Suggestions / Re: Being shot while retreating

« on: November 27, 2010, 06:40:18 AM »

Later in the war the russias did use tacticle retreats, pressing t represend one of those. So if you, the commander, order your men to make a tactikle retreat your own trops would not start to shoot them.
You must also think about how it would translate into the gameplay. A good player would begin to move his soldiers in a way so they didn't stand in your own retreat road and he would order his men to attack the ground when they pass by. It just seems weird that the commander should have to work so hard and give so stange orders to ensure that his soldiers doesn't kill each other.

Ah.. thank you very much for your explanation and your time in responding as normal intellectual person should. I understand and accept your point of view.

IMO, a simple weapon unlock for each veterancy level should be simple enough to code. The Ostheer should be the hardest, battle hardened SOBs in the German army, ergo, they are already veterans, giving them new weapons and skill sets per veterancy level should reflect on this.

The longer they fight and kill, the more weapons and skills they gather. High vet soldiers should have good anti-infantry and anti-tank weapons with sprint ability to boot.

Suggestions / Being shot while retreating

IMO, (If it is possible) soviet units should be shot at by allied units (or just by other soviet units whether yours or your allies) while they are in their retreat phase (when they have the big exclamation point on top of their heads). This will make Soviets all that more different from other factions as well as instill Stalin's no retreat policy.

In effect, they'll be considered as Germans while in this phase by the AI. If you manage to make it back to your HQ, then you certainly deserve to be reinforced!

Thoughts?

The game already has an OP, maybe they could make it that the OP can also lockdown points much like a scout car.

General Discussion / Re: OFFICIAL POLL: Removing the original factions plus adding in retreat and vet

Regarding the return of the RETREAT BUTTON to make propaganda work, I still think that my solution fits the bill while still maintaining the NO RETREAT policy. from my post before:

Having the retreat button removed to represent the NO RETREAT policy is (IMO) the wrong way to go about it. I suggested that Soviet infantry should still have the retreat button, but should they retreat then they will automatically be considered as Germans (in AI terms) by Soviet and probably other allied units for as long as they are in retreat mode i.e. have that big exclamation point over their heads. The retreating units will automatically be fired upon by Soviet and other allied units (including base defenses) that they cross. If by some miracle they do make it back to the HQ then Soviet players can re-enforce them.

I believe it necessary to actually depict the shooting of retreating units as it would be more realistic and historically accurate rather than taking the shortcut and just removing the retreat button. To my understanding you have in your team a really top notch roster of members, I'm sure someone could make the SCAR code to make this work...

I read somewhere that someone from the team already asked Relic for help on this... did they respond?

If not, maybe someone with a more direct line to relic can give you guys a hand at talking to them... Some moderators in the official relic forum are also active forum guys at Relicnews... IrisDane, I think???

Suggestions / Soviet and Ostheer Veterancy ideas....

« on: February 23, 2009, 11:12:43 AM »

Just throwing my two cents in... If you guys already have a vet system in place then disregard these, but if you don't then maybe this could work for you. 

Soviet Vet: Veterancy over time
Troops and units gain vet over a period of time. Ex. Vet 1 in 5 mins, Vet 2 in 10 mins and Vet 3 in 15mins. Of course you guys choose the length of time before the veterancy kicks in. Also, this vetrancy only begins only if the unit/squad gets a kill/kills, sort of a trigger for the vet to take effect.

Ostheer Vet: Conquering Vet System
Troops gain vet from the amount of points they capture. Ex. Vet 1 upon caturing 5 points, etc. Tanks and Vehicles gain vet based on the percentage of the map that you control. Ex. Vet 1 at 50%, Vet 2 at 75%, Vet 3 at 85%. Though their doesn't disappear when you lose control of the map, new units only gain vet based on the current map control.
