Deployed MG Accuracy Poll -  Machine Gun Teams .50cal, .30cal, and MG-42 and possibly B.A.R. ? ...

Are more accurate one what flooring surface?

[Pzt_Kanov]

Normally "hard floor" surfaces, have minimal cover/hindrance/concealment values which affects positively the effectiveness of weapons. e.g. it is easier to kill a soldier lying on the street than lying on tall grass.

[Cathartes]

in PitF, floors provide greater concealment and protection than grass fields, dirt, roads, and the like.  All building floors are identical in the amount of concealment and protection they provide; however, dirt floors, rubble floors, and bunker floors do vary. Terrain does not affect the accuracy of weapons at all,  just the ability of troops to target and kill the unit they are shooting at.

In CC it doesnt matter

[vobbnobb]

Why do you suppose PTIF decided to label building floors as a specific material?

Walls I understand but must be a reason for the floors, got me thinking about tripod and bipod slip.

I have found that when throwing grenades wood, stone floors were the worst for rubble

brick didn't cause any rubble neither did grass or dirt.

So are brick and dirt floored buildings the best for incoming shells?

As far as tanks being more accurate on roads or grass as recoil dampening, I doubt this plays into CC.. I noticed tigers can't aim well sideways.

Also mortars do have problems firing under trees from what I read somewhere. I tried to fire mortars on paved roads instead of soft crumbly plowed crops and did notice a little more accurate but then again maybe no code for it.

I'm going with the theory that they codded the floors just so the game wouldn't have a lapse in info when the player is right click to find Terrain/Information.


Dude I love reading your threads but you are believing the game is something more than what it is.
You should definitely be a Beta tester.

Well I always try to find better/more enjoyable ways to play And maybe even a rare strategy easter egg or two

Speaking of rare strategies, after I downloaded and started messing with Karelia 2 (Great mod) I  have now added messengers to the Finnish forces which I use to communicate between platoons that are separated, meaning I play myself as the company command squad and troops close to it, while I keep a small team (2-4) men near the HQ and order them to run/move/sneak to another command squad further away when attacking/falling back and let the other platoon stay put until the runners arrive.

It sure makes it harder to cooperate the battles when I have to wait for the runners to arrive, but it makes it much funnier too I think. Especially since it gives the AI the upper hand.
