Joe98 91 Posted April 27, 2011 I am leading an infantry squad split into Team Red, Team Blue and Team White. Team Red will put fire on the enemy while Team Blue will flank left. I order Team Blue “1-4 Flank Leftâ€. How does Team Blue know where the enemy actually is?? - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maturin 12 Posted April 27, 2011 Test this yourself. Place two enemies, facing away from you, on the Utes runway. Set your team to Hold Fire, and give them flank commands after assigning a target with the 2 menu. See if they behave differently with different targets.

nkenny 1051 Posted April 27, 2011 The orders "pull back", "advance", "flank left", and "flank right" tells the selected units to shift their position in the formations 50 meters in that direction. so if you want #2 to move 100 meters forward and 50 meters to your right. Command :: Advance + Advance + Flank Right -k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trips 10 Posted April 28, 2011 Extend left/right/forward/backward are probably better names for the commands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muahaha 10 Posted April 28, 2011 flanking and advancing sounds more like military jargon. most of the time i use advance for scouting purposes and fall back for vehicle to NOT ram my own guys. flanking left and right... seldom use. Found that once you use flank left or right, the chances they will get killed will be higher, my own view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lugiahua 26 Posted April 28, 2011 If you want your teams to flank the enemy best ways are either open the map or use space bar to give the target area for your men... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KR303 10 Posted April 28, 2011 If you want your teams to flank the enemybest ways are either open the map or use space bar to give the target area for your men... Opening the map and then press space bar, select flank and click directly onto the enemy position Best way i have found! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bouben 3 Posted April 28, 2011 Opening the map and then press space bar, select flank and click directly onto the enemy positionBest way i have found! If I am not mistaken this will not lead to a flanking manoeuvre but to taking a diagonal route to an enemy position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
