RENEGADE-623 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 how hard would it be, just a question, to make the m3a2 platoon fixed so you can make a 6 vehicle platoon? is it even possible? reason I ask is because i make my scenerios to be modeled after a cav squadron and they had 6 bradley platoons. if that isnt possible, would it be possible to have it so you can attach two more brads to a 4 brad platoon using the attach command? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 I think the next version will support up to six vehicles per platoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Ah just thought of another idea....Control labels matching the language selected for menus, voices, etc.Just a little thing, thought it might be useful, Cos I can't understand a word of swedish. :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that this is how it's going to be done or that we're working on this, but if you treated a squad like a vehicle entity with numerous sensors and weapons, and let the user control only the heavier weapons/non-rifles, it might work out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabot_ready Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 A semi playable grunt..how many times have you looked at a troop get up to take the shot and then go back down again...... and get back up and back down with you saying take the shot you #$#^%#%#!!!!! And then he gets up only to be mowed down by the tank that saw some idiot doing jumping jacks behind him.Would be nice to manually fire the RPG.... i don't care about the rest of the weapons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yeah, I hear you now.Dammit, those DIs are too f**king good."You will not shoot the tank! You will do jumping jacks!!!"Bunch of inbred w*nkers that they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted August 1, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2008 So, short and sweet, a playable grunt then? No, a playable squad leader. Something just about every game fails at, they have infantry running amok all over the battlefield with no coordination. A playable squad leader would of course have a first person perspective to fire and move, but the stress would be on the tactical element of coordinating your two fire teams through first person point and click orders. Don't get too excited though, just ideas and day dreams at the moment. The good thing is, someone on the team has extensive experience as a squad leader when the time comes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 So one Rambo and a squad of decoys, nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted August 1, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thats one way to look at it. Of course I am pretty sure that death will come quickly for a Rambo, one hit death and all. Maybe there should be hit points for the squad leader with auto health regen. Just kidding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Back on topic, Will the helicopters have different platoon size options? I.E. - instead of just being able to place a single chopper on the map, could a platoon (or flight) :Pilot: of 4 be used instead? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwa Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Perhaps the helicopters that are capable, could have an M-88 type function to slingload vehicles they are capable of lifting and depositing them somewhere else. CH-47s and others are capable of lifting HUMVEEs and LAV type vehicles. This is a potent tool, to be able to quickly reposition forces irregardless of terrain. Doesnt the pinata or one of the new Spanish vehicles have a 105 mm gun ? Finding a company worth of direct fire vehicles in the rear areas isnt unsettling, I would think. Just my .02$ us. http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/army/docs/101st-goldbook/index.htmlAir Assault,Mog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daskal Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 - Ability to put in a time limit on planning phase.- New difficulity setting, which would make aiming much harder (its just too easy with the joystick) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
