[1.11] Squad lost abilities

[Sonders]

I’ve noticed when you loose a man or two from a squad, that squad no longer has its abilities. Exp; command squad no longer has the ability to drop arty or fire up. Other squads loose their abilities also. Is this a bug or the way its meant to be?

[PoldekPL]

Only Major is allowed to call in arty strike, only he have in Command Squad binoculars, only he's so important he can order troops to sprint. When he die, who can use his abilities? no-one. In Red Banner Strelky when Flag BEarer dies, who will command strelky to sprint? no-one. That's why losing inportant squad members locks abilites. It's not a bug ("...it's a feature" xD)

how come my partisans couldn't camo? Does it depend on their squad leader too?

it must because I have also had Partisans that lost their camo ability

[Seeme]

If they fired, then they wont camo again for like 30- 1 min

thats not it. The ability was gone, the box is blank

I can confirm this. Some partisans spawn without the ability to cloak.

I also noticed with Red Banner Strelky, sometimes when you lose a man that isn't the flag bearer you lose the ability to charge.

[Seeme]

That cant be right, mabey you have to look again. That never happend to me before.

It occured to me too, with Partisans loosing the ability to cloak quite often (full squad) and yesterday also Upgraded mortar lost the ability to barrage. Strange was that ability to smoke was still there but button for normal fire barrage was gone. And then when I deselected and selected again the button was there. And this repeated several times, button disappeared and later appeared as normal... I think this is really some kind of bug. It would be better to move this thread to "Bug section" and add the version [1.11] to subject of the topic.

Turns out the camo ability used by the Partisans requires for some reason the upgrade that unlocks the KV-2, to be false....

In turn, another camo ability (with no effects to speed) requires it to be true.


However, the Partisans only have the false one, and nothing to replace it
I'm guessing they shouldn't have that requirement...

Fixed in 1.2.

I quite don't understand the nature of the bug but if it will be fixed in 1.2 is all I need to know

Regarding cloak there is also another thing that happened to me once using Sniper team. It was in previous version [1.04] but maybe it wasn't fixed: while I put sniper team near some cover to be able to cloak one of the team (dunno if spotter or sniper) was not in cover - cloak order was available so I activated it but only one man get cloaked and second remained standing there. Now it's getting interesting. I wanted to uncloak so I could try to cloak both of them again or move them, when I activated uncloak the man who was uncloaked got cloaked and the other one uncloaked as he should. But again it was situation with one man cloaked and one uncloaked. I do not have a replay of this but this sniper was then uselees because was unable to move. Maybe it would help if one of those two got killed, I didn't try because battle was finished anyway.

Did you bother to read the changelog before posting on a dead thread?

Btw this topic belongs to 1.11, the last update was 1.232.
