RE: Sherman Dozer - Copper - 12-01-2008

Be careful, my language is in " frenchamercanglish "Big Grin

yes we have a little technical problem but not too serious. Only human engineer ( write in obb) can broken an AT Dicht. it's curious, by example an AVRE with " pétard " ( in french Big Grin) of 79éme armoured can't broke an AT dicht. perhaps because original version of N44 don't have AT dicht on map.

Effectively, we built with a team of campaigns france an advanced and great new version of N44 opus. In this new version, we introduce the 610th and 612 th engineer Light equipement cie equiped with sherman tank dozer on omaha ( and little bit utah) but we can't, because tank dozer can't have qualification to broken WALL dicht !!!

perhaps we have find a solution = tank dozer on 6 th june are mix with 16 Gap assault team. each " GAP assault team " have 42 specialized army and naval engineers ( mix engineer + tank dozer have plentiful of explosive).

we can't create 16 little units but 4 ( x4 team) units. but these units must stay human engineer because tank dozer can't broke an WALL ditch. These unit must have an great hard kill.

why Gap Assault team ? because we appreciate the original OOB engineer on omaha is too badly representative.

these four engineer bataillon historicly integrate GAP assault team ( in french) and have no specific valor
Le 299éme bataillon de génie de plage ( voir 1106éme groupe de génie / VIIIéme corps US)
Le 121éme génie de combat ( voir 29éme DI US / Véme corps US))
Le 147éme bataillon de génie de plage ( voir 1121éme groupe de génie / Véme corps US)
Le 146éme bataillon de génie de combat ( voir 1171éme groupe de génie / Véme corps US)

Guys:

This is what I'd call a documentation bug which should be clarified I suspose.

Of course Sherman Dozers have never been configured for any title, not even Modern Campaigns where you figure they would be more likely to occur.

AT Trenches were develped POST N44 - actually for T41 and they haven
t really been used much since then. But there are some used in Danube 85. And this is the kicker. If we applied a program change to allow Eng Vehicles to damage AT Trenches than AFV type Bridging vehicles would also work like Dozers.

And if we did Dozers then it would or could raie the point of shouldn't they be able to clear rubble faster, and create IPs faster ect.

Anyway - I am not sure making the change for this request would add more to the game engine or just trade one set of problems for another, possibly larger set of issues.
