Infatry scatter bug.
« on: January 21, 2010, 06:15:25 PM »
First of I would like say hello and to thank you for a great Mod your hard work is apreciated. Now for the bug: When soviet infatry squads are ordered to cover or a paticular position they often (1/2 the time at least) do not occupy that position, instead most of the squad will run up to a screen length away from the one squad member at the required position. This also happens a lot when units are placed in cover and later begin to fire on an enemy squad. As you can imagine running into supression weapons when I told my units to take cover somewhere else is already getting frustrating. It looks like it's the squad size doing this, with the squad not being able to occupy the given space (just a guess but thats the way it seems from watching unit behaviour.) Is there a scatter value that can be reduced or something of that sort? I can see myself loosing a lot of games because half my infantry decides to charge an mg when I have ordered them to take cover instead.

This seems to be an unfortunate part of Relic's hardcoding. It may be something that we will try to fix eventually.

I have seen this problem discussed , Like the dev said here,The think tanks answer was because of the increaded sizes and the weapon radius assigned .
eg:-With flamethrowers upgrade the flamer would have a shorter range than a gun handler , Its more often that not that you can see two people charge ( Like Pioneers in a group with Grenadiers ) .
