I wish it would, but there are some things that are unfortunately just not feasible under the current game engine, and we're generally clear on that not changing. I tried the bridge thing along with the so-called "Airmobile Artillery Platform." Turns out you can't unload from helicopters onto water hexes, so that sort of killed that too.

What about streams/fords? Have you tried that?

I'm not sure if the barge script allows the unloading of a unit into an adjacent hex when on a "land" hex of some sort (such as a stream or canal hex). However, it would not be able to load a vehicle unless it were in the same hex (I believe), which would also render the concept pointless.

Oh, sorry, missed that.

Just an idle thought that occured to me when driving through our villages... What about changing wooden buildings a bit so that they can be partially transparent (visibility block similar to trees) and they may be carefully navigated with vehicles (say as when crossing the ford or stream) without being destroyed?

Please make armies with dogs !
They should find out well the opponent nearby. :up:
And also dogs-mines and so on.

I'm sure Sgt. Cujo and his subordinates would be great at following orders. Or even understanding what the heck is going on around them.

You may try simulating doghandlers by adding scouts with +1 vision or something such.

I haven't read through all of this thread, but:

Suspension Damage!

Hedges and stone walls!(Well just have bocage in the games now)

Add these to things and the games would be absolutely perfect.

Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !
 
Surely we already have suspension damage: i.e. mobility kills
damage point 1. You can also mobhack this if you so desire, see
WinSPWW2 scen 9th SS in Hungary. Or am I missing something ?
