Attn patch builder(s) - a few glitches and bugs to report

[John Given]

Is it possible to add new ability for recon units something like ‘look around’ (with high AP cost) to reveal enemy units in the same turn (with some % to success depending of concealment factor)? And I’m not asking is it possible to ad to 1.05 path but is it possible at all.

Manstein, that would be a little overpowered, don't you think? The ability to reveal all units visible to that spotter by simply expending all ap's for the spotter that turn?

As far as whether it's possible, that's a coding question, I would not think it would be possible, but Scud or Jason would probably know. I personally don't think this should be included.

I asked about a year ago if recon halftracks were going to be included in the game, and no one seemed to like that idea either. The axis used these fairly often early in the war; they were fully enclosed and had powerful communications equipment. In game terms, they would have a defense of 3 and...no special abilities whatsoever. Still, no one (except me) wanted them.

I also seem to recall asking about having ammunition carrier vehicles included, which would act like a minor HQ - providing a half-normal supply chance when within half the 'command' range of their subordinate units, as compared to a battalion HQ. Again, no one wanted them. A shame, because some ammunition carriers that i have seen would have looked kinda cool, and had likely would have decent point values for the enemy to capture or kill.

I could instead suggest we give the same 4% chance for a MG or any infantry unit for disabling a tank, if the player would opt for firing at them when outside the hard range but withing the soft range.

OMG...no, just please, no. :eek1: But I appreciate your input!
