I sent out a tiny mail on this issue in the Yahoo list some time ago, but there's the constant issue of rewriting the code...
I doubt I'm the first one to annoy myself over suppression, in particular when the unit that is suppressed is supposed to be a half independent weapon in real life.
Let's take a SP SAM example. The SA-6 Kub. Operates in batteries of 4 or 6.
ANYONE with the slightest experience, perhaps from the NVA, will know that you cannot simply put four of these inside a 200 square metre area. The distances between these vehicles are often in kilometres, and in the case of Egypt when its umbrella started leaking, I'm sure they stretched the lines very thin.
When you put these units too far apart in SP, they start complaining. They get afraid, they're suppressed! This should not happen! It's frustrating as heck when you try to achieve a realistic umbrella. You should be able to have certain units
much further away from each other than what is possible today!
Here's the crapper today: An SPSAM battery
is not really a battery. Had it been a proper battery, it would not look like X0, X1, X2 etc. It would look like X0, Y0, Z0 etc.
- Each unit would represent its own platoon. From there, one is even able to dedicate ordnance units to each SPSAM.
Am I missing an important issue, or "should" this be the way things had been done?
Independent units!!
