Infantry units

[flyboy]

Anyone know if we will be able to control them at all?

[princecaspian4]

i don't think there will be any, this game is all about naval combat, you may be able to control their landing craft, but I think that once their landing craft hit the beaches, your job is over

[VTROOPER]

naby growned units fiting ecother for a bech head that sowneds good for operation torch, dragoon, over lord, and husky. and they can scarer when bombes hit and they can put out fires on ships and veacels can kech on fire and men can be rescued from sinking ships :D this may be good for BS:M2.

[crazyhorse128]

why do people want to be able to be able to control land units in a naval simulator?

[VTROOPER]

i just whant to see veacels blow up if there and have some remanes on land and beach landing that need you to provide aircoved and naval gun fire support.

[crazyhorse128]

agreed they should be on the game but not controllable, maybe as a obj. like 'at least 6 tanks must survive'

[VTROOPER]

thats what ive bin saying :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: and infuntry can fight ecother and a point in having a LST and LCT.

[crazyhorse128]

sheesh calm down

[VTROOPER]

and the right tipe of lst the one we have is a lct atlest thats what my D-Day natinal geograthic looks like.

[xgamerms999]

I don't think we will.

[M0n3y]

well i like VT's idea

it's to protect the LST and LCT right?

[crazyhorse128]

theres already missions where you have to do that

[VTROOPER]

well i like VT's idea

it's to protect the LST and LCT right?

yes thats the main point.

[xgamerms999]

Make it MP. Take over the other teams airfields, get more aircraft in the game. Do I destroy thier airfield, or do I let it attack and possibly take it over???

[VTROOPER]

score 1 for x :D

[xgamerms999]

How about you include my other stuff and give me +1,000! lol

[VTROOPER]

im geting ready for a thing im my sig that has a score for every one.

[crazyhorse128]

what did i do to score 1? and how do i add to my score?

[VTROOPER]

some thing that is good.

[*~CNR4806~*]

Infantries should be exsist,but not controllable.
This game is about Naval Ships and vehicles. It's not BF '42

Tanks should be exsist as a controllable fighting unit.
As they have guns mounted and a bit armour,
and if they are not controllable,you cannot do anything to fighting on land.

Besides tanks,there should be Jeep,trucks,M3 Halftrack and M7 Priest Artillery,
only Tanks(eg.M4 Sherman) and artilleries(eg.M7) are controllable.
Halftracks,trucks,Jeeps should be AI controlled.

The way to launch tanks/artilleries should be like planes,
press Shift on a stopped and beached LST or a base,
and a menu pop up like you launch planes.
LST Launching capacity:4 Tanks
Base Launching capacity:12 tanks(4 groups,3 per group)

This is bad, and thats just the spelling and grammer in the last two posts! :rasp:
Why would there be german equipment in a pacific game, what am i missing?
Why on a naval combat game would you want to control ground troops, it's a different genre and should stay that way.
Vtrooper Cornwall is a place, cromwell was the tank (named after an MP that fought with the parlimentary army in the cival war)

[VTROOPER]

if we have operation torch, husky, over lord, and dragoon we need them.

[andy3536]

You've only picked battles were the german navy never turned up!
As i said this is a naval combat game and you should be thinking more along the lines of naval battles between 2 navys and not on beach assaults doing a first person shoot em up.
If you were a ship in overloard would you enjoy shelling targets hour after hour?
Were if you were doing carrier on carrier battles in the pacific, or the attack on tarranto or pearl, thats more like it!
This is ubisoft remember, put as little content in as possoble ltd
If they try and introduce another aspect to the BSM game engine they'll only mess it up.
I'm just hoping that BSM2 is everything BSM1 promised but didn't deliver!

[VTROOPER]

like grownd combat :D.

[crazyhorse128]

we are all expecting way to much of BSM2 it will be like at the end of the mission, 'I was glad we sunk that... INSERT DISC 2' and when we dont get what we hoped for because we got our hopes to high we'll have a good old moan on the forums

or your game freses (it hapens on 360 to me) and its the hardest misson in the game:mad2:

[crazyhorse128]

you never know

[VTROOPER]

or a meteor hits a bus casing it to crash into the power lines and explodes casing the power to go out for a week and you play the level and you cant bet it.

[andy3536]

like grownd combat :D.

Hmmm!
Now let me see!
ArmA
America's Army (free)
Red orchestra
Call of duty 3 (4 soon)
Graw 2
Probobly some more i havn't mentioned but i think we can see that in terms of ground combat there are plenty of good games and no need to force it in to a game engine that it's not ment for!

[crazyhorse128]

hmm, isnt this the BSM forum?

[andy3536]

Well yes but 'Genral discussion' which means anything goes.
Besides which it's about time someone talked about a good game on here :rolleyes:

[VTROOPER]

all i whant is the game to have more in the whay of camanding tanks and infantry having there own AI.

[crazyhorse128]

try the close combat series.

[andy3536]

Yes but not this game.
Crazy horses suggestion of close combat very good (and old so should be very cheap)
company of heroes
Combat mission
Graw 1&2 (controll your team)
Brothers in arms series
Rainbow 6 series.
There are many strategy games and squad based fps that are and will be more than a match for anything they could bodge into the BSM engine.

[crazyhorse128]

Combat mission

yea but that game is to tactical, the gameplay is so slow

[andy3536]

yea but that game is to tactical, the gameplay is so slow

Very true, it will only appeal to a strategy buff due to the slow nature but is very realistic.
When they take into account the quality of the steel in the tanks you know they've put alot of effort into it.

[VTROOPER]

im going to look into geting graw but theres a point in having infanyry in a navy game.

[andy3536]

im going to look into geting graw but theres a point in having infanyry in a navy game.

Mabee in a top down stratergy game where you can use the ships to support the landings, but it would be almost imossible to get it working well in a game such as this.
Let them concentrate on getting BSM2 what we all expected from this one befor they go reuining it with something that won't fit in the game or work properly.

Personnally i thought graw on pc was rubbish, yet on the 360 was very good (normally other way round)
I'm waiting for ArmA to arrive myself, should be good!

very good game :thumbsup:

[VTROOPER]

idea for the british they get landing craft with camandose in it :D

[crazyhorse128]

yea but we dont all speak in posh accents

[VTROOPER]

what do you meen by that :scratch:

[crazyhorse128]

[crazyhorse128]
