German Motorcycles and their Units

[blitzkreig]

DRG - thanks for your feedback on this subject. Sweeping generalisations apart is there a realisitc possibility of changing the way mc units work in the game? I can see that any alteration to having dismountable mc units would then also have consquneces on push bike and cavalry units and would note doubt require much work on your part, worht the effort I ask?

If the concept is of interest to you is there any kind of referance material or evidence we can hep you with?

As an aside to any one else reading this does anyone have any infomation on how nations other than Germany used thier MC units?

Regards

I have already added dismountable MC units and formations to this OOB. That's as far as I plan to go with this for this next patch and the code has been altered so that the game will load MC "passengers" in an auto deploy situation or if they are given to the AI to use but right now I have no plans to put them on the AI's picklist.

Once the Patch is released everyone can have a go at telling me how they would have done it differently.

Thanks for your efforts, I look foward to the next patch! Don't be so cynical anyhow! You guys do a great job and you can't worry about pleasing every one all of the time as the saying goes!

Just a quick thank you for the work done on the Krad units in the German order of battle in the new patch. They play well and are just what I was hoping for.

thanks guys

Thanks for pointing that out, blitzkreig - I just downloaded the new patch and was about to re-mod my version of the dismount-capable Kradschuetzen when I read your post - I'm pleased to see that my version has largely been adapted and some other minor corrections have been incorporated in the new German OOB. Great job!

(last night my PC broke down, with all my OOBs and much more important stuff on it and I only got saves of some of my files... I hope the hard-drive is still ok - if not, I'm screwed ()

We started to look at the way Bicycle infantry is handled in the game after all the other work had been done but there were code and scenario issues that would have involved extensive testing that would have either delayed the release or forced us to rush testing neither of which we were willing to do so that is a change that will have to wait.

Hope to give the new mod a test under combat soon!
