Maj.Hans Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 It's been a while since I dealt with a bridge... Try using a route that takes them across in "column" formation, under "assault" or "march" orders, "close" spacing, with path-finding set to follow roads. Make the route long enough on the far side, so that the unit can cross before "unfolding" into another formation. Admittedly this part is poorly handled IIRC. Slow movement across a bridge is probably intentional. Armored fighting vehicles and bridges have a history of not getting along very well. The driver would be very careful while crossing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans said: Use the correct formation to cross that bridge: column Leave enough space in front and after the bridge so that all vehicle have crossed BEFORE they have to start changing formation. If the terrain is difficult, reduce speed and unit spacing. Keeping that in mind, crossing bridges is no issue and works nearly 100%. If you give stupid orders, don't expect anything but a stupid result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colebrook Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Are you using 4.1 or older version?. In older version bridge crossing was giving problems, but in 4.1 is working perfect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funduro Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Why do the AI drivers keep driving through the walls on the bridges? Have we got any new railway bridge models yet with rails instead of roads? Well done to the team for the new updates, the game looks so much better now.

Railwail bridges have rails on it instead of road...I mean thats the point of a railway bridge. The small bridges with the walls left and right, are a bit to narrow for 2-way tank traffic....so to avoid AI driving problems, they are not a physical obstacle in the game. Doesn't look good, but it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found the ToyguyVT tutorial videos you linked to in your "Starter Pack" really helpful - I found them particularly so with the control logic - although old now (2011), they really helped flesh out the manual for me. PS: If you start with these, it's necessary to work your way through all of them because the next one in the series usually contains useful corrections and clarifications from the SB Forum.

Trackpin Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 2 hours ago, Ssnake said: If it's any consolation, the bridges are scheduled for a facelifting. Good news indeed! Would be better if path over walled bridges was put on centerline. This would make bridgelaying over blown spans more accurate and prevent those unexpected "swerves" happening both to AI and players own vehicles. Also, it would look nicer to not have crossing vehicles ploughing through the breastwork of the bridges by default. Lastly has anyone else had the issue of saving a game with vehicles on a bridge, subsequently reloading the game and finding the vehicles have dropped through the bridge and drowned? Or should I console myself by putting this in the wishlist thread? cheers Trackpin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have traffic using a working bridge, do you really want traffic (military / civilian) going either way both trying to use the centre line? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
