Default Re: Vehicle \"Fire On The Move Fix!

I have a question (or 3) for this fire on the move fix.

Will this affect older vehicles when mixed in with newer tanks in a scenario? IOW will the older vehicles still need to stop in order to fire, and the newer vehicles still have fire on the move capability? The reason I ask is because Curt says this effects tanks in scenarios before 1973...

Also, is there an effectiveness of fire modifier? What I mean is, older tanks that could fire on the move (like the M-60) were not as efficient or accurate as say the M1 when firing on the move... is this accounted for?

One last thing... of course, all tanks could fire on the move regardless of age or stabilization etc... chances are very good that they would miss (unless manned by Michael Wittman and Bobby Woll ).. but the capability was there nonetheless.. where this would be effective, and how it was used by some of the better commanders, was to suppress infantry or ATG's while moving quickly from one point to another. Accuracy wasn't important, the shock value was.

How that would be implemented I don't know... perhaps allow moving fire only against soft targets and only allow at best a suppress result.
