I have noticed that helicopters seem to be disrupting during night movement when they move along a non-road. That wouldnt be me, ill have to ask if that is working as intended. edit.... OK,yes this is the new night disruption rule and yes is working as intended, dont know if it was checked with helos in MC before added but i do believe personally helo units should disrupt at night just like any other unit in movement. I guess the first question is should they disrupt at all which i think they should so that leaves me to the question of should they have the benefit of the road? The benefit of no disrupting by moving along roads could be seen as the road giving the pilots guidance at night..... It seems funny because helos have to follow the road at night but i dont see any big problem or bug here with the way its working unless youd rather not have the benefit of moving along the road.

For on going games if your seeing this also then i suggest all players change thier .pdt from 4-3 50% to 3-2 40%. We already have and its much betterI'm currently playing Bolt 4.8 solo with another guy and he (NATO) is complaining about the effects of interdiction. Can we mod our .pdts in an ongoing game, provided we make the exact same changes/use a copy of the same file? I'm not that well-versed in modifying .pdts. See below for a shot of my .pdt - do you mean that the left value should be changed to 40 and the right ones to 3 and 2, respectively?

Excellent adjustments Taz. Question on the counterbattery tweak: ****change counter battery to 450-250 DONE (not sure what these values are...) Would also suggest slowing down the speed of fortification percentages so NATO isn't completely entrenched right on the border before the WP even reaches their MLR. Great work on a great mod! RE: Bolt out of the Blue 5.0 - Aaron - 09-26-2013 Basically counter battery will be twice what it was in 5.0. It was 250-150 but have you seen much counter battery fire (spotting), nope. When the Optional Rule for Counterbattery Fire is enabled, there is the chance that when an unspotted artillery unit fires, it will become spotted. By default, the probability of this occurring is: Counterbattery Spotting Probability = Normalized Strength / Range To Enemy Where Range To Enemy is the range of the artillery unit to the nearest enemy unit and Normalized Strength is given by the equation: Normalized Strength = Men-Equivalent Strength / Max Road Stacking Value This probability applies up to ranges of 10 hexes. The Parameter Data Value for Counterbattery is used per side to modify this default probability. As far as trenching with all def modifiers dropping, trench down 20% and forests down 10% those trenches while still important will provide 30% less defense, 50% less when trenched in industrial. So that alone goes hand in hand with the lowering of digging in. Theres is a game on day2 with very similar values and its going well. This will be the last update for the near future so your safe starting a game and not having to worry theres another update comin out. Ive found a job and start work tomorrow for Halliburton and ive got that other project im working on that im going to really start moving on as i get some stuff from that other guy workin on it.
