dkraver 1 Posted April 28, 2003 Got a idea from something i wrote in another post talking about how a loader position in a tank would make a tank platoon 16 instead of 12 soldiers which is 4 soldiers more than group can be today. A way to work around this would be to make vehicles a single indepent unit working alone under a commander where you only give the commander orders instead of all of the crew. If you as a example are the commander of a tank platoon you unit list would only show Tank 1 Â Tank 2 Â Tank 3 Â Tank 4 When playing in OFP 1 you dont really select the crew members in your own tank. For targets you right click and for moving you left click. And for other tanks in the group you just select the commander. So it would be much like you do today but instead of showing all member inside the tank you would see the tank as a group but only be able to communicate with the leader of the tank. Same if they leave the tank you would still only communicate with the leader. This could then again be used in a greater scale where you could control company size plus forces like 4 infantry platoons and support groups working under you where you only give orders to the leader of each platoon. A ai platoon can already work alone in OFP 1 if you give it waypoints. So it would only be adding the abillity to have unit and vehicles as independent groups and the leadership communications which would need some new commands since you already have the rank system in OFP 1. Its pretty much what the chain of command mod is working with if you take the part where you jump to persons inside the groups away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
