Help w/ Inf Riding Tanks: Fordable Rivers

[A Canadian Cat]

a. Can Inf ride on Tanks?

b. How can you determine if a river/stream is fordable by inf and armored vehicles.

a. No. There is no tank riding in CMBN. BFC has stated that since it was not normal for infantry to ride tanks into combat (i.e. going into action against the enemy) the did not include it. Since it will take quite a bit of AI and animation work they would have had to drop some other feature or delay the release of the game.

b. You already have the technique of using the movement way points to find fords. The other thing you can do is put the camera at level 1 and ride the river. As your camera moves along the river you will actually go under the water level and be able to see the bottom. As you move the camera following the river bottom at fords you can see the rise in the river bed and the camera will go up and then back down as you cross them.
