101st Airborne Question

1. The higher the better
Red Bar = Health (Use First Aid to help the wounded)
White Bar = Rest/Food (Use Rest to Eat C or K Rations)
Blue Bar = Morale (Use a better leader to motivate)
2. If someone morale drops (maybe a trooper next to them gets wounded), you may need to get him out of the line of fire and get motivated. Morale drops are contagious, i.e If someone drops to panicked, then others in his LOScan get their morale lowered.
3. Motivation is controlled by the leadership rating not by experience rating. A lower rank can motivate a higher rank. The highest leadership rated soldier has no one to motivate him. Rest and food are his only choices.
4. Search Area increases your chances of spotting the enemy and items (lost bags, weapons, ammo). If you run, your searching is not as effective and you can run into an ambush.
5. I'll need more info. Is the weapon a fully automatic one?

Thanks:
Regarding #5:
The bullet symbol appears when a soldier is under fire or about to be under fire, from what I can gather. It doesn't seem to matter what weapon.

Hey Sider,

Dont hold me to this, but I think that as you are being fired at, the 'Out of Ammo' & 'Gun Jammed' icon can appear if it happens to the enemy as he is shooting at you.

Yeah...that does sound familar...I think you're right.

Boy you guys are amazing. As to the bullet icon, that is correct. The icons appear for the current soldier (even the enemies), so you are seeing (hearing) the gun jam.

Thanks everyone;

Excellent game Tim Brooks...
I have a big wish list for 82nd. I know its too late and I know this is the wrong forum so I will just give you my biggest wish:

Smooth scroll of the entire map; ie no mini maps.
With your (Tim's) attention to detail it seems so absurd that when you get to the edge of a map you can't see what is right in front of you.

One more question on 101: I had a hard time finding one lone enemy on the headquarters mission and after about an hour of searching I gave up and used the IKnow cheat. Can you shut that or any cheats off without rebooting the game?
(The b*st*rd was hiding outside by the church. I thought I looked there but in fact I ran from around the corner to inside. He either didn't fire at me or I had the sound down and didn't notice.)
