM, Ssnake said: Yeah, the surrender function. They'll stop fighting, and you can guide them around. That's about it. Still, it's an option to obviate the need to kill the enemy to the last man, which is probably a good thing. Training level, it determines how good of a shot the infantry is, and also their base chances of rendering first aid within the same squad. There'll also be a platoon command team of four people where the platoon leader can send a medic to any squad, with a much higher chance to "resurrect" a fallen soldier (technically, it's closer to necromancy than to medical assistance). Also, higher-level infantry gets a stamina bonus. That is all so weird. It sounds like from entire different game. Is this coming in Steelbeast 4.0? Soo... did I get it right... in mission editor one can actually set the training level of infantry that will affect their skills with weapons, ability to survive and even to revive, and mobility (stamina)? I'm as well curious of this surrender thing... is it just particular unit or all units in party? Oh btw... I have been wanting to ask this a long time just to make sure - Now when we will have visible crew inside vehicles. Will enemy troops actually try to engage visible crew members of tank... like unbuttoned commander of tank for example 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news about infantry formations and pathfinding. Is there any visual feedback on rate of fire? It would be nice to know when snipers are ready to fire - or when they will take their next shot. A countdown of some sort, perhaps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay. ITEC AAR: So the new "Command & Conquer" view (aka God, Birdseye, top down) is fantastic for the direction of Mech Inf Platoons. You can see where each individual man in a fire team is, as long as you're not in low earth orbit zoom wise Bearing in mind this is a first iteration of a new feature it has the potential to be the default way of commanding/controlling a mission. You will only ever see what your men can see, so there is no omnipotence/"Helicopter General" And it is an everyone has it on no one has it option in the mission editor. 3D world view methods of commanding will enable leading of multiple units with out a map screen to be possible. It's also easier to get lost with the "determine azimuth" feature turned on. However the single biggest improvement is the way the AI infantry deal with obstacles. A team of 10 men will fold in to "follow the leader" through a narrow obstacle. They will autonomously shift to a "Form of Column" formation and then spread out again into a line formation once past the obstacle. It's not exactly neat as each man does his own "thing", but it is a vast improvement on before. Vis a Vis the Video, It might be better to ask a beta tester/trusted minion to put something together. Either way I can say, it works. Which vehicles are playable. I shall leave that to Ssnake. (Some will pleased, some less so) Regarding technical running of the software, Christoph the "Caster of Code" tells me that the sim will be shifting more of the workload to the GPU for the new terrain engine. The new explosions are the mutts nutts, using the Marder's Burst fire is fun! (Sorry I didn't get round to seeing if the Milan is implemented.) The new M60 is bitchin' And has more sight views than you can shake a stick at. It is a real labour of love this one. All Cav Gunner needs is his old CVC and a gallon of Diesel and He'll be back home. (I for one am planning a multi crew mission for gunner commander fun.) The Chieftain produces white exhaust smoke, but not as much as it should. And its far too reliable. And Mr. Al Delaney seems to be enjoying his retirement, and "Business trips" He's pondering turning his new pad into a small holding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
