Default Re: Problem with the turn based system

However, after that I put 6 yugoslav/serbian M-80 IFV's (20mm cannon) on one side and on the other side 3 Croat Patria's with the grenade launcher (40mm if I am not mistaken) and another 3 with .50 cal I think, don't remember...anyway, the result was that no one on the yugoslav side even shot a single shot, the only vehicle that was shooting was the Patria with the grenade launcher and I think only one of the 3, in the meanwhile the yugoslav m-80's didn't even try to move or something, but were just sitting ducks, I ran the same scenario at least 5 times, but always the same thing, so what is the problem here?

Also would it be possible that in the future you make a option to play in real time? I know its probably not easy, but it would seem way more realistic, since in the turn option you can't for example influence the battle, you can't do a fake attack&retreat and so on (at least in larger strategies)


First off......there are no Croatian Patras with 40 mm GL..none in the last release OOB's, none in the 2010 OOB's none in the 2012 OOBs so IDK where you found them. The only 40mm Gls in the Croatian OOB are used by " ForeignAdvisors" and one ( 1 ) commando unit. Garbage in - Garbage out...if you are going to comment on the way the game works make sure your facts are straight. There's a BIG difference between Croatia and Finland

We don't know how big a map your test was on or the terrain OR THE VISIBILITY.......so reports of failed tests without posting the test scenario is a waste of time and effort and we cannot even begin to offer an explanation without one....... We don't even know what you set your visibility to........ Yugo M-80s have 20 vision--------30 in the M-80AK .......Finn Patras have 40. If your visibility for the IFV test was say.....35 then NO WONDER the Yugo M-80s didn't fire back.......they couldn't even see the Patras that were killing them.

So methinks the answer to the question "so what is the problem here? " is "your test" but nobody can know for sure without the test
