Re: Close Assault vs Amphibious Vehicles

Welp, looks like it was the unit class that is being treated as a soft skin for assaults after all

I changed to a later model LVT with hull armour all round, and they still fired at them rather...

Re: Close Assault vs Amphibious Vehicles

No armour on at least 1 hull side == "soft skin" IIRC

(Not sure about turret side 0 if all the hull has tin plating)

No top armour == Severe disadvantage if actually assaulted.
- Don't get...

Re: Close Assault vs Amphibious Vehicles

Just tried some Japanese vs LVT as a test..

LVTs are unarmoured.

Close assault only happens with armoured targets, if soft-skin vehicles then the infantry shoot at them instead.

If you had...

Re: MBT's

They tend to be track busters or anti-personnel - not large.

They will be scattered on the surface, so fairly easily detectable unless in e.g. grass, fields or trees. Easily enough to spot if they...

It wont be happening since:

Re: MBT's

Yep, I usually have a WW2 Long Campaign on the go, play every day or so, usually as Soviets or British.

Haven’t played MBT since last summer IIRC - and generally play UK or USA 1950s to about 75...

Re: Game start issue

I never show the splash screen, so I just put it back on to test.

It first came up with a reduced window, inside something called an "active movie" on the title bar

But we use DirectShow, no...

Re: Windows 11

No idea, other than something is different (but still compatible with the game) structurally in those SHPs. It may be something as simple as being an odd number of pixels wider or higher etc when the...

Re: Arty Efectivnes and Z-Fire

Direct area fire is what they produce. Which is an HE effect on all troops in a hex, the same as indirect fires. But direct area fire needs LOS (though since I changed the rules in the DOS days, Z...

Re: Arty Efectivnes and Z-Fire

You choose the preferences level - its there for you or others to use, or not as they see fit.

Re: Arty Efectivnes and Z-Fire

All indirect fires use the same routines - and Z-fire is indirect. That includes the artillery effect modifier so if you dial it up to 1000 its going to be rather lethal, indeed!.

Re: Scenarios not showing in scenario list

Most likely that you have not applied the patch to the exact same directory structure that you installed the game...

Re: Display issue

Are you running multiple monitors simultaneously?

If so - try running just the one monitor at a time and see if it works properly in the older 1980 HD and with the new WUXIA one.

IIRC, some...

1366x768 was the weird and wonderful display resolution these cheapo laptop 13 inch or 14 inch screens used, one had to shave 6 pixels off the game window width for these or kaboom.

Re: Display issue

Looks like this weird resolution of 1920x2000 - WUXIA - is a "new thing". At least there are a couple of such monitors available at the local PC world, and a couple of those are in the 120-159 quid...

Re: Display issue

And so your old secondary monitor was old, and happened to support the full-screen resolution you were using. Switching back may work, but maybe not if you also loaded a new video driver - unless you...

Re: Size Zero Aircraft

Something to put on the to-do list then, though the level bomber class is pretty much irrelevant other than for its intended use in scenario design.

Re: Smoke question

Smoke is an LOS blocker to vision through the smoked hex. It can also provide some cover from spotting attempts for unspotted units.

Any adjacent hex has LOS to the hex opposite, always. So smoke...

Re: Smoke question

At that range there is no point since smoke needs to block the LOS - which cannot be done at 1 hex range. So quite pointless. And if it was at 2 hexes and the faust was spotted already, then you...

Re: Unit and terrain data not displaying under mouse

Re: Unit and terrain data not displaying under mouse

Are you running it full-screen? - if so, you will need to find out how to shrink the monitor so it is fitting the actual screen - usually via some buttons to adjust the X and Y on a proper monitor,...
