questions is now how the heck does this happen"Another thing I noticed is I can position BEHIND AI's armour, order my unit to fire and will be facing AI's tank which is facing opposite direction yet 50% of the time the AI will turn, fire and knock out my tank before mines even fired!! Again this happens regardless of which side I am."???
We call it one way LOS. It exists is most Close Combat versions. The conditions to meet One Way LOS are difficult and it's usually a rare occurrence. You're description sounds like it's very common in GTC, I have limited experience with that game. In any Close Combat the advantage to tank duals usually goes towards the side whose tank is stationary. The tank that's moving to make a shot has a disadvantage. This is usually because the maneuvering tank's turret and hull and not lined up to the target.
Here is a short video of One Way LOS from CC5: Stalingrad.
I get hit even when the AI's armour is moving and I have no LOS .....LOL It is really annoying... And certainly happens more in GTC. I have had it happen in Longest day, CC4 and in LSA but is rare... For some reason it happens regularly in GTC which is really annoying and frustrating..
Another thing I noticed is I can position BEHIND AI's armour, order my unit to fire and will be facing AI's tank which is facing opposite direction yet 50% of the time the AI will turn, fire and knock out my tank before mines even fired!! Again this happens regardless of which side I am.
For me at least there seems too be issues with GTC, Yet if I run a GTC mod they seem to happen rarely which I find odd.
Is there anything I can do to resolve the issues??
Is it just me or can the AI tanks hit you even when there is no LOS??
So many times my armour is hit even though I have NO LOS on any of the AI's tanks... Seems to be no matter which side you play...I can be lining up a shot on a tank and find I have no LOS then suddenly it fires(tank am trying to fire at) and my tank is knocked out!! Just don't friggin understand how!! Have even had it where I can't see through the hedges yet they can and have taken out my armour!! Doesn't happen in mods or other CC series(at least I have not noticed it)
Sorry if in wrong section but it applies to ALL CC games(yep have the lot)
How the heck do you use the dam mods??? All my CC games are originals NOT cracked/Warez... And I love the to death. Recenlty decided to install the mods no I thought this would be easy.. Just download relevent files n plugins etc, use config thingy and hey presto it should work.... Well not for me they either crash or can't find the relevent maps even when installed, and this applies to any version of CC. At this point I have to uninstall CC to get rid of maps etc then reinstall to get it working again, So does have any ideas where I'm going wrong?? Or could you give me the idiots dum guide to help?
