Bailed Out Crews Question

[GUNSLNGR]

Oh well, one more for my SP wish list - I'll add it just below being able to direct fire on buildings in LOS

Im intrested why? To rubble it when its empty

Mainly to target infantry that may be hiding in buildings unseen, but I could see where reducing to rubble could be desirable as well.

I don't want to get started on the whole "z-fire" thing (it's been covered again and again) - but there are many times when targeting a building in your LOS of sight would be used. For instance, if a group of infantry are approaching a village and are concerned about snipers or hidden squads - you may want to light up the buildings to suppress or kill those unseen troop. This was a common tactic in WW2. Secondly, you may be taking fire from a building but you can't see the shooter - but you know that he's in the building. So you light it up. The problem with z-fire is that it simulates non-direct fire, so you can't target a structure or a land mark (like a cluster of trees or a hill top), where you know the bad guys are - but you can't see them (except muzzle flashes).

I know z-fire simulates "area fire," but a key component of infantry tactics is "covering fire" where you are targeting something specific not just a general area. This is lacking in WinSP.

Again a wish list thing, as I know that this would be extremely difficult to "write" into WinSP. And please don't take any of this as a complaint (you designers and Shrapnel guys)...I love this game.
