Too bad there is no possibility for a new WW II platoon level game.

Clarification. Too bad Matrix is going to do a new WW II platoon level game.

However, I feel that a new game based on platoon-level actions is in order and not necessarily more advanced but less abstract.


What I said was my opinion, that I don't foresee Matrix making that game. I don't have any insider information. Just another guy in a forum.

Status: offline 		I've just come back to the game..bought WF and the first EF when they first came out. I never realised arty damage was dependent on distance until reading it yesterday. Makes no sense at all to me and if some released a mod to change it I'd use it.

Just sayin'.

Status: offline 		After finding a very good article on the REAL effects of artillery fire, I recanted what I said about attenuation of indirect fire. So, RR is right. Leave what works alone, and yes, if range was not a factor the results of indirect fire would make the game far too bloody. In essence, what I am restating is that I will not be modifying the present factors for indirect or direct HE fire. CB
