JustSomeGuy Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Given the next release is focusing on SBPro internals, I would greatly appreciate improved AI/logics of driving in columns. I once attempted to move an OPFOR battalion through a secured portion of highway to do a fast flanking move and result was complete mess: AFVs kept accelerating, hitting the vehicles before them, coming to an abrupt halt (and being hit by the vehicle behind), accelerating again and "jumping" onwards in this fashin painfully slow, creating instant congestions along the way.This was, off course, given by the fact that the "spacing" parameter only affects vehicles in the same platoon and don't seem to "see" vehicles from other platoons until there is a collision.So it would be great if AFVs could "sense" if there's an another AFV say, within 20 or 30 meters directly in front of them and 1) adjust speed to match the "vehicle-obstacle" in the same lane in front of them smoothly, instead of "jumping"2) keep reasonable distance between all vehicles on given marching line, not only between direct members of given AFV's platoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt DeFault Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Were the platoons all following the same route chain, or did each one have its own route? What speed were they set at & which order did you give them (e.g.: march, engage, etc.)?In my experience, platoons tend to do well when they are all sent along the same route chain (i.e.: a route starting from a single waypoint) with march orders at fast or slow speed. The end waypoint of the march route can then have multiple routes leading away from it with embark conditions set to send the different platoons in different directions.IIRC, this method sets the speed of all vehicles to the same speed as the slowest vehicle in the column. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Also you can set the routes up with "embark if ..." so a following unit wont start on a route until a predecessor has cleared the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what would've happened if they had taken a Vickers HMG? I guess it would have been a decisive victory, rather than a minor one. And er, Tac-197? If you're ever called up to fight the 2nd Great Emu War, take a .50" Nothing like a bit of Bushwhacking at the Govt's expense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSomeGuy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Lt DeFault: I tried both having all the platoons embark the same single route and giving them independent routes over the same road; with normal or fast speed, march tactics and column formation, they kept crashing into each other (it might have been connected to having Russian style mixed IFV/tank companies, since BMP-2 is slower than T-90.) In the end, I resorted to using conditions with timers, so each platoon waited two more minutes before embarking, but this stretched the whole convoy horribly and made it a management nightmare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDF Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 They should do, and if you use top speed they should move around 50km/hI should clarify...For cross-country movement (even on the completely flat default terrain in the editor), it doesn't work consistently at anything but slow speed. It seems that vehicles are grouped into classes that move at different Fast speeds (for example, T-80's, M1A0, and M2A2 will move at the same speeds as each other; BMP1/2, M113A1, and Unimog will move at the same speed as each other, but a slower speed than the T-80, etc. group.My recollection was that it did not even work at anything but Slow speed even on roads, but having just tested it, it now appears to work on roads at least at Fast speed (not sure about Top speed). Perhaps they fixed it in a recent update? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yes, a recent one.You could read each version of the release notes to find out exactly.I just remember Ssnake mentioning it in a forum post "Somewhere"(Might even be SimHQ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
