The Friendly Fire Zone.... - Mad Russian - 04-13-2007

POS says that tanks and others will fire within 30 meters of friendly troops. I say they won't. I have given them the firing orders but if they have an LOS to friendly troops in the 30 meter zone I have never seen them fire. The TacAI always cancels the order.

Anybody else see friendly fire within 30 meters of friendly troops they have an LOS to and know that they are in there.

Now I have seen friendly troops fire on each other readily at night. But we are talking in the daylight with an LOS...

I've never seen it happen. What about you?

Good Hunting.

You can clearly see tanks 1234 firing well inside 30metres but they won't fire at less than 20m
PS -I ran the test again with 105mm Stug firers but the results are exactly the same, they'll area-fire at 20 metres or more, but not at 19m or less.

They appear to be measuring more than just friendly fire zones... ahem, please zip it up, boys...

; )

Cheers!

I see the targeting lines POS. They will target right on top of a friendly unit during your plotting and movement phase. But when the turn starts and the TacAI takes over they won't fire in too closely.

So the number of meters is 20 and not 30.

Good to know. Thanks for the test.

Good Hunting.
