Ingame feedback from: Obsolete

The current facing doesn't affect accuracy - it was an incorrect guess

The Show Blood option is a hangover from older code. Will be going.

Cheers

Suggestion, replace bulldozed units with a small R.I.P. cross or head-stone. That way, players can always mouse-over these areas to keep track of what unit have been destroyed there after the evidence has been removed. What do you think?

Also, I find it strange that in one of the normandy scenarios the AI was blasting my shermans all to hell with SDFKZ1/9's, even at what seemed to be long distances. And yet, in my on-line game, I parked a 1/9 right next to a Sherman 105, and the penetration shows up as 0.

Hmmm! The AI could be cheating me thinks. I am going to take some very close examination on these 1/9's and the AI!

The AI uses the same script as the player units - in fact calling the same functions to fire etc. So no cheating!

It could be an error in the feedback about the penetration chance. I will try and take a look to see what might be happening with those two units.

I'm not sure about tracking units which die on a tile - it could get very ugly at choke points where you have 3 or 4 units all dying on a tile.

When I try to fire High Explosives with teh Wasp, the flame thrower shows up instead.

In the normandy8 scenario, i captured the central village within 8 turns, and while I was awarded for the mini-quest in the end of the game, i found it strange i did not get any message after capturing the city for completing the quest.

It maybe good to take the tuerret facing penalty out as its hard to explain and causes confusion?

Since it doesn't exist - Done!

When vehicles surrender, they don't leave their units behind. I thought this may be a bug but I think it makes best sense the way it is. Since technicaly it's not a wreck.

It's by design. It's not especially realistic, but personally I prefer it

Assault chances can be a bit weird. I had about 28%, so I decided to drop my opponents' moral down into the negative first to increase my odds. But now my assault odds with the same unit have dropped down to 10% They are worse! I'll be keeping an eye on this.

During the replayer, i noticed my heavy fortification bunker becomes invisible.

Post by **IainMcNeil** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 9:17 am

Is the heavy bunker thing repeastable?

If you get a saved game where assault values are wrong can you send it in so we can check it.

I tried to duplicate the assault issue after it happened, but couldn't. So it may be a rare intermittent thing.

I noticed I never get the won.mp3 music to play when ever I win a scenario. I suspect the one for losing also doesn't play either, but not sure on that

I'm not sure they are hooked up at all - I guess I should check!

Thanks

There really should be an extra symbol to represent when the free defense/reserve fire is depleted.

Post by **pipfromslitherine** » Sat Jun 12, 2010 6:56 pm

It's actually on my buglist already - just a little complicated by some of the internal logic.

What is the point in putting drill promotions on defenseless trucks? Perhaps we should allow promotions to also increase agility for these units.... or allow multiple kill promotions so they can get up to free sneak or something similar?

I did ask before about having some sort of R.I.P. list or dossier of units killed in battle... I mimick of a log book would be perfect. However, it was mentioned the addition of an extra menu may be too completed.

HOWEVER, the final score list does in fact keep track of units killed on both sides. This menu is already in place, but only is available at the completion of scenarios. It would be nice to bring up this score-board at any time during the game. It would go a long way for keeping track of things during play.

Found quite an abusive exploit. The simple process of loading a unit and then unloading him gains 2 mps. One can do this indefinitely to gain many extra mps.
