Hello! Great game! Just one point: I have four MILANS or Tanks firing on one enemy tank. Is it possible to get fire sectors for the unit? Just do not want to waste 4 rockets or rounds for just one tank. Thanks for your help!

Currently it's not possible to customize the sectors of fire. This would benefit the human player much more than the AI opponent. It would be better to have an automated system that works without micro-management. It can also be debated how well the units would maintain discipline in a real situation.

This game is not really set up for detailed control of individual units (vehicle and squads) as you are basically the BN, CO or PL leader's of your formations. Due to this your units will tend to open up on anything in range. I found you can get somewhat better control using the "Engagement Ranges" and "Rate of Fire" SOP functions. At some point it would be nice to be able to set range bands or something similar for engagement ranges but we don't have that now.

Hello! Thanks for the answers. Okay, makes sense but seeing 4 MILAN Troops engaging one BRDM 2, well makes me crying. :) I was an platoon leader in an light infantry unit and fire control was all about. Especially if you are carrying your missiles for the whole day around. :) Anyway, great game and looking forward the next DLC and improvements of the game.

I have the same reaction seeing a tank platoon scatter and then point different directions when I order them to defend. :-)

You can model fire control using range rings, the hold fire command and rate of fire...

At least that's what I use to save ammo :)
